Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV (2024)

Are you kidding me?!

[4/10 · 20 April 2024]

4 stars is being nice. Justified by the fact that the only interesting thing is Bell's story, which by itself it's terrifying and would have made a great standalone documentary. Besides that, conjectures and over analyzing scenes (of shows I too watched as a kid) is just sooo much!! Dan might have been an awful boss, but no real evidence of anything else (besides being misogynist piece of**). I am at awe at how overthinking and over analyzing can lead to dumb conclusions such as these. Not everything has to have sexual connotation people!! And even if it were true, it's not interesting at all.

Late Night with the Devil (2023)

Inventive, different and thrilling!!

[8/10 · 20 April 2024]

I don't usually write reviews but, this is so worth it. Even if the ending is not the best, this kept me watching and on the edge of my seat!! An amazing concept that is well executed. Strong performances, amazing script and top notch editing. The 70's vibe is great, the suspense is nonstop. Might not scare you at all, but it will surely keep you entertained. Only cons I can think of are: the excessive amount of title cards from production companies (literally a record!) and the special effects (which is understandable since 1. They keep the 70's vibe and 2. It is more of an indie title). Nonetheless, so so good i was left in awe!!

Air (I) (2023)

Rich people's problems!

[4/10 · 3 April 2023]

I really don't get the hype of this, this is basically a story about how rich people become millionaires in the easiest way. The movie is very well made don't get me wrong, strong performances, slick dialogue and nice cinematography, still the story itself is bland, undramatic and boring. Why make movies about a meh real life story with no dramatic turns, stakes nor interesting conflict?! I love the shoes, the story is just boring, plain and can be told in 5 minutes tops. Everything just comes so easy for Michael and Nike, besides a few offers that obstacle the deal. If you wanna watch a real gripping story, watch Tetris.

Don't Make Me Go (2022)

Heartfelt and unexpected

[8/10 · 22 July 2022]

Watch this now, slow movie but ending is so worth it. Rarely write reviews but this movie cannot go unseen. Grab tissues and expect the unexpected, good writing and music.

Malignant (I) (2021)

Trash trash 🗑

[1/10 · 11 September 2021]

Horrible movie. Nor horror nor thriller. Stupid, illogical and terribly written. A cancer with super powers? Plain dumb!

Respect (2021)

In it for Hudson

[6/10 · 7 September 2021]

Only Jennifer Hudson could pull off a performance like this. Movie is boring, yet she keeps it interesting and well there's her stupidly amazing voice also 🙌🏼

Isabel: The Intimate Story of Isabel Allende (2021)

A beautiful portrait of passion and loss

[8/10 · 20 June 2021]

Being from Mexico I had known of Isabel Allende only by name. Her story is moving and touching, this series is underrated and should be watched by any one who loves a good intimate story, a drama well acted and a music that is just absolutely gorgeous. Watch it now! Tissues might be needed for last episode 😢

Klaus (2019)

The best animated film in years

[10/10 · 14 December 2020]

You'll cry, laugh out loud and be amazed by the beautiful animation. This is not a kid's only movie and it is way underrated. Watch it now, you won't regret it!!
