i give it a 5 but +2 so 7 cause i just love sopranos and been hooked watching youtube clips again recently , so seeying all the names and the characters was a blast and kept me hooked watching it all in one go.
it ended weird, as if more is to come, honeslty could have been a full hour longer, so much untouched, so much not explained, so much more potential.
did they somehow sneak pussy back in there playing someone else all old n grey ?

I'm a B movie fan so avoid if you don't like low budget schlock.
---
Superdeep 7/10: A small research team went down below the surface to find out what secret the world's deepest borehole was hiding. What they have found turned out to be the greatest threat in history. And the future of humanity is in their hands.
Not too bad, a russian thriller with body-horror elements. It's low budget but has some great practical effects at times, worth a watch.

---
Deep Mine 6/10: The legend of Yamashita's Gold lures a treasure hunter and his group deep into the Indonesian jungle. Once they are trapped in an abandoned World War II Japanese bunker, they face the terrifying reality that the only way out is to go further in.
Okay this one is super low budget and pretty crappy TV movie quality schlock for the first 30 mins. However from the mid-point on it gets fun and entertaining, its in the vein of the "Outpost" type movies which i consider a good B horror/action franchise.

Josie and the pussycats Rosario Dawson/10
Josie and the pussycats (scenes without Rosario Dawson) 3/10
Adams family (2021) 2/10 a fucking bore, can't figure out who the target audience is.
Belko experiment (5/10) the Hollywood ending ruined it for me.
The sparks brothers 8/10. Different but interesting.
Thank you for smoking 9/10 (rewatch) still so so so good
Dazed and confused 9/10 (can't believe I never watched it before)
Hard boiled 8/10 (rewatch) was a 10 when I was a teen. John Woo memes ruined it for me

Enjoyable movie with hard tonal shift and unnecessary last couple of minutes.

The Many Saints of Newark
Really liked the main cast. It certainly felt quite genuine with some nice little details - lies etc. E.g how Dick was portrayed as a "junkie" later in the series but he really wasn't, his death is portrayed differently too etc...
I wonder who's grave they're digging in the beginning hehe... probably supposed to be Tony's - serves as a backdrop to why we're even there, but it doesn't spell it out, you just have to pay attention and use your imagination, so kind of like the ending of the series.
7.9/10

I really liked the concept of the story, but they really ducked it up. Had acting, weird pacing and just poorly executed.

Free Guy 5/10
Saw it a few weeks ago on yarr version.
Ryan playing the same personality character he does in every movie, nothing unexpected there.
But why does nearly every movie have to have the same old, worn out, predictable every step love story in it? (or two stacked, like here).
I fast forwarded past every part of the story with the two kids after the first 2 'out of game' scene cuts. And pretty much zoned out for the last 10 minutes of the feel good tropey ending.
Very rarely do you find actual just comedies anymore. They are all hamfisted romantic comedies, even if it just an underlying subplot thing. And just a madlib fill in the blank script:
Underdog/awkward/unexpecting main character ____, has _____ happen to them and things go sideways, runs into/loses sexy starlet ____, action and hilarity ensue with a story revolving around furthering the love interest, starlet ____ realizes she really loves/still loves ____ after he's been trying all of the movie to get her. Things work out and world is perfect.
(The worst offender [to me because of my love of the books] and what made me notice it was how they butchered and maimed The HitchHikers book to fit that madlib. )

Louie C.K - Sincerely 7/10 not his best. Too edgy for its own good, it feels a little off sometimes too, things like body language and when to pause and when to move on directly to make it funnier, he usually nails this but not here. His take on himself was the best part, joking about fucking kids and his dead mother, eh, not so much, yes it's controversial but that alone doesn't make it funny, the jokes needs to be way better.
Chapelle - The Closer 5/10. It's a long, long rant against the trans community. I get it that he's pissed (friend killed herself due to them etc etc).. but no, his previous was way better and even that one wasn't as good as some of his earlier stuff.

About the same place I am with it.
Chapelle was never my favorite standups comic or even top 5, maybe in top 10(ish). But I do watch/listen to a LOT of them, so the list of possible places is rather long. (Reason he isnt higher is a bit too much of his older stuff is just the simplistic 'black people be like this, white people be like this' with extra steps. Not that it's offensive, it's just low hanging comedy fruit played out already in every hole-in-the-wall comedy club that offers "you get door fee, we get bar" payment type.)
But after his return, he is slowly getting less funny each time and more just ranting/monologuing and I feel people laugh simply because he is on a stage and a well known comedian.
More than 1/2 of what he said here was not funny. Now not in an I am offended not funny way. Just not haha funny. Like if heard a random nobody comedian at a tuesday night ametuer hour do the same set. I'd just think: MAN, your set really sucks. There seems to be no flowing of the material or comedy in it really. It's just you getting on stage to rant with an inflection in your voice and honed timing of speech, to convey its suppose to be funny.
He is saying things that are decisive, and that some people are scared to voice out loud..granted. But that doesn't make him funny simply because he is a comedian saying it. I even think the material he did, all of it, COULD be funny. Very funny. But he missed that mark on a LOT of it.
He's sort of turned into the comedian version of joe rogan social commentary.

'black people be like this, white people be like this'
Richard Prior & Eddy Murphy made their careers out of this, though. Their shows from the 70s/80s are still fucking brilliant and hilarious.
Considering comedy is usually one of the last mediums fighting back against (the current wave of) censorship, it somewhat makes sense.
Perhaps US comedy (or Chapelle, at least) is just evolving to the Dutch/Flemish form, which is called 'cabaret'.
There must have been a door there in the wall, when I came in.
Truly gone fishing.

Not saying it's not profitable or marketable, or even bad. If it was 1000's of new comer comedians wouldn't keep trying it. Just obvious observational humor isnt my taste.
And Pryor, Murphy, Bernie Mac, Chris Rock, Red Foxx, all the Wayans, and more all did too.
But they all evolved (most of them) about mid career had masterfully reduced it down to sprinkled in as punctuation or reinforcement to a broader theme of self reflection/reflection of life thru 'my life's misery is comedy' stage act. And the struggle of that life and the humor in it WAS from pointing out the differences and wasn't the only trick pony they framed around what you can write up into a 20 minute set from just walking down the street making the most broadest of observations.
Chapelle wasn't just punctuation at some points even up to some episodes of his his show on TV it was the whole paragraph still. (while other episodes was amazing).
Not saying he isn't funny.
I guess best way to put it. I am not one that likes comedy that compels you to say "That's SO TRUE!" or "it's funny because it DO be like that!" after the punchline.
Pryor and Murphy while doing the same color of humor, has very few instances where the setup is to simply lead you to that. They do, but its not the meat of the set/premise.
I'm not offended, off put, marginalized, or ostracized by it. I just don't see anything in it of humor, it falls flat on me.
Sort of Like Katt Williams. Can be funny but I get that "Ok I get it...races are different" after the 15th joke in a row about it. Repetitive iterations of the same joke go stale with me. Why I dont like the Blue Collar Comedy guys..I get it, you are a redneck and talk about how redneck r funnah (and lead you to a "it's funny because it DO be like that!").

I think Chapelle's politics is absolutely spot on, i just don't enjoy it as comedy, only parts of it works and makes me chuckle. It's really more depressing than funny.
Kind of how i felt about Louis CK too, much of his comedy now is just too depressing. While fucked up/depressing things has always been his style he's always managed to mix it up with more grounded stories. I think that mix works better because then the fucked up parts stands out more.

@vurt
Exactly. I'm not arguing the validity of his stance. Hope no one takes it that way of my dislike of his style is based on his stances. I can find things hilarious that are complete opposite of what I align with, if the comedy is there for it to ride on.
But like you, critiquing his ability as an entertaining comic to my tastes personally.
And Im same with Louis CK, he was one of my favorites for a while. But started slipping off that list about a year before his whole scandal/situation hit. And a LOT more after it. Cannot blame him really, but my enjoyment of your comedy is not based around the empathy I may have for your reason for being bad at it now 
One of the only currently working comics that are in my top 5 is Bill Burr. The rest are either dead, not doing standup anymore, or rarely do appearances now a days.

Copshop - 5.5/10
When it delivers it delivers great and that's the action department. Somehow fails all other things. A weird beast this one.
Injustice - superheroes' retardness/10
It reminded me why I hate mainstream comic books. It was somehow entertaining but like in mentally challenged way.

Dune
8/10
Visually stunning, and an okay story so far. Never seen the old one or read the books. He really got the sense of scale perfect. Not that much of a fan of Hans Zimmer his work, it wasn't bad but it was a bit to much sometimes and definitely not memorable.
