Vaxxed II: The People's Truth (2019)
Not anti-vaccine
As someone who is not anti-vaccine, but a skeptic of vaccine safety, I find this film and it's prequel to represent a very important contribution to the conversation regarding medical safety. Why can we hold medical professionals and institutions liable for injury for every other procedure, treatment or medicine, but we cannot hold them liable for vaccine-related injuries and death? Yes, many people are completely anti-vaccine, but there are also many like me who advocate for safe medicine. Vaccine-related injuries are recognized but downplayed as more and more vaccines are introduced and mandated, resulting in higher rates of injuries. If you haven't, I highly suggest watching Vaxxed and Vaxxed II.
Battleship (2012)
Absolutely disgusting...
The only thing, and I mean the ONLY thing that saved this movie from getting a 1/10 was:
*SPOILER ALERT*
The WWII veterans getting to blow the crap out of an alien invasion force.
Please forgive me if I DON'T suspend all reality for a couple hours to fully enjoy this movie. Being a Naval Petty Officer has taught me a few things:
1. A lieutenant is not going to take charge of a naval vessel once the CO and XO are killed.
2. A member of a foreign military would not be authorized to take command of a US Naval vessel.
3. The Mighty Mo has been de-militarized and would be incapable of firing a single round from the light machine guns on deck, much less the gun batteries that are filled with concrete.
4. Being that the Mighty Mo is a de-milled vessel, ammunition for said de-milled deck guns and gun batteries would not be on board. Kind of ironic they made such a big deal about moving a single round from the aft battery to the forward battery...
5. Admiral Liam Neeson, I am assuming, failed in his attempt to breach the alien force field under the water's surface since we didn't see any submarines in this entire film.
For all the hype the youtube videos made of the cast and crew spending time on naval vessels...I think they mistook the Disney cruise for the RIMPAC cruise they were scheduled for...severely disappointed. And I want to punch Louise Mingenbach and Kimberly Tillman in the throat for allowing Taylor Kitsch to wear both the Officers SW pin and the Enlisted SW pin.
