Running Scared (1986)
IF YOU DON'T WATCH THE MOVIE, BUY THE SOUNDTRACK ITS KICK ASS
The movie is really not that great, it's chocked full of familiar faces, and billy crystal humor, but since Greggory Hines passed away long ago, there will be no way to do it over. The soundtrack .. Michael McDonald, Klymaxx, NewEdition, etc..
Man of the Year (2006)
ROBIN WE MISS YOU, WOW WHAT A MOVIE
I haven't voted since I voted for Nader, and I voted for nader because he stayed committed. Even when democrats wanted him to step down so that I guess it was Hillary would win. His reason why not - was to respect the wishes of those who voted for him and he didn't want to compromise their choice or avoid the statement they were trying to make. I didn't vote this last election, but I Knew Trump wouldn't win and that's all I cared about. The man I'd vote for if he was on the ballot would be Lawrence Lessig, because he's been pushing the same message that this movie does and that is the special interest groups, or shall we say the rich and corporations that have more money than half the country, fund the campaigns of the people we vote for, and sense we are stressed in our jobs and so taxed by the system, we are like children in a Russian state managed orphanage, ignored, uneducated and drugged up so we can't protest. I've seen documentaries on that, and if you think we are not living under a totalitarian regime or a communist dictatorship, we are in a sense, and during COVID there was not much difference between the way the CCP dealt with perception as the way Trump did, and that was to downplay a serious matter so people could carry on talking about a life they wouldn't be having if Trump was successful in sabotaging the process.
Anyhow, in this movie you will get the liberal view. Conservatives would never watch a movie with Robin Williams, and I'm glad Robin was in this movie, cause it was a movie that I think his heart was in. But I'm a technologist who believes that Christians shouldn't vote. Christians should realize we don't have control of the world, it was the last thing Satan tempted Jesus with in the wilderness. Jesus was crucified because he wasn't what the jewish people wanted him to be. They wanted someone to overthrow the roman oppression, did you know that why they hated Matthew, was that he was collecting taxes to pay for roman soldiers to oppress the jewish minority, so defunding the police is not a new thing. Whether you believe Jesus us real or not, if you have reason to doubt that there is any truth you won't find it when you need it. I've heard the largest population of Christians are in China, and 3% of Iraq was Christian, and Saddam didn't mess with them cause they weren't political. God diesn't need us to Control the world, we need to go into polling places, pray and press buttons squinting so the words are unintelligible, and leave things to chance. You know why a stoning is better than killing one by hanging or chopping their head off, it is to diffuse blame, the same way as a firing squad. With such a small poor community, where will you incarcerate and rehabilitate those that ruin the community? Especially if they keep coming back? Stoningwas a cheap solution, but it was also a way to help people identify those with empathy and those who had no empathy. You just have to dig a little deeper into the philosophy to find clues. I'm Christian, but I shouldn't push it in your face, I should say that what we see of the Christian majority, which at least in Texas seemed pro-Trump, are in such stressful jobs, that their cognition must have been suppressed, and acting like those shoppers in Australia buying up all the Toilet paper. This was a strange exoerience, but it will be the subject that future movies and research will unveil. Just remember, the purpose of the bible isn't to judge people, it is to relax and relieve the stress and agree that we are out of control, and that is a good thing. The Old Testament I would say is God trying to satisfy all mans preferences for a God. And tge New Testament is the Jesus solution. And I don't believe all God's word comes from the bible, sometimes Gid whispers it into our ears, in silence. Or has it come out our mouth when we know the words were not ours. And we stand amazed.
Stallone: Frank, That Is (2021)
Frank was a musician before Sly was an actor.
The documentary gets better after the first 15 minutes.
Once you realize he was involved with John Oates before
there was a Hall & Oates, in the 60s, you realize that he
has a lot to be thankful for because he's seen the ups and downs
quite a lot more than the average rocker trying to make it big.
He eventually realizes, as does the documentary "Find your way" about
buskers, that simply playing and making music should be where his
interest is and not trying to get someone else to approve of it or
give him a record deal. In the "Find Your Way" documentary
it reveals through several interviews with musicians including the lead singer
of POTUSA that getting a record contract usually makes the music making
process complex especially if you are under the gun to sell a hit record.
That documentary says the best way to make it as a musician, is to busk,
until you find what is comfortable, some people can even retire
from a life of busking. Frank's rise reminds me of Andy Summers experience
of trying to make it big until becoming the guitarist for the Police. He was a decade
older than the other members, and it only took three albums before they
broke up. Frank reformed the same band several times before he got a
combo that sounded good together. I wished there was more in the documentary
about his style of playing, maybe a sampler of his best compositions, rather than
just interviews of friends, maybe some opinions from long time fans, maybe
elaborate on his involvement with john oates and daryl hall, like what it was like to
be with them, and what that philly music scene was like. I really feel like it could have
covered the rocky road in forty minutes then elaborate on his music.. I really
feel like I was presented a resume but not really a taste of his dynamic art.

End of story
Happy (2012)
Biggest load of crap
Its got zero proof, it offers no scientific data, it leaves out "sex", in fact it implies sex but won't go there.. It tries to claim that happiness from taking care of people can equate to a drug like cocaine, which is a load of crap, if that were true people would find it easy to get off drugs.. The truth of the matter is that once you do an addictive drug you have a tingling feeling, sort of like an itch, that never goes away, and once you've done the drug a lot, it shuts down your ability to experience pleasure.. Now for someone who is addicted, if dopamine response is diminished due to long-term drug use, the dopamine response to the drug makes you feel "normal" whereas not having the drug makes you feel "depressed", in that case I would say that doing any activity equates to the happiness in a "addicted" drug addict doing something like cocaine. But the movie only plays chicken with the idea, it doesn't really have any proof. It could be regarded as a Buddhist conversion tape because it doesn't cover any other religions, in fact it implies that those who practice Muslim, Jewish and Christian faiths "are less happy".. Normally I like liberal documentaries, but this one leaves you thinking "that was nice, oh wait, I just got rick rolled"..
