video review : War For The Planet Of The Apes

War doesn’t Rise to the level of the orginal, but it’s better than the Dawn. It doesn’t seem so at the start; the first third is pretentious and overdramatic; but before too long, the story starts to get interesting.

It’s an adventure of sorts as The Apes, led by Caesar, go against Alpha-Omega, a military group led by a “bad” Colonel whose purpose is to save humanity from the plague that mutes people and “turn us into beasts.”

video review : The BFG

video review : The BFG

This Disney adaption of The BFG, a 1982 children’s book by Roald Dahl, might have been big fun if director Steven Spielberg had taken more liberties with the plot. The first few minutes, in which a giant old man snatches a little orphan girl in the dead of night, are somewhat intriguing, but the story doesn’t really go anywhere interesting from there. The dream catching bit is silly and the Giant’s bombastic lingo is annoying, though scenes in which he hides her from Giant Country villains offer playful suspense.
