Army of One (2016)
Nick Cage is a National Treasure
Do you like Nick Cage? Do you like swords? Then why haven't you seen this movie?
In this stellar performance, Nick Cage delivers a knock-out, drop-dead, 10/10 performance. (I'm not even joking.) I don't think anyone could have portrayed his character closer to the actual man than Nick Cage. I've seen a lot of Nick Cage movies. A lot of "bad" ones. I liked them, but I like to get drunk and watch Nick Cage movies. It's somewhat of a pass time. This movie however is actually a movie I would recommend watching with real people. There's a certain awkwardness of the whole movie, the type of awkwardness you've come to expect from a movie with Nick Cage in it, but it actually fits this time. I mean hell I even felt bad for the lady (his girlfriend/chick from Reno 911). The whole situation is ridiculous and she just goes along with. Just like me watching a typical Nick Cage movie. But this isn't a typical Nick Cage movie. This is on National Treasure levels, and I'm serious when I say that. Now sure there's stuff that doesn't work. It kind of seems lazy that there's a narrator for example, but you should still see this movie. Everyone should see this movie. Half the time I'm asking myself what the hell is happening. And I look at the screen and I get the feeling Nick Cage is asking himself the same question. 10/10 would watch again.
Daddy's Home (2015)
An Intelligent Political Satire
Many people wish to compare this film, this cinematic masterpiece, to other films by William Ferrel or Mr. Marky Mark Wahlberg. They are wrong to do this because I do not believe either have ever been in such a well crafted political satire.
This film is obviously a satire of the 2016 Republican nominations.
The children represent the American people. Will Ferrel's character is clearly Jeb Bush. He's very low energy and an all around loser. No one really seems to like him, but he is your only choice for a father figure in the beginning. Then Mr. Wahlberg shows up. At first I thought he was Donald Trump, but as the film progresses it's obvious he is Ted Cruz. He's better than ol Jeb, but he's so used to running around in the Senate you wonder if he can really be your nominee/father. Then there's Hannibal Buress's character who is pretty much Ben Carson. He's very relaxed and seems pretty cool, but still not the best father figure due to his lack of experience and the possibility that he may fall asleep at any moment.
Then just as the credits are about to roll, the man, the legend John Cena comes on the screen, and it all becomes clear. This is our father, our president in this clever metaphor. Donald J. Trump. We love you Daddy.
Degrassi: Next Class (2016)
The Cringe is Real
The Wiki description says it all. "Degrassi: Next Class is a Canadian teen drama."
If that doesn't make you want to see what kind of train wreck this show is, I don't know what's wrong with you (Maybe you still have faith in humanity.)
Do you think a good television show looks like a UNICEF commercial? Degrassi has you covered. Complex characters who's depth is that of a shallow pool with a sad little man at the bottom shouting, "DO YOU GET IT HE'S GAY? Look how progressive we are. We even have lesbians and inter-sectional feminism."
Have you ever wondered what tumblr would be like in the medium of television? Meet Degrassi: Next Class.
Seriously though, I would recommend watching it if not just for the allusions to gamergate with the swatting. Imagine the SVU episode, but if Canadians made it. YUP, it's that bad. I would also recommend liquor if you take on the challenge of watching this series.
tl;dr
0/10 not nearly progressive enough. I mean come on, it's 2016. Trudeau would not approve. The cast isn't 50/50 male/female.
