Hate in America (2015)
Whitey Did It! - It's All You Need to Know Basically
Whitey Did It! - It's All You Need to Know Basically.
I thought in 2015 we might see an honest open portrayal of hate, bigotry and racism in America. Alas, this documentary portrays basically, haters are only white who target others groups. Basically, Blacks, Sikhs (Muslim stand-ins if guess?), LGBT Community etc... are only targeted by whites.
While no one disagree's with the groups noted are targeted, often by whites, they sure ignored the Black Hate, their racism, and bigoted ways. That is one elephant in the room they ignored.
For some reason, this documentary does not cover the massive black hate that we see today. Guess the Black Institutionalized Hate of Whites, Jews, LGBT's, Immigrants, anything or one that is Nonblack. is not worthy of mentioning. The repeated outlandish comments by Black leadership, Black Entertainment which often promotes hate and violence, Black Gangs who target whites purposely or the rhetoric in their churches and mosques that ferment ugliness towards other. Often the hate is expressed openly and overt by these people and groups which are numerous and keep getting a pass by media and much of society. Guess being black means you can not be a racist, bigot or hate?
While they showed a token picture of Fred Phelps group of jackals, promoting their brand of religious hate for gays, they never noted it was a Christian Church, much less recognized by the US Government. The hate within many Christian Church's that is spewed from the pulpit weekly is not even noted, as it needed to be. Many churches preach hate of LGBT, Blacks, Immigrants, often teaching Black Liberation Theology which is code for white hate etc. So the second elephant in the room is the Christian hate that infects our country and infects our politics with their hate with politicians pandering to them. So how much more American Hate can you get than the largest group in the US where over a 1/2 preach hate, racism, and bigotry, while demanding an indirect religious test of politicians before they will vote for our potential leadership.
Where was the exposure of the daily hate upon Immigrants that is occurring, mainly targeting the Latino population, but not exclusively?
How about the hate Jewish people experience by others groups and the hate promoted Jewish Zionist Groups, that was ignored as well.
I was surprised they did cover the vast amount of Hate toward LGBT community or anyone perceived as such. It seemed fairly good coverage, I did not know it was as vast as it was in relation to LGBT population or how and why it was so under-reported. Yet much of that hate comes from the pulpits with some people just needing someone to hate that is safe to hate, socially acceptable to hate around the water cooler, bars, place of worship, sports or bonfires etc.
The documentary really came off as a condemnation of whites and their unrelenting hate, they threw in some tokens, to try and deflect such determination. Regardless the first 37 Minutes was 100% whites being the haters with the LGBT being a white attacked by an undefined race or I missed the race. Regardless that was only from 37 minutes to 41 minutes with remaining 2.5 minutes being a rehash of people in the documentary as the credits rolled.
A biased Documentary with Selective Portrayal of Hate in the USA, all groups covered were abused only by whites, while some of the largest hate mongers and fomenter's of ignorance were ignored and sidestepped. The fear of Black backlash and Christian outrage won again, the facts and reality of Hate in America lost as usual. So nothing new here, just a new year with the same old propaganda and half-truths.

What an Amazing Letdown - SAD! - Waist of My Time & Those with Me!
Wow! What an amazing letdown.
I can not believe anyone found this movie interesting or enjoyable. I have seen bad movies, can deal with bad movies as well, this movie is such a waste of time and so many tremendous resources wasted is mind numbing.
I have no idea how it got Oscar. Not even worthy a pity party award.
I got my money back on this movie. I have only done that once ever prior in my very long life.
I would not see this moving if I was bored to death and it was free.
Paint drying would hold more value than this waste of effort.
Sad!
Kidnapped for Christ (2014)
GITMO for Kids - Monster's using God & Abusing the Bible for Economic Gain!
GITMO for Kids - Monster's using God & Abusing the Bible for Economic Gain!
Excellent Documentary! Way more than fair with this Monstrous Cult that are using God and Abusing the Bible for Economic Gain and to allow Megalomaniac Power Freaks to meet their selfish need to Exert Control and Abuse Other's which their target is teens and kids. Typical for such bullies and cults, they always target people they have physical and psychological power over.
The techniques are 101 mind control and brainwashing, used by regimes of past and cults of past. The ends do not justify the means, there are legitimate techniques available. These places leave the USA for good reasons, they know they are abusing children and holding adults hostage. These so called employees and the director(s) and all who are invested in these places need to be put in prison and sued for every dime they have and will ever make. They are criminals who are abusing US kids and holding US adults hostage, with no judicial process by the US Legal System. Glorified GITMO for kids who may have behavior problems or just wrong sexual orientation for backward parents. These kids, teens and adults being held and abused are not criminals or domestic terrorist, they have Human Rights! Here is a legitimate use of Military power to rescue our citizens and to take the criminal operators in custody for judicial action or they can be treated as combatants as far as I am concerned.
Please go to the site (http://www.kidnappedforchrist.com/#!action/c18rg) and TAKE ACTION NOW! My god, if you are a Christian or not this is all wrong and not anything but abuse for profit. How can a place in a 3rd world nation cost 72K which is 10K more than Harvard and there is no amenities's and the kids just do all the labor plus make work to further exert power by sociopaths running a cult. The staff has no training and are not qualified to babysit much less discipline, educate, raise, doctor or meet the mental health issues some kids come with and certainly all kids leave with.
Every Church needs to show this documentary to all parents and kids, so they know what not to ever do and to make sure kids know that such places or people who use such techniques are not okay. This is all wrong. Those who went through the program and support it are those who have been brainwashed and the mind control succeeded on. It is the fault of the people who are adults that run these places and those who promote them, with parents who are accountable as well for failure to attend to your child's needs and ship them off to a 3rd world country and put in the hands of monsters running a cult.
The capacity of such places to operate outside the US, taking US Kids and messing their minds, emotions and very innocence up need to be stopped and shut down and the people held accountable by US Laws and standards. We owe the kids of the US protection from abuse and misguided parents who are being hoodwinked or who are not competent to parent and so the kids need a proper option over such draconian places where it is nothing but a place where bullies can act out their fantasies and promoters have ridiculous profit margins and the US will eventually end up with the long-term care for many of these kids who come back mentally scarred and will eventually show the signs of such abuse in differing ways. The old saying the abused often becomes the abuser is very true and noted for good reason.
This is a Jim Jones for kids and young adults. Just look at how they acted when they were confronted with people wanting the release of just one adult. They have even changed their name which that right there shows they are running a seedy operation knowingly since that is a common technique used by criminal enterprises in the US. What will they do when or if they are confronted with government intervention? I say watch out for the bitter KoolAid Kids. Not trying to be funny or cute, this is a real threat with people like this and their control is threatened. They can not handle anyone questioning them and those who do are seen as the devil and there is a real threat they may take the kids out and then themselves. They promote and even demand B/W thinking by students and the staff see's life in such terms which is very dangerous mindsets for anyone to have, much less those who hold control over kids and are forming youths minds. These people who run these places are not mentally healthy and are a real threat to those under their control and those who try and remove their ability to control will be seen as threats.
These places need to be shut down, we must stop allowing people to take kids by force out of the US, we need to hold these place and the people fully responsible and parents need to be warned and even hold them accountable the same as if they left a child un-cared for properly in the US. This must stop and we owe kids protection from such places!
Atlas Shrugged: Part III (2014)
Run Away - No Bad Good just Bad Bad Film
I thought I knew what to expect being a Ann Ryand based film and figured if I agreed with it or not it might be a study in that mindset.
All I saw was a bunch of clowns trying to act with so much cheese on top and worse editing mixed with lots of old footage.
If Hitler has seen this piece of sad propaganda he would of shot all who made this film. Heck even the propaganda films I have seen in the past from the 40's had way more merit than this cruddy work.
Do Not waste your money! The people giving such high ratings are those who would give a water closet with Ann Ryands name on it a high rating. They are just you brain dead fan boys who can not think beyond their indoctrinated hate of anything the see as a enemy; which basically everything that is not right of Atilla the Hun is their enemy.
Save you money and save your eyes!!!
The Imitation Game (2014)
Excellent Movie - Life & Death Depending on Intellect vs,Societies Ignorance's Endangering Freedom from Tyranny
Excellent Movie - Ignore the Few Bad Review's!
One star ratings are from our lovely "Foaming at The Mouth - Agenda Driven - Radical Right Wing - Evangelicals" who hate anything that has a gay person in it; much less exposing how horribly ignorant society was towards women as well. They still are deluded into thinking the 50's was all a "Leave It To Beaver" paradise for all in society as they forget the atrocities to blacks, Italian's, gays, women, Jew's, disabled, Latinos (sure I missed many more who were abused by such mindsets they espouse then and even this day). As well the poverty and the openly embracing of hate and many more ignorance's that they clinch still to this day to. If they were not so dangerous and holding society back I would pity them, alas they are as big a threat as any fanatic is regardless of who or what they believe. So one star people keep your bigoted hate in your place of worship and in your petty party politics of control devising ways to abuse others you so endeavor so hard; we are moving forward with or without you in the USA.
Movie has a solid cast of characters with great cinematography and well balanced story that keeps you interested in the film and its characters as it takes back to the WWII era in England and see the underlying efforts to win the war and unlikely people behind the scenes that made such happen.
The movie was excellent in showing the bravery of unsung hero's and how the war was won through brains and how many went unnoted and even suffered scorn by those ignorant to their true selfless actions for the war effort. How our ignorance could of and likely cost us more death than was necessary because we judged by superficial bigoted means and not by character and persons abilities.
Movie pointed out indirectly how even then, women were still seen as property with little say in their lives if they were to be of virtue and have any hope of social status. How that even in adulthood that they must blindly obey thy parents or have a husband to answer to and permiss them their very activities. How pre and during WWII women were limited career wise; regardless of talents and education. That is unless they were able to lie and deceive the gatekeepers of who could and could not succeed and prosper on their own merits; regardless of gender, skin color and sexual orientation.
We also see how allowing society to sub-come to ignorant views and bigoted perceptions not only can destroy innocent people; but how such leaves upon society so many potential needless loss of life because such ignorance cost them the talent and skills another had to offer humanity. I wonder how much we have lost unknowingly do to the ignorant and bigoted people who demand and self proclaim they know what is best for everyone including others they know not and who preach freedom as long as the freedom is their liking and under their control.
Movie has a great direct story and many underlying life lessons some to this day still refuse to accept and wish to drag society back into there 1st century thinking's! Well we will not allow you and your ignorance's are now in the open for all to see and judge by your actions and words of what and who you really are regardless of who you claim to follow or believe in.
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 (2014)
Sad, Pathetic & Lame - Corporate Kleptocracy Money Grab
Boring to point I got up and went to back of theater to check IMDb on my Tablet to see what was I missing. Obviously I was lacking somehow and must be missing something I figured with all the rage around this movie.
What I found was it was not me but the movie just does not connect, has no draw and feels like just a corporate money scheme. I feel cheated, dirty, like a stupefied sucker and want to take a shower. I get better vibes from used car sales lots than this movie as well the industry of late.
There were some good movies this year; but all that has come out pre- Holidays have been lame to terrible and I see a lot of movies. Maybe the "Interview" had real potential compared to this tripe I have seen here and in other recent releases of movies.
I watch a wide genre of movies and am open to diverse visual and story arts but this and the recent movies are so terrible literally. I am finding better more engaging shows on TV than what the theaters offer nowadays. Heck they can not be original and rehash same old stories; well okay that might be fine if the surpassed the originals and yet even special effects seem at best B movie compared to the epics of the 60's and such.
Dang maybe they just need to go back to Spaghetti Westerns; at least they were entertaining somewhat....
All I feel is fleeced; again by the movie industry and it is getting old. But all they seem to care about is cha-ching, cha-ching, cha- ching. Guess the 4th Quarter is more important than their long term outlook as a industry. More people are catching on and just say screw it and why theaters are more and more empty.
We know the technology, actor resources and financial might of these studios more than ever and how they are refusing to do the real work it takes to put something out that is worthy out dollars. No wonder so many people seek other media sources over theater these days; with ticket cost outrageous, $2 in snacks costing $20 for stale muck, floors your feet stick to when walking and seating that needs a biohazard warning label. I have no idea why people are over the theater experience with such bad movies to boot!
Boyhood (2014)
Nice, Cute and Inciteful Movie with a Interesting Way of Shooting a Movie!
This was a interesting presentation of a real to life coming of age story.
It is not full of trauma drama or frenetic action as some seem to expect for any movie to be good. It is not a reality show either, per se; as some make it to be. You actually see the same kids age naturally 12 years to young adulthood along with their imperfect parents who are trying to grow too.
There are differing types of genera; sad few seem to understand such, but such is what makes the world go around and the visual arts what they are. If you did not enjoy the movie; maybe it has less to do with the movie and more with your choice and wrongheaded expectations! One needs to have expectations relevant to the movie they are seeing and seeking such genera that you want and not demand rehashed cookie cutter movies that meet the all to common hyperbolic types made to often these days and which is why we see so many remakes of the same old scripts and _______ VI etc.
It is your right to not like it; but to be ugly do to you choose the wrong format for your taste is sad and deflecting. At least someone tried something new and original. We saw the same kids grow from childhood to young adulthood and same adults age naturally for the most part; changing naturally and not some hokey makeup or CGI effects.
People come to need to much to quick nowadays and again could not put their electronics down and watch the show instead of annoying other paying customers with needless frenetic pawing at at such items and further distractedly lighting up the theater like the Starship Enterprise. The childish manners by adults whom seem to think their fat belongs in my seat or their legroom includes my space or everyone is to pickup after them as if they are some spoiled child has gotten ridiculous and contribute to why so many now seem not go to theaters anymore. It is time theaters throw rude and intrusive patrons out and ban them if need be and I know they can see such since they use night vision to monitor for lewdness and catch people recording the movies.
No I am not some old bitty. I am in my 20's and wish my peers and elders would set a example for the kids and stop blaming them when they emulate their elders own bad behaviors. If the kids are a problem it is their parents and those around them fault and no one else's; as well it is not our responsibility to raise your darlings or to correct their bad behavior they learned from you or you tolerated. You make them you raise them and stop sloughing them off on society to raise for you!
This movie shows some of that and how parents make repeated bad choices and then the kids suffer and society pays. Yes I know life is unfair all to well, better than 99% do. Yet stop repeating same mistakes and creating kids you can not care for; especially when you can not self-care. Raise yourself right and then think about kids; by what I saw in the theater and see daily, few so called adults are ready for self management , much-less raising kids.
PS: They do offer lesson on etiquette, civility and manners and sex education too by the way; often for free! Try them and maybe you will realize you were lacking and did not know it you were not as mannered as you thought, nor understand the proper way to self-care so as to protect from pregnancy and diseases...
STOP THE CYCLE OF IGNORANCE; PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY BEGINS WITH YOU!
Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (2014)
Like watching a bad lame video game being played badly.... Sad! Save your money!
This was one of the worst movies I have ever experienced. It was not even so bad it was good nor will it get a cult following. I've seen better video's that kids put on youtube of their game they played. This was nothing but a paycheck for the actors I suspect or they are very disappointed if they went out on the limb to make a interesting form of genera. I am not sure what they were really trying to do but I recall making stick figures move by drawing them on different pages in school and that was more interesting than this disaster.
I have a open mind with diverse interest and also allow lots of lead-way for directors artistic interpretations and interest in varied genres. This film is nothing but a way to sell, market, or increase sales of a video game or something else I am pretty sure and suspect.
I have never given such a low rating and hope not to again. It was sad such potential was so wasted and made into such pathetic material. Kind of a mixture of the late 1800's movies, original 1960's Batman with Laurel and Hardy with only their worst parts and aspects of those old shows of which they mixed together made into such pure tripe as this movie. In fact the old shows are way better than this mess of a movie.
Save your money and do not be mislead by high ratings for they are not accurate and something is not right with such a high rating for this trash. Likely corporate paid voters or people who feel peer pressured by slick marketing to make more of this nothing movie than it is. Since they put such money into this waste of time I am sure they are desperate to do anything to save their backsides and to continue the complex unseen agenda the studio apparently has going.
No way something this bad gets to the big screen without lots of desperation and a bigger agenda influencing it with financial desperation as a underlying aspect on how it got on screen.
Do not be suckered into the marketing of this sad trash with such wasted talent! So sad!
I really gave this movie as much lead-way as anyone could and even saw parts more than once on a separate day to make sure I was just not not catching it or in wrong mood that day to enjoy such genera. No this is wasted time and you are better off watching paint dry or going for a walk on hot coals in the summer sun than watching this tragic waste of talent, screen space and money by the studio!
Lucy (2014)
Fun & Interesting - Not the best but was worth the time!
It was okay sci-fi that was plain enough for tweens, teens and adults seeking a simple sci-fi & shoot em up type genera that was easy to just sit and enjoy as is. Also there was enough for the more intellectually oriented to think about and contemplate some of the scientific fantasy sci-fi aspects as they as well enjoy the movie for what it is.
Do not expect the movie to be based on solid proved current scientific understandings with its premises or how such events come to occur; that is why it is a sci-fi fantasy. Saw so many complaints in reviews here and other sites about it not being 100% scientifically correct etc. Tralala...
Too often many adults seemingly lose imagination and become rigid as they get stuck on technicalities and are only able to relate to their understandings which often is what they find comfort in and/or seem to just seek to show they know better and basically fault find in a seeming sad attempt to prove their intellectual superiority instead just allowing the mind to stay flexible and enjoy such genres as is. There are many free documentaries and as well free college lectures widely available on the web if you are seeking such; this genre if for enjoyment by many demographics with varied interest and skill levels.
Not being mentally locked in is why kids often make profound observations on things about a issue that have been right before us but we adults seemingly have missed or can not see. This is why kids often have uncharacteristic insights that we adults often miss because we have lost contact with our own imagination or ability to look at things from differing perspectives and points of view as we have failed in keeping and nourishing an open imagination into and throughout adulthood. Guess that is why many new ideas, technologies or re-purposed old technologies and as well many key scientific discoveries occur by young people, if child or adult. That is why we must keep open flexible minds, learn to listen and not just hear and be open to what youth notes and support their understanding without causing them to lose their imaginations and creativity. Easier said than done, I know.
Just enjoy; it is a sci-fi movie which is for fun as well some thought provoking aspects if you so choose to allow such or wish such. This movie is not going to win a Oscar; but hey it was okay and not a total waste of time and many seemed to enjoy the movie in the audience I was in from what I observed.
Thanks and lets be nice to each other; life is cruel enough without any help from us in making is more hurtful, of which we should know better anyway...
