The first 5 minutes of this were very predictable. You just knew as soon as Hanno kissed his wife that she was going to be gone in the next scene. Add in the overused family tree aspect of the plot that has been done to death and there is more that we've all seen before. It's entertaining, but this film just never came alive for me in the way great movies do. Paul Mescal—who bears a striking resemblance to Daniel Radcliffe—lacks the commanding presence Russell Crowe brought to the first installment. On top of that, the mishmash of accents, with no effort to maintain consistency or embrace Italian authenticity, shatters any sense of immersion the film might have otherwise achieved. It seems like movies aren't even trying to do this anymore unless the actors are taking the place of a historical POC.

This definitely could have gone deeper in to the subject Matt is pushing, but it's still astounding to see how far these race-baiting,self-important grifters go to push their own bigoted and often racist views. I read a comment about someone being unhappy with these people being labelled as grifters. How can you see how those women act at the dinner table and think that what they are doing is anything but? They get paid extremely well for telling people bullshit. They are no better than mediums.

"'90s back to life, with his unashamedly retro debut album, Mann's World."- Allmusic. I don't know what that reviewer was on. Sure, it interpolates some '90s hits, but the sound isn't '90s. It's a mid-late '00s pop rap album. After seeing what I saw about Mann before I hit play, I expected gangsta rap, but this is all radio friendly pop rap. J.R.Rotem produced all of this except one song, so I expected more. It's very generic, and any song closer to a memorable moment is due to the influence of classics like the legendary 'Return of the Mack' by Mark Morrison on 'The Mack,' Best Tracks: The Mack, Wanna Go Back

One of the best comedy specials I've seen. A funny intro and constant laughs throughout with an ode to comedy for its finale. Elvis impersonator aside, that I didn't get the point of, it's a different level than most specials you'll see. Go from Ali Wong's recent one to this, and you'll see the difference in Sandler's comedic talent.

The first thing I remember checking out from DeJ was 'All Jokes Aside', which I enjoyed, but since then, nothing has grabbed me. This hasn't bucked the trend. She has an element of originality in her style, but her music has often just bored me aside from the aforementioned mixtape and her "Whoa" adlib has become quite annoying. Best Tracks: GOOD A$$ DAY
