Lady Ballers (2023)
Decent & Cute
The acting gets better as the movie progresses and Brett and Michael as anchors gave me life from the moment they showed up on screen!
It reads Sandler-adjacent, which is a cool throwback for a nineties kid like me and not too over-the-top.
My only requirement before going in was that they not drown me in ideology, which isn't an easy task for such a pointed satire. But the silliness and moments of tenderness helped to meet that requirement, and the DW cameos were enjoyable.
I loved the conversation between the coach and his daughter, praising women, which is something else I wanted to see done well and seriously. Overall, this was a good debut for DW's comedy slate and I know the next one will be even better! Just don't continue to stay on the same vibe/Sandler-adjacent type material with every entry and the fans will be satisfied! God bless y'all, keep 'em comin!
The Greatest Lie Ever Sold: George Floyd and the Rise of BLM (2022)
Don't be ashamed to abandon BLM.
Candace Owens answers the question that skeptics have never stopped asking, a question which donors are too ashamed to ask out loud: What has BLM done with all the money?
Other questions also feature:
Is Derek Chauvin truly guilty?
Is the true story of George Floyd being told?
How has BLM impacted black communities?
Why do celebrities support looters?
Why do Democrats seem to love racial turmoil?
And why is there such a strong tie between BLM and transgender ideologues?
We don't get all the answers. We don't even get to see where most of the money went. But the portion we do see is alarming. The answers we do get are game-changing. And Candace Owens proves again to be best suited to pose the questions that linger.
Candace has produced a full picture of the rise of BLM, and as communities awaken to the scam, as donors demand answers - such a picture will aid in its ultimate fall. Poignant, straightforward, well-paced, and witty, Greatest Lie is the documentary that no one else was willing to make, but that all of us needed - some passionately, some secretly, and others who will only realize it when they see it.
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (2022)
🙄Cringe
I was going to leave this alone, but the fact that Ruffalo thinks he can assume a status of defender of women and "BIPOC" in order to avoid honest criticism of this iteration of the Hulk story is just a reflection of how disconnected this entire project is from reality. Of course it is a superhero show, so it should rightfully be based in fantasy. But the storyline of She-Hulk takes no care to create a world of its own, and instead tries too hard to paint a landscape naively modeled after current feminist ideology. Honestly, even an ultra-feminist tone would have been acceptable, if She-Hulk was presented not only as a victim of injustice but also as a powerful, capable, evolved liberator. While we were expecting She-Hulk to be a nuanced, more perceptive, more quickly adaptive version of Hulk, we only received a sex-starved, emotionally immature, materialistic and shallow interpretation of the heroine. Whereas the She-Hulk we know and love is confident and effortlessly sultry, the She-Hulk of this show is hungry for external validation and is unattractively unhinged. The world of law was not exploited at all, where so many opportunities could have allowed the character Jennifer to shine. Furthermore, the show focused not only on She-Hulk's sex but too often on her sexuality, in a way that made her fans lose respect for the character as it was being fleshed out. The "humour" is lazy and antiquated. For all of their attempts to "modernize" She-Hulk, the writers recycled myriad tropes and "jokes," leaving minutes of empty space which they sadly assumed that the audience would fill with laughter. Ruffalo demeans the intelligence of viewers, and even accuses us of racism and bigotry, as if the show's inferred flawlessness is lost on our ignorance. Interestingly, it's Ruffalo's own character, the progenitor of this franchise, that is relegated to stage prop and soap box. She-Hulk's diatribe about female anger could have been a powerful moment, except that it minimized Hulk's personal history, and this very reality went unaddressed, making She-Hulk unlikeable and annoying to watch.
