Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024)
Nothing to do with Mad Max...nothing.
Who asked for this movie? Who wanted it? Why did they include the words 'Mad Max' in the title, when the film has absolutely NOTHING to do with Max Rockatansky?
The film is an overly-bloated nothing burger at almost 2.5 hours long, and never really gets going until well after the 00:35 minute mark. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is the origin story of Furiosa, a character that was a sem-interesting in the last Mad Max film, Fury Road. Her tragic and violent childhood is well-told, to be sure. But the question you will keep asking yourself is this: Did I ever really care enough about Furiosa to sit here for two and a half hours?
The action sequences never stack up to Fury Road, and the film liberally uses CGI...way too much, in my opinion. The best thing about Furiosa is the role of Immortan Joe, who thankfully has plenty of screen time to keep you at least fairly interested in what happens in the next scene.
This movie predictably BOMBED at the box office. Why? Because nobody wants to see another movie with the name 'Mad Max' in it that doesn't actually star 'Mad' Max Rockatansky. If you want box office success, then give us another Max movie with Mel Gibson and give the character the proper respectful send off it deserves.
Paul McCartney Really Is Dead: The Last Testament of George Harrison (2010)
Those who deny Paul is dead really haven't stop obeying media.
I always find it funny(and a little disconcerting)that whenever a topic arises that veers your attention away from what the 'official and approved' narrative is, it's almost always met with fear disguised as ridicule. Most of the reviews on here are posted by people who either haven't spent one minute researching this topic, or are just too obliged to spend the rest of their lives in total obedience to the 'machine'.
Why would Ringo, George, and John spend so much time and energy writing music about the death of Paul, if Paul was indeed alive? Why the obvious album artwork? Why all the back-masking?? Why?
Why the Paul look-alike contest at the time? Why did they suddenly stop touring at precisely this time frame? Why did their sound obviously change(to any one who actually listens to the Beatles, it is obvious that their sound changed after Feb 1966....anybody who denies this doesn't know what he/she is talking about)?
When the first news of this broke in 1969, it wasn't by a bunch of 'college students' as one misinformed sheep states. It was by a respected member of the media...who decided to investigate when he become aware of all the 'clues'.
Sometimes the obedient just don't want to realize that what they think is true is actually a well-manicured lie.
That would require them to admit they don't think for themselves.
Why did George call Paul 'Faul' in numerous interviews after 1970? Why didn't 'Paul' attend the Beatles rock induction ceremony?
Wake up, folks. Think for yourselves. Do the research yourselves. Don't be afraid. Liberate yourself.
The Mist (2007)
Hollywood hates Christians.
This is less of a movie, and more of a personal, unhinged and vicious attack on Christians by Director Frank Darabont. Take the anti-Christian crusade out of the movie, and you have about 30 minutes of story. What was the propose of this film, other than to portray Christians as some sort of unhinged mob?
At the 3/4 mark, you will have long forgotten that this was advertised as a sci-fi/fantasy move, and you will be asking what happened to any semblance of a plot or even a script. Constant, unfettered and downright bizarre portrayal of Christianity by somebody who obviously has some very unhinged viewpoints of what religion is and who practices it.
Stander (2003)
Not much reality here...
The only thing really truthful about this movie is that Andre Stander was a cop who decided to rob banks. Most everything else is simply either blatantly untrue at worst, or whimsical fantasy at best. The movie wants to believe Stander's defense at his first trial, that we was negatively affected by the shootings of 176 unarmed people during the 1976 Soweto uprising in South Africa. However, if the makers of this film did even the most casual fact-checking, they would have learned that Andre Stander was not present in Thembisa where and when the shootings took place.
The manner and circumstances of Stander's death depicted in this film are also grossly inaccurate. The film depicts Stander attacking police in a brazen act of suicide...'death by cop', if you will. In reality, Stander was shot in the driveway of his apartment building after arriving on a bicycle after stealing his impounded Mustang earlier trying to evade capture.
It would be nice if filmmakers started utilizing truth and reality when they craft these movies.
Dai-Nihonjin (2007)
I get it...except the ending.
I get 'dry' humor, and this movie has it in droves. Really a nice idea, but maybe not executed properly. I understand the humor...I understand what this movie was going for. However, I do NOT understand the ending. I thought it was a very bad choice, considering the direction the movie went in for the previous 1 hour 40 minutes. Are we to infer the whole premise was simply a gigantic hallucination? Was Big Man Japan simply a guy starring in a kids Saturday morning show, ala Power Rangers style, and had started living his part in his mind? Sorry, the ending destroyed what was for me a mediocre-decent flick.
When You're Strange (2009)
Nothing new here
Not so much a history of the Doors(nothing not already revealed in dozens of other Doors docs), as it is some kind of art house fantasy biopic about Jim Morrison from somebody who actually believes the Hollywood image created of him. Morrison was a greedy alcoholic who destroyed his life young while also destroying a great band at the zenith of their popularity.
