The Last of Us: When You're Lost in the Darkness (2023)
An instant masterpiece
I have never played the video game "The Last of Us", but after watching the first episode of the TV series, I can confidently say that this show is an instant masterpiece. The acting is top-notch, with Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey delivering powerful performances that had me on the edge of my seat. The world-building is stunning, with the show expertly setting up the post-apocalyptic setting and the characters' struggles to survive. The music and score are beautifully done, adding to the tension and atmosphere of the show. The production and makeup team deserve special recognition for their incredible work, bringing the gritty and realistic world of the show to life.
I was completely engrossed in the story from the very beginning, and the pilot episode had me in tears by the end. The pacing was perfect, and the show manages to balance intense action with quieter, character-driven moments. The show takes its time to establish the relationship between Joel and Ellie, and I can't wait to see how it develops throughout the series.
Overall, I highly recommend "The Last of Us" to anyone who loves gripping and emotionally charged storytelling. This show is a must-watch, and I can't wait for the next episode. The series is one of the best I have ever seen, and it is a perfect representation of the source material.
Bed Rest (2022)
A mix of Suspense and Disappointment
Bed Rest" is a horror movie that had its moments of suspense and thrills, but it also had its fair share of slow and uneventful parts. The acting of Melissa Barrera was a standout for me, and her performance helped to keep me engaged in the story. The themes explored in the movie, such as pregnancy, lost pregnancy and lost children trauma, trust issues and mental health issues, made it more adult oriented and added depth to the story. However, the movie's reliance on cheap jump scares and strange whispering voices and sounds felt overused and detracted from the overall experience. The ending was not as satisfying as I hoped it would be, leaving me feeling a bit underwhelmed. Overall, while "Bed Rest" has its merits, it is not a movie that I would highly recommend.
