Holy Crap, 3.5 readers.

Once in awhile a nerd blogger gets to discover something that is under the radar and share it with his 3.5 readers so that they too may take part in the joy.

And my new joy is…Ip Man!!!

Put on some loose clothing and start practicing your sweet kung fu moves, because BQB is here with a review of the Ip Man movie series.

OBLIGATORY SPOILER ALERT

I’ve seen this movie on Netflix for years and like many films, I just shrugged my shoulders and went, “Meh.”  Due to my lack of understanding of the Chinese language, I assumed “Ip Man” was some kind of superhero.  I thought the title was “IP man” as if he saves artists from the infringement of their intellectual property or something but no.  I was wrong.

I’ve long been a fan of martial arts movies so I finally…

Introducing the Shelfies – BQB’s Best Films of 2016

tablet-1632909_1280

I’m Bookshelf Q. Battler but for some reason, I review movies and rarely review books anymore.

Oh well.  We all have our idiosyncrasies.  Had I know what I was going to do on this blog when I started, would have called myself, “Moviescreen J. Watcher.”

But that would have been ridiculous.

In the spirit of, “Everybody Gets a Trophy Day,” I’m going to give every film I reviewed in 2016 an award of some sort, so enjoy.

BQB’s Short Review of Star Wars: Rogue One (2016)

Hey 3.5 readers.

So, as a good nerd, I’ll wait a few days until you all get a chance to see it although honestly, if you wait past the first weekend then you are not a nerd.

My quick impression is that this movie is tight and legit.  A bit darker and grittier than we are used to seeing in Star Wars though still family friendly because, you know, Disney.

In my opinion, it’s better than the prequels and last year’s The Force Awakens.

I particular enjoyed the sassy android and Darth Vader, well, I won’t spoil it.

Damn it.  The baby boomers got the original movies.  Millennials get this fine film.  What did Generation X get?  Jar Jar Binks!  Generation X screwed again!

Seriously though, go see it on the big screen.  You won’t be disappointed.

May the force be with all 3.5 of you.
