Iron Fists and Kung Fu Kicks (2019)
Ok but.........
So I was really liking this documentary. Getting a good history legend on the film genre. I enjoyed the documentary until they started going into strange woke segments. Some point in the during the Bruce Lee part they started going into oppressor and oppressed theory and I was kinda taken aback because this far in the film I didn't feel that wokeness in the documentary. Started noticing the females on the interview panel couldn't stop mentioning cringe stuff all the way up to the end. But the real thing that bothered me was their total glaze fly by of Jackie Chan's impact on Martial Arts movies or even just not mentioning Jean Claude Van Damn at all. Before Chan and Van Damn the genre was dead. Yet they have this entire segment of black martial arts that had very little impact at all on the film genre. Please stop with woke ideology, you are ruining the film industry.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022)
Didn't last a full episode
Look I wanted to like this because it is LOTR in tv form. But between Galadriel being the second coming of Xena Warrior princess and the adhd jumping around to different stories, I found it confusing and boring. Nothing really grabs your attention as a fan. The first 3 minutes of intro was probably the best thing in the entire series so far. I'm left wanting thrills and attention grabbing dialogue. Can't say I am excited to continue watching more episodes.
Also if you are giving good reviews based on just the cgi budget, please realize if any budget is over a billion dollars, monkeys in scienctist jackets could do just as good as a job.
Trainwreck: Woodstock '99 (2022)
The Silent Message
I thought the document was pretty good. Brought back a lot of memories. I myself was mad my ma didn't allow me to go at that time. 😁. I guess it was a blessing. But I did notice that there were a lot of up front and silent messages that white males were the cause of all the terrible things that happened there. Instead of focusing on the horrible individuals the documentary tries to call dispersions across the entire crowd bc they were mostly white males. With the bands they booked in 99 yourl werent going to see a lot of minorities present, although there were some. I say this all the time when media or need companies for this, but you can't take today's moral compass and apply it to the past. That's utterly ridiculous.
