Long Shot (2019)

Isn't this supposed to be a comedy?

[1/10 · 17 July 2019]

Nowadays every movie is just so damn PC saturated that it's almost impossible to watch. Com'on, this is labeled as comedy, it's supposed to be fun and nothing more is expected and necessary. As a non-western viewer, I'm starting to think that Hollywood don't care about us anymore. Here in Asia, most people are conservative in nature and don't care about all those social justice and progressive crap.

The Interview (II) (2014)

Fun to watch, but fail the expectation

[7/10 · 24 December 2014]

With all the hype by the Sony hackgate, finally this movie is open in Christmas. The movie is fun, James Franco and Seth Rogen are hilarious, Randall Park created a cruel but also very sympathizable dictator junior, and the music in the movie is pretty good. The only problem I have with this movie is that I don't think it's a good idea to actually use the 'Kim Jung Un' to name the character, it makes the movie a little too much 'political', this is supposed to be a comedy, it's just for fun, so why bother to act like it's trying to implicate some real problems in reality while we have bunch of other channels of information for those issues, I think this only makes the movie take some propaganda taste. BTW, I don't get why the movie get so high a rating.
