This is my review of Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi, movie, a futuristic fantasy adventure movie from 2017. It's about the Resistance rebels defending against the First Order rebels. It's a visually nice movie, with great action scenes, without any substantial story or logic behind it. I was somewhat disappointed by the The Last Jedi film, but even I have to admit that Disney keeps the stories very even in quality.

If you'd like to be surprised by the Sting film, I don't recommend you to watch trailer 1 beyond 1:03, because it starts to give away parts of the plot. If you don't mind some minor spoilers, you can watch it though.

The The Dead Mountaineer's Inn is a novel by Arkady Strugatsky & Boris Strugatsky, published in 1970. The version I've read is the Hungarian edition, published by Kozmosz Könyvek in 1981. This is a story of an investigation, set somewhere in Scandinavia of the 1960s, where strange things happen to guests trapped in a hotel. The characters are varied, the events are interesting. I liked the The Dead Mountaineer's Inn book from the Strugatsky brothers, it was fun from start to finish.

If you'd like to be surprised by the The Flash film, I don't recommend you to watch the trailer beyond 0:20, because after that it starts to gives away the premise of the plot. Even if you don't mind knowing the premise, but you'd like to be suprised by the twists, stop watching at 0:48. After that it basically provides a summary of the film, up to the ending scene, it's only the very end we are not shown.
