The Marvels (2023)
Enjoyable blockbuster
With a short run time, they did very well with the pacing of the film. Bringing in characters from both the tv side and previous movies worked really well to create a story for everyone. Plenty of lighthearted and emotional character arcs that made the film even more grounded then other marvel films with longer run times. Great thing is, there is no need to see any of the Disney plus shows because the film does a great job giving you a brief backstory of Ms. Marvel. The duo of Carol and Monica work great along with Kamala and her family. Plenty of laughter from great one liners that made me leave waiting for the next movie. Can't forget the many cameos!
Prisma (2022)
True love, true heart-brake, true understanding
Very well written. From start to finish, the story arch's of each character is truly amazing and beautiful. It breaks at your heart strings with the understanding that it's no different then real life. Teens trying to find themselves in a world that isn't ready to accept them. Teens trying to balance social life with internal struggles.
The editing, and the directing is by far so amazing. Was great to include it in the backdrop of Italy. I enjoyed every second of this show and really hope there is more to come. The cliffhanger at the end I definitely wasn't prepared for. Too many unanswered questions, I am sure, all of are wiring for.
Secret Invasion: Resurrection (2023)
Enjoyable
Was definitely a slow build. It was hard to really understand some of the character choices for those we've seen in the marvel franchise for a while. I did have a hard time really "believing" one character made a choice the way that they did but as the episode went on....it actually made sense. Keeping an open mind while watching it will make you enjoy it a bit more. Had a few surprises during the episode and hope those surprises keep coming. Even though the episode was almost an hour I really wanted more. I hope with the limited series that there is enjoyed time to strengthen this story to really make it the best marvel show to date. Time will tell.
The Last of Us: Long, Long Time (2023)
Game "enthusiasts" upset over further story telling
I really appreciate this episode. In the game they don't dive deep into Bill and Franks story. It was important in the game to mention these two characters for a reason. It was about hope for humanity in a cruel world that most hadn't seen in 20 years. It was about love that no one has felt in twenty years. Joel had become friends with the two of them and you never reply understood why bill went so crazy when frank killed himself.
I'm glad they went into further detail about them. It made you understand the hopelessness one feels when a world full of hatred, discust and monsters that it's okay to step back and pray life will be as it once was.
Bringing this story to the screen made it better tv watching. I really do believe that this episode is the same as the game but instead of frank killing himself and bill going crazy over it they both kill themselves. Getting upset two men onscreen share a kiss, show that they are partners, explain the connection they have with each other just means you as a person lack creativity and human emotion.
This episode brought it to the table. Gave us material not shown in the game. I'm glad they stuck to the game for the most part other than the way both Bill and Frank died.
Resident Evil: The Light (2022)
"We know what goes on the label"
Really appreciate what they're doing to this show. Showing Umbrella who they truly are. Kind of relates to the real world we're in. They discuss they're in it for the money and that's it, just like google, Facebook, etc. It's an eery thought to wrap your brain around.
Resident Evil: The Devil You Know (2022)
It gets better
Really like the flow. The back and forth before "the end" and after. It's not a quick bite, and then zombie. Slow build, more character development and overall a different take on the resident evil we know.
Resident Evil: Welcome to New Raccoon City (2022)
A different take
I really enjoyed the first episode. The music, the direction and the acting is well done so far
. Really hope they keep it up. People upset because it's not resident evil from the games but resident evil has had several different variations. I like just as much as the first resident Evil movie.
Uncharted (2022)
Chemistry & Direction
The story was good but the chemistry between Wahlberg and Holland was not great. I really do believe this would have made the movie much more enjoyable if they had picked an older actor to play Sulli.
For a game that had cut scenes that really put you in depth with the characters, this movie did not. From the poor use of props to minimal character building I was feeling the sense of "how did we get here?"
Overall the movie was enjoyable and I hope they make another that puts more grounding and effort to establishing the characters and the story to make more sense.
Élite (2018)
So good
Another really good show by Netflix. Let's just hope they don't cancel this one!
