My Top 20 Action/ Science Fiction Movies

1. Star Wars Revenge of the Sith-Originally ROTJ was my favorite star wars but this one takes the cake. Its action packed, and it wraps up the first 6 movies beautifully. I really think the action puts it over ROTJ for me. This movie does not get old. Better than AOTC and TPM put together!

2. The Matrix-The Matrix is another movie that is up there for best sci fi movie of all time. It’s pacing is a little slow, but other than that; Flawless and incredibly trend setting.

3. Star Wars Return of the Jedi-Originally my favorite movie. I love this movie. Maybe I’ve seen it more than any other OT movie. The Return of Anakin Skywalker at the end is greatness.

4. Transformers 2 Revenge of the Fallen-I really like everything about this movie. It’s got a decent story but that fight in the forest is still the best TF fight scene to date…and that’s saying something.

5. Lord of the Rings Return of the King-Return of the King is one of the best movies of all time. It is epic personified. It’s really long however. Definitely my favorite of the 3.

6. Men in Black-I love this film so much. Will Smith is great. It’s pretty funny too. Other Men in Black movies have failed to be this good.

7. Matrix Reloaded-Matrix 2 is amazing. It’s got more action then it’s predecessor. I don’t like some parts tho. The end is one of the biggest cliff hangers I have ever seen.

8. Star Wars A New Hope-I like this over ESB because it was the first one I saw. I love the ending sequence with the Death Star too.

9. Gladiator-This is a classic movie. Maximus is a character you root for. The end is sad sure, but satisfying.

10. Independence Day-The first ID4 is amazing. You really feel the hopelessness of the characters as they struggle to stop the alien invasion. Great dialogue too.

11. Star Wars Empire Strikes Back-The best SW movie, but honestly Its not my favorite. That Darth Vader revelation tho….lol.

12. Lord of the Rings Fellowship of the Ring-This movie is so much fun. It gets my pick over 2 Towers cause it just feels more magical to me.

13. The Mummy Returns-I love the first 2 Mummy movies. This one has the Rock in it and more action. Nuff said.

14. Spiderman 2-This movie is great in all aspects. It really puts you in Spiderman’s struggle, but after it all; he comes out on top.

15. 300-This classic film gets the nod easily over the 2^nd movie. I love the action sequences and dialogue.

16. Transformers-Some say this is the best TF movie. I love this movie. It gets the nod over TF3,4, and 5. Shia is a so cool. “No no no no” Lol.

17. Lord of the Rings The Two Towers-Its actually my least favorite of the 3 despite the excellent ending. The movie is great tho no doubt.

18. Star Trek (2009)- While I’m not a big Star Trek fan, I loved every bit of this reboot. Dazzling special effects and great story. It gets the nod barely over ST2 Into Darkness.

19. Avengers-What’s not to love about this star studded film? Iron Man, Captain America, The Hulk and Thor really deliver.Loki is a good villain too.

20. Inception-An incredibly creative and action-packed movie. I love the story too.

Album Review: Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign-Vultures 1

This album review is way overdue. I've had a long time to sit with the album....I really liked it at first but it hasn't really aged as well as other Kanye projects. Kanye's lyricism has taken a noticeable decline. I mean hes not horrible but alot of these bars are bad or tasteless. Ty Dolla $ign on the other hand does a great job on pretty much every track. The production though, as with most Kanye albums is really good. Some of it was reminiscent of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy or Yeezus. There are a few guest spots and most are well used. Hearing Kanye's daughter, North West, on "Talking"is cute. Freddie Gibbs steals the show on the hilarious "Back to Me". "Carnival" is a certified hit which features Playboi Carti & Rich the Kid. Overall most of these songs are good but I cant say this really adds much to Kanye's illustrious discography. Lyrics 19 Beats 23 Depth 22 Tilt 21 Verdict 85

Album Review: Kid Cudi-Insano (regular version)

I gotta admit I didn't like this album that much when I first heard it over half a year ago. I've heard that Kid Cudi doesn't exactly play to his strengths....that's partly true. I do like his rapping here tho. Honestly most songs here kinda blend together....."Keep Bouncin'" is really hype....and it gets the album off to a good start. "At The Party" with Pharrell Williams and Travis Scott may be my favorite song. "Wow" with A$AP Rocky is another highlight. Overall tho I feel this album tries too hard to be trendy. Cudi needed to put more of his pain into it. I mean a happy Cudi album isn't a bad thing but it really seems odd to me. You're not getting alot of singing or hums here know what I mean? However the production I found to be very good. Cudi is one of my favorite rappers like top 20 and I guess this will do for 2024. Lyrics 20 Beats 23 Depth 21 Tilt 21 Verdict 85

Video Game Review: Jedi Survivor

About a week ago or so I beat Star Wars Jedi Survivor. Im so happy I got a chance to play it cause they put it on PS4....yes I sadly as of early 2025 do not have a PS5 yet. But anyways I thought the game was considerable improvement over Jedi Fallen Order in most ways. The game is set a few years after the end of the first game. One thing I like is you keep all your Jedi techniques from the first game Jedi Fallen Order. You can force push and pull and double jump right from the jump. Early in the game you also get access to a new lighstaber form dual wield. In this game there are 5 lightsaber forms. Single is good in any situation but not the best for ideal situations. I think double bladed has good defense but low range. Dual wield is fast but has low defense. Later on you get access to a blaster form which has great range. Then there's the Cross-guard which is Kylo Ren's lightsaber form...its slow in this game but has high damage and defense to it. The enemy variety in the...
