I’m not the only one, read the reviews. Besides, taste is subjective and has nothing to do with intelligence.
Them (2021)
The horror is nonsensical and the history is ridiculous. It has its moments but it goes from kind of exciting to absolutely boring over and over and it blatantly rips off so many other stories/films/shows that it becomes a rollercoaster that you want a refund for to spend on the bumper cars. If you start it, you will probably want to finish it but will probably regret the whole experience afterward. And I think that whether black or white, this is offensive.

I’ve seen it, and I don’t believe her. I think she is a parasite living off his legacy. The story of both shows is very basic, so how how much writing did there have to be?
Shoplifters of the World (2021)
WARNING!! WATCH AT YOUR OWN PERIL!
This movie literally made me gag. As a huge Smiths/Morrissey fan I wanted to like this so much but hearing great lyrics regurgitated as vapid dialogue by terrible actors was intolerable, so much so I couldn’t finish watching. Bottom line, this is atrocious; fans will hate it and anyone else won’t get the terrible joke.
To put off anyone still considering watching this, the basic synopsis is a group of friends get really depressed about a band breaking up. WTF?! I don’t know about you but I have loved lots of great bands that have broken up and never shed a tear.

So you didn’t find it wickedly perverse, intensely moving, bracing blast of air ?
I wanted all of those adverbs and adjectives to wash over me and cleanse me of my obscenity but they never came. Instead I am left in a pit of despair hoping for rope of decent entertainment to pull me out.
Seriously, your username reminded me how much I love Escape From New York. Not L.A. I’m gonna watch that instead of this pretentious BS.

The story is just ludicrous, from what I can tell it all happens in less than a week. That said, the movie is fun and it gets its point across. Plus you have a young Diane Lane and Laura Dern playing punk rockers and the great Ray Winstone fronting the remaining Sex Pistols. I can’t believe I have never heard of this until now. “Join the professionals!”
Bulworth (1998)
5/5 Fantastic pro trump, pro US film, left will hate it. one of few examples that shows us how good trump is and why he is doing what he is doing, what american is and can be great again. This film was so ahead of times. This is a must see, it will change how you see america and politics.
Great film, funny, smart,takes awhile to really get started but wow worth the wait and watch.
You are a moron, how can a fictitious film from 20 years ago be pro Trump? I am very liberal and I love this movie, because I saw/see it as what it is; a satire and warning of things that might be possible. Warren Beatty, who also wrote and directed this, is a staunch democrat. Unfortunately, he lived to see his fears come to fruition. He is still alive at 82 and I’ll bet he can outwit you any day.

Do you mean Japan? Godzilla was created in 1954 and was a Japanese kaiju film and that was the first one. I’ve not seen any Chinese movies depicting Godzilla but hey, I might be wrong…….😁

Godzilla is actually (popular word) a French metal band formed in 1996 that traveled back in time to the 50’s and made some films to increase future album sales.

Not what you would expect at all; a punch in the gut that you didn’t know you wanted. In his only feature, writer/director John Maclean takes the best of Leone, the Coens, Tarantino, John Ford, Cassavetes, Eastwood, and others to create his own unique style. Do not take this film lightly, it will break and/or fill your heart if you have one all while making you reconsider what’s truly important.

(Referring to Black Box only) I started watching this as background noise but this was a surprisingly good movie.

no bruce shoped the script and the networks passed then reworked it and gave it to Carradine. look on yt his daughter talks about finding the script and working w writers to modernize it for today. its called warrior….
His daughter barely knew him, she believed the same stories we did. Little known fact, she briefly sang for a band called Medicine which is the American (almost) equivalent of My Bloody Valentine.
Whitmer Thomas: The Golden One (TV Special 2020) (2020)
Stand up has interesting stories but I found it all horribly unfunny. The songs are kind of amusing but they are obviously not performed live and sung with an English accent by a guy from Alabama. ?! I couldn’t sit through more than half, it annoyed me so.
I might finish and change my rating but probably not.

Sometimes I find a movie with a poster like this and I’m intrigued. Having no interest whatsoever in watching it, I turn to the IMDB and open the Parent’s Guide page where, among other, sex and nudity shots in the film are sometimes described.
Honestly I never expect to find anything interesting. Nor would I watch a movie solely based on how graphic the nudity is in it. But you know.
But today i found this description (direct quote from imdb.com/title/tt1704201/parentalguide):
|A woman removes her bra, exposing her large breasts. She remains topless throughout the movie.

Ha! Verified and hilarious, makes me want to write some parental advice. “A former NYC governor reaches down his trousers and appears to fondle himself. No nudity.”

Hooooly shit that’s an excellent band, I would’ve loved to have seen a show like that 😂
Evil Takes Root (2020)
Either I’m having de ja vu or this is a remake or at least a story that has been told before. I knew everything before it happened, even the character’s names. Am I insane or was this actually released a few years ago under another name? Probably insane…

I haven’t been able to watch it yet but I did find it and it’s PG-13 with no alternative ending listed in the features on the back. Maybe it doesn’t have a happy ending and I just remember it that way because I love it so. I’m gonna have to compare.

Everything you can expect from a sauna trap movie, without any unnecessary bells and whistles. Reminds us all to keep the sauna door free of clutter, and explains why the emergency stop button is usually found on the inside of the elevator. Prepare to be waiting for help in the excessive heat.

Forgotten classic. Gary Oldman, Sean Penn, Ed Harris, Robin Wright, etc. This is how Robin and Sean met and they’re such great actors that it makes you wonder how much of of the on screen romance was an act.

Millions of dollars to play a pirate on a crappy Disney ride? Yes you would and what’s wrong with that? Did you get your moniker from Fishbone? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tfwMj_j_O0 If so, cheers, great album. If not, salud.

Are any of these link to the other ending?
What other ending? I love this movie and own the DVD but I do not remember it having an alternate ending. I haven’t watched it in a long time but I remember it ending happily. I’m gonna have to dig out the DVD and check it out, sometime I ignore the special features.

I won’t give it a rating because I’ve only watched 3/4 of the first episode and I can bear no more. All I see is a crappy ripoff of Eastbound and Down. I kind of liked Rory up until now but this is shameful, it’s like he’s doing an impression of Danny McBride.

Micheal Richardson is the son of Liam Neeson & Natasha Richardson. Will put this movie on my list to watch. It will be interesting to see how well father and son work together in this movie.

The Boys (2019) S2 E3
The original was horrible, and this sounds like it’ll be worse. Appropriation of culture at it’s finest. Is it a coincidence that this is debuting now?
Quote from an article interviewing the ‘star’:
“It feels really empowering to get to reclaim [martial arts] and to say you know what, it’s not a stereotype. It’s something that we can be really proud of because it’s a huge part of [Asian] culture,” Liang says. That this is also the first American martial arts show to be written by an Asian woman and to focus on an Asian American family is not lost on Liang.
