Saiyûki (1960)
Lost stars after seeing the original
The story is disjointed and mostly makes no sense. That's because the original version was in a slightly different order and had a different plot. No Winny the Pooh narrator, because the story unfolds in a much more organic way, in the Japanese version. No cheesy and dated jokes. The Americanized version has WAY too much talking, because they keep trying to force in a story that isn't there. I vaguely recalled this movie from my childhood, so I rewatched it and thought "This is awful and doesn't make any sense" all the way through. So, out of curiosity, I watched the original with subtitles. "Ohh... Now, this one makes sense." Juxtaposing them minutes apart really makes the differences stand out and the English version is extremely disappointing compared to the original story. Granted, watching either as an adult is probably time wasted. I'm not sure which is more insulting; changing the story to "Westernize" it or changing the story because "uncultured, uncouth Westerners" could never get into a traditional Oriental story.
Dual (2022)
Is this some new form of acting?
I've seen some of these actors before, and they're not this bad. What is going on? Give up on suspending disbelief, as though you're at a 3rd-grade play and your kid's not in it. And the dialogue... It's like a bad Google translation from another language. Nobody talks like this.
Designated Survivor (2016)
More radical leftist propaganda, sprinkled with a TV show.
This show pretends the premise is a catastrophic event that leads to an unprecedented situation in US government. In reality, this is a side plot and the main message is "white people bad, men bad, straight people bad, straight white men the worst, brown people good, black people good, women good, open borders good."
I know it risks alienating many people, but it's about time to acknowledge reality. This is pure hate propaganda by the usual suspects.

Moonfall (2022)
Who writes these?
Synopsis: Everybody's family is dysfunctional, everybody's romantic relationships are strained, everybody's working counter to everybody else's interests.
...Oh, and the world is about to be destroyed or something, if we time to include that.
How many times is this same ridiculous movie going to be made?
Nobody (2021)
Mom, can we watch John Wick?
We have John Wick at home...
Yeah, this is very reminiscent of John Wick. A bit more tongue-in-cheek, perhaps.
Knives Out (2019)
Thinly-veiled Marxist propaganda
You look up "soyboi" and you'll get a picture of Rian Johnson, so I guess it's no surprise. It's an okay story, if you completely ignore the anti-white bludgeon constantly bashing you in the face. The main message of this film has precious little to do with murder or mystery, but that only illegal immigrants are decent people, you bigot. White people are all awful and everything they've built should really be acquired by "PoC", because they truly deserve it.
Frozen II (2019)
Completely Disnefied
Let the propaganda seep into your child's mind without filters. They'll learn the only way a white male is any good is if he's simping for a woman. Strong, independent wahmen must destroy what evil old white men have built to make the world right for "PoC" who have been screwed over. What do you expect from a company completely taken over by the tiny-hat people Walt hated and warned about? Even 2 of the 4 leads are tiny-hat people. 2% of the population, but half the stars, yet nobody is complaining about "representation".
Elysium (2013)
Finally, a realistic depiction of socialism
A handful of oligarchs and the masses left with no mechanism to improve their situation. This is exactly what has always happened, every time socialism/communism has been tried, despite what purple-haired, perpetual college students have been propagandized with. 1984 wasn't about "Ing-Cap"!
Black Mirror (2011)
Pushes the PC narrative HARD.
Like most modern British shows - *cough*DrWho*cough* - it's a vehicle for pushing an anti-white, anti-male agenda. Nearly every relationship will be mixed-race, the cast is hyper "diverse" far beyond the actual proportions of Britain (for now), every stupid/evil character will be a white male. Sure, there are some women who do "bad" things, but they are very nuanced, with lots of back story and context; "How did she get to this point? What pushed her to this?" White, male villains will be cartoonishly one-dimensional and just presented as-is; "And then there's this putrid piece of filth... You know he's evil incarnate, because he's a white male." Other than that, it's basically a modern twist on Twilight Zone with a focus on not-too-distant future technology. Each episode is its own universe and stands alone in this anthology. I'm only in the first season (I've seen other reviewers claim later seasons take a nosedive), but so far, if you are immune from being preached at by social "justice" with all the subtlety of a 2x4 to the head, the stories are fairly interesting.
Vengeance: A Love Story (2017)
Have these idiots ever been in a court room?
I couldn't tough it out to watch this all the way through. I'm getting really tired of Hollywood's soap boxes. This time it's the feminazi myth of the American "rape culture". I can only hope the writers were being ironically satirical with such a ridiculously over-the-top portrayal of how a trial works. They hit all the SJW bases: slut shaming, victim blaming, toxic masculinity, male privilege... The whole movie (at least the first half that I could stomach) is a bunch of contrived plot devices that would insult the intelligence of an infant, cobbled together with the sole purpose of shoehorning in an agenda. The magnitude of suspension of disbelief needed to sit through this abortion would qualify as a superpower.
Hidden Figures (2016)
Great work of fiction, loosely based on some real (but mostly made-up) people.
The movie was okay, so long as you don't allow it to shape any opinions or world views. A quick fact check will betray this film as the outright "social justice warrior" propaganda piece that it is. Once again, Hollywood is tripping over itself to virtue signal their outrageous political correctness. I mean, every time you turn around,it's Selma, Suffragettes, and now this. White people are awful, stupid,and are all artificially in their high positions because of their race; we get it Hollywood. Gag! Remember in "Ray", where Ray Charles was banned from Georgia? That never happened in real life, either. It was yet another jab at whitey, to make them look like evil incarnate.
Hardly anyone ever heard of this lady who this movie alleges single- handedly rescued the space program from the silly white people who ran NASA in the 60s. Her real role was negligible, and she was really part of a large team; not a lone, brilliant savior this movie makes her out to be. Nobody retelling the story (including "We Could Not Fail: The First African Americans in the Space Program") of the early days of NASA mentions Katherine Johnson at all. And if you look at pictures of Katherine Johnson, she's about the whitest "black" woman you've ever seen. She just suddenly appears; the subject of this amazing story nobody else seems to remember and is thrust into the limelight by Obama and Hollywood (and the book, but who reads?).
Katherine Johnson herself has said in interviews she never felt any racism in NASA, as it was totally merit-based. There were bathrooms in the east buildings and the whole running a half a mile thing was totally made up for effect. How convenient for the writers that John Glenn is dead, so nobody can corroborate or refute the claim that he wanted "the smart girl" to double-check the computer's calculations. Everyone who knows anything about history, knows early NASA was nearly all German Jew World War 2 refugees and ex-Nazi rocket scientists.
Jack Crenshaw - one of the actual early NASA geniuses, says on his website, "Now back to the movie. From what I can gather, it's a very different story, and absolutely _DOES_ seem to claim that these three women saved the space program. It also, I'm told, portrays all the white guys as incompetent nincompoops.
THAT, I can tell you, is absolutely false. The NASA engineers of that era were the most hard-working and competent engineers I've met anywhere, at any time. And I've met a bunch.
Someone else here pointed out that the black actors in the movie are portraying real people, while the 'white guys' are all 'composite figures' with fictitious names. There's a reason for that: the real white guys refused to let themselves be portrayed the way the producers wanted to. That should tell you what's going on."
So, aside from the fact that this is an extremely racially-repulsive propaganda film from the uber anti-white extremists who have taken over Hollywood, it's a decent movie. I was already enamored with Janelle, from her musical career and now I'm completely in love with her. The movie is also, at times, quite funny. If you can get past all white people being portrayed as bumbling bigots and having to be rescued by black heroines, maybe you'll be entertained.
Battleship (2012)
Non-stop thrill ride of utter crap.
The stars are exclusively for the special effects, which are spectacular.
In years gone by, movies about war were based on actual wars. Now that our military has gone several decades as private thugs for Halliburton and its ilk, Hollywood has had to make up wars where A-#1, mom and apple pie, "Go USA!" flag-wavers can feel good about our military budget being approximately equal to the rest of the world's combined.
This movie is for you drooling rednecks. It's got everything you want: explosions, a lot of AC/DC songs, "good ol' days" military equipment run by your granddaddy besting the technologically-advanced and intellectually-superior (city boy) aliens, quick camera cuts so your ADHD brains don't get bored, and tons of scientific mistakes.
I hadn't seen trailers for this movie, so I had no idea it was based (really?) on the famous board game by the same name. What's next? Freeze Tag, the Broadway musical? Basically, if you enjoy this movie and you're over 10, you're retarded and please step away from the food stamp line and stop reproducing.
You will enjoy the God references. I always love those in movies about killing and blowing things up. Jesus is our General. Gag! Yet more socio-political propaganda, but at least this time it's radically right-wing, for a change.
The God Who Wasn't There (2005)
More fallacies from another "logical" atheist.
An hour of the pot calling the kettle black. Misunderstandings and half- truths haphazardly stapled together as "proofs" against Jesus. Nearly every serious historian agrees there is ample evidence that Jesus existed, regardless of their personal religious beliefs.
Just like Religulous and other atheist propaganda pieces, the self- absorbed ego freaks who make these things (notice, they're usually written by, directed by, starring, and presenting the beliefs of one person) fall into the exact same traps they accuse theists of making. The film starts with an inference that men in authority of the Catholic Church denied the now-known mechanics of the Solar System and were representative of God/the Bible/Jesus. The film goes on to make many ad hominem attacks (and/or sweeping generalizations), pointing out the ignorance of individuals who are portrayed as representative of Christians. Of course, the filmmaker gets to edit out any informed or intelligent remarks and edit in all the pauses and dumb looks he wants, on top of any actual stupidity or ignorance on the part of the interviewee. The film makes several appeals to popularity, positively interviewing atheist spokespeople and having a jolly inside laugh at the silly theists. It presents a logical leap of asserting since the Churches have been wrong and claim to represent the Bible, the Bible must also be wrong. Add to that the false dichotomy that since the Bible has now been supposedly proved wrong, then atheism must be correct.
The examples are endless and are intellectually painful, so I'll leave them at what have already noted. This is just another atheist with an axe to grind, a Cliff's Notes understanding of the Bible, and copy-&- paste arguments from equally ignorant and self-worshiping atheist websites. (Don't get me wrong; I'm the first to admit a huge portion of the religious are ignorant and stupid.) The closest he gets to a debate with a Bible scholar is picking a fight with a nut-job administrator of a religious private school that doesn't teach the Bible with any accuracy.
An interesting side note: When Galileo presented his theory to the Catholic Church, it was of a heliocentric universe, where everything - our solar system's planets, other stars, all the galaxies, everything - revolved around our sun. Galileo couldn't prove this (possibly since it's not true) to the satisfaction of the mathematicians and astronomers the Church had gathered for the occasion. So, the Catholic Church opted to cling to the previously-held false belief rather than latch on to the new false belief. The whole matter is purely academic, since the Bible is neither a church nor the clergy thereof.
Dante's Inferno (2007)
Warning: Anti-conservative propaganda piece.
I was surprised to discover Michael Moore or Bill Maher wasn't involved with this "movie". An American leftist laundry list of axes to grind, with a distinct sparseness of democrats in Hell. Mao Zedong and Karl Marx didn't make an appearance in Hell, but Ronald Reagan is in the same room with Hitler? Perhaps we'll have to wait for these California spin doctors to butcher Paradiso for them to show all of their pet ideologue political figures.
Cheap shots at religion, right-wing politicians, corporations and their lobbyists, Fox News, even SUVs. All the radical leftist talking points were too completely covered - while conspicuously omitting references to wrongdoing from the "other side of the aisle" - to not have been a conscious effort. The singular exception I noticed, in the hour and a half, is JFK has to have sex with Marilyn Monroe for eternity: The token inclusion in these propaganda pieces in a pathetic attempt at appearing non-partisan.
Rent (2005)
Please tell me nobody is so left-wing they liked this!
Things I learned watching Rent:
1. All employed white heterosexual males are evil.
2. To be deified ("Angel"? Wow. Be a bit more transparent, why don't you?) you must be an unemployed, gay, black, transvestite, drug addict with AIDS. What? You couldn't come up with a more PC character?
3. You can demand and receive free rent for a year (then attack the person who gave it to you) and one day when you actually get a check for doing virtually nothing, you can be offended and say "I don't want your charity".
4. People who own property have no right to charge anyone to live there and are not entitled to do with it what they want.
5. None of your self-inflicted problems are your fault, but the fault of the evil rich white heterosexual men.
6. Being employed in any field other than entertainment is "selling out". Also, if your entertainment garners enough interest that you can actually make a living doing it, you're still "selling out".
That being said, this movie had no redeemable qualities. It was way too long, too full of propaganda and ultra-leftist clichés, ill cast (way too old), and extremely contrived. ...and the songs were lousy.
Please do not allow your impressionable children to be brainwashed by this tripe. That the nauseating claptrap of this trash is just assumed to be understood and mainstream is the scariest part. No attempt is even made to explain WHY these people feel the way they do about things, but you're supposed to arbitrarily side with them because their characters are written as "nice" and the other guys are written as "mean".
Hairspray (2007)
Thinly-veiled racist propaganda, but funny.
What I learned from this movie:
1. It's bigoted to call white kids "the nicest kids in town", but okay to say "the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice", "the darker the chocolate, the richer the taste", and "now I've tasted chocolate and I'm never going back".
2. White girls want black boys, but black girls show no interest in white boys, and that's to be expected (because "they" can have "your" women, but "you" can't have "theirs").
3. Black people are nicer, smarter, and WAY cooler than all the stuffed-shirt, bigoted, religious kook white people.
4. If you work very hard at being a good dancer but completely let your body go to pot, you should still be put on stage, as long as you are one of the rare good white people.
That having been said, Christopher Walken and John Travolta were brilliant and their interaction was priceless. They really rescued this movie, but then, they make can any movie they're in watchable.
Unless you're a left-wing nut and really want your children to be indoctrinated with political correctness, please talk to them about this movie if they see it and don't just allow its brainwashing to fester in their little heads.
