Legends of Tomorrow: Pilot, Part 1 (2016)
Archie Sergeant's Reviews
As a pilot for a new show, DC's Legends of Tomorrow had a slow start in my opinion. The episode has a kinda lost pace and can't decide on how fast things should be going. For example when the team split up to explore the 70s, RIP Hunter's crew had a very slow and informational build and intercutting that with what Sarah and the two Rogues were doing was just a weird choice in my opinion. I enjoyed how the team was gathered together, clear and with a nice pacing between the introductions of each character. I had issues with just how plainly Sarah turns into the White Canary because it just felt thrown in so that she would have some sort of suit to wear for the show instead of her becoming it herself and realizing what she is in the universe. The main aspect I notice most is that even with only the first episode I can feel the distinct taste that this show is trying to give its audience, what I specifically mean by that is the fact that it already has its voice and tone to differentiate itself among the other shows. Speaking on the fighting and action, so far its been better than expected. The bar fight scene is a huge standout just because of how fun and in character all of it was, it made sense, plus it was choreographed pretty well. The character's relationships are already starting to grow on me, especially Sarah and Snart. I feel comfortable to be going on this journey with the characters that are on the team this season. Something that also stood out was the fact that the costumes are pretty great still, Kronos looked really badass and threatening and I enjoyed his look a lot. As of this first episode I enjoy the concept a lot. It enables the little side characters of the other "bigger" shows to spread themselves and for us to learn more about who and what they are, and I am more than excited to see where these characters end up going, with each other and in this massive DC Universe.
Searching (2018)
Archie Sergeant's Review of "Searching"
"Searching" had been on my eye ever since I saw a poster for it at my local cinema. I have seen John Cho before but only in his more comical performances in the "Harold and Kumar" trilogy and to be honest I am very glad that I got to witness John Cho's performance in this film. The style of the film might scare you because you might think this to be another "Unfriended" situation but in reality it is far from that. The story is told through the screen of a computer and it is done fantastically, letting you feel as if you are also looking at the screen and witnessing the same things as David Kim is. The music score is perfect and doesn't give crappy emotionless feels to itself. The best part of of the film has to be the story, every part of it makes sense and there aren't a lot of parts that make you need to rethink something. The big twist of the movie is amazing, I haven't been emotional distraught after watching something like this but this did it for me. Not on a sadness side but more of a lost for words situation. Thats about it. I do recommend.
