I loved this film. Pay to see it. It's long and tough to watch though, so prepare yourself.
Even as an agnostic, I thought this film brought up some great philosophical questions, with no obvious pushed conclusion. It's left up to interpretation and felt more like a retelling of events than Christian propaganda. Obviously, it portrays faith in a positive light, so Christians...
I thought it was written by Mel but it wasn't. Lots of stuff seemed to be parallel with his life: recovery, Catholicism, nazi father figure, etc. But the screenplay was based on a book and it was written and directed by other folks. Anyways, great film. Nice twist for the typical revenge type father daughter trope. Great acting and foreshadowing and symbolism throughout. Really badass protagonists...
If Pulp Fiction, Nobody, Breaking Bad, American Beauty, and Falling Down, all had a baby, it would be this movie. A bit dated and cheesy at parts, but fantastic overall. The middle may lose you but stick around until the end and I'd say it redeems itself. There is a great reoccurring theme of a tamed wolf that works great as the social commentary of the emasculated modern male,...
Yup. “Based On a True Story” movies are the way to go. Best way to ensure minimal Hollywood BS. (Keyword: minimal.)
This movie addresses some tough topics but I think all ages can see it. Any negative components can be portrayed as a PSA against drug use. And since this was based on the book by a real recovered homeless drug attic, it’s realistic! No crap about how everyone on the street...
Just recently watched this movie again. It was made a few years before 911 so the parallels with how we treat barbaric Muslim invaders is purely accidental. Afterall, Bush didn't coin the Orwellian "Islam is a religion of peace" lie until after the attacks. But boy oh boy, is this film right on the money. I feel stupid giving such a slapstick movie 4 stars, but it does a great job of making fun of...
Great movie! Amazing motifs that are cleverly depicted. It will inspire you, warm your heart, and leave you with philosophical questions to ponder in regards to your own life. Definitely go see it!
The "diversity" in the cast was well placed and fitting because the script was all about jazz and show biz. Except for the opening scene which tries to jam as many non-whites in as possible to reach their...
Good premise. Thrilling cinematography. Worth watching.
You see, they changed the message of the novel, (which was apparently very pro-life, anti-immigration quota, and all about strong morals being necessary for a healthy society), and tried to turn it into an Antifa type movie. The messages aren't shoved down your throat like most Hollywood movies, so thankfully it leaves it up to interpretation....
The anti-patriotism rating is maxed out because the entire movie is a critique of our Military Industrial Complex. If you identify with the paleocons more than the neocons that hijacked the GOP, then you won't mind this critique because there are no jabs at soldiers or anything like that. And may I remind you that a Republican president is the one who coined the term "Military Industrial Complex" :
Even...
Great documentary. No political agenda crap added in at all. Fascinating story of a guy with a few screws loose who lived ahead of his time. This is the second time I've watched this movie and I found it even more riveting the second time 'round.
Not much to say about it without ruining your viewing experience so just trust me and watch it. Especially if you fit on either of the bottom two political...
Man, I love documentaries. I realize this more and more as I compare them with my movie-going experience with the usual Hollywood tripe. This one was great too. I don’t want to ruin anything, so just watch it when you have time. One thing I will say, though, is that this has some nice themes. Typically, documentaries present as neutral observers and merely dramatize things for emotional responses....
This was a pretty great film. Not gonna' lie. It's just sad that we can't have these same themes in movies lead by white people and about my nation. One of the most popular animated movies (worldwide) was "Frozen" but the themes weren't about the importance of familia, respecting your ancestors, unity, patriarchy, etc. like "Coco" was. Instead, if we're lucky enough to get blue eyed blondes as leads...
Just rewatched one of my favorite films. The casual immorality was something that stood out this time now that I am red-pilled. I'm no saint. Quite the opposite. But I wonder if future generations will watch films like this and see how promiscuous our society was, and how so many of the problems and angst were created because we stopped respecting the founding traditions & patriarch that created...
Want a good twist? M. Night Shammalammadingdong is back! I loved this movie. Keeps you on the edge of your seat and guessing throughout. And thanks to the amazing performance by James McAvoy, (reminiscent of Andy Serkis' award winning performance as Gollum), this movie actually has replay value, unlike the other M. Night films that lose their gusto once the surprise is spoiled. Of course, to enjoy...
Fantastic! Take your kids to see this one for sure. Absolutely gorgeous animation and a worthwhile reboot that brought something new to the experience while staying true to what made the original great. Very tough balance, but Favreau did it.
The only reason the Affirmative Action ratings have points is because after watching the movie, I watched the voice actors. A good chunk of the main characters...
Just before watching Little Miss Sunshine I listened to a fitting podcast that touches on rightwingers and beauty, because of my review of Doctor Dolittle 2. And I'm tellin' ya, you gotta' listen to these sections of the podcast, because they perfectly summarize the motives behind Little Miss Sunshine and every film like it:
When I first heard his crude, (and strangely poetic), analogy I laughed...
• Good nostalgia trip.
• No overt agenda.
• Lovable characters.
• Great animation.
To start off with something lighthearted I noticed, this musical is full of spoken word songs. Not sure if it was planned or if it was just because some of their actors couldn't sing. But it creates a unique film-watching experience, and is one of the many nuances that make this cartoon...
Awesome movie. Super racist and sexist, but all in good fun with no targets left un-satirized. I had never seen it before, but definitely think Troma type movies are the wave of the future for dissident voices sick of Hollywood BS. Of course, this is a super raunchy movie with childish humor for degenerates like me. If you are a purity spiraling bible thumper type or Wignat, you may not like...
This was a fantastic film. I expected slapstick 80's stuff, but was surprised that it was actually pretty somber and intense. Sure, the anti-Soviet propaganda and initial premise is a bit goofy, but after the first 20 minutes the movie gets deep. Very easy to imagine yourself in their shoes. Absolutely loved the clever role reversal (and ironic homage to our country's roots)...
I was happily surprised watching this film. Everything I saw was accurately portrayed and the analysis was on point. Most of the people interviewed were actually in tune with the image board subcultures except for a few douchey people interviewed. Matt Furie seems alright, but it's hard to root for him in the end. He reminds me of the Techno Viking guy not understanding the internet and...
Pretty great film. I had never seen it before but always love the idea of angels and demons. Yokai anime are my favorite and other Hollywood movies about ghosts or angels are in my top 10. So I am a bit biased. Very fascinating to see Nicholas Cage not be crazy for once, but he's just so friendly and kind that he is creepy so two sides of the same coin I guess...
Anyways, I would...
