A guy, trying to finally pull his life together, has it ruined by a woman who forces him into fatherhood.

Very funny, but ultimately dark as hell.

  • Properly titled Clerks II
  • The woman in the poster is in the movie. I assume they photoshopped some cracker onto her.

While the primary fleet is away, fresh-recruits are sent to investigate a distress call from an allied planet.

A reboot and alternate-timeline of the series. It’s “good”, but is also the bubblegum one ought to expect these days.

A prince struggles to avenge his father and free his country.

While watchable, it’s not particularly impressive. It’s not that it’s old, or B-movie or anything like that. It’s reasonable, but feels, somehow, “poor”. Not poor as in bad, but poor as in without wealth. It’s simple. Other than that, I have no complaints other than the lead character has a thick German accent. Like seriously thick. Like what the fuck were you thinking, thick. It’s like The 13th Warrior – (1999 movie) which had one guy with a crazy Irish accent.

Of Silence (2014) poster

Entertainment > Movies >

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1405413/

A story about a man being a man.

A man, like all men, must “man up” instead of showing weakness. Not allowed to talk about his feelings, or ask for help, he is never diagnosed with mental disorders. When his wife dies, he is never offered and can’t seek counselling. When he spirals into depression he cannot talk about it or seek help. When his disorders flare up, he again cannot ask for help. His bills unpaid, he’s still required to suffer quietly until he is driven to suicide or is thrown into the streets. He can’t even talk to his family. He is a man who must be a man.

A movie with no characters, no plot and no purpose. Though I wonder if it intended it, this movie supremely highlights the silent suffering men live with.

A hipster, suffering from blackouts and hallucinations, .. aww fuck it, I can’t watch this garbage.

I hate the style and want to slap the shit out of the actors stupid faces, and if there’s a plot I’m sure I wouldn’t like it.

A brainwashed daughter and her manipulative mother practice a con to satisfy their hypergamy, but love gets in the way.

Mediocre, but worth a watch if you’re fairly interested. It has some moments, but it’s got a kind of campy attitude. While it has a plot, it hand-waves plot-critical character decisions. For me, this wasn’t even a bubblegum-movie. It hurt my brain to sit through it, and only the blistering hotness of Jennifer Love Hewitt could keep me interested.
