It was the ultimate, bad-guy killing weapon that was utilized only once. By my reckoning, it could have taken them straight to the final level without needing to find a missing piece. Sort of like those eagles in a certain series of Hobbit-starring books and movies. <br /><br />I understand why the movie made a lot of money due to the lack of action-adventure, family-oriented films in the marketplace and its Rock-solid, star power, but I was not very impressed, especially as a bonafide "man-killer" wouldn't need to resort to flirting in the first place. She should've just proceeded to the killing of men from the getgo. A C- flick at best in my book.<br /><br />Anyway, I probably should not have seen it immediately after watching the most over-looked family film of the year (star power could not entirely overcome subject matter), <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngiK1gQKgK8" rel="nofollow">Wonder.</a> Jacob Tremblay was brilliant in "Room," but he's so good in "Wonder" that there isn't a descriptive word invented yet that does his performance justice.<br /><br />I reckon that there should be certain films that all teachers and students need to see to gain some understanding and empathy for those of us that are different. "Mask" and "The Boy in the Plastic Bubble" are good ones. "Wonder" joins "The Miracle Worker" as a truly great one.<br /><br />John from Daejeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08431973044799010218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-76232119979751045012018-04-08T17:27:32.741+09:002018-04-08T17:27:32.741+09:00Yeah, I saw in the Wikipedia trivia that she'd...Yeah, I saw in the Wikipedia trivia that she'd been on Dr. Who, but since I'm not a Whovian, that connection was utterly lost on me.Kevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-69453367893520009992018-04-08T16:51:45.713+09:002018-04-08T16:51:45.713+09:00When you wrote "Karen Gillan (the Scottish ac...When you wrote "Karen Gillan (the Scottish actress best known as..." I automatically completed the sentence with "...Amy Pond!" in my head. I guess if your primary association is with Nebula, you might indeed be surprised at her comedic acting chops. If you've ever seen her as a companion, though, it won't be nearly as surprising.Charleshttp://www.liminality.orgnoreply@blogger.com
