Requiem for the American Dream (2015)
A Must See for anyone interested in why the US is having so many problems
I agree with another reviewer who said that if you've followed Noam over the years, you won't be learning anything new. That's true, I've heard most of these topics being discussed in previous books and talks that he has given but, having the focus of the entire movie on one topic was a treat and personally, I feel much better informed for having seen the movie. Also, Since Noam has so much information it's nice to have it edited so all the information is concise.
People love or hate Noam Chomsky, I fall in the love category. I just feel that whenever I hear him speak he is saying what I sense but I am unable to put into words. I've worked hard all my life but, never manage to get much accomplished so, his words are kinda soothing to my soul.
I just got finished watching it and already I am planning on when I can watch it again. I'm sure I missed a few points. I just love intelligent people and Noam is one of the best.
Terminator Genisys (2015)
Great special effects and lots of loud scenes.
I feel like I have to explain that this Terminator movie is nothing like the other Terminator movies and viewed that way, it was pretty exciting and interesting and a good Saturday night date movie but, if you are expecting it to be a real Terminator movie, like for it to have that feeling of being involved in the end times and the movie matters to everyone's lives, even your own, then you will be hideously disappointed.
There is nothing wrong with any of the actors, although Jason Clarke I find to be a really odd choice for John Connor. And, Sarah Connor, is a good actor, I liked her but, Linda Hamilton was a soldier, through and through and her first allegiance was to humanity and she never strayed from that even in the face of cyborgs and liquid shape shifters. The movie just doesn't produce that feeling that I got while watching the original ones, that feeling that they had to do this for me and every other person sitting in the audience. We were all in on it together.
I didn't like the movie really but, maybe a new generation of fans will be born.
The Strain (2014)
It's pretty bad - Slight Spoiler Alert
I pretty much didn't like this show from the first few minutes,because I really can't handle bad acting but, I like spooky kinda stuff so, I stayed tuned only to have it descend into complete madness. But, the part that had me clicking the "I'm outta here" button, was when the Medical Examiner, finds a heart suddenly come to life after he removed it from a dead person and he picks it up and freaks out when there are worms or something on it and he turns around and all the dead bodies are now reanimated and they start surrounding him and attacking. I am assuming they are eating him. I was like...seriously? I could write something better than this crappola. I was hoping it would be at least watchable but, alas, no.
