Wanda Sykes: I'm an Entertainer (2023)
Why do comedians think they're politicians?
Wanda, if you want to get into politics, go be a politician. Nobody is watching your stand up for a lesson on what you believe. Which is honestly what most of this "stand up" special felt like. It's obvious that when she's not doing her job, she sits in her mansion watching the news and gets all riled up to make herself feel like she doing something "important". I find it ironic that throughout her special, she claims that she is an entertainer, yet for the majority of the set, she is not entertaining, but rehashing tired and frankly old news. There were parts of the set that were funny. In particular, a bit about the women's bathroom that really had me laughing. I had to give the special 5 stars for that part alone. Wanda can be so energetic and funny and it honestly makes me disappointed that she will not stop talking politics and just be a comedian. Entertainers are supposed to give us an escape from the real world. If I really wanna hear about real world noise, I'll just go watch the news. I'll end with this:
Dear comedians, actors and everyone in the entertainment industry,
I speak for everyone when I say, we do not want to hear about politics in anything that you create. Please give us an escape and something to enjoy so we can recharge and be happy even if it's only for a little bit of time. Be a true artist and stop taking the easy and lazy way out by incorporating politics into your "art". Please.
Insidious: The Red Door (2023)
Jump scares do not make a movie scary
This movie is for high schoolers to go see so they can say obnoxious things during the "scary" scenes while snapchatting whoever. Zero effort was put into this movie and it shows. Such a shame for Patrick Wilson's directorial debut to be this POS. I was expecting at least something unique since he was directing, but alas he only wanted to return for the money. Made me lose respect for him honestly. What happened to putting in effort? Wouldn't you want to make sure your directorial debut was great and impressive? I guess not. All this movie is, is cringe gen z humor, jump "scares" (loud noises) and an absolutely boring plot. Do not support this movie. You can tell Rose Byrne agreed to show up for her few scenes as a friendly favor. She is above this.
The Flash (2023)
Cringe humor
What is with every blockbuster feeling like they have to have so much cringe humor? I left the theater halfway through the film because I just couldn't take it anymore. Every scene with the younger flash was absolutely cringe inducing to watch. Also, we are supposed to believe Ezra Miller as an 18 year old? Please.. And Michael Keaton is able to have the fighting skills of a ninja at 71 years old? I don't even remember his batman being able to fight like that.. Nobody cares about Michael Keaton as batman anymore. His time has passed so can we please move on? Just like Harrison Ford returning as indiana jones... Who wants to watch a senile man playing his same signature character... and we all are supposed to believe that they "still got it." These older actors just can't let go of their huge egos and let someone new and hot take over. Please bring back serious and well written movies again.
Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)
The slowest superhero movie I've ever seen
One of the biggest disappointments I've ever seen. Kristen Wiig is the only saving grace of this terrible film
