Reel Wisdom: Bleed For This (2016)

Bleed For This was a 2016 film based on the life of boxer Vinnie Pazienza. The movie stars Miles Teller as Vinnie Paz and contains some of the truest movie wisdom I'd seen or heard in years.

It's all about doing things that people say you can't. That's something we've all faced at least once or twice in our lives..

Take a listen and see how Vinnie Paz came back from a life threatening car accident to regain the world championship when everyone around him told him that "It's not that easy"

"This is not going to go the way you think". Wow, Luke was not kidding.  Today on GeekFest Rants, Carlos takes a first look at Star Wars: The Last Jedi.  Probably the most divisive Star Wars film so far. 

We will go scene by scene and pick apart every wonderful and awful thing about the latest entry in the Star Wars saga.  Is this film faithful to the original Lucas vision or even The Force Awakens? 

Where will this go next?  Where does it stand among all other Star Wars films?  Is this the greatest one ever or the worse one?  And keep in mind, we only saw it once.
