Halo (2022– )

Not bad at all !

[9/10 · 15 April 2022]

Despite some revz, me as a not a fan of losing time with games I saw this new tv show with the hope to see something entertaining, and I did.

When someone see a really good CGI in a tv show?

Not for a long time, and only recently a few came out ok, and Halo is one of them.

And not to long it, all the rest is way over the average.

Boyz and girlz keep watching and you'll see that actually Halo is very much a really good one.

The Problem with Jon Stewart (2021–2023)

11out of 10

[10/10 · 11 November 2021]

Top show, Jon Stewart at his best.

We've miss you Jon baby, now we're happy to see you back.

Keep doing the good work, and shame to the looser/s who gave low stars.

Foundation (2021– )

Remember ?

[2/10 · 6 October 2021]

Remember The Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, or even Orville?

Well... this is not.

I will keep watching to see how the American empire will fall, cos' this is about.

Asimov in his books ( I did not read 'em) was about Roman empire falling, but I have the feeling that is about the yanks.

So let see if this expensive crap will at least teach us ( us, not US) something, or is just another waste of talents and money.

Cruella (2021)

Surprise !

[10/10 · 13 August 2021]

Boy... that was one of the best surprises this year.

I'll tell you folks, just go and see it, worth every buck.

And if I'm right, will be sequel, 101 Dalmatians.

I'm salivating already... And I can see an Oscar coming .

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017)

What the hell ? Some people are so dumb...

[10/10 · 2 August 2021]

Are people becoming dumber and dumber ? Such a good movie, well done in all aspects and the peasants cannot see it ? Of course not, this gem is to heavy for their neuron, if they have one.

Well... then they deserve their " kardashians" (sic) and the likes.

This movie totally deserve my 10 stars.

Guy, mate, if you read this keep doing the rest, you are on the right path. Do not stop just because some don't the allegory of this movie made guess what? After another allegory.

In the end who can be scared by the movie showing people revolting like is 2023 ?

Coming 2 America (2021)

No !...

[10/10 · 5 March 2021]

No, do not believe the ones here who give less than five stars ! That movie is a ten plus to say the least . A sincere bravo to all participating in this movie , from the electricians to all guest stars . I may say that this one was even more entertaining than the first one given the more music and dance . Yes folks, we shall ask that this one shall become a musical on the Broadway ! Go and see it , go and see it for yourselves . It will be the best two hours spent in a long while.

Resident Alien (2021– )

Like it more and more !

[10/10 · 25 February 2021]

Boys 'n gals, watch this, it's funny as ! Dunno ( aussie slang : i don't know ) where to start , but all is just right with this show, if i'll have more than ten stars, i'll give 'em something like 15. Even the missus ( wife ) i start to like her, and yes, i was right , the chemistry is between the daktari (doc ) and the young bloke ( kid ) and even the blokette ( you know ... ) Just can't wait for more and more ! Sci-fi , be smart , keep going 'till it burns out , it it will ever.

Resident Alien (2021– )

At last...

[10/10 · 11 February 2021]

A show for Alan Tudyk ! This guy deserved his own a long time ago, but , better late... And given time and at least one more season , and the pieces will follow even better in place and the chemistries will solidify . Already i can see a good one between A.T. and that kid Judah Prehn. Wait and see ! At the moment nothing is wrong , just i'll need more time to work it out, but still i have big hopes . I gave ten stars as an incentive. Good luck !

The Midnight Sky (2020)

10 + !

[10/10 · 23 December 2020]

As an artist and human being George is 100 years ahead of many . And that shows in his latest production . Petty those giving low credits even now , in these times do not get it . They want entertainment , they want fun ! Screw the planet , screw the others , as long as they're getting the five minutes of pleasure. The message here is clear , and has been done with magistral acting and directing, and special kudos for production , who again in these times employed a lot of folk in need for work. A sincere bravo. Et encore !

The Right Stuff (2020)

Another MEH...

[3/10 · 12 November 2020]

Have to agree with the rest of the folk here. Meh. Seen better. Dixit.

The Queen's Gambit (2020)

A real gem, eleven stars !

[10/10 · 31 October 2020]

So , folks, after i ( a goodish chess player ) got sucked in the third episode , around two o clock at night, there come my wife awake an sit next to me , start watching , and at the end of the binge , me going to sleep, she stayed back to catch up the missing ones. Conclusion : the best show . Netflix deserves a gong for only thinking to make this show. The rest, as they say , it's history . Or better , it will be written in the history . A real gem , congratulations to all involved.

Raised by Wolves (2020–2022)

Solaris for us .

[9/10 · 29 September 2020]

For many bogans ( white trash ) Solaris was a no no , being to hard to think . But this time, in a very good way , this show helps us to see in a easier and better the real side of sci-fi . Gone are the big explosions of the Star Wars and the like, in are the real possibility of being like just that on Mars and beyond . And besides it's originality , the creators of the show did a real good job. Petty about the folk who give less than 7 stars , cos' this show is not about being " noise " is about one of the real alternatives where the AI has to still deal with religious imbeciles and in general human nature . I give it a 9 because i'll wait to see second season , and then , if all is the same the show will get from me a 10 all over the place. I am just curious to see who started the mess on Earth ? The religious nuts or the cynical atheists ?

Ted Lasso (2020–2023)

Hello boys...

[10/10 · 15 August 2020]

And girls ! That's the show i needed right now to take down the Victorian ( Oz ) curfew of my bones. Really , really good show, played to almost perfection by all involved, no exception . I even didn't know Hannah W. was so good looking ; in the Game of Thrones could not see much , and as a big plus she plays very naturally her role as a bad girl on the way of becoming a good one . Sudeikis J. is what i was expecting from him , the best , and as a plus, this role fits perfectly , congrats to the casting agency . I can loose my time here blabing of how good is this show , but i'll rather count the seconds 'till episode 4, and the next one...576,001...576,000...575999... Yep folks worth counting...

The Orville (2017–2022)

WTF ?!

[10/10 · 15 May 2020]

Once again , here's the proof that the so called critics do not deserve the money they get paid to scribble around about something they'll never get it . The PEOPLE have spoken , and yet, those poor imbeciles writing bss for an easy bread , stuff it again, as usual . The O ( both seasons ) , is a funny , smart , witty show , in a way better than ST . Even the design of it , is better than in many other similar sci-fi s . I am in no mood to describe everything here, the " critics " won't get it , so just to let the Orville gang to know that there are a big number of people who loved what they've seen and heard. Sorry for giving only ten stars .Dixit .

The Rhythm Section (2020)

The Jane Bond is born !

[10/10 · 8 April 2020]

So fellas , just when the Bond , James Bond franchise was about to came to an end, there she come , and is not bad at all . We have as Bond a girl, and for M is a guy . Do not listen to the ones afraid of girls , this is a good movie you'll like it , and i think it does have a future. I give it 10 stars , to balance the negative ones and for encouragement .

Sophie's Choice (1982)

Who's the overrated ?

[10/10 · 1 March 2020]

Politics aside Meryl Streep deserve also 10 stars for this role and a huuge apology from some total failure who called her the above title .

Kilo Two Bravo (2014)

Do not let your wives see it !

[10/10 · 16 February 2020]

Cos' mine cried for two nights , and i ... i think i've got PTSD just for seeing that movie . And i was in the military . Perhaps cos' i can block what's happened to me , but not to others . Really folks, this so lately movie seen by me and then me missus , it's so realistic and to top it off inspired from a real story , that is no wonder Harry ( former prince now ) quit the " Firm " who is sending young guys to loose limb and life in the defense of England outside its borders . I bet he had seen some really bad stuff . A very well done movie , describing the horrors or war and the suffering of those trying to make a living out of it . Ten stars for a shockingly realistic movie , ten stars for a very good job done by everyone .

Star Trek: Picard (2020–2023)

I want some more...

[9/10 · 31 January 2020]

Yep folks , i want more ... the more the better . I gave nine stars only cos' i became cynical lately about the cheap franchises excluding of course, N.G. Other than that, this " Picard " , it looks really good, the CGI , the acting, the directorship, and of course the writing . It will be a really good show , if all will keep going like now . Ten stars are waiting for you guys , just do what you do right now . Congratulations for the first two episodes .

21 Bridges (2019)

Not bad at all

[9/10 · 21 November 2019]

Well folks, you can at anytime make room to go and see this movie . It is really good , from all the points of view ( ? ) : directorship , acting, script . The cinematography was a bit to dark, yes i understand ,that's the script, otherwise the whole movie was to cost way over this small 33mil. And that's the merit of everyone in making this movie : whit such a small budget , a such a really good movie . Not perfect , but not bad at all . Money well spend .

The Morning Show (I) (2019– )

A sincere bravo

[10/10 · 11 November 2019]

Me watching a chick show ?! Nah... And yet... This one is one of the top i have seen in a while . I do not know how much Amazon spent with all this , but is money well spent . The cast, the writers, oh my... Put it this way: it's late night , and i just finish to watch the fourth episode and yes, worth every bit or my precious time. Special kudos to J.A. and R.W. for their fantastic job. Not being one , but Americans can consider themselves lucky to have such talented and wonderful ladies .

Joker (I) (2019)

How about 11 stars ?

[10/10 · 10 November 2019]

Ok folks, this was a job very well done by everyone . Oscar contender in a lot of categories and , most important , a mirror held in the face of today's society . No wonder we have so many nuts with guns killing at random if we treat each other like in this film . One more thing : the Oscar for Heath Ledger was for his portrayal of a Joker at the top of his madness . This one done brilliantly by Joaquin Phoenix it show us how he became like this . That's for the people comparing to much one with the other . They are both a work of masterpiece in different parts of time in the life of one poor schmuck . Yeah... i fell a bit of sorry for him like i felt the same for the godfathers of Coppola .

Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood (2019)

So ? What's new ? It's just another masterpiece !

[10/10 · 21 August 2019]

As i write up there,not much is new ... With no exception , all actors where at their best, Mr. Q did not have to much input in that , But his idea... oh my... pity i cannot write not one single word about the real story here cos' will be a spoiler. The revenge of Mr. Q is totally unexpected and marvelous in the same time . Mr.Q is a real educator about the past life in Hollyland . You know something lot ? Just read a bit about those times and then , just then go and see the movie . A sincere bravo to an really smart and good movie maker , Mr.Q ( aka Quentin Tarantino ) .

John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019)

If my wife was awake ...

[10/10 · 29 May 2019]

It means that this was a REALLY , top of the tops ! I have to remember when i have seen such good fight scenes, so well filmed, with such good choreography . And the dogs... oh my... half the movie was those dogs... Kudos to the trainer. Hale Berry was a really good addition , and hey ! a really good fighter ! The funny moments were well done and placed. It just came in to my mind, i recon that the only better fights than here , are in the UFC , and only because are totally real . To every one who make this movie , Magna Cum Laude ! Or better say : is it possible 11 stars ? Cos' my wide awake misuss will pay for the whole family to go and see it . And is a biiig family... and i'll go with them .

Game of Thrones (2011–2019)

B.E. !

[10/10 · 20 May 2019]

As opposed to BS, GOT was the Best Ever ! Forget about those poor miserable trolls who for a pittance smear the hard working and talented crew of the GOT. One has to be a bit educated and read a few books to be able to grasp the depth of this show. Maybe 90% of GOT was able to show the real life, with ups and downs, good and bad, beautiful and ugly, loyalty and treachery and the list goes on and on. For almost ten years ( well ... almost ...) we grew up with a story told by a wonderful bunch of ladies and men , at the beginning girls and boys some of them dead now, but hey that is life ! The story of life... watch it.

P.S. Now i will buy the blue ray and force my wife to watch it. The same was with Breaking Bad and she love it .

Last Breath (2019)

And here we go to Oscars !

[10/10 · 17 May 2019]

A former diver myself, i know how it is . Good money , adventure, and then bang ! Trouble... Well done the script, directorship , and all the rest of the crew . This is raw emotions, this is real life folks, not some Rambo , not some Bond... This is every day people with trouble to solve and real stories to tell that will make you cringe , laugh and cry , and all that on the camera. So, of you go to Oscars , lot !
