A Murder at the End of the World (2023)

bad straight white male did it duhhhh!!!

[1/10 · 30 December 2023]

Had to check my hair color after watching this i could swear it felt like going blue or green not sure wich one.

Diversity all in.

All male support characters are alphabet.

Strongest looking warrior-like character is female.

Main character is an in-love pink hair feminist that looks like coming from Detroit's Kingston St always fuzzy, stumbling and passing out.

Incredibly scenarios, beautiful locations, mind blowing scifi technology special effects, very interesting alternatives presented to end up with stupid basic: bad white controlling battering abusive sterile hetero no good for nothing billionaire DID IT!

Amazing!!!

To be mentioned: Flashbacks are not flash if they last almost the whole episode and action goes around 0.5Mph. Extremely boring. Feel free to forward ALL of them. I did.

As leftist liberals hate guns the idea of confronting serial killers by shouting at them the names of their victims so they find impossible to live with that information seems tempting. By all means please try it.

Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris (2022)

Very good but there's always a but

[7/10 · 24 September 2023]

Excellent acting. Great casting.

Wonderful sets and scenarios.

Lovable characters. Extraordinary most original relatable plot.

París with all the trash (maybe i don't get the point) but seemed unnecessary and uncalled for.

I will call a minor setback for me: suggesting communism is somehow good. And a major flaw: of all the thinkers of the world to pick Jean Paul Sartre uhmmm specially in a Romantic Comedy film wouldn't be my first pick, not even my last one.

Other than that the movie has great messages and memorable scenes. A joy to watch something that actually resembles a proper entertaining film like the ones i grew loving.

Well done.

Heart of Stone (I) (2023)

Boring cliché to the empowered spy

[1/10 · 15 August 2023]

Cliché plot.

Terribly predictable Not bad acting but not memorable either Good action scenes

Didn't appreciated that every single man in the movie is either unuseful or clumsy and if not is evil. On the other side all characters in positions of power and control are women.

I'm just tired of the whole "i can beat any men in any way shape or form possible" kind of woman character.

Simply boring and predictable plus shoving feminism down our throuts is really not worth watching. Truly a shame and wasteful time 'cause the plot, even being an old tiresome cliché, can work fine when properly developed.

Poorly written. Poorly acted.

Look Both Ways (2022)

Far from perfect... but it's welcome.

[7/10 · 21 August 2022]

There are no guarantees in life and sometimes the pursuit of happiness takes you thru unexpected pathways you don't know where they'll end, but you'd always be off to a good start by doing the right thing.

Good for Netflix.

Appreciated: The pro-life approach.

That men aren't portayed as evil or childish selfish idiots.

That gender issues are not front-row.

That race issues are not present.

Not that much: Still normalizing drugs use.

The Northman (2022)

Áre You kidding me?!!! hahahaha

[1/10 · 26 May 2022]

I could say this movie is a joke but it would not be fair 'cause it looks more like a crackhead's nightmare.

A complete waste of money, effort and time.

Worst viking movie EVER!!!!

3 minutes of fighting, 85 minutes of bs stupid disgusting ritual dancing, 1 and a half minutes of acid induced imagine-art and 30 seconds of poor cheap special digital effects.

No vikings ships, no army, no castle or fortress....a remote, isolated farm is the location of an epic battle for a kingdom. Reallly? What was the budget?

My eyes hurt and my brain aches. Avoid this movie at all cost.

The Takedown (2022)

Hi politics Low fun

[3/10 · 16 May 2022]

If it had been just EVIL PEOPLE TAKE OVER THE WORLD it could have worked better but the whole wokeism takes the little fun off. Too much identity polítics statements to laugh about while underlying a France that is plagued by wh1te rac1st fac1st naz1s that can't waste an opportunity to insult anyone different they come across with. Maybe that's why France has been one of the major immigrant receiving countrys of Europe since WW2. French people have been notoriously tolerant but now it turns out the only good french people are those immigrants. Wth!?

Action scenes are chopped to be so "speedy" they loose proportion and joy.

Some scenes are funny but predictable when put to the background.

The Sinner (2017–2021)

S4: Sad sad sad mistery

[4/10 · 27 January 2022]

All inmigrants are good suffering innocent people (even if they pay to enter illegally therefore comitting a crime) and are exploited by the evil christian white people who live in stolen land and sea altering nature's balance.

The girl's all-time sad sleepy face is just tiresome.

Witchcraft is awesome and sincere and sensitive 'cause is "all-women".

C*caine is fun, and one can use it now and then without any problems.

Yeah right!!??

Last Night in Soho (2021)

Psychodelic 60s chills

[8/10 · 27 November 2021]

Awesome photography. Beautiful sets. Great acting. Amazing soundtrack.

The characters are storytelling clichés but very well portrait. The whole ambience, the suspence, the spotless unexpected character and time transitions, the story just gets to you from the start and the final plot twist is perfect.

Morality feels upside down trying not only to justify the killers actions but to agree with them 'cause of victimization.

Other than that is an excellent movie. I enjoyed it very much. The music, the actresses, the sites, the story. Well done.

Midnight Mass (2021)

Ever lasting extended mass

[4/10 · 28 September 2021]

Great production and filming, decent acting. Gives me a Stephen King's kind of feeling: evil monster, small town, big negative catholic presence, hero teens...minus the scary horror.

That being said feels like a 90min movie forcebly stretched out to be a series.

The dialogues? Ahhhhh!!! Exhausting!!! Looks like the characters shared a never ending story every single time they talked.

Too slow action missed me after the 3rd episode and brought me back to see the end, but in between was almost painful to watch.

The nonsense preaching!

Real pity, 'cause it could have been a very very good movie even with such a cliché theme as vampires that, when done properly, never fails.

Dream Horse (2020)

This is what entertaining should be all about!

[8/10 · 21 August 2021]

Great movie! Very uplifting. A horse movie not about the horse but about the people, the town, the dreams and hopes everybody has and should share. Extraordinary cast with heart warming performances. A joyful delight to watch indeed.

Katla (2021)

Interesting but poorly filmed and what's with the CARS?!!

[4/10 · 3 July 2021]

The hole volcano-replicant thing is very very interesting but the story gets an UNREAL feeling due to absurd character reactions made only to dissapoint viewers.

I also should mention that even though the location is simply BREATHTAKING, 97% OF THE SHOW IS FILMED EITHER INSIDE A CAR, GETTING OFF OR INTO A CAR OR A DRONE VIEW OF A CAR ON THE ROAD which also happens on oher scandinavian tv series. So i wonder...

Stowaway (I) (2021)

Space Trolley Problem like...and the answer is:

[2/10 · 3 May 2021]

I KILL MYSELF! Really?

Its like a two line script filled up with lots of wasted time. The problem itself is really interesting but the movie i think its poorly achieved. Visual is great but content and characters are shallow. Just for starts, the whole liftup scene adds nothing and is endless.

On a side note: CAN YOU MAKE MALE CHARACTERS ANY MORE USELESS??? Never mind the asian and the black and inmigrant, but delicate plant harvester that feels dizzy and looks scared the hole movie? We need strong smart masculine men back in movies.

Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker (2019)

How to destroy a franchise in 3 acts

[3/10 · 10 December 2020]

And here i was, thinking Hayden Christensen had only one face expression, 'til Daisy Ridley came along with her ALWAYS ANGRY NEVER EVEN WINKLING ENDLESS GASPING ONE EYE ONE DROP CRYING LITTLE CUTE FACE. LOL!!!???

Original saga was always a soap opera but you couldnt care less because it got hidden behind the high tech sci-fi action and adventure. Ever since Disney started the action sequences are faster and more massive so you struggle to catch on and the only steady times of the movie are within the soap drama, so you end up feeling like there's always a deja vu with no surprise, and everything is just a big predictable scene with lots of people to fiil in before the drama starts again.

A WOKE side dish. Never mind the empowered, the lesbian pilots or the mixed race couples but.... horses on a Command Ship? in space??? in open space??? riden by "wakanda warriors"? LOL LOL LOL That's just not right.

If they could put the same effiort into writting than they put in being politically correct we could watch a decent entertaining movie and perhaps something that endures but hey! that's not their priority, is it?

I was not excited to watch this one. Waited a hole year. Now i remember why. I gave it 3 stars for the STAR WARS NOSTALGIA THING.

Young Wallander (2020–2022)

Detective Wallander meets The Brain Washing Machine

[4/10 · 8 December 2020]

Production level is very good. Average acting. Script is WOKE.

If you're against ilegal inmigrants then you're a xenophobe, if you're for law and order you're fascist. As long as you're not a white straight male you can have an excuse for everything. You can kill a 17 yo, stab a cop, insult everyone that doesn't think like you, break whatever law you want and blame everybody else but yourself. Someone or something else made you do it so you're the real victim.

There shall be expectations on how swedish people manage actually becoming a minority in Sweden.

Togo (2019)

Beautiful!!!

[9/10 · 3 December 2020]

If you love dogs like i do this movie won't dissapoint you. Gorgeous animals, breathtaking places, action and adventure...excellent acting and a very enchanting uplifting story that happens to be a true piece of history.

A complete joyful time to share with family and friends.

Midnight at the Magnolia (2020)

Never gets old

[6/10 · 30 November 2020]

A simple but sweet HOLIDAY LOVE STORY with a heart-warming couple and good chemistry to match.

No hidden Hollywood Agenda, just classic good joyful entertaining that NEVER GETS OLD.

Noelle (2019)

Empowered santa santa

[1/10 · 30 November 2020]

Really? So there's NO NEW BETTER CHRISTMAS STORY TO TELL that you have to change SANTA into a girl?

I mean, I am all up for a good interesting story with a female leading character, and thrre are PLENTY of those, but this is ridiculous. And had to even make the guy a clumsy idiot to make things worse.

I guess no tradition is safe anymore.

A Christmas Prince: The Royal Baby (2019)

Christmas to the left and falling...

[1/10 · 12 November 2020]

90 minutes of indentity politics lobby. I guess in Mix-Race kingdom political correctness stands for a better Christmas, even if you don't even call it that way.

No wonder is on N.

The Alienist (2018–2020)

...from ALIENIST to FEMINIST.

[3/10 · 26 October 2020]

This thing went from ALIENIST to FEMINIST.

After a daring dark first season is like politically correctness took over. Even thoug it showed hints before, this season is just ALL IN FOR IT.

I used to love Dakota. Gorgeous eyes with lots of expressions... but i must say i can't stand her cold-all-time angry-not hearted-attitude face in this series.

Daniel Brühl is as sharp as always but his character feels put behind. Pitty.

Count me off of this one.

Downton Abbey (2019)

Irrelevant and shoddy

[4/10 · 26 October 2020]

There's so much depth in all the characters from the TV serie that ANY movie is just not enough time to develop their stories. They tried to focus on Branson and Barrow, two characters that certainly had no proper ending before but they come very very short. In fact, they don't get any closure at any level. They should have picked just one story (preferably Branson's) and go on with it. All the royal grandiosity, the lofty locations and glamour characters get completely and unnecessary thrown down in contrast by such a sordid story like Barrow's. On the other hand they had the Cinderella story on the likes of Branson. Still, they can go on with it since, like i mentioned in the title, the movie ends up being so irrelevant that is LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. I give it 4 stars just 'cause is DOWNTON ABBEY!!!

Palm Springs (2020)

Time loop rescue woman

[3/10 · 5 August 2020]

Thank God for women! Otherwise men would be forever lost in a not-growing-only-sex-searching-self-thinking-lazy eternal loop.

Really?

Too bad. 'Cause it is a funny theme. Groundhog Day gotta be one of the movies you just never get tired of watching.

Greyhound (2020)

Makes you feel like you are there...

[8/10 · 23 July 2020]

Great film. Hanks is, as always, superb. Excellent directing and just awesome performance on acting and filming. That's EXACTLY how it most have felt to be there.

The Silencing (2020)

Needs better writing

[4/10 · 23 July 2020]

Nice movie. Well performed, filmed and directed. Writing needs more depth on some characters and less in others. Too much expectation created around the main guy beeing a great hunter for nothing, and the woman being sheriff just to shoot a civilian without any consecuence at all. Uhmmmm...besides that is entertainig. The constant drinking didnt added that much either because it was missused.

Hollywood (2020)

Hollywood golden age...really?

[2/10 · 6 May 2020]

I'm all for Hollywood nostalgia and glamour so...where is it in this series? Such a beautiful production wasted.

Let's see: Netflix/Disney Logo: Checked Black suffering character: Checked Asian striving character: Checked Evil white character: Checked Idiot white character: Checked Mixed marriage: Checked Gay character: Double and Triple and...Checked

So many interesting stories and this is what they choose to spend money into. Unbeliable!

The Hunt (II) (2020)

Interesring but not funny enough or is it too much?

[4/10 · 3 May 2020]

Nice layout but just too much "dark humor". Should have try a more "serious" approach.

The plot allows it to be "franchise" by endless different polítical views but not in that tone.

Gotta take a stand.
