Great movie. Definitely worth supporting. The gay thing didn’t bother me at all because that was a crucial factor in what became of Alan Turing’s life. I was just happily surprised that they didn’t do some Hollywood revisionist history and inject “diversity.”
Also, since it’s about fighting the nazis they can portray the white people as protagonists. Since, ya know, the antagonists...
The anti-god themes rating was only there for the most strict religious followers to be warned: reincarnation is a core theme of the movie. But it doesn't preach anything and feels very heartwarming throughout. The average setting is in a farm town with characters out of a Norman Rockwell painting. Perhaps all these reboots and period pieces represent a subconscious longing for the pre 1965 Immigration...
Want a good twist? M. Night Shammalammadingdong is back! I loved this movie. Keeps you on the edge of your seat and guessing throughout. And thanks to the amazing performance by James McAvoy, (reminiscent of Andy Serkis' award winning performance as Gollum), this movie actually has replay value, unlike the other M. Night films that lose their gusto once the surprise is spoiled. Of course, to enjoy...
Fantastic! Take your kids to see this one for sure. Absolutely gorgeous animation and a worthwhile reboot that brought something new to the experience while staying true to what made the original great. Very tough balance, but Favreau did it.
The only reason the Affirmative Action ratings have points is because after watching the movie, I watched the voice actors. A good chunk of the main characters...
The film in a nutshell:
Of all the super hero movies coming out lately, it was fairly creative and an interesting take. Great scenario, great cast, and it even got pretty good ratings from other conservatives. But as Sonny Bunch points out, X-Men is beating a dead horse with the cliché civil rights analogy. And for me, the Mexican immigration under overtones were too much too handle. Sure...
This was the first movie that pushed me into making this site. I had been living abroad for a while and hadn't kept up with new movies and their trends. I remember hearing about the "Boycott Star Wars" hashtag and thinking it was silly. After all, who cares if there's a black guy or a woman in it?
But then when visiting home I saw it and was severely disappointed. I kept waiting for things...
I didn't put any "Anti-God" points because only the very strictly religious would have a problem with the talk of the force. Star Wars has always shown spirituality and faith in a positive light. Although, on this one they make it seem like more of an Eastern religion than a Christian one, I guess. No big deal. Pretty sure George Lucas "culturally appropriated" ancient Kung Fu stuff when he came up...
It’s weird, they seemed to have cast their version of Gaston based on Robbie Rotten (pictured above), and a La Fou based on Jack Black. But couldn’t afford the original actors. All things considered, those 2 personas were fitting choices for the live action adaptation. And speaking of La Fou, all the hype about him being gay made my expectations of this film very low, but it really wasn’t...
Man… this had so much potential. Instead of making it an action packed blockbuster alien invasion movie, they decided to focus on character development and emphasize the POV. A very similar opening to “28 Days Later” or “Walking Dead.” Which amplifies the intensity more than any big budget explosion sequence ever could. You’re forced to wonder what it’d be like if that happened to...
It goes without saying, but if you are 100% convinced that he’s a traitor with no redeeming qualities, then you should skip this film. He is, afterall, the protagonist and things are dramatized to make him seem heroic. If you were on the fence, as I was, when I sat down to watch this film, then I highly suggest it. The movie does a great job of exploring this philosophical dilemma, while also...
I loved this film. Pay to see it. It's long and tough to watch though, so prepare yourself.
Even as an agnostic, I thought this film brought up some great philosophical questions, with no obvious pushed conclusion. It's left up to interpretation and felt more like a retelling of events than Christian propaganda. Obviously, it portrays faith in a positive light, so Christians...
I hated this garbage and almost stopped halfway through. I’m not sure if I can watch another Disney movie after this. Visually it’s amazing, but the agendas pushed make this unbearable to sit through. I swear, Disney is the absolute worst when it comes to liberal BS in Hollywood.
*Sigh* I’m sick of 4Chan being right…

You can google “Moana feminist” and look up results...
Not much to say. You know what to expect when going into a cheesy family friendly movie like this.
I thought it was cute. Just an old fashioned feel good movie. No hidden agendas. The moral of the story was just to appreciate your family more and make them a priority over fake relationships and money. That's it.
The bad guy was even dark skinned. *gasp* And all the main characters were rich...
Just a typical blockbuster action movie. Nothing to really delve into analytically.
There was a tiny bit of women being bossy and physically superior to men without superpowers but nothing heavy. Of course they had to make the police chief black among others. But not crazy J.J. Abrams affirmative action. It’s just, they portray white rich men as one dimensional boogey men, exploiting the poor...
This one was much better than the last one as far as character depth and chemistry. Also they replaced that last chick with a funnier more personable actress. Which, apparently was due to pregnancy but could be due to other reasons kept secret for publicity's sake. Like asking for too much money, or not being a crowd favorite. Anyway, some feminist news site complained:
When I see that stuff I think...
For those of you that are reading these reviews/rants chronologically, I'm beating a dead horse. My bad. It's just that, when taken at face value, the premise of this site goes against everything I stand for, so it'll take some time to get used to. But as I've stated in other reviews, the nitpicky nagging hags, (as seen in the pic above), have forced us pro free speech shruggers to play identity...
This one is a bit tricky:
❌ It was produced by J.J. Abrams.
✅ They didn't make Captain Kirk a black midget trans woman.
❌ It was directed by a Taiwanese-American and funded by a Chinese company.
✅ But in catering to a traditional Chinese audience they cut out a gay kiss.
❌ They added some cheesy "empowered" female characters showing men how it's done.
✅ They...
This felt like a movie that Hollywood made specifically for the Red States. Lots of pandering. So, I say support it even if it was low budget and cheesy at parts. It’s a great film to watch with the family; they portray a family unit in a traditional, but realistic way. There’s also some symbolism about getting out of your comfort zone to become a man. Good morals like “no guts, no glory.”...
Yup. “Based On a True Story” movies are the way to go. Best way to ensure minimal Hollywood BS. (Keyword: minimal.)
This movie addresses some tough topics but I think all ages can see it. Any negative components can be portrayed as a PSA against drug use. And since this was based on the book by a real recovered homeless drug attic, it’s realistic! No crap about how everyone on the street...
TL;DR "meh..."
The movie was okay. Same 'ol worn out pro nature, noble savage, man/industrialization is evil, BS from Hollywood. It wasn't 100% stupid white men being shown up by women but a good portion of it. Sure enough, black dude is a scientist, every war America has fought was unjustified, and if we were just kind like the women, then the perfect harmony of nature would still be in tact. Yadda...
