Star Wars: The Compete Series

Star Wars: The Complete Series

Although the prequel trilogy is quite recent, the Star Wars Series did start in the 70s. These films have been considered one of the best film series of all time. The series was nominated for 25 Academy Awards, of which they won 10, 3 of which were Special Awards. Overall the film series has accumulated well known attention with the score, and some of the lines from the film being still used in media today. As most people do, I prefer the Original Trilogy over the Prequel Trilogy.

Indiana Jones Trilogy

The Indiana Jones Trilogy

One of the other greatest trilogies of the 80's is the Indiana Jones Trilogy. As most of you know, there are 4 movies in the franchise, but since I'm doing a back in time segment for my reviews, I decided to only do the original three. As one of the most well known Spielberg creations of all time, Indiana Jones has been seen as one of the best. Starring Harrison Ford as the archaeologist, it is one of the most unique characters there is. With 14 Academy Award nominations(including Best Picture, and Best Director), it won 7 of them. It was nominated for Best Original Score each time, and won a Special Award in Sound Editing. This is truly one of the things that made the 80's and 90's films masterpieces.

Gravity

Gravity

So right now I am stopping my 90s and 80s tribute so I can do a review on Gravity. This movie was just one of the best of 2013 so far. There were three things that absolutely made this movie great. The first was the script. It just was good. The second was the special effects. Unless if they actually put Sandra Bullock and George Clooney in space, then these special effects did just about everything for this film. It looked real, and so for that I give a well deserved round of applause to the special effects team. Finally the acting. Sandra Bullock was great and probably will be nominated for best actress this year. George Clooney as well did a marvelous job. 9/10.

Director: Alfonso Cuaron

Music: Steven Price

Cast: Sandra Bullock and George Clooney

Release Year: 2013

Rating: PG-13
