Just completed Netflix's "The Social Dilemma". While it is corny in parts, it certainly worth indulging for the good parts. I would like to believe that most of y'all are aware of what it is trying to convey. 5.5/10

Becky 7/10
It was really hard to buy Kevin James as a Neo Nazi ex con. Lulu Wilson was a crazy bitch who I could actually see getting the better of James. Kurrigan was pretty good in this despite his lack of ability. I did Mark out when he did Chokeslam a 14 year old girl |

Waiting for the Barbarians 7.5/10
Stars Mark Rylance, Johnny Depp and Robert Pattinson Set at the frontier of an empire that has a late C19th French colonial look, with Rylance as the local magistrate. Johnny Depp's character is sent to the outpost by the government to find an excuse to start a conflict with the local nomadic people (the barbarians) and starts torturing the locals for information. Rylance comes across a nomad woman who has been left disabled after being tortured and eventually takes her back to her people. On his return, he is accused or treachery and is tortured, before Depp goes off to fight the nomads. It is a slow, quiet film and not much happens, but I found myself engrossed in it. |

Curse of Chucky-5/10
An attempt to eliminate the comedic aspect of the series and be a more serious, horror driven film was a good idea but poorly executed imo. They go for the slow burn, so everything takes it time, including the eventual reveal. But they play almost too close to the chest, and really take their time getting to the point where Chucky is knocking people off. The kill scenes are also kinda boring. The deaths themselves are not fun or gory and pretty whatever. The film does so an ok job of tying Chucky's past with this particular family. Overall I wish it as more over the top in its death sequences and wasn't so reserved. Last edited by Damian Rey 2.0; 09-21-2020 at 04:49 AM. |

My Robert Pattinson theme continues, though he doesn't feature much in the following film.
Maps to the Stars 6.7/10 A scathing satire of the Hollywood scene, which focuses mainly on a family that are part of that culture and the return of their schizophrenic daughter. It's a tad bonkers, increasingly so as you venture further into the film. |

Always be my Maybe-7/10
Ali Wong and Asian Jim star in a funny but predictable romantic comedy about 2 best friends who have a falling out but are suddenly reunited with funny shenanigans to follow. Keanu Reeves steals the show in the middle of the movie as a pretentious wind bag. Also, the original Shredder, James Saito, plays a very loveable dad. |

Mad Max-8/10
A dwindling economy and scarcity of resources plays the backdrop in a film about a cop named Max who is pushed beyond his breaking point as a group of nomad bikers weak havoc and cause huge personal losses to Max's life, causing him to snap and seek revenge. I wasn't expecting the movie to be in a apocalyptic world. I was expecting more of Fury Road as far as the backdrop and aesthetics. But it was compelling nonetheless, with engaging car chases that are enhanced by practical stunts and set pieces. |

Just woke up this morning in the hotel room and it was playing, kept me entertained enough that I didn't fall back asleep. |

Mad Max Fury Road-9/10
2 hour post apocalyptic adrenaline rush. The jump from the first film to this one as far as backdrop goes wasn't jarring at all. The action sequences are enthralling. There's some cgi trickery going on of course, but, like the original, everything still feels and looks authentic and tangible, which only helps make the movie that much more enjoyable. Have to shout out the score as well. It was appropriately manic, with a nice little hero motif thrown in. Apparently there was some legal issue going on between George Miller's production company and Warner Bros, which stalled any sequels. But I'd gladly take another. One other side note. It is blatantly obvious that Becky Lynch, at least during her steam punk gimmick days, ripped that schtick right out of this movie from one of the wives named Capable. |

If somebody says "apocalyptic" to me I literally go straight to barren deserts with psychopaths driving souped up cars through them.
Maybe that's just me though. |

The town and city centres of Scotland come to mind when I think of the word "apocalyptic"....

Well yeah I've known that for years. What I didn't expect was the first one to be set in relatively modern times. I expected the back drop to be more along the lines of fury road.

Well it had to start somewhere. To be fair the next three films are all different versions of the same story.
BTW Karl Urban should have been Mad Max after Mel got too old. I still think replacing Mel was bullshit. |

Mel kinda did it to himself. I love Tom Hardy. Thought he was fine. I'm a huge Urban fan. Would've loved to see him in it.

Karl Urban is one of the greats. He can lead, support or pad out a cast and I bet there aren't any actors out there who don't love working with the guy.
He's just top class in everything. |

Mad Max 2: Road Warrior-8/10
Opening montage/recap made it feel a little like a soft reboot. Read later WB dubbed the lines of the original, it didn't fare well, and decided to just call the second one "Road Warrior", having act as a stand alone. It works. The world is officially post apocalyptic and gas is now it's only resource. A peaceful tribe has been able to pump and produce its own fuel, whileLord Humongous and his wild tribe have been actively trying to overthrow them and take over their compound. Max finds himself in that middle, trying to secure fuel himself. Like the last one, the stunts for their time are extreme, loud, tangible and well done. Everything hits with heft and comes off as brutal and violent. The movie is mostly a chase scene and the editing is well done. I find myself a huge fan of this series withone more to go. |
