Released in 1962, The Manchurian Candidate perfectly captured the Cold War climate of its time. In an era characterized by confusion and paranoia, countless people in politics and entertainment were suspected...
How else can I describe this game than as pure classic? It was one of the first games I played on my Amiga 500 in 1991. There is a lot of humor in there that I didn’t quite get, but I understand it a bit better now. The tabloid stuff, the aliens that want to warp Earthlings’ minds, the faces on Mars... all quite prescient. Which is not to say that aliens are here, but the media does feel like brainwashing...
(The Krynn Series) This is an AD&D roleplaying game series, based on the Dragonlance universe, originally made by SSI/Wizards of the Coast, between 1990 and 1992. Back in the day! (I only had the option to choose Dark Queen of Krynn as a game, but this review is true for all three games in the title. They are from the same series, and you can take your characters from Champions of Krynn and import...
It is truly astounding how the Mission Impossible franchise comes up with one great movie after another. I actually thought I had watched the latest movie from that series, then I realized it was “Mission Impossible: Fallout”. Where was the famous motorcycle scene in that movie? Not in there, but in Dead Reckoning! What a joy. So I watched it. And was blown away. Tom Cruise reprises his role as...
"Everything Everywhere All at Once," is an interesting movie that has no comparable other movie; it stands on its own. This film blends sci-fi, fantasy, action, and drama, creating a unique viewing experience that is both exhilarating and exhausting. The story centers around Evelyn Wang (Michelle Yeoh), a struggling laundromat owner who finds herself thrust into a multiverse adventure. As she navigates...
I recommend this to those interested in a documentary made by the Nazis about "The jewish world order". I found many similarities to today's situation. They show statistics that were true then and today about jewish over-representation in positions of power and in the media. The period before the Nazis, called the Weimer Republic, was characterized by degeneracy similar to what we see in today's society...
This is an attempt to attack Christianity, something I don't appreciate since it is our European/American culture. The movie includes black characters in the background wherever it can, they include black children. The worst part of all is that they have a black character play God in this movie, he doesn't appear in that many scenes thankfully, this is though a sad foreshadowing of our race's fall...
3.4 Stars The Driver is a solid, procedural crime thriller. As you can probably guess, most of the highlights in the film happen in car chase sequences and stunts. The acting and plot that surrounds these is very supportive, but also a bit tedious at times. All the characters appear on screen with airs of mystery to add flavor to their functional roles in this cops and robbers game
This is an entertaining polish action comedy movie about a regular guy who gets accused of being a hitman because of his name being Kiler. The way he then assumes his new identity is interesting to watch as he interacts with prisoners, gangsters and reporters. The acting was great and convincing. The action/shooting scenes however aren't the strong suit of this movie. Also there is no woke stuff in...
This is a Romance-Drama made in Romania during the communist regime. It is surprisingly good, the acting is on point. The story is about high school students and takes place in the capital city of Bucharest. The aim of the movie is to show how the students deal with their schoolwork, social interaction and romantic interests. What I found interesting is how all the students wear uniforms and that...
3.7 Stars The strongest aspect of Summer Rendering is its building and retaining of suspence. I found myself wanting to see what happened next after most of the cliffhanger episodes, even when the supernatural elements started to become stale and demystified half way through the show. I can't say I find the lore and conclusion of the show very satisfying or intersting after everything is laid out...
2.0 Stars Over done jumpcut Martial arts and gunplay action stuffed inside a bland totalitarian government rebellion plot. Oddly enough, Boy Meets World isn't really woke. Even the main conflict of trying to topple an oppressive martial law militarized government kind of falls apart by the end when you compare said government to there public enemy number 1. The main problem is that all the comedic...
3.8 Stars A film with an effective and iconic beginning. I think I've seen the speech Alec Baldwin's character gives in the intro at least 3 times, but I may have only ever watched the film all the way through once. The speech scene sets up a conflict that draws the audience in fast. You could probably summarize the plot of Glengarry Glen Ross very quickly for someone who hasn't seen it, not much...
3.2 Stars Everything about Back To the future is played up, overdone, or over emphasized. That's one of its aspects that gives it a wide appeal which has allowed it to stay around so long even in today's cultural atmosphere. For every character, you basically just have to see a minute of them on screen, before you know everything about how they'll act for the rest of the film. Its too much in a lot...
2.9 Stars I watched roughly 3/4 of the film and don't have any desire to finish it. I figured that Being John Malkovich has to be a favorite film of someone out there, it's had a pretty high rating on imdb for years, but I've never met anyone who said they liked it or even saw it. It started off in a way I didn't expect and was actually a bit humorous, but the plot quickly stuck it's self into a pointless...
This is classified as a comedy but there are only about 3 funny moments in it, I would say this is more of a drama-romance. There are christian ideas presented and ethical questions raised about one's actions and eternal fate. The romance between the couple and the affairs with their family are quite intriguing to watch. The acting is quite well done and convincing. This is an interesting American...
This is a very good action movie from the 70s. The main character, who is a hitman, demonstrates a lot of intelligence in his assassinations and a lot of skill in weapon use. He is a tough stoic guy who has to teach an apprentice lessons. The action takes place in San Francisco and Italy. Definitely recommend you give it a try. Zero diversity, zero woke.
2.8 Stars A plot with just enough tension to keep you somewhat invested even when twists get too close together and predictable. Nothing about the film really stands out or is too bad. It was very basic and felt like it would have been better as a 30-45 minute short film
3.1 Stars A 12 episode anime with no main overaching conflict or struggle and lots of joke recycling. Some of the reoccurring gags retain some replay value for a time, but by the 8th episode I was thinking of calling it quits cause I felt I has gotten the gist of the show, which focuses on a diving club, even though the time they spend diving makes up a small portion of the syory. They mainly drink,...
3.2 Stars A pretty vanilla inspirational sports film with cautionary elements mixed in. Some of the cringe, overdone dialog and awkward moments actually feel appropriate since the majority of characters are in highschool. Theres a nice, very 80s, soundtrack accompaniment, that reuses the same songs on very predictable cues multiple times throughout the film. I vaguely remembered watching this...
