Challengers (2024)

One of the best movies I've seen since Triangle of Sadness

[9/10 · 18 May 2024]

I'm giving it 9 out of 10 because some pauses were way too long, but they reached their purpose in making the spectator engaged with the story and anxious to see the development of the scene. Great plot, filming and acting. The story is non-linear and a bit confusing at times, but overall the movie works well. It would be even better if the story was more linear or if there wasn't so much stalling between past and present scenes and all that. The aging of the characters was very well done and that helped a lot. It explores sexuality and competitiveness in a way I've never seen before and I'm excited to watch it again.

Bar Fight! (2022)

Promising cast, but lacks a lot of elements.

[5/10 · 31 January 2023]

I feel like the events and key moments for this film weren't well planned or executed. There were some surprising scenes once in a while, but there just wasn't enough excitement in them and when there was, it quickly faded out. On one minute I was happy that something happened and then the next minute it gets taken away. Kinda upsetting.

A few songs in between scenes would have made a huge difference, but instead there were waaay too many silent scenes that weren't even interesting. A good soundtrack would have set the tone for the film and given more emotion to it.

It's a pitty though, cause the plot seemed kinda fun and most actors are great. It just really lacks some action and more interesting characters. For a comedy movie, there should really be some funny/happy scenes. I didn't come close to laughing once.

The Flight Attendant (2020–2022)

A thrilling adventure with a few loose ends

[7/10 · 9 October 2021]

I thought the series were quite entertaining, but sometimes there's a little too much of some elements. What are all the rabbits and the dead deer about?? There is no explanation of the meaning of those symbols which appeared a lot especially near the end. I thought they were a bit over used, and the same applies to all the scenes between Cassie and the dead guy. I thought it was annoying at one point because I was excited to see what the story was bringing but they kept coming back to the hotel room with the same old dialogs... why keep coming back to a dead person who has nothing new to say...? Anyway, it was worth watching it and I hope they make a second season with some improvements.

The Two Popes (2019)

Great Production!!

[9/10 · 2 February 2020]

I wasn't expecting such an interesting and rich story behind this movie, which also has funny, intelligent, and emotional moments. The acting was simply exceptional and at some points I felt like those were actual popes on the screen. Very well done! I recommend it for everybodyn regardless of their religious point of view.

Living with Yourself (2019)

Nice, but lacks something.

[7/10 · 15 January 2020]

I like the plot of the series, Paul Rudd is a great actor and the effects are really well done, but I thought most of the story was depressing. It doesn't have any laughable scenes and the humour was very scarce. There were so many possibilities of funny situations envolving the twins and that would have made me enjoy the show a lot more.
