Resident Evil (2022)
Why the hate?
I do not understand the hate this show is getting at all. I am a long-time fan, I've played all the games and watched all the movies. And I love it. It's an engaging story, good acting, well written and it keeps me engaged the whole time.
Is it a 100% replica of the existing content, no - but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. I think all of the blood bloodfans are just being a toxic and immature Fandom at this point. It's like when Swifties send out death treats to other fans - It's that level of stupid and immature.
My recommendation is to watch it and you might get surprised, and it does get soo good around halfway through- its definitely worth a watch!
Ghostland (2018)
One of the best horror movies I've ever seen!
Went in with no expectations, came out completely destroyed.
Superb acting, great plot, twists and turns, eerie and anxiety inducing. You feel on edge and uneasy throughout.
It's very psychological as well, which I personally enjoy.
It's one of few horror movies I've watched where I'm not annoyed at the characters every other second for being idiots.
It still sits with me a few days later, because it's a very disturbing movie.
Huge TW for SA and violence among other things.
This movie deserve more recognition and a higher score in my opinion!
Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)
The Spiderman movie I didn't know I needed.
This is the Spiderman movie I didn't know I needed. Ok so I love Tom Hollands Spiderman, I think he's perfect for it and he has grown into the role since the first movie. In my opinion this is Toms best Spiderman movie yet. I'm genuinely surprised that they somehow managed to climb even higher with this installation. But also, I absolutely loved having Garfield and Maguire back. And the way that Garfield saved Hollands MJ had me in tears, Maguire and Ottos reunion. Oh my gosh. I actually cried during this movie, it was the perfect mix of action, comedy and heartfelt moments. Also loved all of the Easter eggs and nudges to Maguires and Garfields Spiderman as well as to the Playstation games and even Peter Morales. Here's to hoping for a Peter Morales installation as well!!
Watch it, I don't think you'll be dissapointed.
Watch it.
I do really hope Holland will get to make more Spiderman movies in the future.
The Batman (2022)
Robert wanted us to know that he is NOT Edward Cullen
Robert wanted us to know once and for all that he is so much more than that gyy from Twilight. And now we know without a doubt. His best work so far. Very good acting, great movie overall and a great addition to the Batman universe. Who knew we all wanted Edward Cullen to be our new Batman huh? Fantastic movie. Well worth a watch. 10/10.
There's Someone Inside Your House (2021)
If you like teen slashers this is for you
I'm not sure why this gets such low ratings. This is everything it promises to be, a teen slashers, with a little cheese and surprisingly a lot of graphic gore. The ending was a twist too, I didn't actually see it coming until like 10 minutes before the killer was revealed, and I can appreciate that in a teen slasher. It was good, I was entertained and I would recommend if you are into slashers or doesn't mind teen slashers.
The Wheel of Time (2021)
Give it a fair chance!
Give this one a chance. Yes, the first 2 -3 episodes do struggle a little to captivate you with the story - although the acting, costumes, visuals, score and filming is exteptional from the start. But, this show gets better by each episode, and by the 4th one it is chefs kiss.
This show has some of the best combat scenes that I have ever seen on screen, and the story itself -when you come to understand it fully - captivates you and makes you want to know everything at once. And one of the best parts - it doesn't do that - it keeps secrets from you, and some are not revealed at all in the finale. I was at the edge of my seat watching the season finale and it left me with goosebumps and a strong yearning to see and to know more. Although this show is often compared to GOT, it is not GOT - sure the screen version of it is somewhat inspired by it ; but it is its own and very original at that. It draws a little from everything you love withing the fantasy genre - but that is partly why it is so good. All great books and stories are inspired by other great stories - but few of them manages to stand out and grow a foundation of its own. This show does.
If you like fantasy and loved GOT, LOTR and so on - I am almost 100% certain you will love this. But, like I said, give it a fair chance , and, be patient - your time will be rewarded in multitude!
The Sex Lives of College Girls (2021)
What a gem!!!
Mindy Kalings up here being a queen!!!
This show is sooo good!!!! It is awkward, raw, funny and also touches on important topics. It is way deeper than it appears to be. Binged the entire thing in 1 night. Worth a watch, and I promise you'll laugh!
Cinderella (2021)
What? Why??!!
What on earth is this mess ?
Even the songs were horribly produced .
I'm so dissapointed. I feel bad for Camilla! Hope she gets better roles in the future.
American Horror Story: Pale (2021)
Growing on me
I was 2 episodes in when I realized Sarah Paulson was playing Karen. That was easy to miss until she screamed XD
Anyways this is growing on me. I actually like the eerie tone and weirdness a lot.
American Horror Story: Cape Fear (2021)
The acting IS this shows masterpiece
Not sure if I love the new season yet. But I don't hate it. I'm intrigued to see where it goes.
However, the acting itself makes this a masterpiece.
Evan is an acting genius in this season no doubt!!! Lily Rabe. Conroy. Adina Porter. Frances Conroy. That kid from home alone (I cannot seem to be able to spell his name correctly but you know the one) all amazing!!! Not to forget Finn Wittrock. He rose above my expectations and stayed there.
Hightown (2020)
What's with the mediocre reviews?
I went into this show completely blank. Had really no idea what it was about and who was in it. Just happened to be bored and pressed a random show on my streaming app.
And I was surprised - pleasantly. I've seen Monica Raymund in Chicago Fire and I did not like her acting or her character - but boy oh boy she excels in this one!! Really well done by her and all the cast. And very realistic as well. I'm an addict, 3 years sober and I could relate. Just a couple of episodes in, but I'm already sure that it's gonna be a good ride.
Watch it!
Sweet Tooth (2021)
Brilliant. Just watch it, you won't regret it.
At first glance I thought this would be too childish for me, a 28 year old, but I was wrong. The production is fabulous, the acting is pure quality, the story is heartwarming and heartwrencing at the same time. Binged it in one go and it is one of the best series I've seen this year, and absolutely Netflix' best so far in 2021.
Raya and the Last Dragon (2021)
Ignore the hate!!
I don't understand the hate this movie have gotten or why the live action Mulan got so much hate either - both of these are amazing movies imo. Raya and the Last Dragon has beautiful visuals, humor and a good message. The voicing was very good imo. This is the first Disney movie that made me cry both at the beginning and at the end.
Is it perfect, maybe not. Nothing is. Is it good and worth to watch if you in general love animated movies? Yes absolutely. Trust me ignore the hate. This is a good movie.
Origin (2018)
A shame it didn't make it to a second season!
I enjoyed this so much, it was complex but simple enough so you won't get lost in the story. Good character development, good acting, good stories. This is so much better than a lot of the shows out their in this genre, too bad it didn't get a season 2.
All American (2018)
If you miss One Tree Hill, this might be for you!
I watched the first episode. And then I forgot about this show for weeks. Then I was bored and scrolled HBO for something to fall asleep too. Well, I ended up watching all the aired episodes and didn't get much sleep.
I loved One Tree Hill, and miss it like crazy. I won't say this is just as good, but it has potential to be and it has a decent plot and above average acting. I really hope this show gets a second season, I will definitely watch it if so!!!
Searching (2018)
Very well done at the edge of your seat thriller, with surprisingly good twists
The best movie I've seen in this genre! Can't believe I didn't hear much about this movie and found it by accident! Really well done acting, good script and directing. This movie surprised me, in a good way. Best watch I've had for weeks!!
Watch it!
Mowgli (2018)
Cumberbatch is brilliant!!!!
Amazing movie much better than the Disney one!! And I didn't even recognize Cumberbatch, that's how great he is!!! Serkis is seriously underrated as well!!
The Holiday Calendar (2018)
Loved it!
I hate Christmas, kind of, and I absolutely hate Christmas movies. They are cheesy, predictable and not very realistic. But I loved this movie, I even cried. Happy tears I swear.
The Princess Switch (2018)
Even made a grinch like me cry and feel that yueltide spirit
I hate Christmas movies. And I don't like Christmas. But I loved this movie. It is a simple movie. Simple script. Simple acting, although the acting actually is more than good enough. Sam Palladio was basically born to play prince Charming, and Vanessa is decent and at times more than so. But it is the simpleness and the essence of this movie that will bring you a smile on your face and maybe even a tear. The classic, but never to turn old, love is the most important thing - even I, a grinch, can't not admit it's effect.
A wonderful, sometimes funny, always heartwarming and easy going Christmas movie, for me and to all.
How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014)
Heartwarming and heartwrenching, a movie done right!
I never watched How to train your dragon, before today. I've laughed, cried and smiled, and I even learned a few lessons.
Amazing movie, for everyone, not just kids.
Alex Strangelove (2018)
Genuinely real, awkward, funny, and fist clench worthy. TRUELOVE
This was just something that I put on because I was bored, and oh my, it turned out to be a gem. It was awkward, like being a teenager is, funny, warm, decent acted, believable, realistic and heartwarming. I was rooting for Alex the whole time, yeah it was predictable, but it didn't matter. I fell in love with Alex and Elliot, felt love for them and with them while watching - isn't that the whole point? Watch it, it's worthy of your time.
A Dog's Purpose (2017)
Heartwarming
Just watch it. If this doesn't tear at your heart strings, you're not human.
Good acting, especially from the kid who plays kid Ethan and a good story. I laughed, smiled and cried and I am so happy I decided to watch it!
