I have mixed feelings about Allan Konigsberg. Revelations about his sexual proclivities as well as my own awakening to the director’s participation in a massive tribal project of hostile culture distortion make it impossible for me to like “Woody Allen” the way I did when I was younger; but it would be dishonest of me to pretend that his body of work did not influence my intellectual development....

Yup. Another overly simplistic plot line about evil capitalists who try to exploit the environment at all costs. And of course they just HAD to make it clear that they were Republicans. In one scene, the cartoonishly evil fat cats say:

I'm sure I'm gonna' regret this, but maybe you should talk with Dolittle.

And what? Give in to a bunch of beasts and lower life forms?

I took on the Democrats!...

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...

  Pretty much everything I said about the first film applies to this one. Morgan Freeman plays a smaller part so they add a few more black extras in the background. A latinX professor for a brief cameo. And they make up for their lack of diversity with a few "strong female leader" moments, but you can just let it slide as teen angst I guess.

One thing I really like is how they make the characters...

  Cute family movie. There are lots of broken homes in the plot, but it's just for easy sympathy points from the audience. I didn't sense any agenda being pushed in this regard; the father figures were all respectable men. Another really refreshing theme (perhaps unintentional) was showing how the education system has failed boys. Without any spoilers, the protagonist has trouble in school and spaces...

TL;DR "meh..."

The movie was okay. Same 'ol worn out pro nature, noble savage, man/industrialization is evil, BS from Hollywood. It wasn't 100% stupid white men being shown up by women but a good portion of it. Sure enough, black dude is a scientist, every war America has fought was unjustified, and if we were just kind like the women, then the perfect harmony of nature would still be in tact. Yadda...

This one is a bit tricky:

❌  It was produced by J.J. Abrams.

✅  They didn't make Captain Kirk a black midget trans woman.

❌  It was directed by a Taiwanese-American and funded by a Chinese company.

✅  But in catering to a traditional Chinese audience they cut out a gay kiss.

❌  They added some cheesy "empowered" female characters showing men how it's done.

✅  They...

For those of you that are reading these reviews/rants chronologically, I'm beating a dead horse. My bad. It's just that, when taken at face value, the premise of this site goes against everything I stand for, so it'll take some time to get used to. But as I've stated in other reviews, the nitpicky nagging hags, (as seen in the pic above), have forced us pro free speech shruggers to play identity...

This one was much better than the last one as far as character depth and chemistry. Also they replaced that last chick with a funnier more personable actress. Which, apparently was due to pregnancy but could be due to other reasons kept secret for publicity's sake. Like asking for too much money, or not being a crowd favorite. Anyway, some feminist news site complained:

When I see that stuff I think...

Not much to say. You know what to expect when going into a cheesy family friendly movie like this.

I thought it was cute. Just an old fashioned feel good movie. No hidden agendas. The moral of the story was just to appreciate your family more and make them a priority over fake relationships and money. That's it.

The bad guy was even dark skinned. *gasp* And all the main characters were rich...

    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 didn't put any "Anti-God" points because only the very strictly religious would have a problem with the talk of the force. Star Wars has always shown spirituality and faith in a positive light. Although, on this one they make it seem like more of an Eastern religion than a Christian one, I guess. No big deal. Pretty sure George Lucas "culturally appropriated" ancient Kung Fu stuff when he came up...

This was the first movie that pushed me into making this site. I had been living abroad for a while and hadn't kept up with new movies and their trends. I remember hearing about the "Boycott Star Wars" hashtag and thinking it was silly. After all, who cares if there's a black guy or a woman in it?

But then when visiting home I saw it and was severely disappointed. I kept waiting for things...

The film in a nutshell:

Of all the super hero movies coming out lately, it was fairly creative and an interesting take. Great scenario, great cast, and it even got pretty good ratings from other conservatives. But as Sonny Bunch points out, X-Men is beating a dead horse with the cliché civil rights analogy. And for me, the Mexican immigration under overtones were too much too handle. Sure...

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...

The anti-god themes rating was only there for the most strict religious followers to be warned: reincarnation is a core theme of the movie. But it doesn't preach anything and feels very heartwarming throughout. The average setting is in a farm town with characters out of a Norman Rockwell painting. Perhaps all these reboots and period pieces represent a subconscious longing for the pre 1965 Immigration...

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...

•50% cliché scenarios you see in every action movie

•30% exposition, lazy plot devices, and bad acting

•20% hilarious cultural satire and racist stereotype jokes

•10% whacky sexual situations

Funny mindless entertainment and no insane agenda shoved in. Although, I did notice a trend among all three films. It was something I never noticed growing up, and may seem unimportant even...

This enjoyable Australian outback adventure stars Gareth Rickards as Buzz, a rugged “rover” hired by a group of eco-activist weenies to get them across a difficult, mountainous terrain and to the site of a new American mining venture where they plan to film a documentary on the project’s environmental impact – and the sense of urgency to their mission gets ratcheted up a notch when...

This is an okay Afrikaans-language thriller about a schoolteacher, Emma (Leandie du Randt), whose car breaks down in South Africa’s arid Karoo region on her way to her father’s home for a holiday visit. Compounding misfortunes, Emma is witness to a drug-related execution and must flee for her life through the desert whilst pursued by a gang of criminals. Unfortunately for the bad guys –...
