Rush Hour 2

This week on Myopia Movies, we dive into the explosive world of buddy cop chaos with our latest episode on Rush Hour 2. Join us as we unravel the mystery of how Jackie Chan's impeccable martial arts and Chris Tucker's endless chatter somehow make for cinematic gold. We'll explore the finer points of high-kicking action and laugh-out-loud banter, all while questioning why these two keep finding themselves in increasingly ridiculous situations. Spoiler: It's because we love it. Tune in for a whirlwind tour of Hong Kong and Las Vegas that will leave you wondering if you, too, could survive a casino brawl and still have time for a comedy routine.

The Adventures of Pluto Nash

Welcome back to another episode of "Myopia Movies," where we strap in for the cinematic car crash you can't look away from! This week, we embark on a journey to the lunar land of broken dreams and bad investments with Adventures of Pluto Nash.
Picture this: Eddie Murphy in space. Sounds promising, right? Well, hold onto your moon boots because this isn't the star-studded, sci-fi spectacular you might imagine. Instead, it's a $100 million black hole of comedy that makes you question everything—your taste in movies, your life choices, and even the concept of money itself.
Join us as we dissect the plot—or the lack thereof—of this lunar lunacy, featuring a club owner who dreams of… well, owning a club. From the laughable special effects to the "did-they-really-think-this-was-funny?" dialogue, we'll navigate the rocky terrain of one of Hollywood's most notorious box office bombs.
So, buckle up and prepare for a mission to the dark side of the moon, where the only thing lower than gravity is the bar for comedy. Adventures of Pluto Nash: It's out of this world... and straight into the bargain bin.

Unbreakable (2001)

Welcome to another episode of Myopia Movies! This week, we dive into the thrilling, edge-of-your-seat excitement of Unbreakable. Yes, that's right, the 2000 classic where Bruce Willis discovers his superpower: looking perpetually confused and slightly bored. 
Join us as we unravel the mystery of how a movie about a guy who can't get hurt manages to hurt our attention spans. We'll discuss Samuel L. Jackson's role as Mr. Glass, a villain whose evil plan involves extensive knowledge of comic books and a truly enviable collection of turtlenecks. 
Get ready to break down every slow-motion scene, every cryptic conversation, and every moment you wondered if M. Night Shyamalan was pulling an elaborate prank on all of us. Is Unbreakable a misunderstood masterpiece or just an elaborate exercise in testing your patience? Tune in and find out!

Xanadu

This week on Myopia Movies, we lace up our roller skates and journey back to the glitter-soaked fever dream that is Xanadu. Join us as we watch Olivia Newton-John and a surprisingly spry Gene Kelly sing and skate their way through a plot so thin you could roller disco right through it. We'll break down the movie's mix of Greek muses, neon lights, and baffling dance numbers, and ask the burning question: Is this a cult classic or just a 96-minute music video that got wildly out of hand? Grab your glow sticks, because this is one trip to Xanadu you won't soon forget.
