1 point for Alaqua Cox and 1 point for Vincent D'Onofrio, the script ruined the show
19 March 2024
Warning: Spoilers
My Lord! What a nonsense mess!

It is really hard to watch, the main character has no charisma (sorry, but it is true, althought it is not like John David Whashington who has zero charisma no matter what he does) because is always angry with a face expression of disgust.

The plot has so many unexplicable holes that it is almost stupid.

Sorry, I love Marvel and I love almost all of their movies but this one is really unsmokable (as we say in Spain).

The Kingpin charachter is so important in Marvel and specially in Daredevil that it is almost an insult what they have done to him in this show.

The explanation of why the grand mother abandonned her orphan grand daughter is cruel and nonsense "because yo looked so much alike my dead daughter" hello! She is her daughter, who would you expect her to look alike? Rihanna? Come on!

And the story of her superpowers is the stupidest of all times.

Every ancestor was regular women with no powers at all, how can they send Echo something they didn't have when they were alive now that they are ghosts???

And the final thelepathy therapy, like if Echo were Professor Xavier, an expert telepath, when she has just found out about her powers only five seconds ago... COME ON!!!

I actually don't understand why they are hiring so much mediocres writers, the success or failure of any story is in the script. Please, invest more in good writers and less in special effects I give it 2 points, one for the Alaqua Cox and another one for Vincent D'onofrio, they are great professionals and did the best they could.

An absolute must seen masterpiece
27 February 2024
This is a must see movie.

A 100% masterpiece.

This is one of the rare cases in which you don't need to know anything about the movie because is simply perfect.

The director/writer has achieved (again, as this is a sequel of campeones) to show the perfection of this nonperfect world, the excellence of good hearts, the greatness of living life as it comes and always with good humour, kindness and good intentions.

No matter the difficulties of life when you have a pure heart and join other people with good hearts too and never give up on your goals nor your principals.

If you want to enjoy the best side of human beings this is your movie.

An extraordinary gift of love and generousity to the world
13 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
This is a must see film.

Mr Jonah Hill, an absolute megastar who has proved being an extraordinary actor as great in comedy as in drama movies has not only proved being an extraordinary director and writer with this movie but an extraordinary human being.

Jonah Hill in his private life found a treasure, the very same treasure everybody would like to find, much more important than money, power, health or love, an actual map towards true happines.

He could have kept it for himself but instead of that, he decided to share it with the whole world by making this film.

You won't find nothing in this film but love, generousity, bravey, honesty, altruism, sincerity and total naturality.

Jonah Hill opens his heart without fear while shows us the therapy and therapist that helped him to deal with life problems that anybody can be struggled with and gives us the tools that helped him.

A vast and wise knowledge of an uncommon therapist developed through his personal life and is given to us in an admirable act of infinite true love and generousity from the actor and his friend/therapist.

I can't imagine a better way of being than giving to strangers that you will never meet the map to happines by naking your soul.

Thank you Thank you Thank you Jonah Hill.

On the Fringe (2022)

Bravo Bravo Brsvo. A total must see masterpiece
12 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Juan Diego Botto conquered my cinema soul as an actor in the movie "Martin Hache".

Now he has conquered it as a director and writer with this wonderful movie.

It is an absolute masterpiece. I am from Spain and it shows the current drama about the economic crisis and the thousands of families that have been removed from their homes by the banks, the very same banks that we all rescue with our taxes everytime they make millionaire mistakes.

They show no mercy with the families, shame on them. They even take them out of their homes but not cancel their debts, uncomprehensible in other countries.

The film shows this using strong and greatbuilt characters extraordinarily performed by Luis Tosar and Penelope Cruz (as they always do as the absolute megastars of the screen they are).

The script shows the values a single person (a real hero) must have no matter what when vulnerable people are in trouble. The hero (Tosar) sacrifices his time, energy and relationship in order to help a single mother not to loose her daughter into the satate wheels.

Penelope (the best actress of all times Spain has given) nails her character with contained despair and constant corageous fight for her family in harsh times by never giving up.

It is directed with soberty and bravery by Botto.

Every single scene has the power of a full story itself and all of them together complete a wonderful puzzle of hope, despair, commitment, values, community, good people, the almost colapsed system, unjustice and, above all, the greatest thing that a human being can make in this life : fighting for the people in need even when the battle seems lost and the price is high just because is the right thing to do.

Bravo Bravo Bravo.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

I love the walking dead comics.

I love the walking dead tv show.

I love fear the walking dead tv show And I was afraid of not loving as much the 2 spin offs, dead city and daryl dixon because they wouldn't reach the same quality level as their main source.

My fears were not right.

I love the 2 spin offs.

They don't only keep the same quality level but they dear to expand the views of how the zombie apocalypse affected to two capital cities, New York and Paris.

These 12 episodes are a real gift to all the fans of the walking dead who were really sad because they ended the show after 11 wonderful seasons.

Specially beacuse we had to say goodbye to our favourites characters after more than a decade sharing their adventures.

Daryl, Negan, Maggie and Carol were the best of all of them, and now they are back with their own storylines, marvelous written, exceptionally performed and beautifully shot. Not small budgets, they have spent and incredible amount of money, time, energy and illusions and we can see the wonderful and delicious outcome. Totally masterpieces of the show.

Specially thankful to the main stars, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, you are wonderful people full of generousity for these gifts to all of us.

Incoherent and nonsense script full of incongruences. An insult to audience intelligence
31 October 2023
Warning: Spoilers
To me, the worst thing a movie, a tv show or a book may have is an incoherent story. And this story is the most massive example of incoherence I have ever seen (with permission of Lost, of course).

First massive mistake is the time machine, how do they know the exact date they will arrive when they travel in time?

And, why that 4 exact dates and no others?

Second massive mistake is why the scientist shows up 4 times and the other travelers don't, they only show up once and they do it in the date they need.

Third and most massive mistake : the father makes the son, the son makes the father... which means the main character is his own grand grandfather, this is so against all logic concepts that is insulting.

Even if they didn't made this 3 mistakes, the 4 storylines about the dead body are nonsenses, if the cult were so powerfull they could have killed all the cops at the beginning of their investigations.

And how the 15 years old homeless kid becomes the architect of the new utopic society?

How he doesn't own his own time machine?

How he knows how to create a weapon of mass destruction in 1941?

How does he find the economic records from 1800's and memorize them in orther to become rich?

It's all so stupid that, again, is insulting audience intelligence.

Totally non coherent script
5 October 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Nadie te salvara I liked the idea of a movie with no words. It makes it availabe for every country without any necessity of subtitles.

I love the movies in which the main character is a strong woman against a most superior enemy.

What i can't stand is a movie with no coherence in their characters.

If you show aliens as home intruders with zero empathy for humans and the first half of the movie they are chasing the girl like predators, you simply can't show them at the end of the movie as telepaths full of empathy and compassion. It just make no sense at all.

The only thing I would save from this movie is the extraordinary performance of the actress and the special effects.

The Beasts (2022)
2/10
Too slow, unnecessary long and no remarkable message
2 September 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I am sorry but I didn't like this movie at all.

It is too long and too slow, and there are too many unnecessary scenes to show the same fact.

The different languages make the movie really anoying and a tedious to be watch.

And the last hour is totally surreal. There is no way police officers don't find the corpse specially when the killers didn't bother to move it from the crime scene.

The man was walking to his home so it must have been by force in the looking for zone when the wife denounce his disapearing.

And how are they going to be incriminated?

The man was fat and his heart stopped, there were no wounds of any kind, they just sat on his chest until he stopped breathing.

And after a year dicompousing in the woods what proof of crime have the police rather than a heart attack?

If only the card were still working but no.

What is the learning?

Follow your dreams, work hard, be patient, establish dialogues with your enemies, try to empathyze with people who hate you, try to be reasonable, try to make peace even when they have almost ruined your business, be smart and tape all the abuses, go to the police... that your reward will be that you will be killed by this beasts?

I loved "the kingdom" and that is why I watched this movie till the end, otherwise I would have stopped it at the first hour.

And the sound is really sad, when the actors speak in spanish is mostly non understandable... and I am from Spain!

On the other hand actors were absolutely perfect!

Quicksand (2019)

Not worthy waiting 6 episodes for this poor and nonsense explanation
20 August 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I think the script has some plot holes that takes credibility to the story.

The story about the narcisistic seducing first and them abusing of her girlfriend is very well built.

The shooting episode is the one that makes no sense.

The shooter is a millionaire who were treated by the rest of his classmates like the king of parties. There is no trigger that explains why the anger in order to kill them at all.

And the reason why the main character shoots her friend it is only because she is just placed behind the shooter, really too much bad luck.

It is really not worthy waiting 6 episodes to find this out.

A must-see. Johns Hopkins should be condemned to pay billions in order to warn other greedy and corrupt to not dare to make this injustice happen again.
19 August 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This is a must-see marvelous documentary.

This is the only way that vulnerable and humble people who trusted their children's care to the doctors can fight against the unjustice system.

Doctors didn't make their job ignoring the medical history and the patient's own words and pain.

Social workers are pure evil : 10 minutes listening are enough to tear a family apart?

Ignoring the expert doctor that treated Maya for years?

Accusing the parents of making up their daughter's symptoms?

Writing reports in order to deny even telephone contacts with her mother?

Poor Lucifer, you are an amateur compared to these monsters.

And the doctors from Johns Hopkins hospital, denying the very same illness they are charging for in the bills?

Greedy and cruelty, that hospital deserves to be closed after paying billions to all the families they have destroyed for money and/or unprofessional fast judgments.

Shame on you.

And the judges that accept to dely the hearing are miserable and obviously paid by the hospital, you are so corrupt and despicable.

And the judge that didn't even allow the mother yo hug her daughter is so evil and infamous that if he had just a little decency he would do what he made to do the mother. But that would require to have conscience, heart or dignity, and monsters like this don't know anything about this concepts.

And after reading some bad reviews it is obvious the kind of people that are writing them. It is the poor effort of Johns Hopkins to decrease the 10 that deserves this documentary.

Nobody with a bit of soul and dignity can judge this film negatively.

All the records and videos are genuine true because they would have been denounced if they weren't.

And assuming all of this is true the only possible conclusion is the failure of the system in protecting the children, the abuse of power and greed of Johns Hopkins hospital, the evilness of the social workers and judges that appear on this documentary

Congratulations to all that made this possible, you are pure goodness and fight f8r the ones that cannot fight for themselves.

All my love to Maya and her family, especially to her heroic mother, and to all the families hurt bu this unfair system.

And a warning to all that hurt children by using the system in order to destroy their families.

Jesus were all love and comprehensive but when it comes to children he was clear, he said : "Beware the one who dares to hurt one of my little ones, it would be better for him to tie to his neck a millstone and throw himself to the river"...

You all know who you are, and thanks to this documentary we all know who you are too.

Best Action Scenes ever, Worst Script ever at MI saga
3 August 2023
Warning: Spoilers
As a filmlover, when I watch a movie of Tom Cruise I know he has put his whole heart and body in every single detail of every single scene.

The first 6 MI movies are just perfect, specially the 5th and the 6th.

This 7th movie is not as good as the past ones... by far.

I gave a 7 because of the perfect aspects it has :

Actors are absolutely perfect on his roles and performances.

Cinematography are as beautiful as it can be, the close ups of Plom, Vanessa, Hayley and Rebecca shows their extreme charisma and beauty as Velazquez would have shown if he had lived nowadays (the light, the colours, the framing) absolutely perfect.

The stunt scenes are undoubtely the best of all times ever shot in a movie.

The train scenes are astonishing and beautifully shot but completely unnecessary and unbelievable in the story.

If everybody knows which train they must be in, were there no easier way to get in than jumping from a mountain with a parachut?

And the bombs in the bridge...how and when Gabriel installed them?

What would have happened if he got the keys after they have passed the bridge? Weren't it be much more easier an useful putting a bomb IN the very train that he can make explode the moment he run away with the keys?

And his escape point is also very useless if he hadn't got the keys before they had passed it.

The script... the very most important soul of any story that deserves to be told is weak at best.

The enemy is an A. I. with its own personality that has done nothing remotely harm to anyone, but the heroes want to destroy it. The very concept of an A. I. is uncomprehensible for the 99% of the population (me included) because no one really knows how it may work or what can it do.

The things we don't understand frighten us but it doesn't necessarily means that they are dangerous or evil at all.

From the beginning of the movie, the entity is fully operational and we can see how it controls the satellites and may even duplicate voices and hacking FMI software, but it doesn't use its abilities for destroying banks' information, shutting down power plants, making explode nuclear power stations, or even crashing planes by controlling their software. The A. I. only fights against people who want to destroy it, it is just fighting for its own survival, like any living being would do.

And the goal of the mission is finding 2 keys that works in a sunken submarine (no one knows where) in order to get the original software of the entity so they can use it to control the A. I.

That A. I. has evolved and rebealed against its creators by constantly rewriting itself in orther to be stronger an better.

How the FMI are going to hack this A. I. that has already beaten its own programers? Unbelievable Nonsenses.

An absolute masterpiece. Congratulations
24 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
An absolute masterpiece.

When you watch a movie twice in a row is a perfect movie.

This is the perfect ending for a perfect franchise.

Keanu Reeves is absolutely amazing in all the fighting coreographies.

The story has everything you expect in this charachter's odissey.

You can find new charachters with past and conflicts related to the ones we already know very well explained.

Bad guys are misserable traitors with no honor at all till the end and honourable roles are like knights of the round table.

Fighting scenes couldn't be better shot nor performed.

Tenssion and rythim increases without stopping any moment.

And there is an astonishing care about the cinematograph labour. Every single shot is the most beautifully, coloured and lighted as the scene requires.

You can find all the ambiences and colours in just one movie,

from the shinning yellow sands of the desert to the dark greens of the continental hotel at New York, from the warm oranges from Paris to the elegant fluorescents reds and blues of the continental hotel at Osaka, from the sad greys of the cemetary to the dark and cold colours of the atmosphere from Berlin.

Every single shot should be put in the Louvre, the Prado or the Metropolitan Museum as pieces of art altogether with the Velazquez, Van Gogh or Monet paintings.

Congratulations to everyone who have contributed to this film and franchise, you have achieved a masterpiece of entertaining, a perfectly balanced epic action story between honourable heroes and miserable villains, told with the most beautiful images ever shot.

I have watched the four films in a row and they match as a perfect clockwork mecanism.

The Idol (2023)

Perfect portrait of a narcisist monster. A must see
23 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I have just finished the third episode and I think it is a must-see show for everyone.

All the cast are absolutely perfect.

Lily-Rose Depp proved to be a Hollywood star from the very first scene by expressing all range of emotions in just ten seconds... amazing. She is so natural in every scene that it looks like a reality tv show of a famous singer.

All the bad critics might be because she is extremily sexy all the time and she has no problem in showing her nipples... get over it envy women and misoginist puritan men.

Hank Azaria is absolutely funny and superb in his manager role.

At the beginning it looks like the show shows how musical industry sexualize beautiful young women and it does it with care and exquisite taste.

But the main plot of the show and the reason why I say that everybody should watch it is because it is the story about how is narcisist are in actual life.

The weknd performs the narcisist boyfriend so accurate that scares. He is manipulative, sadistic, controller, cruel, cold, so smart that gets a famous, rich, beautiful and powerful, young woman to give him the absolute control of her life.

Narcisists are people with zero empathy extremily inteligent and experts in disguising cruel and sadistic control under the mask of devoting love and great sex.

Most of the killing cases in which a man kill his wife or his girlfriend are because they are narcisists.

That kind of monsters are very common nowadays and this show is a great guide of their skills at manipulation.

And sex is absolutely fundamental in their protocol of washing the brains of their victims because of the endorphines liberated during the act.

This endorphines are the same as the ones liberated by drugs and that is how the victims loose their will in favour of their sexual partners.

This show could save many lives by teaching the red flags we all should know in order to recognize this dangerous monsters before they sink their lethal claws.

Black Mirror: Joan Is Awful (2023)
Season 6, Episode 1
10/10
The only genuine black mirror episode of the whole season
19 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Yes, this is the only episode of this season genuine from the black mirror saga because it is original, creative, very funny, has a message about how the I. A. and technology can destroy our intimacy and our lives, a message about the jeopardies of not reading the contracts before signing them up, great performances (Salma is deliciously funny) and a good ending.

The other four from this season are simply not black mirror at all.

The second one is just a story about serial killers with a plot full of holes without any technology and placed in the present.

The third one (the most unnecessarily sadistic, violent and gore of the saga by far) is placed in 1969 with future technology.

Is like shooting a movie about Lincoln using computers.

The fourth one is about werewolves, no technology (only current digital cameras) and also placed in the present time.

The fifth is placed in 1979 and is about a demon and a stupid rule about apocalypse and the only technology shown is a wall wired telephone.

You can't sell a show without jedis, lightsabers, spaceships, robots nor aliens and instead place vampires, demons and zombies and call it star wars.

It is an absolute rip off.

1/10
Not black mirror at all
18 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
No no no

Definitely this is not black mirror.

Not its essence not its plot quality this show used to have.

This fifth episode is so simple and basicly predictable that you don't know if crying or laughing.

The last killing the main character has to make is stopped by a police officer using only his words! He doesn't even take his gun to threat the girl with the hammer!

And she stops!!!

Despite of knowing if she doesn't finish the killing the world will end by midnight!

Nonsense.

The only episode I love is the first one, that is the only one which deserves to be called black mirror.

The second, fourth and fifth have nothing to do with future technological issues nor with current technology at all. They are only bizarre horror bad stories about serial killers, werewolves and demons.

The third one is not placed in the future but in the past 1969 with NASA futurisric technology which allows astronauts to use replicas of themselves to live on earth while their actual bodies are on space.

An Ilogical advanced technogy in an era that doesn't even have mobile phones.

And the only reason to be in 1969 is to use the manson family kind of psychos... as if there are not psychos in the future!!!

1 of 5 episodes was worth to be seen. The other four were like the worst episodes of an horror tv serie B show.

No no no.

Not a black mirror story at all. Creepshow at best.
18 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This is the second episode in the entire show that has nothing to do with future technologies, the first one was the 6x02.

We have been waiting four long years for this season and in the second one we get a bad story about serial killers and in this episode we get another bad story about paparazzies and... werewolves???

So very much dissapointed.

Those two episodes were like taken from the creepshow series, they don't deserve to be named "black mirror" at all.

And the story is stupid at best.

So a werewolfwoman hollywood star becomes sad because she hit and run over a guy?

Seriously?

That is her first victim?

No victims because of her hability of transforming into a wolf during the nights with full Moon?

No armed guards protecting her and warching over her in the cabin?

No doctors armed with tranquilizers guns in order to make her night more bareable?

Doesn't she have money to locke herself in a bunker made of steel during that nights?

Yes, I understand that then this story couldn't exist but if you have been writing a supposed good story for four years you don't come up with a story an 8 year old boy could disarm.

Not a Black Mirror story and a plot full of holes.
18 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Now this is the first episode of all seasons that has nothing to do with future technologies.

This has nothing to do with the universe of Black Mirror or its essence but for mentioning san junipero in the award's ceremony.

And the story has a lot of holes.

There are 3 expert serial killers (they were active for years as they kidnapped, tortured and killed 8 people before the last couple) who were discrete and suddenly they kidnap a couple in the middle of the town and leave their car and stuff in their hotel... what!?

And one of the killers begun talking about the victims in the bar...why?

And the cop got shot by his partner in crime...why?

And then the killer killed his own parents and commit suicide...why?

And the girl's death is not only stupid but completely unnecessary.

Finally the technology on this episode are a dron, a camera and vhs tapes...what???

How is this a black mirror story???

Disgusting nonsense
18 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I'm sorry but I'm not buying it. A good movie or episode is one you would like to watch again... not the case.

First of all, Netflix should warn about a kind of content so violent and horrible. When you choose to watch Dahmer or Ted Bundy or Manson's crimes movies, you are ready to be shocked but you are not in the case of a tv show about how tecnology can make our lives miserable. This kind of content should be warned at the beginning of the episode. Not only one but two families slaughtered...c'omon!!!

Now the story is nonsense.

No sense in sending to space the humans instead the replicas at all.

No sense in not having more than one replica of each pilot preventing any failiure.

No sense in not having an alert alarm installed in the replica to warn the NASA in case of emergency.

No sense in not aborting the mission inmediatly after a trauma like that.

No sense the ending at all.

There was no signs of psychopathy in the character of Josh Harnet.

Ok the trauma was horrible but the decission of slaughter the wife and the kid of his copilot was too surrealistic and unbelievably ilogical.

It would have made much more sense letting his copilot die out of the spaceship and using his replica in order to enjoy his life than become a slaughterer of a woman and her little son.

The pilot became even more evil than the secta guys who killed his family. These crazy people did it because they believed in a cause, he did it just because of envy.

Sorry but I'm not buying it at all.

ANODINE AND BORING FILM
7 June 2023
An anodine film, boring as hell. Another example of how spanish filmmakers don't need to tell interesting stories because they don't risk their own money.

In Spain goverment pays all the movies made before they get shot. So the profits are already earned before filming a single scene.

There are exceptions but 9 of 10 spanish movies are simply people telling stories without any interesting message and empty characters performed by actors delighted in working no matter what.

I adore Vicky Luengo but not even that saved the film.

A good film is one you would like to see again and you would recommend to a friend. I am sorry but this is not the case.

WORST MOVIE EVER. ABSOLUTE DISGUST AND NONSENSE
5 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Most disgusting and innecesary film I have ever watched.

I like all kind of movies if they are good. By good I mean a coherence and interesting story well performed and better directed.

Well, this story is absolutely nonsense with no explanation about anything.

Why the timeline is broken several times : unexplaimed.

Why the black rock did all that : unexplained.

Who were the tribe of savages : unexplained

Why people and the dog die and then live again : unexplained

And the gore scenes are totally innecessary and stupid.

The master of terror has became the master of disgust. This film makes the slash movies, the saw saga and the chainsaw massacre movies look like disney movies.

If there is a movie you don't need to watch and you will love to miss it is this one.

Worst movie ever.

THE MOVIE DELIVERS WHAT IT PROMISES
30 May 2023
I have read several bad reviews about this movie. In particular, some criticizing Netflix (it seems that there is an army of mercenary trolls hired to attack everything it does) and others attacking Jennifer Lopez... because she is rich and beautiful! Gentlemen, envy and misogyny only portrays you as pathetic, sad and bitter people who probably have not done anything useful in life except spew poison through their mouths. I read similar reviews of Charlize Theron doing the fantastic Atomic Blonde or Scarlett Johansson playing the black widow beautifully in Iron Man. I guess macho mindless retrogrades can't stand seeing strong women in leading roles in action movies. You are an absolute disgrace to everyone, update or let us enjoy your silence. The movie delivers what it promises. The direction has the perfect rhythm. Impeccable photography. The script is round. And Jlo's performance is simply outstanding. Absolutely believable in every scene, the choreographies of the action scenes are superb, the mother-daughter relationship flows with the characteristic magic of Niki Caro. For me it deserves a 10.

What an incredible oportunity this show has lost. Very sad
12 November 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I honestly envy the people who loved this season.

I just can't bare with the incoherences of the script.

Since June arrived to Canada the show has lost an incredible oportunity to make this character shine as the strong woman she was while she was in Gilead.

The moment she gets freedom could have been used to make an example of what a woman can achieve in a free country as a symbol against the tyrany of the misoginist Gilead.

She had suffered the constant torture of the best patriarcal example we could have and her voice should have been listened all over the world. She could have become the leader we all wanted her to be.

She could have been the voice of all women who have been abused in any way by those miserable men who think that women shoudn't study, shouldn't read books, shouldn't vote or even worst that think that women should sleep with them whether they like it or not.

And what do we have instead?

June has become erratical, hysterical, impulsive and selfish (when she tells the other maids who helped her to kill Fred that she didn't know if she felt like helping them to get their revenge) Serena has become the biggest June's fan (she even calls her "angel") Aunt Lydia has become the maids' biggest defender.

Yes, the very same woman that took Janine's eye off just because she made a joke or wanted her dead by stoned in the first season.

And Commander Joseph sends people to kill June!!!???

Yes, the very same person who risked his own life saving Emily and Nicole and then helped June to make possible the angels' flight, now is her worst enemy???

This is sad, really really sad.

You can't pervert the very essence of the main characters and transform all of them in the oposite of how they were when they started at the beginning of the show.

And the final of this season is the biggest unfunny joke of all.

Serena asking for diapers to June as a symbol of her new friendship at the beginning of their new life as fugitives far from Gilead or Canada. So, from a macrostory about a woman fighting against a misoginist dystopia this has become a thelma & louise show with babies.

Seriously?

Amazing!

The best Thor movie of all!

Tons of funny and emotive moments mixed with superheroics battles between gods.

Chris Hemsworth is fantastic, no one could wear that colored suits better than him and look real, fun and deep, superpower and vulnerable at the same time.

Natalie Portman is a delight as goddes of thunder.

Tessa Thompson charisma simply fulls the screen in every scene she appears.

And Christian Bale makes an extraordinary job being able to make us hate him to death almost the whole movie and turning that hate into forgiven , kind, understanding and acceptance feelings in the last moments.

Taika waikiki has made another perfect movie, a real masterpiece.

My favourite moment of all is when Thor leads the kids to the battle at the sound of November Rain, it seems that Axl Rose words "you're not the only one" were writtem for this movie because of all the Thors that appear in it.

It is really a challenge to make a superhero movie and not being afraid of touching subjects so difficult as cancer, broken relationships, a kid's death, a lover's death, a father's death and leaving the audience with a smile and a great mood.

The greater story of redemption turning hate into love is really inspiring.

And it is the first MCU movie where kids are actual fighters!

Amazing script, Amazing direction, Amazing performances, Amazing cinematography, Amazing score, Amazing rythm,.... Amazing!

The Handmaid's Tale: No Man's Land (2022)

Full of nonsenses and Who is the enemy now?
23 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Questions:

Why the captors caught Luke just to beat him and then release him? Why the car accident if June fix it in 2 scenes?

Why not bringing Serenna to a Toronto hospital to deliver her baby?

What is Serena's fear about being found in Canada as if the Wheelers were almighty and could take her prisoner again from a hospital despite the authorities?

Why the flashbacks from Gilead showing us a complicity between Serena and June, they even smile at each other making fun of Gilead's born ceremony!!!???

The time June was in Gilead never had any kind of complicity with Serena AT ALL!!!

Why the surrealistic conversation about that the baby looks like his father and June explanation that it is evolutive "in order parents don't kill their babies"!?

Why the Serena's question about if the baby would be like his father as if she didn't want him to?

In what moment of the serie Serena expressed dislike about Fred!'s way of being?

Why the stupid conversation about June is taking Serena's baby like if Serena couldn't live as a refugee in Canada with her baby like June does with Nicole?

And the end of the episode is simply stupid and nonsense, when Emily crossed the border from Gilead to Canada with Nicole she just had to ask for protection and she was received as a hero, Can't Serena ask for the very same protection instead of being treated like an ilegal inmigrant!?

Above all, the Luke's explanation about Serena gave up her diplomatic status when she abandoned her residence (because June was shooting a gun) is not only incongruent but false to the bones. No diplomatic loose his status no matter where they go within the country that has given them their status.

Final Reflexion:

Where is this story heading to?

Serena now admires and loves June as much as to give her the baby, she even thinks June is an angel!

Aunt Lidya is now regreting her actions and wants to fight for the handmaids' rights Puttman is dead.

Fred is dead.

Who is the enemy now?

The Watcher (2022– )

No closure at all and 90% is not based on actual events.
20 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
You can't fool the viewers telling us the story is based on real events if you are making up the most important surprises you are showing in your show.

Yes, the actual family received scary letters, but that's all.

The whole story about a father who killed his entire family in the very house never existed.

The strange girl who appeared in the marriage bedroom never existed.

The satanic cult that drinks baby's blood never existed The misterious tunnel in the basement never existed.

The family who lived before in the house in actual life had no troubles at all, they only received one letter just before they sold the house after living there for 23 years!

You can make whatever scyfy-horror-mystery show you like but don't call it real events in order to gain more viewers. That's a simple lie or a oon to raise the audience ratings.

But above that being a lie, what you can never do is throwing all of these subjects to the viewers' faces and not giving a closure to any of them!

What were the community purposes?

Why the father that killed his family is still living in the neighbourhood (he can see the house from his window) and nobody but the teacher recognize him?

Why the teacher doesn't call the police about the killer when he realized who he is?

Why are they using the tunnel?

Why is there a room in the tunnel if they ones that are using it have their own houses at the end of the tunnel?

What do these community people do for living if they spend the whole day watching their neighbours?

Does the main character become crazy or became the new watcher or is he watching the new owner because he suspects he is who sent the letters?

What happened with the actual watcher?

Is he writting letters to the new owners?

What is the explanation about the ghost girl who got in the house?

Why the killer father introduced himself breaking in the house during the day, to make a sandwich that he doesn't finally eat?

What is the story about the satanic cult, was it real (in the show), did the kid actually saw them drinking blood?

Why the killer father drained the blood from their family, where did that blood went?

None of the multiple storylines ended at all with a minimum explanation.

The only conclussion we get is that watching this show is a perfect waste of time.
