Lost: Meet Kevin Johnson (2008) Season 4, Episode 8

final destination - poorly written

[3/10 · 7 January 2022]

This episode reminded me of the Final Destination films. Also, the reasons given for Michael to agree to the plan are really not well thought out. Mike is told that Widmore put decoy skeletons under water so that he can be the only one to find the real flight 815. If he finds the island he'll kill everyone there. That's what Mike is told. Why the heck would Mike agree to that? He has no proof that Widmore wants to kill everyone on the island.

Let the Right One In (2008)

slow slow slow and not really horror

[3/10 · 2 September 2019]

Very slow film, very pretentious, lacks any credibility. Did I mention veeeerrryyy slow? The plot is very minimal; it lacks substance. Beginning middle and end are the same pace (SLOW). Also funny CGI at some parts and the big eyes snapchat filter before filters existed (lol).

Simply put, without spoiling anything, it's a slice of life story of a 12 year old boy who meets a supernatural "12 year old girl," & she changes his life. It isn't shot like a horror film - the angles and cinematography are very similar to your run of the mill drama. It left me feeling uncomfortable from the kids' acting.

tldr: Barely horror (contains blood and gore) genre, boring af, slow af, unlikely af

Euphoria (2019– )

striving to be art, but it's just a bad show

[1/10 · 28 August 2019]

The cinematography is different than what I've seen before, I'll give it 3 stars for that. Then another star for the acting. But it's just not for me. It doesn't really have a plot, I guess that is the writer's/director's point? It's a waste of time. Overall, 4 stars in total for keeping me watching, but, man, what's the freaking story? It just runs on the theme of addiction. All the characters being addicted to different things, some to drugs, others yearn for love, and are addicted to winning. I do not recommend this show, it left me angry, like, why does this stuff even get made. I wanted a story, that's like the simplest thing you can ask of a show. A plot. A climax. A conclusion. This show has no climax nor a conclusion. Some shows have memorable characters that you miss sometimes and rewatch to see them again. This show makes me say bye bye, see you never.

The Handmaid's Tale: Heroic (2019) Season 3, Episode 9

amazing acting this episode

[10/10 · 18 July 2019]

Moss and Brewer were very believable and Moss especially, had an overall enthralling performance. This episode was not at all boring for me, it was quite the opposite, I didn't skip a second of it because it is an important turning point. Plans are forming. I rate it 10 stars because although it seems like a lot of scenes are being spent on June, it's a spectacular performance as I said, and she is changing. I feel like the majority of this episode's plot will be central to season 3's plot.

12 Angry Men (1957)

eye opening, ahead of its time

[10/10 · 22 April 2018]

This movie is important. The plot is so relevant. I thought it was going to be bland, being in the same room for the entire film, but it's so engaging I don't mind. The story is the important part.
