Apparently I don't automatically log in anymore when I write a review, so I am making a duplicate, because I want this review to be under my name. My apologies. I have no knowledge of what the Daily Wire is or stands for, but I did expect something more refined and sensible from an outlet that calls itself "conservative", but I guess the claim that conservatives are just liberals 20 years behind ideological...

Fast paced action movie with fun storyline. Either you already like Jason Statham, or you will like him after you see this movie. "Crank," directed by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, is an adrenaline-fueled action film that delivers non-stop excitement from start to finish. Released in 2006, it stars Jason Statham as Chev Chelios, a hitman who must keep his adrenaline levels elevated to counteract...
This movie is from a time before wokeness. Unbelieveable that this is just 25 years ago or so, but here it is. "Snatch," another masterful creation from Guy Ritchie, is an exhilarating ride through the seedy underworld of London, marked by its clever plot twists, eccentric characters, and rapid-fire dialogue. Released in 2000, this film follows the intertwined lives of two groups of characters: one...
Great movie in the style of Snatch or Layer Cake. No surprise maybe, since directed by Guy Ritchie. Several scenes had me laugh out loud. The movie is a stylish and complex caper that marks a return to the British filmmaker's roots, intertwining snappy dialogue with a twisted plot. The film stars Matthew McConaughey as Mickey Pearson, an American expat who has built a highly profitable marijuana...
This was an ok movie - Carrie-Ann Moss and Samuel L. Jackson try to get the whereabouts of three nuclear bombs from an American turned terrorist. One uses torture, the other wants to use verbal negotiation. In the end, the movie falls flat, as there is nothing new we learn about the ethical dilemma of using unethical methods on one person to save several millions. If you are looking for a movie to...
The trailer I watched made this film appear bad and hokey, I honestly had very little expectation when I went into this film, but I was pleasantly surprised from the get-go and my expectations improved when I continued watching. Rubin and Ed is a character-driven comedy about two failures, who meet up, get lost in the desert, go through a metaphorical purgatory of the soul and exit as better individuals....
One of the advantages of the modern video-sharing platforms like YouTube, is that it opens up the possibility of a completely new kind of short documentary format that can focus on niche subjects that would never work on TV-channels. In this case it's animated and narrated explanations of (mostly ancient and medieval) battles, clearly explained and with the needed historical context. The amount of...
In an entertainment era where seemingly everything is being dumbed down and homogenized, the Planet of the Apes films have managed to hold on, retaining their focus on larger ideas about society, human...
3.9 Stars A well rounded and relatively concise film, that wraps up it's themes and subplots almost too neatly by the end the end of the film. There is a streak of dark humor throughout that is really well executed. The focus is very narrow, and left me with questions about the fictional history and circumstances of the setting. For example, The teenage generation speaks in a pigeon like dialect that...
I stumbled on this 52 episode series of lectures on the development of the Western world on the Internet Archive and I was immediately hooked. Now I haven't watched the episodes about modernity yet, so I cant say if these are ideologically flawed in some way, but they certainly do not show up in the 27 episodes I have watched so far. That said, what does this series deliver? A serious, academic but...
Great movie, which you will love if you liked the Matrix. It displays humanity as merely a playtoy for a reality that background forces rig, again and again and again. In many ways, it has the elements of the matrix, but without an anonymous computer entity behind it. Of course, this makes sense, since "Dark City" came out before the Matrix. It is more artistically done, and has less fighting scenes...
This was an unexpected nice little popcorn flick on my Netflix account. A David vs. Goliath storyline, a bit unfortunate maybe that it's a strong whamen leading the rebels against an evil patriarchal empire, and there are anti-nationalist bits here and there, but not too egregiously done. It's a long movie, and there is a second part already out, with 4 more parts planned (or so I hear). The villain...
The Fall Guy is for people who love movies but hate Hollywood. David Leitch’s new film is made of everything that used to make movies special: human characters we can see ourselves in, a sense of fun...
2.8 Stars I found Late Night With The Devil pretty forgettable. It felt like the film was dripping out of my awareness as soon as It ended. Both the humor and horror elements in the film just weren't solid, both of these seem like they got too little attention in comparison to the cultivated 70s style parody of Late Night Talk shows. Framing choices established at the beginning of the film leave things...
When George MacKay started playing as (basically) Elliot Rodger, the whole cinema started laughing (in a good way).Â

St. Elsewhere is a hospital drama with plenty of soapy and over the top story elements (a hospital rapist who stalks the hospital for two seasons !!) and plenty of quirky and memorable characters (Dr. Craig), which is still watchable today, but slowly every season this show become slightly more woke and you can see more and more boom mics. What became surprisingly noticeable is the anti-gentile subtext...
