The Summer I Turned Pretty: Love Lost (2023)
Summer is back and its a rollercoaster of emotions!
Wow was this episode a rollercoaster of emotions from beginning to end! We pick up right where we left off from season 1. Things move fast in this episode but the pace is perfect and everything makes sense. All the characters give strong performances, especially Lola Tung and Christopher Birney. Their chemistry on screen is natural and its wonderful to watch. The acting is even better than season one and the episode has a lot of heart and emotion. You can just tell that this season will just be a whirlwind of emotions and we are here for it! The cinematography is wonderful and the music is also great. 10/10!
The Last of Us: Left Behind (2023)
What was this?
What even was this episode.........? Was this episode supposed to just be Ellie and some random girl having fun in a mall? I guess it was. If I wanted that I could have gone to a local mall to see some kids fool around. Bright lights in a mall, arcade games, masks and an amusement park ride look good for maybe 5 minutes but not an ENTIRE EPISODE. This episode is the literal definition of filler content. Ellie and some firefly friend of hers sneak out in the QZ at night and fool around in an abandoned mall where something about Ellie is revealed. Unfortunately it does little to add background to Ellie or to advance the plot. All of this could have been covered in 10 minutes and this episode could have focused more on the current Joel and Ellie plot line to keep us engaged.
The Last of Us: Kin (2023)
Another well done episode
Another well directed and beautifully acted episode. People need to stop comparing the show to the game constantly. Try to realize that the show needs to stand on its own too and cannot be a ditto copy of the game you played a decade ago and are too attached too. They are being true to the game and adding new things and styles on top of that. The scene where Joel confessed to Tommy about his fear and insecurities was so well acted by Pedro Pascal. Once again he showed what a talented actor he is. The scene where Ellie confronted Joel about him wanting to leave her with Tommy was also brilliantly acted by both actors. Both once again proving why they were casted in these roles. Jackson and the cinematography in this episode was just beautiful to watch.
Unsolved Mysteries: Abducted by a Parent (2022)
Heartbreaking to watch
This was a different type of episode and in my opinion this was the best episode of season 3. It was gut wrenching to watch from beginning to end. I cant imagine how these parents spend their days knowing their kids are not with them and out in the world somewhere. I hope they can get resolution soon and be reunited with their kids. I hope with this series being out, the cases get more attention and it leads to information about the abductions. I cant understand the low ratings this episode got because it was absolutely captivating to watch and very well done. I am already looking forward to season 4 of this series.
House of the Dragon (2022)
Awesome start!
Episode 1 lays out the plot and the main characters and still has great politics, dialogue and action. Character development is good and we will start seeing their motivations in the coming episodes. Strong start!
House of the Dragon: The Heirs of the Dragon (2022)
Daemon is already a Legend!
Wow, just wow. The cinematography, costumes, special effects, politics and dialog are all just on point. The story is compelling and the characters are all unique and interesting. Thank you for this brilliance since the disaster that was season 8 of Game of Thrones! Rhaenyra is gentle and kindhearted and Daemon is just vicious and violent and you know he will be spilling a lot of blood in the coming episodes. Cant wait to see how this develops. Next week cant come any sooner.
Gladiator (2000)
One of the best films ever made
This film is everything. Its so impactful and emotional that it transcends beyond being just a movie. There is a reason why so many people hold this film so dear to them. The dialogue, costumes, sets, designs, story, characters, music, sound mixing, drama and action are all on point and work together harmoniously to make this film as good as it is. This film came out 22 years ago but its still just as watchable and timeless.
Better Call Saul (2015)
Another terrible episode
Does Vince Gilligan really think we are this into this whole Gene becoming more like Slipping Jimmy thing? Does he really think we like this lame black and white and these lame 'elaborate' and 'smart' stunts Jimmy and these random dudes are pulling off? NO WE ARE NOT.
Another terrible and boring episode. 1/10.
The Summer I Turned Pretty (2022)
Soapy but thats what a show like this is supposed to be!
Yes its soapy and emotional but the cinematography, dialogue and acting is good in this show. The story is fun and engaging and the setting is very picturesque. Its what you would expect from a summer tv show. Normally I am not a fan of shows like this but I did enjoy this one and I will be waiting for season 2!
Jurassic World Dominion (2022)
A disgrace for the fans of the original series
You'll enjoy this movie if you like cringey reunions, kisses, explosions and fire and globe trotting for no reason and of course no plot. For fans of the original: just go watch it to see some Dino's and original cast again just to see how their arcs end. Besides that, this movie is soulless.
I Shouldn't Be Alive (2005)
Great Great Show!
This is an amazing show about survival in the wildernees and some of the most remote places on earth. Part of the series is also on the Wonder YouTube channel these days so you can check it out. The acting is good and the actors match the real people very well. Accounts are told in very good way too and every episode is engaging. You may learn a few things about survival and life as well. This show teaches you that life is never to be taken for granted and one should always live it to the fullest.
Into the Night: Terenzio (2020)
Good show
Good show but I think the ending to the season could have been better. Sudden cliffhanger wasnt the best ending to building suspense from the very first episode. Maybe explain what will happen after or what the people are doing at the facility? Overall, its a good watch and the characters are interesting
Better Call Saul: Bad Choice Road (2020)
All the chess pieces are coming together
You know when in chess sometimes you come up with a strategy and in executing it all your pieces harmoniously come together? This is what this episode was. All the arcs and story lines coming together to give us a blend of this intense episode. Cannot wait for the finale and for season t.
The Lion King (2019)
Ignore the Salty 1 star Reviews!
This movie is a monumental achievement. The landscape, the animals, the voice acting and the music are top notch. Do not listen to those rating this 1. Think about it yourself, does this really warrant a 1? Was it really that bad? People are complaining about this film for NO reason. Go out and watch it and im sure you will have a blast.
