Monday: The Rocketeer (1991)
Cliff is a pilot struggling to get by. He is dating a beautiful woman, Jenny, trying to make her way in Hollywood. A car chase between the mob and the FBI ends at the air field that Cliff works at. Later he finds a jetpack hidden in a broken down plane. He wants to use it to do a show to make money so he can buy a new plane. But the FBI and mob are still looking for it. Cliff has been seen using the jetpack with a helmet on. He is named the Rocketeer by the press. A famous actor, who is actually a spy, is working with the mob to get the jetpack. He has darker plans for the jetpack. He finds out that Jenny is somehow connected to the Rocketeer. So he kidnaps her to draw Cliff out of hiding. Cliff must save Jenny and keep the jetpack away from the wrong people. This movie is ok. They were trying to make a 40's movie with all the Hollywood glamour. But they missed the mark. The acting isn't very good either.
Wednesday: Little Women (2019)
This is the classic tale of the four March sisters' adventures and struggles. I'm not going to do a summary since most people know the story. I liked the movie but it was a little jumpy. I get what the director was trying to do. This has been done so many times and she wanted to do something different. So the movie starts at almost the end of the story. Then it proceeds to jump between the past and the present. The parts themselves are good but then you jump to the future and the flow of the story is disrupted. I think it would have been just as good if the story was just told in order. By being made today it is already going to be different. You don't need to do anything else.
Friday: Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker (2019)
The story picks up a year after the events of The Last Jedi. Rey is continuing her Jedi training. Kylo Ren is determined to become the most powerful leader. He discovers that the sith might still be around. He wants to eliminate them so no one can be more powerful than him. He finds more than he bargained for. Kylo Ren still wants Rey to join him. She resists, although she is drawn to the dark side. The sith become a threat and Rey, along with the other Resistance members, must fight them and put an end to it. I'm trying to be as vague as I can. I don't want to give any of the big twists away. I liked it a lot. I thought it was a good ending to the franchise. It was better than The Last Jedi for sure. They should have just kept J.J. Abrams as the director. Or waited for him to be available to do The Last Jedi. I was happy about one relationship and sad about another. Vague enough?
