George W. Bush: The 9/11 Interview (2011)
Vigile 7 points 6 months ago.

No one in the media will ever be allowed to ask this dimwit the hard questions; nor would he give a straight answer if they ever did, so what’s the point of such an interview?

Those who aren’t yet tired of the spin, give it a go. You won’t learn anything new, but it will keep the hamster wheel turning for you.

HMP Belmarsh: Evil Behind Bars (2024)
Vigile 5 points 3 months ago.

What’s evil is keeping Julian Assange there without due process or charge of any kind for years now.

Muhammad Ali (2021)
Vigile 4 points 2 years ago.

I don’t believe Ken Burns can do justice to the man who stood his ground and did time rather than go kill people who never harmed him. Burns is the one who gave us the establishment look at Vietnam, while Ali bucked the establishment.

Oliver Stone's Untold History of the United States (2012)
Vigile 4 points 3 years ago.

This should be required viewing for every high school student in the country.

Coming 2 America (2021)
Vigile 6 points 3 years ago*.

Brought to you by the makers of Dumb and Dumber Too and Bill and Ted Face the Music, some guy not named John Landis, gives you a mental ma**erbatory walk down memory lane that leaves viewers asking: Why? Just why?

The Cleaning Lady (2022)
Vigile 5 points 2 years ago.

I like the idea, but the writing is just dumb. All major network television seems to target the lowest common denominator since Seinfeld went off the air.

Big Timber (2020)
Vigile 3 points 2 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

Disgusting series. These people should be in jail for environmental terrorism, not have their own show. What’s wrong with the world?

Tyler Perry's The Haves and the Have Nots (2013)
Julianna 1 points 3 years ago.

Is there anyone out there who can tell me about this series? I really enjoy Tyler Perry’s creations but have never seen this one. Thanks in advance

Vigile 3 points 3 years ago.

It has really terrible acting and the writers force the actors to repeat the same lines over and over again. But the stories are fun, wild and compelling and sucked me in even though I generally hate soap operas and low-brow entertainment.

IOW, it’s a guilty pleasure and a lot of fun. Give it a try.

I Want You Back (2022)
Geogenesis 3 points 2 years ago.

I’m a simple man. I see Charlie Day’s name in the cast and I’ll watch it.

Vigile 3 points 2 years ago.

I’m probably a bit more complicated, but yeah.

Irma la Douce (1963)
Vigile 4 points 2 months ago.

Severely underrated at 7.4. This film is a lot of fun and one of the treasures that Billy Wilder gave us all.

The Brink (2015)
Vigile 4 points 4 years ago.

This was a very smart, entertaining and funny series. It shouldn’t have been cancelled. Do yourself a favor and watch it.

Pam & Tommy (2022)
Vigile 4 points 2 years ago.

Too bad they portray Pam as such a dingbat. She is actually highly intelligent.

1883 (2021)
Vigile 4 points 2 years ago.

This is going to kick #$%

Hacks (2021)
Vigile 3 points 2 years ago*.

Watched the first episode. It’s my new favorite. What a great show! And it has Sweet Dee to boot.

I always loved Designing Women. Jean may have finally topped that.

Al Murray: Why Do the Brits Win Every War? (2021)
Vigile 3 points 2 years ago.

Glory days. Imagine if Germany talked about the 1940s as its glory days. Britain killed more people in places like Africa and India than the Germans did during the war.

The Putin Interviews (2017)
Dante89 0 points 3 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

Definitely worth a watch. Before going into this documentary I heard a lot of people complained because Oliver Stone was ‘’Too nice’’. Which I don’t get. He seems to be polite enough to wanting to have a dialogue with President Putin. And he seems to have a great way of asking his questions. Even though the answers are yeah, expected. But then again I think it is really something that we haven’t seen before even though these interviews are what to expect from a politician. Nevertheless very interesting and exciting for anyone who is a fan of politics, history and other cultures.

Vigile 3 points 3 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

I live in Russia and Putin regularly answers questions in an open public forum. He will sometimes stand for hours responding to the questions of regular citizens with no limit on subject. What is profound in this is he answers without canned responses and is a master of facts and statistics. It’s quite refreshing to watch after spending a lifetime watching western pols answer questions with non answers while grabbing for sound bytes.

A.P. Bio (2018)
Vigile 3 points 3 years ago.

I will never understand on visceral level how this show survived while the vastly superior “The Mick” was cancelled.

The Putin Interviews (2017)
Twonk -2 points 3 years ago.

but he’s the opposite of honest, Russians have an art for lying, they see no shame in misdirection, western politicians divert the conversation when faced with an uncomfortable answer so they dont have to lie, so talking utter nonsense for hours to the public doesn’t phase him much

Vigile 3 points 3 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

Racist much? Replace the word Russians with Jews and see how well that flies.

Please Turn Over (1959)
Vigile 3 points 1 month ago.

This is a real hidden gem. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The lead actress is easy on the eyes too.

Dream with the Fishes (1997)
Vigile 2 points 7 months ago.

Beautiful film. It’s a hidden gem that most people have probably never heard of.

Youth in Revolt (2010)
Vigile 2 points 2 years ago.

How is this only rated at a 6.5? I’d give it a 9. One of my favorite films.

Miracle Workers (2019)
Vigile 2 points 2 years ago.

It grows on you.

The Legend of 1900 (1998)
Vigile 2 points 3 years ago.

There hasn’t been a film of this caliber made in easily over 10 years. This is a sleeper that I think most have never heard of, but it’s one of the films everyone should see once in their lives.

The piano/storm scene is out of this world.

The Long Shadow (2023)
Vigile 2 points 6 months ago.

Well made series and interesting to watch. But my god were those cops morons.

Big Timber (2020)
sobitthen 2 points 2 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

There is nothing wrong with cutting down trees if they are replanted.
I have done both, logged for few years, planted a few seasons, 1 area I planted has been harvested twice since I was a kid and is ready for a 3rd harvest. Better than building with imported product or plastics…

Vigile 2 points 2 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

Have you ever cut down a 1000yo tree and built a toolshed with it? Because that’s what these guys are doing.

Valley Girl (2020)
Vigile 2 points 4 years ago*.

It’s like they took Valley Girl and let Debby Gibson and Pat Boone rewrite it.

Awful. Watch the original. It’s 10,000% better.

Teenage Bounty Hunters (2020)
Vigile 2 points 3 years ago.

Don’t be fooled that this is just a silly teen comedy. It’s one of the best written shows in literally years. There is no target demographic for this. Anyone should be able to appreciate the brilliance that they’ve accomplished with this series.

The Princess and the Warrior (2000)
Vigile 2 points 2 years ago.

Watch this. Same director as Run, Lola, Run. Beautiful film.

Bill & Ted Face the Music (2020)
ibgabe 8 points 3 years ago.

Are you really complaining that a Bill & Ted movie is immature? What did you expect?

Vigile 2 points 3 years ago*.

The original was entertaining and silly in a fun way. This was thrown together and was simply inane in a lazy and simple-minded way. It’s amazing to me anyone liked it. Audience expectations have eroded severely from 30 years ago.

What's Up, Doc? (1972)
Vigile 2 points 8 months ago.

One of the funniest films ever made. Watch it.

Fatman (2020)
tapwater 6 points 3 years ago*.

What a waste of a great premise. This movie takes itself way too seriously so all of the cheesy fun you might expect is non-existent. It’s just a very mediocre action flick. ‘Santa’ is a boring grumpy guy that keeps being referred to as fat despite the fact that he’s not. He gets shot at and he shoots back, that’s all you get. I was extremely disappointed as I was sure I would have at least a few laughs.

Vigile 2 points 3 years ago.

Absolutely agree. It could have been so much fun, but it was poorly executed and just dragged viewers through a slow wait for entertainment that never quite arrives.

Bill & Ted Face the Music (2020)
Vigile 2 points 3 years ago.

I’m going to play party pooper here. Awful. It was painful watching Reeves, now an old man, behaving like a dumb teen and the plot was just a disjointed mash of the first two, slapped together with duct tape and literally no thought.

I’m more convinced than ever that Hollywood can’t entertain anymore.

The Irishman (2019)
Vigile 2 points 4 years ago.

It’s Scorcese and all the mafia film greats. What’s not to love? But it’s weird as hell that 76 yo De Nero is playing a younger version of himself. Why didn’t they just go the Godfather II route and give some up and coming actors a shot. That way the film doesn’t border on comedy too. Win win.

House of Gucci (2021)
Vigile 2 points 2 years ago.

The first half was incredibly engaging and really deserved 8/10. The writing/story began to lag a bit in the second half. It’s overall still a good watch and it’s a shame they didn’t do a bit more editing and add more drama in the latter part of the film as it had potential of being a really great film.

A Gentleman in Moscow (2024)
Vigile 2 points 20 days ago.

I love Mac, but there is just no way Hollywood or the UK can depict events in Russia without dunking it in pure propaganda and sheer nonsense. Watch it for entertainment, but don’t imagine that it is anywhere close to real history.

The Cleaning Lady (2022)
Sal 1 points 2 years ago.

This show does not make much sense. The US has a severe shortage in medical employees, she could easily get a position anywhere despite being illegal.

Vigile 2 points 2 years ago.

It also has the most expensive, and one of the least efficient medical systems. Who would come to the US for HC unless they flew in on a Lear Jet and could buy the best of the best?

Borat Subsequent Moviefilm (2020)
Vigile -1 points 3 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

So bad. SJWs think their humor is much funnier than it actually is. They’re ruining comedy with their take over of the industry.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (2005)
Vigile 1 points 4 years ago.

I love this series, but season 14 was a real stinker. Maybe they’ve run out of ideas.

Borat Subsequent Moviefilm (2020)
somniloquist 2 points 3 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

Larry the Cable Guy is still working. Go watch some Jeff Dunham. You’ll be fine.

Vigile 0 points 3 years ago.

It’s interesting how you guys all assume that those who aren’t in your camp are in the red neck Trump camp. I won’t be voting for either of these numbskulls. But seriously, you guys have really no humor and have ruined comedy with your insistence on making everything political and PC.

Chasing Amy (1997)
Vigile 1 points 4 years ago.

For a long while this was my favorite film. Smith’s best. Every red-blooded young man would fall for Amy at some point in their lives.

Come and See (1985)
Vigile 1 points 4 years ago.

Thanks uploader! I’ve been itchy to watch this since I learned of its existence. It’s supposed to be one of the best war films of all time.

The Century of the Self (2002)
Vigile 1 points 4 years ago.

If you haven’t seen this, do yourself a favor. Everyone needs to know this information. It’s probably one of the most, if not the most important documentaries of our time.

Free Guy (2021)
Vigile 1 points 2 years ago.

An average movie measured against the 80s and 90s when movies were still fun. But in today’s environment where entertainment has taken a back seat, it is a stand out. Hopefully the trend starts again from here and movies start to become interesting again.

Слуга народа (2015)
drmlgcc 3 points 2 years ago.

ok Oligarch :p

Vigile 1 points 2 years ago.

no, i’m not his puppet master, that would be Igor Kolomoisky.

A Dirty Shame (2004)
Vigile 1 points 4 years ago*.

Pure John Waters and much better executed than his earlier works.

Deserves much higher than 5. It probably got downvoted by prudes.

The White Helmets (2016)
Vigile 0 points 4 years ago.

Fake war propaganda. These are terrorists.

Joker (2019)
Vigile -1 points 4 years ago.

This did not deserve 9 stars. It’s probably been so long since Hollywood churned out a 9 star film, folks have forgotten when they are like. 6.5 on a good day.

The Defenders (1961)
Vigile 1 points 3 years ago.

Thanks uploader. I’ve never seen this before, but watched the first ep. It was well-written, acted and entertaining.

It’s also quite an education on the differences a couple of generations can make. If the PC police ever get wind of this series, whoa Nelly!

Putin, Russia and the West (2012)
Vigile 1 points 3 years ago.

Watching BBC in an attempt to learn anything meaningful about Russia and Putin will simply leave the viewer less informed than they were before they watched.

Hoffman (1970)
Vigile 1 points 2 months ago.

This film is a sleeper. It’s surprising it’s not better know. Super unique, quite creepy, and well written. Sellers was a master.
