Movie Review #8 - "Jedi Junkies" (Documentary - 2010)

Well ... Movie fans ... This is my first review of a documentary ... And I was extremely disappointed with this one ...

On IMDB:  Jedi Junkies (2010)

Benny's Rating:  1 / 10 Tabasco Peppers:

Synopsis:  

Don't worry, it's short.  This documentary filmmaker based out of NYC interviews "Star Wars" fans and collectors about their "obsession" and views about Star Wars.  They tell the stories of fan who are "die-hard" Star Wars fans, Fan Filmmakers, and extreme collectors.

It's a bone-headed look into the world of "Star Wars".

Interviews:

My God, the director didn't have a clue ... The interview several people, most who seem to be on the fringes of normalcy.  Don't get me wrong, I liked the Star Wars movies.  However, some of the "cats" in this documentary would scare me in real life.

One of the collectors has so much Star Wars collectibles that his family sleeps on air mattresses in his house.  I have a major problem with that ... When you take your hard-earned money and spend on collectables instead of a bed, I have an issue with that person.

Please.  It's just a movie.  Some of them are better than others.  But really, dedicating your life to Star Wars seems a lot out there for me ... And I'm pretty out there at times ...

Cinematography:

I don't know what kind of equipment that Director of Photography used, but I think my old Sony Personal Camcorder would have been better.  It's really atrocious in the quality and changing of HD shots to non-HD shots ... 

Overall Recommendations:

Well, I have been to a Star Wars theme-wedding in person.  The couple who got married ROCKED!! The costumes, light sabers, and several wedding attendees dressed up.  It was visually stunning.  So stunning that it was shown on one of the Weddings Shows on TLC.

Please do you self a favor.  Don't watch this.  Hopefully, my friends will post a link to their wedding.  It was way cool.

It's on Netflix if you are really bored and have absolutely nothing to do ...
