THE LAST JEDI MOVIE REVIEW: Exceeded expectations!

         The last Jedi was hit in my book.  I loved it from beginning to end.  The highlight of the whole movie was when Luke was hesitant to burn all the old Jedi text to end the error of the Jedi order for good.  However Yoda was standing behind him, and sensing his uncertainty, used the force lightening to set it on fire himself.  Luke was mistaken about his failure with Ky-lo-ren. but Yoda corrected him with some wise words meaning that we are not defined by our failures, but really refined by them instead, stating: "Our failures are our best teachers".  This is just a teaser from the movie so I will conclude with this:  The rebels, out numbered and out gunned were struggling at first, however when Luke stepped in the save the day, He went out in the royal  big bang fashion one would expect, helping the rebels to escape, and restoring hope to the the rebellion. And no.  He will not be the last Jedi.

Thank You

In the morning the doc and his wife have a conversation over coffee.

Dr. Calmer: “Morning Love!’ ‘And as usual, your coffee is great!”
Wife: “Where do people get that, anyway?” “Making bad coffee?”  lt's like riding a bike, once you learn, you got it.”
 Dr. Calmer: “I wish it was that simple, dear.”  “Human nature is not what it used to be.”  “People are not as learned as the old times.”  “Mankind as a whole, has ignored too much of the important things.”  “That is why life is a struggle for most.”  “Instead of turning to God for answers, they turn to vices, and horrible addictive behaviors.”  “Its not just drugs anymore,’ ‘the wicked use all sorts of things to enslave the masses with addictive pass-times.”
The phone rings.  It is the guard from the hospital:

Dr. Calmer: “Hello”
Door Guard: “We have her Sir!”  “She’s being interrogated as we speak.”
Dr. Calmer: “I’m on my way!”
Later, at the FBI Headquarters: the doctor is getting his chance to interrogate the prisoner.
Dr. Calmer: “You are a very slippery one.”  “What is your name?”
Fake wife: “Legion 2.” She said as she took on a supernatural appearance.
Dr. Calmer: “Legion 2.”  “You mean like the Legion of the Bible story of the demon possessed man Jesus healed?”
Fake wife: “Almost, they were close friends of ours.
The doctor quickly smized that if this is true, they let themselves be caught for a reason.
Dr. Calmer: “If this is so, you let yourselves be caught for a reason.”  “What is it?”
Fake wife: “Gog is coming!”  “You all are going to die!”
Dr. Calmer: “My knowledge of Gog’s attack ends up in God’s prince, Michael standing up for his people and defeating Gog.”
Fake wife: “Your faith blinds you.” “Gog is coming!”  “You all are going to die!” She said in a crowded voice as if it were many voices, and the spirits threw her into convulsions and she expired.

SHORT STORIES AND POEMS PRESENTS: “THE HEADSHRINKER”

LAST TIME ON HEADSHRINKER:


 De-briefing"
FBI Agent 1: "What new memories have surfaced?"

Dr. Calmer: "As I was laying in the rubble, I saw a supernatural sight."  "A supernatural being appeared to him, and was conversing with him, and then they both vanished from the building." "After that, I blacked out and awakened in that strange place."

FBI Agent 1: "It fits,' 'It was believed that Jack-the-riper used uncanny-power to failed all his victims." "God help-us!"

Dr. Calmer: "This does not sound crazy to you?"

FBI Agent 1: "I am a believer in a higher power." "Besides, in your absence, while searching through the debris, all my men were reporting strange sightings, and occurrences."

Dr. Calmer: "Our strategy must change."  "We need to scrutinize all operatives working with us on this case." "No one corruptible." The more incorruptible, the least likely they can be compromised against us."

FBI Agent 1: "Amen to that!" "Go to your Wife, and get some rest, after your routine check up at the hospital."

Dr. Calmer: "Right Captain!"  "See you in the morning.

TO BE CONTINUED:


At the hospital:
      Doctor Calmer has an unusual experience with a nurse during his check-up:

Nurse 1: "Been investigating some unusual crimes lately, hem?"

Dr. Calmer: "Yes!, but how would you know anything about that?" "This mission is classified, and need to know basis."

Nurse 1: "Too much weird crap was happening to keep it quite, when all those agents and cops came in here and were sent straight to the psych ward talking about supernatural sightings."  "You be careful out there doc!"  "You good people, and trying your best to do good with the law and all."  The wicked on would love to stop-ya." Later!"

Dr. Calmer:  "Right???"

Nurse 2:  "Time for your EKG doc, then you can go home to your wife."

     The doctor notices something familiar about the nurse, but was too preoccupied with other thoughts to acknowledge it at first, but then he noticed a needle with her supplies and asked:

Dr Calmer: "When did you start giving injections with an EKG?"

Nurse 2: "Dr. said your iron is low, and he ordered an injection."  She said while carefully keeping her back to him.

Dr. Calmer:  "My iron is not low, and why are you keeping your back to me?" 

Suddenly the doctor recognized a familiar tone to her voice and realized it was the women that was impersonating his wife in that strange place.  Then he drew is weapon.

Dr. Calmer: "Freeze!" "Don't move!"

With cat-like reflexes, she grabs the needle and threw it at him just accurately enough to run out while he was dodging  the needle, Knocking down the guard that was rushing in as she went out.

Nurse 1: "You okay doc!?"

Dr. Calmer: "Yes!"  "How the hell did she get in here?"

Nurse 1: "I don't know sir, I am so confused"  "Security has been so tight lately.  I'm scared. 

Door Guard: "She alluded us sir, but men are still searching for her."
Dr. Calmer:  "Keep up the search and contact me at home when you find her."

Later at the safe house with his wife:

Dr. Calmer: "Oh love, I missed you so much!"

Wife: "I missed you to, babe."  "After you kill this scum-of-the-earth "Club Owner", you need to retire and take me to Florida and leave all this crazy life behind."

FBI Agent 1:  "I don't know what happened doc, but everyone is gone, and we are outside."  "Somehow they knew we were coming."  "I think we have a leak in our operation." "I'm going to need your help to plug it up. ASAP."

Dr. Calmer: "With pleasure!"  "Thanks for coming after me."

FBI Agent 1: "You are one of our best operatives, and we would be lost without you." "Don't mention it.
As the doctor comes out and boards the chopper, and sinks into a deep contemplated phase, wondering how a gangster, drug lord, human-trafficker,
and killer, could be so elusive, and cunning, and have such power and resources at his disposal.

TO BE CONTINUED:

Little did the doctor know, those puzzling thoughts would awaken suppressed thoughts deep in his consciousness.  Memories of what happened after the explosion in the prison. In his semi-conscious state, while piled in the rubble, a supernatural figure appeared and was conversing with the Club owner.  He remembers thinking to himself:  "Stand was right, well half-right.  This man is not the devil, but not far from-it.

Dr. Calmer: "Good lord!"

FBI Agent 1: "What is it?"

Dr. Calmer: "Some memories from the explosion are coming back to me."  Memories that might explain a great many things.

FBI Agent 1: "Excellent Doc!" "However, save it for de-briefing,"

Dr. Calmer: "Agreed."

                                                                         De-briefing"

Dr. Calmer: "Dear, ' 'You made my favorite,' 'waffles! "

Suddenly, she got a phone call: "Hello?"

Fake wife:  "Ahh,  Okay!!"

Dr. Calmer: "Is there a problem dear?"

Doctor Calmer Wakes up in a strange place!

SHORT STORIES AND POEMS PRESENTS: “THE HEADSHRINKER” LAST TIME ON HEADSHRINKER:



Doctor Calmer: “Who are you?” …..and where is this place?”
Fake wife: “You are home dear,” and calm yourself, you have been through a lot.”  “A very bad bump on the head, short-term memory loss, and a slight concussion.”

“Lay back down, get some rest, things will make more since 

in the morning dear.”

The doctor quickly agreed for he though if someone would go 
through the trouble to fake all of this, they must be 

watching.  

All he could remember clearly was the prison and that loud 

explosion.  So he laid back down.

TO BE CONTINUED:
VON BRO
    

    Stunned, disoriented, slightly confused, Doctor Calmer carefully plans his next moves.
Suddenly he remembers the device he got from one of his clients:

FLASH BACK:
Doctor Calmer: “Wait a minute!” “You said some of them out there knows more about what’s going on, you shouldn’t be talking here, the place could be under surveillance.
Stand: “Don’t worry Doc, I got it covered, He said as he pulled out a cell phone with an unusual device plugged into it.  “One of my latest creations”
Doctor Calmer: “What is that?”
Stand: “It is a special white-sound device the scrambles one’s personal conversations, so that no one can eavesdrop on you.”
Doctor Calmer: “Scrambled signals can be unscrambled Son.”
Stand: “Maybe so, however when they do, that’s when the software really goes to work and confuses them even more.”  “I call it my tower-of-babel program.” “It will sound like I’m kicking it with my homies, and pay it know mind,”
Doctor Calmer: “Very clever my Son.”  “I will pull some strings and get you immediately put in my custody under house arrest.”  “No one would dare try anything with me watching them.”  “After my report, they would have too much to explain.”
Stand:  “Thanks Doc!”  “You are a good man, here take one of my devices, in case we get separated, so I can call you safely when I can.”
Doctor Calmer: “Thank you.”  “I was wanting to learn more about that device.”
Stand: “I though you would.” “The instructions and specs will be sent to you e-mail.”   

He pulled out  the device he had carefully hid on his person and looked around for anything that looked like a cell-phone.

Fake wife: "Whats the matter, dear?"
He nonchalantly said:
Dr. Calmer: "I seem to have misplaced my cellphone, you know where it is?
Fake wife: "No! You must have lost it when you had your accident, but I know you don't remember, but I got you a new one." "Here dear."  "I know you would like to call your office,' "And you can't wait to get back to shrinking heads."  "I will go make you some breakfast."  As she leaves the room, he assumes he's being watched, so he goes to the bathroom and cuts off the lights before he puts in the devices which automatically triggers a text to Stand to put his in before he starts talking. Stand immediately responds and then calls him: 
Dr. Calmer: "Hi Stand!"
Stand: "Hi Doc!" "We have been waiting for your contact, when we did not find your body in the demolished building." "You okay doc?"
Dr. Calmer: "Yes!"  "I'm Fine." My-Wife?"
Stand: "She's fine; Safe House, Hi security!"
"I got to go now." "The F.B.I. Told me only to talk to you just long enough for them to get a fix on your location." "A rescue mission is on the way."  "Also they know what's up about this device." "Be sure to keep it out of sight."
