The strategic and gradual completion of the episode proved to be a big plus. Nanami stayed true to himself and his character even in his final moments - he prioritized finishing the job over seeking help. Big kudos to the creators for successfully building the viewer's emotional response. Yuji's restrained emotional reaction to Nanami's death is admirable; he retains Nanami's faith in him as his motivation. Even Mahito's manipulative use of Junpei doesn't shake his focus. Overall, the episode depicted mostly on Mahito's abilities and a demonstration of what he is capable of. There are flaws in my opinion (especially in the animation and some scenes, but what can we do when that's purely MAPPA's fault and not the animators').

Decent Gonjinam complement
17 October 2023
Decent FF/POV horror. The storyline bears similarities to "Gonjiam," which occasionally gave me a sense of deja vu. Despite that, the performances of the actors compensated for the familiar plot, adding depth to the overall film. However, I must mention that the first half of the movie felt a bit slow-paced, taking quite some time for anything significant to happen. There (reason why I deduced 2 stars from the overall rating). Nonetheless, if you are a fan of the FF/POV horror genre, similar to "Gonjiam," (in terms of ghosts and haunted places) you will find this movie to be on par with your expectations.
Here we go!
31 August 2023
We're going back to 2018! The last "lighter", happier and lighthearted episode before things really get really depressing and sad (aka Shibuya). Animation remains simpler but /it only) adds more charm to the whole look and vibe of the anime. The voice actors once again did not disappoint. The animators also did a nice job with the whole sequence between the main trio (Yuji, Nobara and Megumi) and Yuko (especially Nobara's expressions) - definitely a 10/10 visually. Then comes the beginning of the Shibuya incident in the reveal of the spy and their battle with Mahito. I think we have a lot to look forward to!
Phenomenal ending of Gojo's past
3 August 2023
So, the first part of the second season comes to an end here. "Gojo's past" exceeded my expectations. I will miss Haibara and Nanami, as well as the young Geto tho. Visually, the episode was absolutely perfect; there's nothing to criticize. It nicely portrays how the relationship between our strongest sorcerers slowly crumbles and how Gojo's advancement only pushes Geto further into despair and isolation (which we know how that ended). Yuki also makes a welcome return to the scene, yay. The brief glimpse of the present at the end of the episode provides a smooth transition between the two plotlines/arc and prepares us for the infamous Shibuya incident (which I am definitely not emotionally prepared for), that's coming in a month.
Absolute madness
3 August 2023
For me personally this was a great episode. Although I had certain expectations about the scene with Satoru Gojo's "enlightenment" (aka the famous and beloved "Throughout Heaven and Earth, I alone am the honored one") to be a bit different; I simply preferred it more in the manga. Nevertheless, the effect of combining Blue and Red into Purple and the overall display of Gojo's abilities were phenomenal and I enjoyed it immensely. The visual side of the story remains appealing and superior to season 1. The final scene between Satoru Gojo and Suguri Geto and the overall symbolism throughout the episode were top-notch as always.
Insidious: The Red Door
(2023)
Boring let down
2 August 2023
As a long term fan of Insidious franchise, this was quite a disappointment.
Personally, it was quite a letdown compared to other films in the franchise. I missed a more interesting plot; it would have been better if they focused solely on Dalton's storyline and his new girl friend/roommate. Those were more interesting than the other storyline (that mostly connected in the end anyway).
A lot of the times, it became stale and boring. Not much going on action wise, a lot of uninteresting dialogue. There were no jump-scares, and the supernatural element was quite dull as well.
This one could be considered average at best.

The Walking Dead: Dead City
(2023– )
a let down
21 July 2023
I'm still contemplating what to think about it. Neegan caught my attention in The Walking Dead series, especially his character development, backstory, emotional aspects (mentality), et cetera. It was also evident here that Neegan is quite a complicated character, and one can never be sure about his next move. However, despite that, the series didn't captivate me - too much dialogue, not enough action, and with each new episode, it became more boring. The acting performances were average, neither impressive nor disappointing. For me, it's a somewhat forgettable spin-off of an absolutely fantastic series.
Simply loving it!
20 July 2023
It's really picking up! The animation is awesome once again (seriously, those animations and eye colors are stunning!), and those extra scenes just nailed it. I mean, getting those character point-of-view shots and throwing in some fresh elements in the JJK world, that's a win - it brought in some serious authenticity and showed the element of surprise of the characters. The voice actors' performances are top-notch, as the animators' and directors' work in creating the scenes. For me, another excellent episode, and there's nothing to criticize about the arc focusing on Satoru's time as a student.
Was expecting something new but got almost nothing
16 July 2023
I was expecting so much from the trailer and the hype around this film. BUT it just came off as average and nothing much plus it got me truly questioning the need for humans in this...why?
The storyline presented a captivating and intriguing narrative. The seamless fusion of the animal and car transformer realms was nice, yeah, and the CGI and special effects surpassed my expectations - each fight was done greatly. However, the human characters, Ramos and Fishback, felt unnecessary, and their involvement in the action, dialogue, and plot felt forced and absolutely wasteful in terms of storyline. While both actors are talented, their performances in this context felt out of sync.
One more thing - the humor; it was nice, something actually funny but also felt pretty forced as if the writers were pushed into adding the comedic relief by force.
Despite having some moments of mild entertainment, this film falls short with too few scattered throughout. While it may appeal to fans of the Transformers franchise, casual moviegoers may find it kinda boring.

Warning: Spoilers
The second episode has captivated me, again. The animation is impressive, faithfully following the manga while also expanding upon it with additional scenes that delve deeper into the characters. It's really nice to witness Toji's storyline unfold and observe how the anime portrays his character. The dynamics between Gojo, Geto, and Riko are also intriguing to witness. The extended scenes featuring Geto were particularly exceptional. One scene that stood out was when he defeated the elderly curse user, accompanied by a well-placed choral soundtrack in the background, creating a unique atmosphere that I thoroughly enjoyed. The overall vibe is something I'm truly loving.

Mediocre but enjoyable
7 April 2023
While it's not a flawless movie, I wouldn't rate it as low as 5.7 out of 10. It manages to provide enough entertainment value, while also evoking some emotional response from the viewer.
One of the standout aspects of the film was the dynamic between the male lead and a young girl, who he sees as a surrogate daughter. This relationship propels his character forward, and is very well executed.
Surprisingly, the CGI used in this movie is better than what I've seen in some recent Marvel films. Not the best but on the better side. The dinosaurs in particular are very well realized, lending the movie a feeling similar to that of Jurassic Park. There are also some intense moments that stand out.
However, there are still some clichéd scenes and plot contrivances that detract from the overall experience.
Overall, it's a solid movie that's worth checking out if you're in the mood for a fun time.

Shazam! Fury of the Gods
(2023)
Not bad at all
7 April 2023
I have to say, this film exceeded my expectations in every way. It's a genuinely nice and family-friendly movie that everyone can enjoy. I particularly loved the whole Wonder Woman obsession and the Game of Thrones reference, and the Marvel references were a great touch too. It's refreshing to see a movie that isn't afraid to reference other universes, especially when DC and Marvel are often seen as competitors. But the writing is where Shazam really shines. It's breaking multiple barriers with its clever and inventive plot, and the acting is top-notch. The jokes are practical and often genuinely funny. Overall, I loved this film and would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and entertaining movie that the whole family can enjoy. Shazam is a great example of how superhero movies can be more than just action-packed spectacles, and I can't wait to see what the future holds for this character.
Murder Mystery 2
(2023)
Fun and Relaxing
6 April 2023
If you're looking for a good comedy to watch with the family, this film is a great choice. The cast of familiar faces will keep you entertained and feeling good throughout the movie. While it's not groundbreaking, it's still one of the most enjoyable comedies that have come out recently.
Adam and Jennifer's chemistry as a married couple turned private detectives is a highlight of the film. They're funny and endearing, even when their antics get a little chaotic and reckless. You're sure to leave the movie at least smiling.
The plot of the film is simple, but the visual side of things is compelling, and the cultural aspects are fun to watch.
Overall, I would recommend this film to anyone looking for a good time. It's one of the better comedies that I've seen in a while, and you're guaranteed to laugh out loud a few times.

A Thrilling and Enchanting Epic Fantasy Adventure
15 March 2023
As someone who loves epic fantasy movies, I was excited to watch The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. From the opening scenes, I was completely immersed in the magical world of Middle-earth. The movie did an incredible job of introducing the audience to the characters and the story, while also setting the tone for the rest of the trilogy.
The visuals were breathtaking and the special effects were top-notch. The attention to detail in the costumes, makeup, and set designs was impressive, and made me feel like I was really part of the adventure.
The casting was spot-on, with Martin Freeman delivering a standout performance as Bilbo Baggins. He brought a sense of humor and heart to the character that made him instantly likable.
The action scenes were thrilling and well-choreographed, and the humor was perfectly balanced with the more dramatic moments. The riddles in the dark scene was a particular standout, as it managed to be both suspenseful and funny at the same time.
Overall, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey was an exciting and enjoyable movie that captured the spirit of adventure and wonder that J. R. R. Tolkien's world is known for. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who loves epic fantasy adventures or just wants to get lost in a magical world for a few hours.

Faster, more action-packed and more epic than The Two Towers. (EXTENDED)
15 March 2023
Well, well, well, I finally did it! I managed to watch the EXTENDED version of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King," after dragging my feet for two previous films.
First things first, let's talk about the action. This film has it all, from epic battles to heart-pumping chase sequences. The pace is faster than Legolas's arrow, and the stunning CGI will leave you breathless (though, let's be real, there are a few moments where the effects are a bit questionable). It's like watching a fireworks show that lasts for almost four hours. But let's not forget the most important part: the ending. After investing so much time and emotion into this trilogy, I was pleased to find that the ending was both justifiable and gorgeously wrapped up the previous two films. It was like getting a hug from Gandalf himself. And if you're like me, you'll probably end up watching it over and over again, discovering new details and Easter eggs with each viewing. So grab some lembas bread, settle in for the long haul, and enjoy the ride.

Epic Journey (EXTENDED)
15 March 2023
I recently watched the extended version of Lord of The Rings: The Two Towers and despite some moments where the pace seemed to drag on, I have to admit that the film itself is incredibly entertaining. The depth and complexity of the story, combined with the stunning visuals and epic action sequences, make it a truly engrossing viewing experience.
One of the things that impressed me most about the film was the attention to detail in the world-building. From the intricacies of the different cultures and languages to the intricate designs of the weapons and armor, every aspect of Middle-earth feels fully realized and immersive. The use of practical effects and CGI is seamless, creating a visual feast for the eyes.
Overall, I loved the film - the whole trilogy is a feast for the eyes. The dialogue, character developments are top tier.

Sarah is back, kinda
13 March 2023
Joel finally revealed the depths of his pain and loss, sharing with Ellie the story of his daughter Sarah's death, a moment that forever changed his life and left him with a sense of guilt and grief that he has carried with him for years. As he opened up about his past, Joel's character became even more complex and human, and his bond with Ellie deepened. In turn, Ellie shows her gratitude to Joel, revealing the story of her past and the people she has lost along the way. Through her retelling of Left Behind, Ellie shows Joel that she trusts him completely and is willing to share her deepest secrets with him, cementing their bond even further.
The beauty of this episode lies in the way it cements Joel and Ellie's bond. Magnificent.

The Last of Us
(2023– )
First Season: An Aesthetically Heartbreaking Masterpiece
13 March 2023
The first season of The Last of Us is a masterpiece of post-apocalyptic storytelling that will leave you wanting more. There is hardly anything to complain about, except for maybe the slight absence of the infected. However, this is a minor quibble when you consider the fantastic adaptation of the game, which seamlessly blends game elements with original ideas, stories and the history of the characters.
One of the most impressive aspects of the show for me is its stunning cinematography, which beautifully captures the desolate, haunting world of the post-apocalypse. The costumes and makeup are also noteworthy, adding a layer of realism to the show that truly immerses you in this dystopian landscape. But what truly makes The Last of Us so remarkable, in my personal opinion, is its cast of characters, brought to life by a talented ensemble of actors. In particular, the relationship between Joel and Ellie is a standout, with the two characters forming an unlikely bond that is both heartwarming and heart-wrenching. Joel, a stubborn and gruff survivor, becomes the reluctant protector of Ellie, a young girl and he is willing to sacrifice the whole world for her.
Despite the absence of the infected, The Last of Us is a series that deserves ten stars (decided to subtract a star because of the infected). The other aspects of the show, including its exceptional writing, outstanding acting, and captivating cinematography, more than make up for any minor flaws. If you're a fan of post-apocalyptic fiction or just great storytelling in general, The Last of Us is a must-watch. Get ready to be transported to a world unlike any other, where survival is the ultimate goal and the only thing that matters is the bond between those who are left.

Visually Stunning and Epic
11 March 2023
Firstly, I have to say that this film is an epic adventure that truly transports you to a magical world. From the stunning scenery of New Zealand to the intricate details of the costumes and sets, every aspect of the production is absolutely mesmerizing. The music, composed by Howard Shore, is also one of the best movie soundtracks ever made and perfectly complements the action on screen.
In terms of the storyline, The Fellowship of the Ring follows Frodo Baggins, a hobbit who has been entrusted with the task of destroying the One Ring, a powerful artifact that could bring about the end of the world if it falls into the wrong hands. Along with a diverse group of companions, including elves, dwarves, humans, and other hobbits, Frodo sets out on a perilous journey to Mordor, the land of the evil Lord Sauron who seeks to reclaim the ring.
The film is full of action and adventure, with stunning fight scenes and incredible visual effects. However, at times it can also be slow-moving and somewhat tedious, especially during the scenes of exposition or when the characters are simply walking and talking. Additionally, some viewers may find the film to be overly long and perhaps even a bit convoluted, particularly if they are not familiar with the source material.
That being said, the film's characters are incredibly well-crafted and the acting is superb. Elijah Wood delivers a nuanced and heartfelt performance as Frodo, while Ian McKellen is perfectly cast as the wise and powerful wizard, Gandalf. The rest of the ensemble cast, including Sean Astin, Viggo Mortensen, and Orlando Bloom, also deliver standout performances.
In conclusion, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (Extended) is a visually stunning and epic adventure that is sure to capture the imaginations of fans of the fantasy genre. While it can be slow at times and perhaps a bit overwhelming for some viewers, it is ultimately a well-crafted and entertaining film that is definitely worth watching.

Gyu Richie at it again
10 March 2023
"Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre" is a stylish and action-packed spy thriller that boasts an impressive cast of A-listers, including Jason Statham, Aubrey Plaza and Hugh Grant. Statham delivers his signature tough guy performance with style, while Plaza provides a nice comedic touch with her deadpan humor. The film boasts some impressive action sequences, including high-speed chases and intense shootouts, that will satisfy any adrenaline junkie. The chemistry between Statham and Plaza is surprisingly effective, and their banter adds a fun dynamic to the film. Although the movie doesn't break any new ground in terms of plot or character development, it's a solid addition to the spy genre that will please fans of Statham and action movies in general. "Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre" is a wild ride that will leave you entertained from start to finish.
Game of Thrones
(2011–2019)
A Masterpiece with a Flawed Finale
10 March 2023
The show has everything you could want - political intrigue, epic battles, and an incredible cast of characters. The character development throughout the series is insane, with each character having their unique personality and motivations. It's like you get to know them on a personal level.
And don't even get me started on the cinematography - it's breathtaking! The show is a visual feast, with stunning landscapes and meticulously crafted sets. The attention to detail is insane, and it's no wonder the production values are through the roof.
But let's be real, the final season had its flaws. The pacing felt a bit rushed, and some of the character arcs were incomplete. The Night King storyline was hyped up so much, and the resolution left me feeling a little underwhelmed. And what was up with Jaime Lannister and Daenerys Targaryen? Their fates were so disappointing and out of character.
Despite its flaws, Game of Thrones will always hold a special place in my heart. The show's incredible cast, stunning visuals, and epic storytelling are unparalleled. It will be remembered as one of the greatest television shows of all time, and I'm so glad I got to experience it.

Criminal Minds
(2005– )
Let's talk about "CM: Evolution"
9 February 2023
Warning: Spoilers
2 years after Criminal Minds officially ended, the "old" team returns to the audience's screen. Even though I was very happy with the news of a renewal, it wasn't as fun to watch anymore-the biggest disappointment for me was that Matthew Gray Gubler didn't reprise his role as Reid, which I think is the "iconic" role of the series. Also, I still don't know how to feel about Rossi (Joe Mantegna) not being retired but instead still running around with a gun, even though it looks like he's going to fall apart at any moment (I just thought that in real life the FBI wouldn't allow somehow his age, mental state and physique to go out in the field...). Overall, it was similar to a typical Criminal Minds, a network of serial killers that arose because of the coronavirus, it was very well thought out (in my opinion), but it didn't give me anything (except that Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness) finally got a love interest! ) and I think that "Evolution" wasn't as necessary as everyone thought it'd be.
Funny, touching and hilarious
5 February 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This is definitely one of the best SNL episodes to date; Pedro Pascal as a host absolutely smashed it-SNL did an excellent job in the opening monologue introducing Pedro to the unknown viewer (his recent projects with an emphasis on The Last Of Us and The Mandalorian as well as his life story, Pedro's origin in Chile and how/when/why did he move to the US).
The first skit (the quiz) was delivered nicely, and decent. The Wednesday joke cracked me up. Then the hospital skit with Pedro as Charlie was a little less (it feels like the quiz skit set the bar too high) but it was nice seeing Pedro break the character for a second-made me smile. Then teacher Ben part was really fun to watch, I was slightly expecting them to show THE Pedro fancam that went viral on TikTok and was somewhat disappointed that they didn't but it didn't fit the skit so it's okay, but the "students" just weren't it for me-still, Pedro delivered incredibly. The news skit was decent, not as good as the rest but still watchable. Pedro as momma was hilarious, again, his breaking the character added a bit of essence and it was fun to watch; also adored how they added Spanish and Spanglish. The ending skit with the steak was absolutely perfect, so fun to watch Pedro barely keeping up and yet again, breaking the character.
Overall, it's a nice watch. Pedro did a great job and I loved it.

Connect
(2022)
Waste of Time
16 December 2022
Just finished the show. Originally, I was looking forward to watching this as the cast of this one is really promising. The fact that it's a Disney+ original added another alluring feel to it.
However, it was a disappointment.
The acting was okay, but the storyline felt lackluster and incomplete; it had potential but something was definitely missing. The visuals were great though, some of the scenes were mesmerizing. But the lack of depth and character development was glaring. I wish the writers had done a better job with the plot.
They could have added more twists and turns and made it more interesting. It felt like the story was barely touched upon in the time given and could have been a lot more enjoyable if the writers had gone a little bit deeper into the characters and the story. All in all, it was okay, but nothing extraordinary.

The Midnight Club
(2022)
Flanaghan didn't dissapoint but didn't exceed either
8 October 2022
I expected it to be more creepy with more horror aspects after all the suspence and promotions promising this series to be a horror you've never seen on television. The first episode definitely did not disappoint in this aspect and created a strong start for the entire series. The children's stories were sometimes quite average and fine, other times fantastic. Nothing was unnecessarily drawn out. Towards the end (about episode 7) I found it more boring than the beginning but it was still okay to watch and the viewer enjoyed the whole series. Overall, Flanaghan didn't dissapoint me but didn't exceed my expectations either.
