A Few Movies

1. The Phantom Edit



To those who don't know The Phantom Edit is a fan edit of The Phantom Menace, and while it doesn't completely fix the movie it does alleviate a lot of problems the original had. It mostly just cuts out a bunch of Jar-Jar's silly scenes and ​other unneeded stuff. The download I got also came with an editor's commentary track, in it the dude goes over the reasons he cut out certain parts and the different editing tricks he used. I'd say it's worth looking into for that alone.

2. ​Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms



I seriously challenge anyone to watch this movie and to not cry during it. ​The general gist is that this kinda elf girl, who's life spans hundreds of years, adopts a regular human baby, who's life spans regular years. Theres also a bunch of other things that happen: wars, espionage, genocide, ect. But going too much into any of that would be spoilery. I wholeheartedly anyone watch this movie, it's really good.

3. Soldier



I found this movie while binging movies from the Alien cinematic universe. This movie is a kinda spin-off sequel to Blade Runner, taking place 17 years later; so yes, technically it takes place in the Alien cannon. This movie was really dumb, Last Action Hero / Starship Troopers action movie type dumb, so incredibly fun dumb. It's about this soldier who is discarded and comes across dumpster trash people who live on a trash planet. He befriends them and ultimately has to one man army protect them. Really dumb, really fun.
