Prisoners of the Ghostland (2021)
i have no words
Literally the most worstless piece of celluloid garbage ever made... nick cage would star in a remake of cats cast with dogs if it made him a dollar... this movie has to be seen to be believed... the script is rice paper thin... nothing... and i mean nothing makes any sense at all... it tries to be surreal... fails miserably... it jumps around from ridiculous... meaningless scene to meaningless scene that have little to do with the "story" and i use that word hesitantly... the director has a fellini complex...
everything... from dialogue to set design to direction is horrible... cages' attempts at being an invincible kung fu action fighter are laughable... the fight scenes are unintentionally in slow motion... he looks like an arthritic geriatric trying to throw hip throws
i gave it a three because any opportunity to see sophia boutella is a plus.... every single one of those three points was for her and her alone...
it would seem that cage and bruce willis are in a contest to see who can star in the most worthless piece of crap movie... or who can make the MOST crappy movies... in the first category cage has won...
and i thought mike tyson's "china salesman" was bad...
Long Story Short (2021)
pretty tired of it...
The entertainment industry likes to think of itself as liberated and enlightened... especially on racial matters... so they throw at us a glut of interracial relationships in romcoms... but... thing is... the relationships are almost always white male/black female... hardly ever black male/white female... and we're pretty tired of it... on top of that... every time one of our lovely black actresses reaches a certain level of fame... she then will inevitably be paired with a white leading man love interest... and we're tired of it... entertainment industry... perhaps you're not quite as enlightened as you think...
The United States vs. Billie Holiday (2021)
not billie
I'm sorry... but i just never believed that i was watching billie holiday... andra day did her best... but she's just not billie... first billie was gorgeous... and built... and andra is... well not... and lee daniels has a inner disdain for the people of his race... it's obvious by his work that he doesn't see himself as one of us... he's above us... pointing out our deficiencies...
i'm not like the majority of commenters on this page... i know the story of lady day... and believe me... in her fights with men billie gave just as good as she took... this crap paints her as the ultimate victim...
this was ok... nothing special... not a likable character in the bunch... and there were positive male characters in her life... lester young for one... i wasn't crazy about this piece...
Raised by Wolves (2020)
not bad so far
I'm just at episode 3 but so far it's interesting... altho campion is getting on my nerves.. he's an ungrateful little ****... his distrust and apparent hatred of mother is illogical... what did he expect her to do... just die and let him be kidnapped... his attitude towards mother is just a plot vehicle...
Average Joe (2021)
alternate universe??
Evidently this takes place in an alternate universe where there are no black people... either that or the casting director just didn't know any... with a better budget this could have been decent...
Gang of Roses (2003)
wow...
Absolutely the dumbest **** i have ever seen... everything about it was terrible... except for the fact that i will watch anything at all that lisaraye is in... lisa can't act.. .but she doesn't need to... the woman is sex walking...
gang of roses is worse than bad... the cliche's pile on one after another... the writing is worse than a jr high schooler could produce... this is so stupid that it's hard to point out any one thing that stands out... the plot makes no sense at all...
you have to see this to understand just how horrible it actually is... so bad it made me do like monica calhoun and raise my fist to the heavens and scream... see... i'm a cliche also...
Double Platinum (1999)
worth a watch...
If this movie were made today we'd have a hundred posts here about "feminist bs and crap" about how all of the male characters were scum and how sick the posters are of female empowerment movies... well... maybe not seeing as how all of the male bad guys were black... and all of the white guys were benevolent...
anyway... i don't like ross... i'm well versed in her history and what kind of person she actually is... she's pretty phony... and not believable as a repentant mother... and she can't act... i am amazed at how she gave such a masterful performance in lady sings the blues... she was really robbed of the oscar... and how she gave such a wooden delivery here... i guess directors really do earn their money...
brandy was pretty good... i read one review that said that brandy wasn't as pretty as diana in her youth... that reviewer must have been a women... because i have never heard a man describe brandy as anything other than gorgeous... i read another review that described the music as pitiful... the songs written for the movie were pretty commonplace... but the songs "almost doesn't count" and especially "have you ever" are songs for the ages... it's worth the price of admission to see brandy perform them...
all in all... not a movie that will go down as one of the greatest... but enjoyable for a saturday afternoon...
Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn (2020)
harley deserved better...
First off... i don't understand why caucasian males are so threatened by anyone other than themselves asserting who and what they are... they take great things and try to place negative connotations on them... "feminazi"... "tree hugger"... "outside agitators"...
every single movie or tv show that features strong women is labeled a feminazi effort... and we're told how sick of having this shoved down their throats they are...
there is absolutely nothing wrong with female empowerment... after centuries of being oppressed they deserve their moments in the sun... yet males take these moments as direct attacks on their sovereignty....
that said... birds of prey was just an awful movie... and it has nothing to do with female empowerment... it has to do with a terrible script... writers that apparently never ever read the graphic novels... or just didn't care about the back stories... one of my main peeves with todays super hero flicks is that the heroes powers are elevated or diminished to suit whatever plot turn happens to be occurring... when the hero needs to appear more human he/she's beaten up by some random bum in the alley... when just a few frames ago he/she wiped the floor with an entire biker club... this version of harley was strong at times... weak at times... but generally just seemed to be incompetent... and unsure... harley's main characteristic is that she's bat s**t crazy... it's what endears her to us... it's what makes even the joker a little afraid of her...
this harley just seemed to be a victim... unsure of herself... and the idea that without the joker harley is like a boat adrift is just ridiculous... and is about as far from female empowerment as you can get... harley wouldn't have cared if the whole world were out to get her... her attitude would have been "bring em on... one at a time or all at once"... harley is dangerous... and that aura is with her always... this harley... not so much... again... she acted like a victim...people aren't afraid of harley because of her association with the joker... where in the world did these writers ever get that idea??... harley quin afraid of a mobster??... give me a break...
i am sick to death of these neo-writers changing our superheroes back stories to the way "they" feel that they should have been... rewriting what made us love them in the first place... this latest example of that was a dismal failure... and i'm one of the males that wanted badly for it to succeed... harley is one of my favorites... and margot played her perfectly in SS... here... not so much... awful script... terrible direction... horrible character development... all in all an awful movie...
and on top of that... those awful shorts made harley's but look flat...
harley deserved better...
The Dawnseeker (2018)
a dog of a movie...
I understand bad movies... what i don't understand is people... how anyone could give this film a grade over a 3 is beyond me... and believe me... a 3 is generous... this isn't a spoiler because it's included in the film description... but the sun is dying... it needs some miraculous mineral called stardust... seems that a bucketful will cure a sun that has a circumference of 2.720984 million miles... ok... we'll table that... the fate of the entire solar system is at stake... and they send 5... count em... 5 misfits with a gallon bucket... they send 5 mercenaries to save the solar system...
i won't go any further... not because i don't want to give up the plot... cause there's really no plot to give up... just a bunch of meaningless... loosely related scenes strung together... very little of this makes any sense at all... the only way to make a movie this bad... is if that were your actual intent...
