Russell Howard: Lubricant (2021)
Hilarious
I have been watching his political satire recently. I was surprised to find a British person doing the same thing Colbert, Seth Meyers, Trevor Noah do on a regular basis.
My Japanese partner thought this live was funny too. I could see her giggling via the subtitles.
Just look at the rating, 7.0 and thought it was low then saw all the anti-vaxxers and Yankee Republicans in the reviews going on about the lamestream media and propaganda. Basically Trump supporters that are all pissed off with someone who believes in science. I think he mentions vaccines for 2mins at most, then its onto what idiots we Brits can be, and how to laugh at yourself and laugh with your family.
From these reviews, people clearly didnt get it and cant laugh at themselves.
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017)
Thoroughly enjoyable space romp
My gf hates sci-fi but she watched the whole film and likes it.
It's not trying to be a super serious a sci-fi film. It kind of reminds me of the Fifth Element.
Personally I liked the actors, the effects and the plot.
Angel Has Fallen (2019)
Weird cinematography. No much plot
I mean, there isn't really any depth to any of the characters. Just a body count.
The plot twists have been done before and then are over quickly.
The camera seems shaky in parts. It feels like you will have an fit watching it.
I preferred Anna if you are going to watch an action flick.

I found most of this shocking. There is very little comedy in this and you should be able to understand why.
I am writing this given the number of 1* reviews this has been given. If you think this is 1* you don't appreciate what it is like to be black in the US and you have neither sympathy of empathy. If you want comedy, do not watch this.
I saw someone say that using Christopher Dorner as an example was bad because he was crazy and a murderer. Do you know the police shot at 3 innocent people while trying to catch Dorner. None of the police officers were charged. This is exactly what Dorner was complaining about. Excessive force still occurs in the LAPD and no one is held accountable.
Chapelle's anecdotes and stories reach for your heart and grab hold tight. If you want a laugh, this is not for you. This is a serious expression of Chapelle's frustrations with how black people are treated in the US. He confronts the present and brings up his own past to bring a harsh dose of reality to his angry man rant. This is an angry rant. So if you think Blue Lives Matter and racism doesnt exist in the US, you should skip this.
There was a comment that this not a neutral take on things. No, its not neutral. Its Chapelle's point of view, and you should listen. Everyone has an opinion, but sometimes you need to listen.
Someone below said we all know how bad George Floyd died. Well, actually Im not sure that is true because nobody stopped it. I didnt know it he was pinned for 8mins and 46 seconds. People were protesting around the world because they felt empathy for what happened. This is a conversation that needs to be had.
