The Great (2020–2023)

Surprising

[9/10 · 18 November 2020]

I did not think I would find interest in the millionth adaption of some European monarch's life and I have never thought I would be able to ignore historical inaccuracies in a period series, but apparently if the show does not claim to tell historical facts, I can. Brilliant show with a refreshing take on organizing a military coup.

The Spanish Princess (2019–2020)

should have checked the reviews first

If you know absolutely nothing of this era, this is your show. If you do, you must ignore the very obvious historical inconsistencies.

Honestly, why? They have the money. The history is very interesting on its own. I am so disappointed, Catherine of Aragon deserved better.

Game of Thrones (2011–2019)

A story is only as good as its ending

[1/10 · 13 May 2019]

And this one sucks. The last two episodes ruined years of build up so badly that I can't find the words to describe it. I mourn for the years I invested in this show and hope that the books have a better ending.

A Star Is Born (2018)

Mediocre

[4/10 · 7 November 2018]

Do you want 2 hours of Cooper drinking, and Lady Gaga being herself with really cheesy pop music as soundtrack ? This is your movie. The drunkard musician lending fame to fresh face with talent is an overused theme and this version brings nothing new to it. At a certain point you just get so sick of watching Bradley Cooper consume drink after drink. What is moving the plot? Why is every shot a close up? Are we supposed to believe these people have talent despite the awful lyrics they write?

I have not seen the previous version of this movie -just found out there even is one- and I could accurately guess what will happen throughout the movie. Thats how stale it is.

I honestly cannot stress enough how much I regret the 2 hours I can never get back. I'm only writing this on the hopes of saving some people from the same pain.

Pride & Prejudice (2005)

Cinematic wonder

[10/10 · 18 July 2018]

This movie is so well directed, acted and written, it is almost impossible to find fault; unless of course you are an Austenfreak who expects every character and every scene in the book to fit in an 2 hour movie.
