I am NOT a critic. I'm merely an observer. (Books, movies, plays, musicals etc.)

The Gunslinger(Idris Elba) and The most powerful SHINE, Jake Chambers(Tom Taylor) The movie is based on THE DARK TOWER books (both images are from Google) The last Gunslinger, Roland Deschain, has been locked in an eternal battle with Walter O'Dim, also known as the Man in Black, determined to prevent him from toppling the Dark Tower, which holds the universe together. With the fate of the worlds at stake, good and evil will collide in the ultimate battle as only Roland can defend the Tower from the Man in Black. - imdb Directed by Nikolaj Arcel ...

(based on "The Dark Tower" novels by) I am NOT a Stephen King fan.  I don't read his books, but I was able to watch MISERY, THE RUNNING MAN, CHILDREN OF THE CORN, MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE, FIRESTART...

This is a movie that is worth every centavo(or penny, whatever the case may be).  True, it could have been shorter, but hey, if you're a Christopher Nolan fan like me(I have written about his past movies, but somehow, I was not able to save them when Multiply.com went pfft...I thought I did, but I'm sadly mistaken...now I'd rather stay in awe...I hope one day I could write about them), you wouldn't mind the length. You would sit back, relax, then would try to analyze the scenes, then sit back, relax, then try to analyze the scenes. ;-)  I love movies that make you think, but also gives you moments joy and satisfaction. For some weird reason, I was not able to see a trailer of this film until I already saw it.  At first I thought Mackenzie Foy was going to morph  into Anne Hathaway, but as it turns out, she grew up to be Jessica Chastain.  I was also surprised to see that this movie has a power house (Or may I say, stellar?) cast besides Anne Hathaway ...
