Split - while this is sticking to being a psychological thriller, it's pretty good. But there's a silly lapse into OTT horror towards the end (and the final-frame revelation by way of explanation that the movie is meant to be set in the 'world' of one of Shyamalan's earlier movies is too little, too late).
Honestly, the tie in should have been an after credits scene. Too bad Marvel is saturating the market with those.

Rudy
Pretty good. Rudy got baptized into my church on Saturday so I thought it the perfect moment to listen to the soundtrack. I need to rewatch the film now.

The great thing about The Last Jedi is that last could mean final or previous or both. We'll have to see.

The General
This was the first movie I had to watch for my intro to film class. It was pretty good. I grew up watching the Three Stooges, so the old slapstick comedy hit close. I found myself laughing at jokes when the whole theater was silent. It reminds me of this time in my history class where we watched part of a Charlie Chaplin film and there was a joke where a bunch of pigs were being corralled into a pen and it fades into humans entering into the subway. It was hilarious, but I was the only one who laughed. Whatever.
Unbreakable
Awesome. Despite some wonky dialogue and the really tacky freeze-frames at the end the movie was great. I don't really understand why it ties into split though

A Series of Unfortunate Events
I was a child when these books were coming out, so I thought there would be some sense of nostalgia or something in there. I was kind of underwhelmed. I don't like Neil Patrick Harris, and I don't think he made a very good Count Olaf. Sunny was creepy as heck. The campy aspect was fun though, but seemed like it was actually trying to be serious in some spots.

Split
Quite an interesting film. I need to watch Unbreakable now haha.

Zoolander
What a classic.

Ehh. I've bought a few movies, but with streaming and the library just a few minutes walk away, I haven't really felt a need to buy movies. I did buy the Star Wars dvd/blu ray pack though. Also, my roommates just got an xbox one since the last time I posted, so I can now watch blu rays at a high quality haha.

Buy a cheap blu-ray player for the TV?
I'm not shelling out money for that. My computer plugged into the tv is a perfectly fine set-up because I don't need super high quality to enjoy a film.

My computer's old, so it doesn't have hd capabilities, thus looking a little fuzzy on my tv.

Minority Report
I checked it out from the library like two and a half weeks ago and finally got around to watching it. Pretty good. The score was superb (of course). The acting was good. The plot was good. It was paced well. The cinematography was interesting. It would probably look way better if I had a better computer haha. The scene in the mall with Agitha was the best part of the film imo.

The film has very little momentum and the stakes are patchy at best. Apparently the people of Naboo are "dying", but we're never given a reason to care because we never meet them beside the ruling class. All we see are the governing elites one-up each other in the galactic capital. That might be interesting to someone who considers the halls of Congress an ideal holiday destination, but dramatically it's as dull as C-Span.
We see the senate for two minutes. Admittedly, the most boring two minutes of the film, but it was necessary to the plot.

It's boring, simple as that. Star Wars shouldn't be boring.
I don't think it's boring.

Star Wars: The Phantom Menace
This movie gets a lot of flak, but I like it. I don't understand why people hate it so much. The bad lines and moments of bad acting don't completely ruin the film. The score is genius (of course). The pacing's good, but get's a little slow when they get to coruscant until the battle. I like podracing. It reminds me of Ben-Hur.

EDIT: It must be weird for younger people who have only seen the SE versions of the OT and never the originals, to be listening to Jedi and suddenly hear Yub Nub...
Haha. Funnily, even though I was born after the Special Editions came out, I grew up on the VHS versions.

Phantom Menace Ultimate Edition
I don't think I'll ever get tired of this.

Episode 1 is still my favorite score by a fraction over the original trilogy. There is something so intense about so many of the cues in that. Tons of themes, whomever said there were only 4 is insane. It's chock full of new themes and motifs and the action music is better in my humble opinion over most of all the other scores. The writing is virtuosic and the playing is astounding on that score.
Exactly how I feel. Plus the warm brass parts during Tatooine.

@WillMajor intervals are bigger than minor intervals. A minor second is a half-step, while a major second is a whole step. A minor third is 3 half-steps while a major is 4. A minor sixth is 8 half-steps and a major sixth is 9. A minor seventh is 10 half-steps and a major seventh is 11. I hope that helps. Don't worry about the keys. In my personal opinion that's not a very good way of teaching it.
