Axios (2018)
Solid interviews with questions that really matter.
Great interviews with the right people at the right time. Asks questions that are relevant, thought-provoking and tough. Politics make up a great deal of the show, of which (in my opinion) is more center than left. Their staff is diverse (it is 202X after all), which allows them to comfortably cover a wide variety of topics that may not get airtime otherwise.
Plus, from a news standpoint, it's very informative and up-to-date. Before watching the talking heads of whatever "team" you're on, search for a couple episodes that have topics you're interested in. If anything, at least you'll be more in touch with the world around you.
Irresistible (2020)
Tries to be "smart" political, doesn't quite pull it off
I applaud Jon Stewart for his comedic prowess, but even a decent cast couldn't save this one. As many other reviewers mentioned, there really weren't any laugh out loud moments, just a rather boring dialogue with cheap jabs at the talking heads in today's media. Emotionless would be a good way to describe it .
Angry Boys (2011)
Nails each character to the T. Couldn't be funnier, period..
Pure dark humor. For those who are easily offended, please excuse yourself from viewing. Crude, rude, absolutely hilarious!
Clickbait (2021)
Trendy, low budget CW show with the F-word and bad music.
The title "clickbait" says it all. Pretty bad. Cheesy, cheap network TV quality show, trendy with texting and emojis popping on the screen (this show seems to be for teenagers). (Bad) Music that just starts playing throughout the show that does not fit the scene at all. Every demographic covered with every single character being a different race/religion (not that it's bad, but it does make the show somewhat unrealistic and "woke" feeling, like they are just checking off boxes). As another reviewer said, the real clickbait was Adrian Grenier being on the show.
Baby Driver (2017)
Blah, over-hyped, boring and cringe worthy
Just read my title. Says it all. I also fell for the "rave" reviews, even though I had a feeling it would be a disappointment. Not going to waste my time any longer by describing this movie.
The Gentlemen (2019)
Huge Guy Ritchie fan, but...
I must say the I've been waiting on pins and needles to see this. Guy Ritchie is by far one, if not my favorite director so I really really wanted to like this, but I must say, I was disappointed. While it had an outstanding cast, the script just did not seem like it was written for them. Also, it was very slow, and no amazing scene like Snatch's fight, Lock's massive gun shoot out, RocknRolla's outside of the nightclub fight scene with "The Subways" playing in the background. I'll try and watch it again, but yeah.
Funny People (2009)
Solid movie, rollercoaster of emotions
I love reading bad reviews. IMDB is like the Yelp of movies; every critic can't wait to blast a good film, and seems to put more thought into their own review than the movie itself. Anyone can see the beauty behind this movie. Great cast, great script, well played. That's what it's all about. You'll laugh (a lot), you'll cry (I didn't but my gf did), and at the end, you'll be a better person. End of story.
