Passengers (2016)
Wanting more.
Excellent movie, I was very surprised. There's even an ode to The Fifth Element if you can catch it. Hint; instructor describing the ship. I actually wanted more from the movie, a longer movie perhaps? That is always a good sign. Very interested to know the rest of the story. A sequel or even prequel is not plausible as the 'critics' gave a bad review of this film... pay no attention to them. Guys, if you want to shock your girlfriend who is thinking it's guys night pick, go see this movie. I'm not into romance movies at all but this one pulled it off flawlessly. It's now one of my all time favorites. A once a year movie.
People of Earth (2016)
Canceled???
I couldn't understand why this show would be canceled. So I rewatched it... I figured it out.
In episode two, (that would be 2017, Trumps second year in office) the show gets slightly political. A mention of Nancy Pelosi as an alien was strike 1. In season 2 ep7, the FBI was mentioned as being compromised and no longer an honest agency the American People thought it was, that was strike 2.
There are only two strikes, I'm sorry, this isn't baseball, it's cancel culture. People Of Earth is now one of the very first shows to succumb to a one, unified narrative that opposition thought can not be allowed to exist. In the arena of ideas, only one side is now allowed. There is no other locigal solution, this was a great show. Those two minor transgressions got it shut down. Watch it again and see if you don't agree with me?
I'd be surprised if this review is even allowed to be posted.
MK Ultra (2022)
Social warfare
Ultra is a true story, CIA study of programming a person.
As bad as that sounds, Hollywood is worse.
They continue their 'social programming' to this day. This movie has *very* little to do with Ultra and a whole lot to do with cultural acceptance and ending the debate of further scientific explanations into what could just be a confused individual. Slight nudity, some violence, failure and then salvation by the wise one, sublime revelation, typical politically motivated movie. You don't have to look too closely to see what this movie is truly about... but if you are unaware, you just may be programmed already and there is no need to try and understand this review.
Battleship (2012)
I liked it!
I knew it wasn't a serious movie going in. I liked Taylor Kitsch in John Carter Princess of Mars (great movie, bad advertising) so I watched Battleship. Entertaining, fun corny movie. Rihanna was actually good, beast was great. The old vets were really vets! This is a whole hell of a lot better than say, Pacific Rim.
So just chill, don't analyze the movie for flaws, just enjoy it for what it is. A lot of effort actually went into this movie, the ships, the actual navy and marines in the movie, not just paid hollywood actors. Even the Japanese ship was a real Japanese naval destroyer. USS Ronald Reagan was the actual ship. This is a real deal movie.
The Endless (2017)
Guillermo
Camp Arcadia? I mean come on! It took me a second to put 2 and 2 together but Guillermo del Toro is contributing to this movie. He made Troll Hunters among many other projects and everything he touches is golden imo. I was thinking The Endless was some crappy B movie on crappy film but why was it such a great movie? Then I figured it out. I believe the movie has all the answers within it, I intend to watch it several more times to get those answers.
12 Monkeys (1995)
Shallow
This could have been a great movie. I wanted it to be. It's intentionally muddied and overcomplicated, I believe to try and add depth... and certainly unnecessary minutes.
Besides the reputation and European-like antiquated props/ sets, the actors were very annoying, especially Pitt. Too bad, so much potential for a high brow sci fi here.
Obi-Wan Kenobi (2022)
I wanted to like it...
Disney can't seem to get it right.
Horrible writing and all the good acting in the world can't save it. I had to stop watching after the 3rd episode, you'll see why.
Nope (2022)
Pure madness
I fell asleep three nights in a row, so I may actually buy it as a sleep aid. Found myself wanting the movie to be over and even fast forwarding the really long drawn out scenes.
Awful movie in my opinion.
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (2021)
Damn bankers
I hope he gets his loan. Saving the universe won't help you with lenders I guess. MCU has gone to daytime soap opera it appears. Smh.
Did the producers forget their target audience?
Bad President: Oil Spill (2020)
Now relevant.
Without getting too political, in light of our last two administrations, (one overly forceful, the other incompetent) I think a lot of people would watch a show like this. I know I enjoyed it.
