A good film overall, perfectly watchable, but it's essentially an Uncle Tom's Cabin of the 30's, what do I mean by this? This film was created as a propaganda flick to critique the use of chain-gangs in Georgia, the problem apparently is that most of the cruelty you see in this film was exaggerated, the man this film was based on, apparently never received a whipping or whore chains, he was also...

This sci-fi movie is not for a family audience (unless they're all mature adults) so this not getting much attention as other animated movies shouldn't be surprising (aside from the language barrier). It's worthwhile, however, as seeing how AI, robots, and humans interact goes deeper than just "man is worse than robot" or "tech bad." Lots of great animated shots done, too, and the characters involved...

Dito Montiel’s “Riff Raff” is one of the most off-putting films I can remember, the kind of bad movie that isn’t so-bad-its-good but genuinely hard to endure.

I don't even want to say too much about the movie because really any little detail will give it away. This movie really kept me at the edge of my seat the majority of the time and really didn't know what to expect. Super good and super intense. My favorite aspect is you have no clue which direction the movie is going to take. I definitely recommend this movie
I played through this game and was actually enjoying it up until the fourth palace or so. It had a great anti-pedo message in the first palace by the fourth something became clear to me which had totally made the rest of my experience miserable. From the fourth palace onward it is ENTIRELY clear that every one of the 10 main cast members are bisexuals. They never completely state this in the game but...

Firstly, I must say that Lisa Kudrow can save nearly anything, this is an exception to that rule. When she writes, you KNOW you are in for a hilarious, yet poignant and deep work, without standard Hollywood messaging. Sadly, this was written by Liz Feldmen. And "Checking Boxes" begins with the script. The first episode's twist, spoiler [/spoiler Lisa Kudrow and Ray Romano's son died, which is why...
