Dota: Dragon's Blood (2021)
Season 3 is unwatchable
Season 3 rendered this show almost unwatchable for me. The storyline is extremely difficult to follow. I still can't figure out why who is who and why things are happening. It doesn't help that it seems as though for the female voice actors- they play at least two or three characters! And the female characters also look very similar. So as someone unfamiliar with this story, it's very hard to follow. The animation is good but all in all, this show seems so choppy. Scenes end abruptly. Conclusion fights ends in a strange way. If you like this kind of animation, you're better off watching castlevania- which is excellent!
Hiteumaen (2020)
Enjoyable
Watched this on the plane coming back from Singapore and couldn't stop laughing. I enjoy any funny Korean movie and this one delivers on the funny.
We Broke Up (2021)
Relatable
A story of a couple who grew apart without even knowing it. One is content with their relationship while the other has contrasting feelings.
Bloodshot (2020)
Not good, not horrible
These British accents are horrible. Even from some of the British actors! And that's coming from a British person. The acting was really mediocre and the tech guys characters didn't achieve the level of funny that I assume the writers aimed for. Their characters seemed incredibly forced. Story line wasn't bad though
Malcolm & Marie (2021)
Enjoyed it
A movie about communication or lack there of it. I really enjoyed the dialogue in this movie, however I thought it was unrealistic. The vocabulary that's used while the actors are full blown arguing, isn't realistic. I think this film is a good depiction of the dynamics of modern day relationships and the on screen chemistry between the actors is one of the best I've seen in recent times. They go from heated arguments to just about to make love really smoothly and naturally. The film is quite repetitive and is seemingly like mini loops of the same thing but with different arguments.
They both make really compelling arguments for what they are upset with each other but ultimately it's clear that they both need each other in different ways and for different things and they both have a need to be validated.
Retreat to Paradise (2020)
Male lead
All in all, it was a pretty decent movie for what it was. It just all felt very forced. We all know the plot of romantic movies like this. Generally it's split into three parts. The two subjects meet and are intrigued by one another, a fall out somewhere between the 1/2 way mark to 3/4 way mark and then everything works out toward the end. The reason why I say it's forced is because I don't think anyone, professional or otherwise would stand for what the male lead put the female lead through. The amount of verbal abuse she took in this film was crazy, and for them to be IN LOVE by the end was just crazy. All in less than a week! Lol
