Report Card---"Star Wars, Episode 9."

My history with the Star Wars franchise is that I saw the first two, when they came out, and didn't come back until they sent me the screener for Episode 9.
So I guess you can say that I wasn't the biggest fan.
But they are terrific cowboys-and-Indians movies.

On to the scoring.

Is it interesting?

Sort of.
A.

Compelling even?

Not to me.
B-.

Is it good storytelling?

Considering that there is no depth to any of the characters, sure.
A.

Is. it well written?

Well enough.
A.

Is it well cast? Well played?

Every year it's some actor's job to be in every movie.  This year it's Adam Driver.
He seems a little out of place in this.
B.

Did the director put such a personal stamp on it so that no one else could have made it?

No.  It looks just like Lucas.
C.

How long does it take to establish the film's locale and time period?

It tells you right up front.

A.

Is it too long? Too short?

It seems way long.

Is it believable? Do you care about the characters?.

Enough, and enough.
B+.

Is it predictable?

Totally.
C-

Do you think about it after you've seen it?

No.
D.

  

Is it funny?

When it wants to be.
A.

Would it have been worth the thirteen bucks it would have cost to see it in the movies?

Not mine.
F.

Is it impressive?

In its way.
A.

Overall grade: B.

My books, "Show Runner" and "Show Runner 2" can be found at the Amazon Kindle Store,

along with newer ones, "The Man Is Dead", and "Report Cards".

They are all compilations of blog entries have since been removed from the blog.

So this is the only way you can find them.,

You can search by typing in my name, Cindy Williams, Laverne and Shirley, The Odd Couple, or Happy Days.

Check them out.

You don't need a Kindle machine to download them.

Just get the free app from Kindle, and they can be downloaded to an IPhone, IPad, or Blackberry.

The paperbacks, "Mark Rothman's Essays" and my new novel, "I'm Not Garbo" are not e-books.

But they are available for people without Kindle.

I have many readings and signings lined up for those, and the thing about Kindle is you can't sign one.

If you'd like one of the paperbacks, personally autographed, contact me at macchus999@aol.com.

And now, there's my reading of my screenplay of my unmade "Laverne and Shirley" movie on "YouTube".
