3.6 Stars Dead Man's Chest is an improvement on The Curse of The Black Pearl, it has the same fun thrills and light spooks, but doesn't need to use runtime for exposition. The humor is is sharper, the long gimmick action sequences are more captivating and the musical score has more variety. The film does, like the first instalment, waste a bit of time with trying to make an unnecessary morality arc...
TL;DR I wanted to dislike this movie, but I was impressed. 3.5/5 stars if you've seen the trailer, 4/5 if you haven't. (As is usual with Hollywood these days, all the best scenes are in the promotion, even ones from the third act. So do yourself a favor and skip it on your way to the theaters.)

3.5 Stars A amusement park ride of a film with intentional over acting, mid CGI effects and solid Special effects. The characters are all pretty silly, the plot is stitched together ideas of scenes that would look cool and gags for slapstick humor. The first 30 minutes of the film are pretty slow, I think too much time was spent introducing and settings up character arcs for Orlando Bloom and Keira...
A very funny classic. You should see it
There is something here for everyone. From all across the spectrum of action game players. They developers clearly prioritized fun over anything else. From giving players a ton of voice lines to play at any moment, to the many weapons and classes, to the grabbable/throwable items thrown around everywhere. You can Launch yourself from catapults, set chickens on fire to hit people with, I can just keep...
Very fun open world RTS. The sense of exploration and discovery is truly remarkable. Can be a bit of a drag traveling and recovering, but it only makes the next encounter that much more interesting. The dealbreaker is the HORRIBLE writing of the world. Filled with anti-religious, anti-racist and feminist propaganda. Example: There is a group of badass ninja women that live in a commune working...
2.9 Stars If you have seen one Wes Anderson film you've seen em all. The Actors are all toys playing generic descriptions of people who have the same personality, just different physical traits and superficial pasts. Watching Astroid City, it was rare to feel like any of the scenes had any emotional content or significance. It was probably one of the most unsatisfying films I've ever seen
4.1 Stars One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest is probably one of the best cautionary tale films out there. I think its biggest strengths are how real the interpersonal interactions between characters feel and it's exploration of unpredictable consequences as the main characters actions giving him unexpected negative and positive feedback in his unfamiliar and restrictive environment. Even though I would...
3.8 Stars It seems like almost every reactionary poster has a positive take on Taxi Driver, mentioning it's themes of social alienation, the emptiness of city living and modern employment. I can't deny that there are some inspired and iconic scenes in Taxi Driver, but for me the film feels incomplete. Watching The film, certain parts felt disjointed, repetitive and unrealistic. Hearing the same jazzy...
3.2 Stars I gave this short series a look after I heard it was influenced/made reference to Neon Genesis. Only after I finished the 6 episodes did I see that references were just simple stylistic choices, the show also mimics South Park's iconic art style briefly. The main thing about that disappointed me FLCL was the humor, the jokes are all along the lines of shallow parody and references to real...
I have a soft spot for Louie. I'm well aware of all the King Cuck memes and his recent subversive instincts coming out on Joe Rogan. His style is very derivative of Woody Allen and the NY awkward loser cliche. But I still love his work and his sense of humor. Even his weird experimentation with drama like "Horace & Pete." (Although I never finished that series.)
 His earlier HBO series...
There are cool fighting scenes, guns, ships. Modern day pirate anime depicts a crew on the eastern seas with a new japanese office worker kidnapped that who becomes a sailor. There are historical and neo-nazis in this film, quite cool to see them represented. The dialogue has no consideration for political corectness, highly recommend watching it with english voice actors. There are however a few feminist...
This was a very good comedy, no propaganda, no vices or nudity, just some solid fun for an hour
One of the music genre's I have always had a soft spot for is Italodisco, it's in my opinion one of the most solid genre's of pop music, so when I watched this film I had my hopes up, but it's very much a stinker.
Primarily because of the main actor, a negro, now when I first started watching this film I though, well that black guy is clearly really gay and he gets his ass whooped, but then he dates...
It started out so good. And like all tv shows made in recent years, goes to complete sh*t and all your favorite characters get cucked & subverted. Way too much girlboss crap. A psychic girl can be a badass heroine, no problem. Very loveable and cute relationship with Hopper. But this little red head girl has no personality besides being an obnoxious c**t. Then they make some racism side plot in...
Normally I don't even watch trailers because they ruin too much of the film by showing all the best parts or too many scenes from the third act. But the trailer is essential because you'll immediately know if this film is up your alley or not.
 I didn't research it at all until after the film was over. But I recognized the art style from "Space Dandy" and "Ping Pong" and "DevilMan: Crybaby."...
3.8 Stars No country for old men is a long bleak & quiet film with one extremely iconic scene, a pretty decent plot, great actors, and an abrupt unceremonious ending that you will either be indifferent about or hate.
I really enjoyed the first half of the film, but the framing and plot choices in the second half left me a bit underwhelmed and disappointed
Tired of clichés in horror movies and especially with the grief motif in horror. Plus, there were a lot of times where you wanted to scream at the screen because of the unrealistic actions of all the characters. But on the positive side of things, it wasn't woke at all, minimal diversity, and nowadays thanks to the internet, finding talented child actors is easy. Still, wouldn't recommend it unless...
3.7 Stars A Retro FPS in the Warhammer 40,000 style that is pretty fun, but basic and repetitive. There are 3 chapter in which the player's weaponry of the same 12 guns resets after every level, to be picked up again in a different order in the next. The same 3 bosses appear at least twice throughout the game and there is not a unique final boss. There are some platforming aspects to areas that...
3.8 Stars I've tried to watch Gallipoli a number of times before finishing the film this time around. Gallipoli is pretty slow, especially the exposition, which I think takes a bit too long to establish emotional connection between the audience and the two focus protagonists played by Mark Lee and Mel Gibson. After the characters meet and develop a friendship however, the film got a better grip of...
