Now, I need to catch up. Today, Marvelous Monday #56 will, indeed, go up as planned, and I plan to release a review for George Clooney’s The Ides of March soon. So, that’s pretty much it for now. I’m back. Did you miss me?

Technical Difficulties: Please Stand By
Bad news. I am currently having a couple of annoying issues with my laptop computer keyboard. Hopefully, it will be fixed sooner rather than later. But at this point in time, I have to face the facts – it will be difficult for me to write all of the reviews that I had planned for the coming week.
Sadly, this also means that Marvelous Monday #56 won’t post this Monday. I think everything will be fixed during the coming week, but if it isn’t, then I’ll let you know. You can still reach me on twitter @ImJeffreyRex, and I’ll try to be back as soon as possible. Until next time – go watch some movies.

REVIEW: 13th (2016 – Documentary)
The following is a quick review of Ava DuVernay’s documentary 13th – a Netflix Original Documentary.
Previously, I have written about documentaries on this blog, and if you look at the scores that I’ve given films, you will notice that I’ve given scores to some documentaries. But I rarely review documentaries on this blog, even if I love certain documentaries like Alex Gibney’s Going Clear or Laura Poitras’s Citizenfour. Today, though, I’ve decided to review one, and it’s extraordinary. You have to watch Ava DuVernay’s 13th. Continue reading “REVIEW: 13th (2016 – Documentary)”

REVIEW: Westworld – “Chestnut”
The following is a spoiler review of the second episode of Westworld – Developed by Jonathan Nolan & Lisa Joy

Meanwhile – behind the scenes – Elsie Hughes (played by Shannon Woodward) fears that whatever happened to Abernathy may be contagious.

Rogue One Predictions – Dagobah Day #21
Last September, Dagobah Day focused on four predictions I had for Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens. Two of my four predictions look pretty good today and – technically – the last two could still be true if they explain more about Snoke and Poe in the future.
I’m not caught up on the Poe Dameron comic book, so that may have actually debunked my theory. Today, I want to try to speculate and make some predictions about Rogue One: A Star Wars Story‘s plot.
