Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart to Hades (1972)

This baby cart has so many features!

[8/10 · 24 November 2017]

It float, it provide you with fresh blades, it shot like a machine gun, the list goes on and on (or does it?).

This is not a story about a formidable warrior and a master of the suiō-ryū swordsmanship but rather a brilliant marketing campaign for a Japanese baby cart full of dangerous features!

Knight Rider (1982–1986)

A car that could save so many lives and yet...

[7/10 · 14 October 2017]

Can anyone explain why this KITT car has only been used to entertain people in a TV series when it could have been used more properly to maintain peace and order in a world that really deserve it?!

David and his car are such a good team, always backing up each other with an extraordinary connivance. They even take the time to have fun in the midst of all the dangers they find themselves trap into.

Seed: The Untold Story (2016)

A good tour of a very important topic

[7/10 · 29 September 2017]

The topic of seed conservation and food biodiversity is a very important topic in a world that normalize itself at a faster and faster pace. This documentary cover every aspects of the subject with concision and precision.

The production overuses the emotional component of the subject though. Covering important topic like this should not rely on emotion but rather on hard facts and with an accurate scientific perspective.

If you didn't already hate Monsanto before watching this documentary you might discover that you are capable of a whole new level of disgust and animosity.

Ben-Hur (1959)

I thought the Roman were good people before watching this

[9/10 · 29 September 2017]

This dramatic documentary is a great denunciation of the evil nature of the Roman empire. Their conquests were extremely brutal and merciless.

We are all very grateful that Judah Ben Hur won the horse race against the evil Messala.

The scene where we see the back of Jesus is a spiritual elevation experience for the soul...

Get Smart (1965–1970)

How to get out of trouble easily: an animated guide

[8/10 · 22 September 2017]

I really admire the way Agent 86, Maxwell Smart, always find a clever and unpredictable way of defeating the evil organization KAOS while being funny. I mean you are dealing with evil and dangerous individuals here. It is really masterful to defeat them so easily while being entertaining for the beloved public.

I don't think the world has known any other agents like Maxwell Smart. The cherry on the cake is obviously the gorgeous Agent 99: she is always there to save the day when Smart run out of trick...

Doomsday Preppers (2011–2014)

Most watch if you are serious about prepping!

[7/10 · 8 September 2017]

This show is full of very inspirational people that will motivate you to bring your prepping to the next level.

The production is very dishonest though. They will mislead you so you keep on watching the episode. I even suspect that they distort the story of some of these preppers to make it more spectacular (by introducing drills, explosions, arguments, etc).

The Practical Preppers assessments are kind of weak. Some preppers don't hesitate to point that out during the show!

TLDR; You can learn a lot of stuffs about prepping watching this show but the production is kind of weak.

Arrival (II) (2016)

Time travel nonsense (know your Grandfather paradox)

[8/10 · 25 August 2017]

The more the movie goes on the less it make sense. The start is very strong but then the story lose itself into time travel nonsense, humanity unity and love.

It is worth watching though: the visuals are impressive, the music very powerful and the alien's language is very appealing.

Dunkirk (2017)

Taste of death

[10/10 · 11 August 2017]

Dunkirk provide you with an intense (~first person) experience of death: any idea of what it would be like to be stock in the cockpit of a sinking airplane in the middle of the sea? Dunkirk will make this clear for you. Oh, having a hard time imagining how it would feel like to be locked inside the belly of a sinking metal ship while water is flooding in from a hole made by a torpedo? No worry, this experience is included in the package. Also some very deep drone music will make this movie dangerously immersive.
