Rebel Film Critic- War of Planet of Apes

War of the Planet of the Apes

As I watch the trailer after seeing the film “War Of the Planet of The Apes” I wonder what was I watching. The film had so many moments that were so much slower then the pace with which this trailer would have led you to believe.  The film also had hole’s in it that didn’t allow you to fully suspend one’s disbelief and missed it’s emotional key hitting a few flat keys instead.  I also noticed a scene where the lighting was so off that I couldn’t escape into the reality of what I was watching. Yet overall it was a fine picture worth seeing ….on T.V.

 

** 1/2 – If you’re a die hard Ape fan add a 1/2 star more.

They Like Me The Best !!

I’m glad that my immediate family won’t read this post because they love me the most!! Not necessarily  my 2 legged family members that’s too hard to decide but those with 4 legs and a tail.  This was determined by scientific lick and tail method.  My dogs run over to me when I come home even when others are already in the house and that is not necessarily an occurrence my other family members can site. My dogs always have licked me 2.577 more times upon return then any other family members (it could be 2.4 times my mathematical skills aren’t that sharp).  Of course the sleep test can be sited as well as they sleep closer to my side of the bed then others but that’s just annoying. So as of today I’m their favorite until another family member reads this and gets better dog treats.

FOOTNOTE – The dog licks is “fake news” but if the NY Times can get a way with it I figured I could slip in one just this once or maybe…

Without Walking

Wheelchair Using walker

Recently I’ve taken a closer look into those that have difficulty walking as too many of my loved ones are suffering.  The ease which these people got from one place to another is suddenly stopped in their tracks as if a red light is put on their legs. They might be perfectly healthy from the waist up but losing access to easily move has left the rest of their body in pain.  I release now more then ever that insuring that we do more to keep our legs healthy as we grow older should be a paramount concern and will take more steps (literally) to try to make sure this occurs.

HOLD ON- Snowfall

I was ready to give up on “Snowfall” after episode one but decided to give it one more crack and now I might become addicted. For although the story is less then believable and the characters appear ruthless they are developing into people who I can relate too even if it’s from my dark side. I’m starting to feel for these individuals even though I’d never walk their path or even look in that direction in the same way I feel for the characters in “Godfather”.   This is compelling me to drop my wall of disbelieve and even disgust with what is going to happen as an addict keeps taking for the quick high of entertainment.  My addiction though surely won’t have an serious consequences to me, my family or neighborhood as the crack epidemic truly did.

It’s Hard!

It’s so hard to accept that a loved one is suffering from a mental health disorder. There is the “shame” you might feel as you notice other children/spouses moving up the ladder and yours is just slipping. There are those that will project their illness back on you in a defensive mechanism which only hurts them more and causes you additional confusion. Then there is our defensive nature as a whole which does everything possible before we will believe that our loved one has a sickness that happens to be in their head.  We can hide our head in the sand or be brave enough to take on the challenge so that our loved one can truly get better. Keeping in mind that if our loved one had a sickness in their heart we would treat it therefore its only a difference in location that causes this pain.

Maybe Naive but not Wrong

Trust 1

You try to help a person in need and they stab you and your family in the back you might be naive but you are not wrong. For giving someone a hand or a dollar when they appear to be in need is the right thing to do even if you’ve been screwed before.  Of course I don’t recommend you open your arms to everyone but if you did it might be a bit stupid (maybe a whole lot)  but it definitely isn’t wrong.  Those that have betrayed our trust are the one’s who are wrong and we are right for at least trying to make a difference.

2nd & 3rd Chances

12 Spies

You might have messed up but  just remember it is written you will be given a 2nd if not 3rd chance. For as the Israelite’s were to wander 40 years in the desert, this order could have been rescinded if only the 12 spies believed that G-D would prevail against the odds. Two spies believed and they became the only one’s to enter the promise land, from their generation.  We in own life’s can see our restraints lifting if we can stand alone if necessary and believe that G-D has a better plan for us and our family. Even if it appears that we are trapped in our own box there is a key called faith that will see us through.

They Should Know- Drug Dealers – Madoff

Bernie Madoff drug dealer 1

What separates the ‘psychopath” from the rest of us is their ability to separate the evil actions they perpetuate from the pain it causes others. From Bernie Madoff to the local drug dealer it’s a simple excuse “they should know better”. The drug dealer believes that they are only giving the people what they want even if it’s their own death and feels no remorse for the bodies that lay at their feet.  While Bernie Madoff to this day believes that those who believed him were suckers and if they weren’t smart enough to realize the returns he promised were in the sky then they only have themselves to blame.   While we might believe “buyer beware” we also believe “buyer be told upfront” and that screwing with people’s minds and bodies is no way to make a living. At the end of the day  the psychopath might have a bit more green in their pocket but that won’t buy them the protection they need from the hell they’ll be going to.
