Ballers (2015)
A damn good show
I wanted to watch this show for years and I sat down and watched every episode in 6 days. Dwayne Johnson was pretty terrific in this show and leads a great cast. Rob Corddry redeemed himself for me after not really liking him in Hot Tub Time Machine.
John David Washington was very good in this series as Ricky Jarret. His character's journey from beginning to end of the series was one of the things that I was most interested in at times not meaning every part of each episode was boring.
I will say that the show could have been better off ending after its 3rd season because I will say that the show does take a slight downfall but is able to bring itself back up in its final season with the whole gaming storyline.
The show's fourth season is one that I will say I enjoyed the least out of them all due to it feeling like what are they gonna do now after the character were all set on certain paths in the 3rd season finale. That don't mean you can't enjoy the 4th season for yourself.
13 Reasons Why (2017)
Stop watching after Season 1
I only gave this a 9/10 because of the first season. I am not joking when I say this show is a burden to
watch after season 1. This show should have been left as a mini series.
The first season is some of the greatest television I have seen in the last 5 years. It is amazing, emotional, dark, depressing and intense all wrapped up together.
The first season is set after the suicide of Hannah Baker. She sent round 13 tapes explaining why she killed herself. Every episode of the first season is a reason why she did with the last episode showing her graphic suicide in a shocking yet intense flashback.
The second season is not as interesting or even as good as the first season. What made the first season so good was that it kept everyone on edge and wanting more but the next season was completely different in a lot of ways.
Season 2 is about the aftermath of the tapes being released and everyone having to testify in court about it. It was an unneeded season and it took me over a month to finish season 2 because I was so uninterested with what was going on. The second season just pushes unneeded information about Hannah before she committed suicide. The information made us want to hate Hannah when the first season told her story and showed that she was innocent and nothing was going well for her in life.
Season 3 removes the whole Hannah Baker aspect of the show and becomes a murder mystery. By the time this season had came out I did not even have one interest in it. It was boring and uncared for. Every season just continues the aftermath of the last season. I did not even get past the second episode of this season so I never got on to the fourth season and never finished the show completely.
Season 3 brought in Ani as the narrator and I straight away did not like that. It felt like a cheap attempt to replace Hannah Baker. Just a lot of things did not make sense about how she fits into the story but someone how it was like she barged herself in.
Overall, after Season 1, the show goes very downhill and it is not worth wasting your time on. Season 1 was a masterpiece in storytelling and keeping everyone on edge.
Hawkeye (2021)
Unexpectedly enjoyable
I watched this show weekly when it came out on Disney+ and I was hoping it would be something fresh after The Falcon and the Winter Soldier was a partial disappointment for me. Loki blew me away and so did WandaVision.
This show had the action for me that The Falcon and the Winter Soldier did not have. It had a mysterious villain which we do not discover their identity until late into the series but that was not what kept me watching.
What kept me watching was the characters and the story. Hawkeye is trying to spend some time with his kids before Christmas to catch up on the time he has missed due to Thanos' Snap but his past comes back to haunt him. It might sound like a simple concept but what makes it good is that the show is also about Kate Bishop's character taking over the Hawkeye mantle for the future.
Kate Bishop's character was so fun, energetic and you loved seeing her interact with everyone else on screen. She was a great casting and I am intrigued to see what they do with her as Hawkeye next.
This series is a good continuation of certain parts of Avengers: Endgame and the Black Widow movie. Yelena returning from Black Widow was great and loved her on screen chemistry particularly with Kate Bishop.
Chucky (2021)
A good adaptation but a slow builder
I like a show that grabs your attention straight away and I only decided to watch this after seeing 2019's Child's Play and being mildly intrigued by the character himself.
I decided to put this down as something to watch in the future. When all the episodes had finally came out, I decided to binge-watch it and see if it was any good.
At first, my reaction was that I liked how much of a slow builder it is due to it being 45-50 mins an episode but as I went through the episodes, I slowly started to lose interest and don't get me wrong there was still some interest. But by episode 8 I had just enough motivation to finish the series.
I did have a problem with the run time of the show's episodes. I felt like there was not enough going on in certain parts of episodes to keep me interested. The show would have been better off with a shorter runtime for each episode.
In conclusion, I would say that the show in the end was not for me even though I did have an interest in the show at first and wish the episode weren't as long as they were because then maybe I would have stayed more interested.
Thor: The Dark World (2013)
This film ain't great.
This summer I decided to rewatch all the MCU films before the release of Spider-Man: No Way Home. I watched this movie and was just disappointed with the outcome. The villain wasn't great, the story wasn't that interesting and the films tries to be funny but it obviously doesn't do it well.
The Suicide Squad (2021)
One of my favourite DC movies. Loved every minute of it.
I've seen this movie twice at the cinema already and on the second viewing I found so much more to enjoy about this spectacular movie.
James Gunn as director and writer was superb. He brought us the Suicide Squad movie that we wanted in 2016 to life in 2021. Gunn's humour and story works together amazingly.
The R-rating or 15 rating if you are in the UK was needed from the start. A film about villains need to be ultra violent and gory and Gunn gave us that and more.
Fight scenes were amazing from start to finish. The actors were superb. Idris Elba was phenomenal as Bloodsport, John Cena as Peacemaker was brilliant against Idris. Peter Capaldi was great but deserved some more screen time. You don't often see Doctor Who stars in superhero movies. Polka Dot Man was amazingly funny and a standout character. Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn was perfect as ever. Viola Davis was fierce, deadly and amazing to watch on screen.
Watching this movie in the cinemas in IMAX was an experience I will never forget. A full screen experience for one of DC's best movies to date. I've seen this film twice already and I have to see it again. I loved every minute of the movie and wanted more. Thank you James Gunn for giving us the Suicide Squad movie we needed. Hopefully the success of the movie can get Warner Bros. To go forward with making the David Ayer cut of 2016's Suicide Squad.
The Dark Knight (2008)
The greatest superhero movie ever!
The tagline is just the start of this review. I watched this movie and was amazed by it. I was left on the edge of my seat wanting more. Christopher Nolan was able to make an even better sequel to continue Batman's story. Heath Ledger's Oscar winning performance playing The Joker lives up to the hype. From start to finish you can see the outstandingly perfect performance from The Joker. Christian Bale's Batman once again is outstanding. The story, the pace and the characters are so perfectly intertwined together. The IMAX scenes look stunningly beautiful and are breath taking to watch.
This film is a 10/10 and always worth a rewatch.
Goldie's Oldies (2021)
Nickelodeon is running out of ideas for good tv shows
I don't know what happened to the fun and awesome Nickelodeon formula for good shows but it has gone down hill since 2019. After we lost shows like Bella and the Bulldogs, Game Shakers and Henry Danger. Nickelodeon is starting to force feed us bad shows. Shows like this and shows like Side Hustle, Danger Force and The Substitute are just not as good as the old shows. Some shows even back then are not as good now because of all the constant re-runs like The Thundermans, Victorious, iCarly and Horrid Henry.
Goldie's Oldies is just a dry idea that Nickelodeon came up with last minute. You can tell that the American characters are just English characters putting on accents. The whole show is just every character acting goofy and childish. There is nobody to put these characters in place or anything. This show is flawed.
Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021)
An amazing movie which also improves Batman V Superman
I loved every minute of this film when I watched it when it came out. I went and rewatched Batman V Superman Ultimate Edition after and both of these films fit perfectly together. The 4 hours are so worth it. This film is absolutely breathtaking and repairs all of the mess that was the original Justice League back in 2017. All we need now is the Ayer Cut for Suicide Squad.
Top Boy (2011)
Came to show late to discovering this amazing gritty British series
I started watching the original series of Top Boy back in January and wanted more Top Boy. When I heard about a 3rd Series coming to Netflix, I could not be any happier. When I saw the 3rd Series on Netflix, it was beyond amazing. If your looking for a gritty drama this is it.
Zombieland: Double Tap (2019)
A sequel that is as good as the original
Saw this film on opening night. Good zombie flick. The deadpool writers behind this film can obviously write good story lines and comedy which definetly makes this a good film to watch in any movie. The Zombieland sequel is as good as the original, introducing new characters which will make you laugh.
