The Sinner (2017–2021)

Intriguing Serie that will get you hooked!!

[9/10 · 23 June 2019]

These 8 episodes are an emotional roller coaster so be ready!

The actions unfold slowly and yet make your interest grow further and further, Jessica Biel's acting is so superb all emotions are directly translated to the watcher. I felt confused, scared and heart broken.

The events and ending are very unpredictable. Highly recommended!

Aladdin (2019)

Awesome adaptation!!

[8/10 · 23 June 2019]

The movie felt so nostalgic and exciting! I would have given it 10 stars if it weren't for the underwhelming "A Whole New World" and slight bollywood touch and feel.

Aladdin is set in Agrabah, therefore the bollywood magic was not in the right place. Trust me I live in an Arab country!

Otherwise, the acting was splendid! Mena Massoud looked so much like Aladdin with the charming smile and similiar attitude, Naomi Scott was so beautiful and her voice is breathtaking and Will Smith as the Genie added a really nice touch to the character and he was very funny!

The new songs added for Jasmin were catchy and a great addition. The magic of Aladdin was there and the Nostalgia will hit you right up.

I loved it so much I will definitely re-watch it!

Don't listen to critics, give it a try.

Who Would You Take to a Deserted Island? (2019)

Only watch if you are bored!

[3/10 · 18 April 2019]

I have started watching Spanish movies and series lately and I have to admit they are amazing. Movies like "The Invisible Guest" and "Mirage" and series such as "Elite" and "La Casa de Papel" were great so seeing Maria Pedraza and Jaime Lorente from both "La Casa de Papel" and "Elite" in this movie immediately made it a "must watch" for me.

At first the story seemed interesting and the characters as well, and knowing from the plot that there is a secret to be revealed I was on the edge of my seat.

Once the secret was revealed, it felt like it under-delivered I didn't get the shock sense and in my opinion it was not such a big deal that the whole plot of the money would be based on it.

The ending felt realistic in a way, but the movie had a bland feeling to it, even the great acting couldn't save it.
