Re: The Hunt (2020)

This wasn't too bad. I had a few laughs. In an interview a few months ago - before the release was announced - actor Ethan Suplee said it was about liberal elites mercilessly hunting down and killing 'deplorables'. He somewhat sarcastically asked... who do you think the average viewer will be sympat...

That was a highlight for me too.

Overall I really enjoyed this film.

Re: Islamic Terrorism in Film

Not film but I recall BBC's 'Spooks' did an episode involving Islamic terrorism in one of their early seasons. It was met with considerable backlash from the Muslim community. OK I've found a link: m Needless to say they didn't touch the subject again. Well, technically they did Episode 5 of Series ...

Re: Blade Runner 2049

It's depressing to see how poorly it has done (so far) at the box office. :|

Re: Blade Runner 2049

I know the following opinion is probably objectively wrong but I found Blade Runner kind of... underwhelming. Maybe it was spoiled because I'd been told over and over that it's the or one of the best films of all time. It was good... but somehow disappointing. Blade Runner 2049 was the opposite. I d...

Re: The Big Short is the movie The Wolf of Wall Street should have been

They're both pretty good. I prefer Wolf of Wall Street. It was more... fun.

Re: 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi

I wasn't expecting to like this. Not a fan of Micahel Bay. Not really a fan of these kind of films.... but I enjoyed it. Only complaint is that it's a little too long. I'd read and heard so much about the events that took place on the ground (and elsewhere) but it was quite something to see on screen.

Re: Up In the Air (2009) Video Review

I remain unconvinced about Up In The Air. There are films others seem to like that I'm willing to concede... the problem must be me! Split personality? Maybe. Like me, perhaps. If I'm not being accused of being a pretentious shitbag I'm a main stream moron. See if I can sum it up Boyhood in one sent...

Though I don't cringe when a Ferrari passes me... I see what you're saying. All it made me do was google the Hilton Hhonors club. Check it out.
