The 100 (2014–2020)

Good but not great

[7/10 · 27 January 2018]

Really thought it might be something to get hooked on to but when I started watching it turned out not so great. It was good but not good enough.

Lucifer: All About Her (2018) Season 3, Episode 12

another great episode

[9/10 · 27 January 2018]

Really like the starting of the episode about Cain and Lucifer's talking. Really like seeing Lucifer getting so worked up. Didn't think that Dan is into surfing. And really didn't like Ella being so down. It really is funny to listen to Lucifer mention Trixe as "needy offspring" and other names he likes mentioning her by. Well Pierce is right that Ella talks too much but thats what Ella is about. It is her charm that makes Ella , Ella. Lol, never expected an angel getting chlamydia(Turns out it was a false alarm). Amanediel is acting more like Lucifer in that department than Lucifer himself. I really find it funny how Lucifer always end up upsetting Dan whenever he speak to him. But Lucifer really needs to listen to others fully before getting to his own conclusion but that will not be Lucifer we like. Really sure that Lucifer helping Chloe with the case files on her desk might have resulted in the increase of her work load instead of reducing it. If Cain didn't make Lucifer's wings appear then who did? God? and if god, why? Really want to know more about this in the upcoming episodes. Would have been nice if the title of the episode was "A Deal with the Devil".

The Big Bang Theory (2007–2019)

One of the best sitcom

[10/10 · 27 January 2018]

Love the show since the moment I started watching the first episode. Never thought that it would that fun to watch when i started it but just after 2 episodes i was hooked. Really the comedy and the dialogues are amazing. I wonder where they came up with this stuff? Sheldon is the best character in the series and really praise to Leonard's character for how he kept up with him for all these years. Raj is kind of getting boring along the years but with Howard there to keep him company he is still able to bring out some laughter. A bit bad that Raj is the only one in the group with no girl, but it can be understandable based on the behavior of his character. I really love the show even though in the last 2 seasons it been a bit lacking as compared to when it started running but still it never gets that boring, that you would want to stop watching it. I hope they add some more interesting elements into the play so to keep the show alive otherwise it might really get to the point where it will not be that fun anymore.

Atomic Blonde (2017)

Good for one time watch

[6/10 · 27 January 2018]

I really expected a lot more from this. Especially from Charlize Theron, though her fighting skills were pretty good, but she was not that great as i expected her to be. But i have to say really fan of James McAvoy, he really played his role perfectly. That madness, that craziness and that recklessness was really portrayed perfectly by him. Charlize did good too but she was a bit lacking if i compared her to James in this regards. The moment James was dying and Charlize called him Comrade Satchel i had an inkling that she might be the one who is the real Satchel but never thought that she was triple spy. Sofia Boutella's role as the French spy was nicely played but to be truth i really didn't like it that much. But man that Russian guy was really persistent who was the last guy Charlize fought in the building before running away with injured skyglass in the car. That was really fun to watch.

Lucifer: The Sin Bin (2017) Season 3, Episode 10

10/10 Nice episode

[10/10 · 24 January 2018]

As always starts with Lucifer whining about himself. He is really annoyed about not being able to find about Sinnerman's weakness. Ella really talks her mind out loud. She is really a good add to the team and the show. Keeps the show running by running around her mouth. And whats the deal with her hugs? Man she got to stop doing that. But the Sinnerman doesn't seem that Sinner or evil as per his name. Was really funny when Lucifer and Pierce were talking about Moby Dick, Chloe took the first run at the sinnerman. But doesn't look like sinnerman have a sidekick. Something else might be going on. The skating match was really fun. Lucifer's enthusiasm really keeps the show running when he is really on to prove himself right and others wrong. The lucifer and Chloe's busting sinner man plan was really interesting and the way Ella took the initiative to make Pierce feel better was really totally A little bit of Ella that what the doctor's ordered. Didn't expect Charlotte babysitting Trixie, that was really surprising even when i saw that smile on Trixie's face when she met her. Really didn't saw this coming. "You are the mom, You make the rules." nice advice from Trixie with a really important question after that. Well played by Trixie. Dan's really a sucker for sweets. Didn't really expected Pierce to turned out to the First murderer Cain.

The episode over all was really interesting and really loved watching it.

The Flash: When Harry Met Harry... (2017) Season 4, Episode 6

Season's not too dull episode

[8/10 · 24 January 2018]

Really hated the Ralph's outfit. It was really too dull and lacking and not upto the standards as compared to the rest. All the Wells together in the Council of Wells were good but could have been better. The half machine Wells was really not that good and neither was the German one. They were really overplayed, could have been some other kind of Wells that might have been interesting. And finally some info about DeVoe finally coming up soon. Really not the best Villain in the series so far, he is really lacking in the being Villain department. We still have no clue as to what is going on, which is okay as there are still many episodes to go on in this season. The first meeting of DeVoe and Barry Allen was pretty surprising as per how they were all geared to go do battle and get the guy really for this time before the Villain develops to be the bigger problem, but the shocking part was to see the Mechanic being Thinker's wife. Really, didn't expected that coming. The funny moment was when Wells mentioned having friend and talked about it being a task and he likes to complete tasks.

Overdrive (2017)

Not up to the Mark

[5/10 · 24 January 2018]

I think the movie was okay but still not up to the standards where it can be called a good movie. It lacked many things, even the car chase and stunts were not that amazing. The graphics i can say was okay but still the car driving skills lacked too much. There was really no plot to the movie, it started and went with the flow. There were no twist no suspense nothing. The story was totally plain and not worth it. The acting was okay but there were some scenes where you were able to tell just what is going to happen next. They really lacked expressions and sometimes over expressed themselves. To sum it up, just one time watch movie that too if you want to just pass out time. If you really want to watch for a good time then it might not be the one for you.

xXx: Return of Xander Cage (2017)

No story line only action

[7/10 · 30 August 2017]

This was the best among all of movies in the xXx franchise. There was a lot of action in it. And also the graphics and directing of the movie was good too. The only thing it was lacking a good script. Like all the previous movies in the franchise this one too lacked a good script. The only reason it was a good to watch was the actors and actresses playing their part right.

I really would say Ruby Rose performed her role with great perfection.

But i didn't like the Tony Jaa's and Michael Bisping's role at all in the Donnie Yen's team. I mean their role really was not that important or did anything that significant.

Also Nina's nerdy look really didn't suited her at all. She was not looking that intelligent and her acting was a bit forced. She didn't knew what expressions she had to make when saying her lines. She didn't look her part at all. The old tech guy at least looked or acted like a techie in the previous movies. But she totally blew it. Even the part where she end up shooting for the first time was not played that good by her.

The movie when it started looked like it would be a god movie and might be something good in store for us as it goes on. Also i liked the entrance scene of Donnie Yen, Deepika Padukon, Ruby rose, Kris Wu and Vin diesel. That part can be considered to be good. But the story went down the hill after the team were formed. There was nothing that significant in the story line other than all people shooting at each other.

It is a good movie for you if you like to watch only shooting and action with no heads and tails of where the story is heading to but if you don't then it is not a movie for you.

xXx: State of the Union (2005)

Really better than the first part

[6/10 · 29 August 2017]

It was an improvement if compared to the first xXx. the action was better than the first one and also the graphics were better. Though the story line was not that great just like the previous one. They should really work on their script creating skills. The start was amazing and was looking that it can be a good movie but as we came nearer and nearer to end the movie started getting worse and worse. Whoever wrote it might have to do lot of editing for the ending and doesn't look that he was able to find the perfect one he was looking for.

Overall by experience of watching it was average. I hope they work on making a better one. As the concept on which the series is based is not that bad. It just need a good script.

xXx (2002)

Its good. Not too good but just good

[7/10 · 29 August 2017]

It was one time watch kind of movie. But it was worth the watch. Not too good but not bad either. The stunts could have been better. Its typical Vin Diesel movie with cars, bikes and action. But i can say the year it was made, with the animation and graphics available that year, the movie was well made considering that. The story was not that good. That was one the main bad thing about the movie.

Baywatch (2017)

The movie was not bad but not that good either

[5/10 · 28 August 2017]

I would say it was not that bad but not that good either. The movie could have been better. The actress playing the antagonist was not sinister or not funny either. If she had been any of those two then the movie could have done a bit better. Though i like few parts about the movie. Zac effron was okay, but a bit more could have been expected from him. Rock as always like in all his movies played the his role similarly.

I would say it is one time watch for some fun when you are bored and have nothing else to watch. It was not that great as it was expected to be.
