Xavier5: MaXXXine --- 3/10
Caveat: spoiler alert
A flick blessed with nudity, sex, and gory deaths but cursed with lack of rational storyline as a support structure for the mentioned elements.
Let's go over the plot and see why it is say so;
A preacher wants his daughter, Maxxine, to follow in his foot step as a preacher, or a devoted Christian worker or leader, but unfortunately she has other plans... plans of being a Hollywood star, but since she didn't have a big break she had to start from somewhere and this somewhere happened to be porn. Her preacher father of course was furious with this... furious that his darling daughter had been taken, inducted and corrupted by Hollywood into what he terms, its radical, immoral and satanic films, and Pornography. So he swore to rescue his daughter likewise expose and destroy Hollywood.
And here is where the problem lies, if his aim was to expose and destroy Hollywood, why go on a killing spree after upcoming actresses and porn actresses? Why not go after the big shots in the industry --- the studio executives, investors, directors, producers, scriptwriters, Hollywood stars etc?
Okay, let's give the plot the benefit of doubt and reason that he was trying to get his daughter's attention in other to make his so called Hollywood exposing video with her being featured in it, hence the killing of her friends, then the question of why he killed the other actresses that had no connection to his daughter still hovers in the air.
MaXXXine had what it takes to be an amazing slasher blockbuster, but unfortunately, poor storyline punctured it. It seems the film makers were more interested in the nudity, sex, and gory deaths than the plot. Disappointing and tragic, I must say.
#Xavier You're right! It's a blue film at best. Pirates (2005) even has a better story than this

abduleez1: The Fall Guy......6/10
Just an entertaining comedy ride all through. It's fun and nothing to really take seriously. Having seen it I understand why audiences wasn't so interested in it and it ultimately flopped. Wow😂🤦🏽♂️ you've a lot to catch up on fall guy Ke? Movies I watched this week:1. Inside Out 2: this could definitely be in contention for my 5th best animated movie of all time. Very energetic and one of the best movies you could watch with a child of any age. Not as tearjerking as the first but fun all together. A classic Pixar movie - I hope they leave the woke bull shit and make a general movie - for every family 8.5/102. Despicable Me 4: the best despicable movie ever imo- no context - no plot - just moving pictures with a lot of colours 7.5/103. Trap: first half of this movie is excellent : the rest is meh - the dialogue is just so bland and NPCish like every Shyamalan movie. 6/104. Deadpool and Wolverine: shut off your brain and just enjoy this movie and you wont be disappointed. Fantastic action sequences- the cameos are cameoing😂😂😂😂 but in some scenes have a lot of heart. SPOILER: there's a scene that's so amazing and teardropping where Wolverine rants and says Deadpool is dumb and I loved that scene. I'm definitely rewatching 9/10 Other movies I watched Kill: 7/10 The BikeRiders: 7/10 The Sixth Sense: 10/10 |

BlackManta:
 The actuals equivalent just came in: 120 MILLION DOLLARS plus bonuses bro🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️. In my opinion, it's desperation from Marvel and greed from Downey Jr.- Put it in perspective- that money could make Oppenheimer plus another 20 million for something else - SPENT ON ONE MAN! WTF! The VFX team are not paid enough and they are the ones who work the hardest. Downey is not even as slightly generous as Keanu Reeves - bro has made more than quarter of a BILLION dollars making Marvel movies and we've not heard him give to charity at all or even try to produce or direct a movie

abduleez1: Updates....
Superman wraps filming and it's merchandise sold out online in minutes. If the sales was in great quantity, then prolly the Superman movie would have paid part of it's budget in advance with merchandise. Rumor is it's around $350mn production budget. The guy for Batman looks too villainy |

Frankiss44: Funny how he acted weak in private with him and turned into a brave lord in public when all his banner men were gathered.. For once Deamond was humbled.. But I felt he played along because he had no option.. The last time we saw this boldness from a little person was lady Lyanna Mormont He's a master manipulator, he knew he needed the favours of Daemon but he knew Daemon needed his people more |

Baddestguyp: The episode is not a 1/10 or a 2/10
Neither is it a 10/10 or a 9/10...so both sides are reviewbombing...
And imo you're just as guilty as they are lol...
There's no way you watched that episode and thought it was honestly a 9/10... That is incredible bias.
It's the worst or 2nd worst episode in the season so far... I don't know- it wasn't bad to me- or maybe I wasn't focused enough on it |
TV/Movies › Re: What Series Are You Watching Now? Part 2 by Illusioneffect(m): 12:55pm On Jul 24, 2024 |

BlackManta: This is why The Boys S4 is the weakest season yet
Too many slow burn, filler episodes and irrelevant sub-plots.
The finale was great.
But I need the final season to be a banger from start to finish.
None of these slow set up and filler sub-plots, we're done with all that.

TWISTERS is overperforming and the two animation films of the summer are still legging superbly all week long. maybe, its effects may have reduced but dm4 dropped 71% from last week yesterday |

What's going on with movies😪. Throughout the week, cinema going in the United States dipped significantly because of the Trump assassination attempt - Everyone in the US here are on Twitter/X, everyone is just locked in online. I wonder how the political conflicts of Biden's apparent dropout from the race and Trump's event affects the box office of Deadpool and Wolverine. We shall see |

Baddestguyp: I watched the scene where Starlight got into the vault and was like wtf?? No way they let her in there knowing there's an assassin trying to kill the President Elect...
When asked how she found them, she said she used "Find my phone"  Like wtf is that?😂 |
TV/Movies › Re: What Series Are You Watching Now? Part 2 by Illusioneffect(m): 3:14pm On Jul 18, 2024*. Modified: 6:39pm On Jul 18, 2024 |
The Boys S4 - 6/10 Bad writing and more gore How did Starlight get into the White House vault they were trying to escape with a tight password they were trying to escape even though Starlight was a fugitive who beat up a US citizen on national TV - make it make sense. And what's going on - Butcher just ripped Neuman right in front of her daughter and Neuman didn't try to blow up someone's head 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️- took a full 7 seconds before he ripped her up and she did nothing - wtf! As strong as he is. That's the problem with the boys - they just rushed everything at the last minute- for what?? Also, with the political conflict in the US now - this show came at a really bad time tbvh - the writers who did a bad job trying to stoke the Jan 6 fire in an election year - firecracker saying 'Make America Strong Again' is definitely election interference at this point🤷🏽♂️ trying to make people believe the orange man is trying to send his political opponents to concentration camps. The only thing that actually made sense this episode is Ashley - her taking Gen V makes a lot of sense simply because she would die anyway - better die a supe |

Championhala: A normal person can never stage an assassination attempt so we are always left with [b]psychopaths and actors [/b]because they can pull it off without batting an eye Which psychopath or actor has ever staged an assassination? 👀 Which psychopath would stage an assassination and put his life at risk to an unprofessional 20 year old who can't shoot to save his life |
Foreign Affairs › Re: Donald Trump Shot At Pennsylvania Rally by Illusioneffect(m): 8:03am On Jul 16, 2024 |
Championhala: Thank God u said urself trump is an actor who can probably do anything for the votes. It may be him or another person who just hates him for no reason but it certainly isn't sleepy Joe. He has more to loose than gain, if the attempt was successful then Joe would have kissed the presidency goodbye because he will always be the first suspect  Your point is actors are more likely to stage an assassination than normal people 👀 how can you be so daft boss |
Foreign Affairs › Re: Donald Trump Shot At Pennsylvania Rally by Illusioneffect(m): 10:40am On Jul 15, 2024 |
Championhala: except if trump was wearing a bullet proof vest once a high caliber sniper bullet shot him around the chest region he wouldn't make it And another hypothesis if u're around 78 and a bullet u know nothing about grazed ur ear will u still have the courage to stand up, u may even faint on the spot from the anxiety You forget Trump is not just a politician but an actor and celebrity - he's born for theatrics - you'd notice he could barely stand, if you looked through the video, he was breathing very heavily but he thought this was a chance to also tell his people he was fine

NOwazobia: I like Trump than Biden.
But this whole shooting event seems to me like a charade.
I don't believe that sh!t to be an accident.
Politicians; I fear them than the devil. So your saying is Trump made sure the shooter got him right in the ear for clicks and votes.

Salowise: I think it's staged, an assassin that's ready to kill him will shoot straight to his chest. But if it real, he's a very lucky person. You're just dumb, you really think former presidents go around in public without bullet proof vests. Also, the shooter was not in front but at the side |

nairaman66: Witness says warnings were ignored Those who attended the rally itself were asked to pass through metal detectors to ensure they were not bringing any weapons, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported. But the gunman believed to have fired the shots could clearly be seen crawling around with a rifle on top of a nearby building for several minutes, one eyewitness told the BBC. The witness, who called himself Greg, said warnings that he and others gave were not acted upon by police, who he suggested did not know “what was going on” and had poor visibility of the rooftop. The suspected gunman - who has been named by the FBI as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks - also appears to have been caught on camera lining up his shot, in footage obtained by TMZ. One spectator was killed and two others critically injured before the gunman was himself shot dead. Trump was also injured in the ear. State police have said it is “too early” to determine exactly what happened. Trump’s life might have been saved by the fact he ducked after the first shots were fired, said David Dunn, a professor of international politics from the University of Birmingham. In that respect, he “clearly had been well trained by the Secret Service”, Prof Dunn told BBC Radio 5 Live. Before being whisked away in a car by agents, Trump rose again to pump his fist before the crowd.
Culled from BBC. Read and be enlightened! Trump’s security apparatus were warned before the attack but they ignored! It was all planned!
Also, Trump's 'security apparatus' is the Secret Service : who are government officials - if the secret service was in on it - that means they're definitely against HIM not the other way |
Foreign Affairs › Re: Donald Trump Shot At Pennsylvania Rally by Illusioneffect(m): 7:18pm On Jul 14, 2024 |
Championhala: This is planned, trump has more to gain from this assassination attempt than the opposition, because even if he died the opposition will always be accused so it's a risky move on their own side (which they won't be willing to take) If the assassin really wanted to kill him he would have aimed for the heart(chest) Dumb man speaking. How would he aim for the heart when he wasn't facing Trump but positioned himself from the side. Also, head injuries are more fatal and has more likely outcome of death or paralysis. Do you think if he managed to shoot Trump on the head Trump would survive? Or maybe he was aiming for the ear😂?😂 Please have wisdom |

After all your story, it doesn't make up to the fact that it was staged. It's like you didn't watch the video. If it was staged, the shooter would aim directly at Trump's body not his HEAD! Do you think the shooter was aiming for his ear?!!!! If the shooter was aiming for Trump's head, you really think Trump would have survived a head or neck injury?? And you also think the shooter thought he was going to survive killing the former president because no shooter would not have an escape route?? Please don't be dumb. Thank you |

Longlegs is performing fantastically at the box office. Solid even for an R rated horror. MaXxine seems to suffer for it. I'm not surprised, the marketing of the movie has been nothing short of amazing |
