The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: Where the Stars are Strange (2024)
As someone who found the first season mediocre, this is the best episode thus far
Honestly, I am quite shocked by the rating of this episode. The premiere of season 2 was decent (better than most season 1 episodes), while the third episode was possibly the worst of the show. But this one is what the show needs to be. The dialogue is slightly better though it still feels forced. But as a whole, the episode is captivating without having to show epic battles etc. Great pacing, impeccable visuals, improved performances along with an exceptional one from Charlie Vickers. Besides that, there is a legendary scene near the end of the episode which had me dumbfounded in the best way possible. Wishing for the rest of the season to be like THIS. Although after seeing the third episode, it might seem unlikely.
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)
A nonstop adventure full of epic fantasy, hilarious jokes and heart
So glad that this ended up being as good as I expected it . From start to finish , this movie is full of adventure and never loses its steam . The comedy is a straight 10/10 and I can say I am not the only one as the whole audience died from laughing in some scenes . The worldbuilding as I completely newbie in the world of D&D , is absolutely SPECTACULAR . The visual effects most of the times was gorgeous . What surprised me the most tho is how freaking well it was shot and how beautiful the cinematography was . "D&D honor among thieves" is packed with wonderful characters and action and is easily one of the most entertaining movie I have ever seen and I can't wait for the hopefully next installment.
Shut In (2022)
The reviews must be fake right?
From the awful acting to the god awful pace . The lack of sense and the terrible choices the lead takes is really annoying. Everything was bad now that I think about it . Zero suspense , zero interest but lots of utter boringness!! AVOID.
The Father (2020)
A beautiful and depressing masterpiece about dementia
What else should I say? This movie is flawless . Anthony Hopkin's acting in this movie is impeccable and one of the best of his career !! The ending is so touching and sad .
Servant: Doll (2021)
Really good start but..
Servant was one my most anticipated tv shows . And I got to say the start didn't disappoint . Excellent directing and acting . But it's SO short . Look I love series with short episodes but one episode a week ? I hope the other are at least 35 minutes
Seuwiteuhom (2020)
4 episode in review
Wow what a pilot . Thrilling from episode 1 . A love the video game visuals although sometimes its just bad and that monster from episode 1 was terrifying. One more bad thing is the music selection . The first and second episodes were the best so far . The third and fourth were slower
Imawa no Kuni no Arisu (2020)
An intense and addictive show that's somewhat flawed
I have never been a fan of Anime . However I love Castlevenia and Blood of Zeus . I was really excited for this show because of its extremely unique plot . It didn't not disappoint . Let's start with the positives . - The acting is really good from every single cast member . - The character development is excellent . - The action scenes are thrilling . - The gore is used right although I wanted a bit more . - The show is extremely addictive
- The ending is great as well . Now the negatives . - The dialogue is bad . - The show in the middle gets a bit boring . - Some CGI effects are bad . So this show is addictive and I really need season 2 now
Voces (2020)
"Don't listen" is a suspenseful yet predictable horror movie
I was pretty excited about this one because of the really good reviews it got . I must say I wasn't disappointed but wasn't surprised either .
THE GOOD
-The acting is great
-The atmosphere is really creepy and so is the special effects and makeup .
-The first 20 minutes of the movie are shocking and scary
THE AVERAGE
-The jumpscares . At the beginning the jumpscares were great but as the movie progressed they got cheaper.
THE BAD
-The twist was really predictable for me .
Overall you should watch "Don't listen" because it's definitely worth checking out but you shouldn't have high expectations . I am going to give "Don't listen" a 6.5/10
The New Mutants (2020)
Not bad at all!
I quite enjoyed the new mutants . It has nice pace and charac development . It has good acting with the highlight being Ana Taylor joy . The CGI is also really good but on some scenes it's unfinished . The main problem though is that it fells short . Really short . In fact it's like you finished episode 1 of a series . We really need a sequel but we won't have one probably
Run (2020)
Put your brain aside and enjoy
Run is a very good thriller . It has amazing acting from both the actresses . Sarah Paulson was creepy and the girl who played her daughter ( can't remember her name ) was spectacular !! This movie is thrilling and tense but it fails on one major factor . The plot . It's filled with plot holes some minor and some major . That's why you have to put your brain aside for this movie . Nonetheless , it's a great movie
The Exorcist (2016)
Good first season , bad second
I was never a fan of this series . But at least the first season was decent . I have to say that I had a bit too high expectations , because this is not scary at all . On the entire runtime I wasn't feeling scared once . The acting is really good in both seasons . The cinematography is also great . But the story is just so cliché with that TV-14 rating ruins everything .
The exorcist is a forgettable non scary series that has it's ups and downs
Season 1 : 7/10
Season 2 : 4/10
The exorcist
5.5/10
His House (2020)
Stunning visuals , disturbing but cheap jumpscares
Don't get me wrong I prefer jumpscares than gore or movies like Hereditary . But in this one except from 1 or 2 jumpscares the jumpscares were cheap . It didn't make me jump . But the movie is disturbing and ultimately creepy . The acting is spectacular and so are the stunning visuals . What I didn't like , though, was the ending because I was slightly confused . I am going to watch an explanation video and then I may change the score but for now my score is 6,5/10
Blood of Zeus (2020)
Review up to episode 5
I couldn't be more excited for Blood of Zeus and I was worried it won't deliver but it did . Incredible voice acting with great animation and stunning battle scenes with an addictive and impressive storyline . I just binge-watched the first 5 episodes without a single break . The only problem I had was with some scenes where they overused zoom and a particular effect but that's pretty minor
Final Destination 3 (2006)
Criminally underated final destination sequel
Final destination 3 features, in my opinion, the most gruesome , scary and disturbing deaths in the whole saga and that's what made it my top favourite final destination movie
The Visit (2015)
Just good
The acting is great . The creepiness is there . The scares are little . The twists are a lot . The ending is nice . The visit in 5 sentences
Hostel (2005)
Gross doesn't mean scary
Hostel is a very special movie . The main problem is that it takes about 40 minutes to get into the action and by that time I was bored . Nevertheless this movie managed to disgust me and I have never been this shocked . In result of this the second half of the movie is suspenseful . But when the movie ends it fells short and you will probably forget it in a few weeks .
The Purge (2013)
A forgettable mess
Really overrated . The best aspect of the movie might be the acting only because it's watchable . The logic in this film is nonexistent and the story is silly as hell . Horror is the wrong genre , this is more like a comedy!
The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016)
Ultimately chilling
One of the scariest horror movies I have ever seen . Scary jumpscare , disturbing , suspenseful and a super creepy atmosphere . Great beginning and middle but the ending fell short and unexpected but not in a good way
Busanhaeng (2016)
Pure endless fun!
Amazing Korean movie . The actors nail their role , the zombies are really well made , the action scenes are thrilling , the atmosphere is suspenseful , the visual effects are stunning , the movie a masterpiece
Us (2019)
Wait ..... WHAT???
Could have been great but instead it is a confusing mess . Waste of good actors .
Blood of Zeus (2020)
Review up to episode 5
I couldn't be more excited for Blood of Zeus and I was worried it won't deliver but it did . Incredible voice acting with great animation and stunning battle scenes with an addictive and impressive storyline . I just binge-watched the first 5 episodes without a single break . The only problem I had was with some scenes where they overused zoom and a particular effect but that's pretty minor
The Boys (2019)
A season 2 review !!
MIND BLOWING . That's the words to describe season 2 . But I am gonna go a bit deeper . The acting is amazing !!! Anthony Starr is a damn legend and so is Carl Urban . Tomer Capone and Aya Cash are a highlight too . A lot give the boys season 2 1 star because it's slow and they are so stupid. The first episode is definitely not as good as season 1's first episode but season takes time . In fact every episode is slower than season 1 episodes but oh boy are they gory! This season is the goriest I have ever seen since ... Ever! I have ti say season 2 features the best episodes . Episode 3 9/10 , Episode 6 9,5/10 , Episode 7 10/10 , Episode 8 10/10 . Yes it's that good . This show isn't for everyone . Definitely not for children . Huge amount of gore and other disgusting things . But if you can handle the gore , what are you waiting for . Go binge the Boys NOW!!!
The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020)
Superb !
2 hours and 10 minutes yet not a single moment of being bored . Bravo . Amazing acting from each member of the cast . This movie needs to be seen ! And the ending gives me GOOSEBUMPS all over me . Definitely the best movie of 2020
The Haunting of Bly Manor (2020)
Different isn't necessarily bad
The haunting of bly manor on of my most anticipated series of the year . I must say I am kinda disappointed . The show isn't bad at all but you must go with the right expectations. It's not scary or frightening like hill House it's more romance drama . The main problem is the pacing . I think it could be done in 6 episodes not 9 . In addition, it can be really confusing sometimes an in the end you don't know how the whole ghost thing works why do they sometimes see them and sometimes they don't? And I think that's all the bad things . The positives are a lot . Firstly EXCEPTIONAL acting from every single actor . The kids are a highlight though . They are stunning . The cinematography is also visually perfect . The music is great so are the costumes and although not scary there is some creepy imagery . What I also liked is the hidden ghosts . There are over 90 hidden ghosts which makes the atmosphere creepier . But I wasn't connected with the characters I didn't feel that sad at the end like others . I must say , though , I totally went with wrong expectations and that's why I am putting it a 7 and not 9 . The haunting of bly manor is definitely not as good as it's processor but it's still worth checking out
#Saraitda (2020)
A movie that is just enjoyable
Went in with no expectations and i must say i had fun . It was very enjoyable ! Great acting , great make up effects but it lacks on almost everything else . The plot is bad and simple . The ending was really bad and cliché . But the thing that makes this movie watchable is that it is a modern day zombie movie and it makes you care about the characters . Overall just a fun and enjoyable movie
