2.3 Stars Episodes 1 and 2 I watched the first two episodes with expected boredom. I'm fairly certain that the rest of the season would struggle to maintain and likely drop below this benchmark. There were a slop load of overdramatic slow motion fights, which were an attempt to emulate and translate The Fallout games gore filled combat to screen. Stale, but not terrible, CGI for settings and characters;...
This piece of global warming propaganda was pushed hard by our elites in my youth. Full of lies, such as 20 feet sea rise and the Gulf Stream stopping altogether, and even popularizing the poor drowning polar bear meme, this propaganda was created to whip up a mass hysteria that we still are dealing with every day. Instead of focusing on actual environmental concerns, such as plastic pollution and...
3.7 Stars Obviously this will probably only really be interesting to you if you care about Apocalypse Now or film making. Lots of stories about production problems involving, replacing lead actors, working with The Philippines government during a rebellion, and fat ass Marlon Brando, trying to come up with poetic crap to say while the cameras roll
4.0 Stars Apocalypse Now is a ridiculous film. It is a product of so many things/ideas, A classic literary work (Heart of Darkness), an expression of America's cultural confusion and regret from the Vietnam War, and the hellish production of the film its self. This is why it has so much staying power in the canon of films. It's a conversation piece that can be followed down so many different avenues...
The art style is ugly and the classic Hercules story is watered out to a flat and dull American flick. The returning black singers are annoying, and the main female character lacks feminine manners. In short, I would skip this one for sure
An enjoyable movie for a lazy evening. Main cast is all good actors. The love story with some Arab woman is a big minus, but can be overlooked
Quite predictable story, but a wholesome and cute fantasy overall
This will forever be the 'real' Most Wanted. Soul was put into the game to make it just off-the-rails fun. No spyware, no internet connection needed, no microtransactions, no 'message'. The hardest part is finding a copy of the game - you may need to sail the high seas for one. I still have an xbox 360 so that's the platform I have played it on
Graphics are great, gameplay is pretty good, loot acquisition leaves a lot to be desired... Â and they randomly threw in a gay character and had him kiss his lover in one of the scenes. Not the most egregious stuff ever but it was very disappointing to see from a studio like square enix in Japan that has historically avoided this kind of thing. Â Hopefully it's not a sign of things to come
I played WoW on and off from WotLK - Legion as I had time and always thought the story was poorly told but interesting. Â However, when a friend of mine and I decided to try Dragonflight it became a meme for us laughing at how many gay characters there were and how many questlines they gave us shoving the normalization of gay marriage in our faces. Â Ultimately after our month subs ran out we both...
From the first minutes of the movie, which is supposed to take place in rural England just after WWI, when you see that the main character is a strong independant woman who is living with a black man, your warnings should start to flash. Yes, it's obviously another 'woke' anti white men movie ! Then she is accused, by obviously stupid policemen who don't know what they are doing, of sending anonymous...
Like the recent "The Truth vs Alex Jones," this is just blatantly a piece of election year propaganda designed to make people hate the right and vote left. But it doesn't even do this well and is poorly edited to boot. While ostensibly a documentary about 4chan, it gets a lot wrong, leaves a lot out, and only briefly skims over everything else. Even the main focus of it, that 4chan has encouraged...
3.1 Stars If you like hidden messages containing fragmented factoids spread out to allow a viewer to rationalize meaning from a typical A24 schizo subversion slop film, Under Silver Lake fits the bill. From what I could tell the decoded messages point to a "wow dude, money is such a heckin abstract concept and it makes people crazy", kind of takeaway. The subtext and themes are all a bunch of reddit...
Very solid B movie and best example I can think of of a movie that changes genres part way. It gets bonus points for doing something interesting. Someone else put this on for me, so I had no idea of the premise going into it and I have to say this is the ideal experience. You should go into it thinking it's some sh*tty made-for-TV Hallmark movie and then you'll be pleasantly surprised with the twist. There's...
My review applies to the later seasons, pretty much anything after season 2. Season 1 is a great watch, it only goes downhill from S2, fast. Fargo portrays perfectly the decline of modern Hollywood as we got closer to today's woke madness. Leading up to the elections, the grooming starts with season 4 (that all whites are racists or dumb and all blacks are victims and geniuses with high ethical standard),...
3.1 Stars Perfect Days is a film that tries to make you feel how mundane and consistent a Tokyo janitor's day to day routines are. After you have been lulled into a pleasant boredom from seeing the focus character of the film trim his mustache, select a cassette tape to listen to on his commute, and scrub a toilet a couple times, the relatively minor surprises and anomalies to his structured days...
It's just barely passable as a dumb action movie if you want to turn you're brain off. Seeing McGregor as a crazy leprechaun of chaos and psychopathic mirror to the sociopathic MC is great fun. But otherwise it sucks ass. The fight scenes were mostly a let down. Too ungrounded and silly. Based on the poster, I was expecting at least a few great fight scenes between Gyllenhaal and McGregor, but there...
3 Stars Rogue City adds nothing new or good to the story and lore of Robocop. The narrative of the main questline is generic, and the less you think about it while playing the game, the better. What really dissapointed me was the lack of humor or any good comedic timing that endeared me to the first film. The main gameplay is combat, which mainly means you will be holding down the fire button, punching...
3.7 Stars A period piece with a very narrow narrative focus. It chronicles the fortunes and misfortunes of one man. Quick fortune and Misfortune come readily to Barry Lyndon, who's character quickly goes from a naive young man to a life long gambling opportunist. A narrator which is present throughout the film will remark that Barry has changed after some portion of his life, but Barry rarely shows...
Not very woke, but not a good story. Ultimately a waste of time. The mystery premise that hooks you in the first few episodes is never delivered on in a satisfying way. When it is unraveled, it comes too fast, has too many "just so" things that broke my suspension of disbelief, and was just kind of lame. The whole metaphor of the story is about if people can ever change, become "new people" and be...
