The Red Pill (2016)
9/10
Surprisingly excellent for a newbie director
4 August 2017
OK, so it was funded by Kickstarter funds and her mom, because no self- righteous production house would support this effort. In fact, if you go to Rotten Tomatoes, you'll find metacritics' review of 33%, but user reviews of 91%. Why the difference? Because this director is honest about the confusion concerning mens' rights and how they're being eroded by feminism. Further, she demonstrates how the feministic "cause" has gone from helpful to destructive, by destroying mens rights rather than supporting women, both in the courts and politically. Back the RT reviews: Critics can't honestly compliment the film because they'd be identified as supremacists or racists or some other utterly false label that the feministas have decided to lay on the MRA movement. As an example, the Feminist claim that MRA is identified as a hate group by the Souther Poverty Law group is an outright lie. But since critics don't want to be labeled themselves, well, users have to review.

Wow

Unbelievable. How can something this good go under the radar for so long. A brilliant "view from the other side" story from the cold war, more to the point than Le Carre. I'm just blown away by the quality of the acting, directing, production, and writing. Sure, much of it is subtitled, but the crafting of the tale is true to the times. The only glitch...no US officer would EVER leave classified documents in an unattended room. But honestly, that was the only major screw up in an otherwise well written story.

Sense8 (2015–2018)

An overproduced POS
6 June 2015
Like a major network serial, meant to 'grab' you into watching the next commercial. Too much music, too many obvious cliffhangers . . I feel like I'm watching a tutorial on how to make a 1970's detective show. This is the same path George Lucas went along . . . start off strong in your career, then sell out, then junk it all. I'd advise not wasting your time. The characters are largely one-dimensional to make it easy for the dim witted to understand, the music is so overblown that they may as well have flashing subtitles telling the unfortunate masses how they are to react to the scene in question. The writing had potential, but the overacting (not the fault of the actors . . .it's so pervasive that it is CLEARLY the directors causing this debacle) makes none of it credible. Suspension of disbelief is impossible, totally unwatchable for anyone who has already watched Barnaby Jones and Mannix.

Lucy (I) (2014)
1/10
Oh. My. God. Awful.
3 October 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Stupid. The antithesis of what the movie purports. The final line "Life was given to us . . . now you know what to do with it." Yeah. Don't waste your time on this spew. Remember Altered States and all the philosophical claptrap they put forth as plot and dialog? This is worse. First the premise that we only 10% of our brains is BS. We use it all. The 10% is nonsense that you can debunk on Snopes. Understand that the writers didn't even go there for their information and didn't even bother to read Wikipedia on this concept and you now know how weak this is. Steer clear, folks. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING to see here. Even the special effects are bad, low grade CG. Morgan, you've fallen a looong way since Shawshank.
