The Last Jedi: How to tell a Saga

Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi (2017)




Petitions rises to remove Rian Johnson's take on Star Wars Universe which is The Last Jedi on canon is reasonable for the fans who have high expectation or more like prediction on the saga that never went true. After J.J Abram's the force awakens, people's expectation for the Episode 8 has already been set. There was the questions that the previous episode never answered and also there's the characters that needed fleshed off. If you have that expectations, you'll probably get disappointed with The Last Jedi, because all of the things we thought we will see in the movie never happened, and to the whole canon saga, Rian Johnson just despise it and Disney never did anything about it, or did they ?

3rd World Hero

Bayaning 3rd Word (1999) Short Review

Cinematography by Ding Achacoso
It was back on the days where Cinema in the Philippines had a more broad and border less idea of making movies rather than sticking on what is trend, Mike De Leon along with Clodualdo Del Mundo jr. creates a very imaginative and unique approach doing an unorthodox way of making a biopic about one of the most iconic person in Philippines, Jose Rizal.  There are a lot of attempt making Jose Rizal that talks about his story, from Documentaries to actual feature films (most notable was Marilou Diaz-Abaya's 1999 Jose Rizal) and Mike De Leon's Third World Hero is one of the most different among the others.
