The Indrani Mukerjea Story: Buried Truth (2024)
4 episodes? Really?
The ending of the 1st one I knew that it was about to end with Indrani herself appearing in front of the cameras. That is not a punch view anymore Netlfix, try anything different, we got tired of this kind of episode ending already.
Then we hear about their stories, director dont ask good questions, does not try to put Indrani o any other in a shallow waters, it remais in the deep. For instance: Indrani telephone call she states that Sheena in the month of her demise was trying to reach her about money. Then Indrani denies it in front of camera that Sheena asked for money. HOWEVER THE DIRECTOR DO NOT SHOW HER THAT VERY PHONE CALL where she says EXACTLY that. And it stays EXACTLY how it was before. Nothing new, no changes, no confronting makes this just a poor drama where we are desperate to find a really good screenwriter to arrive.
And all of that, should be put in a single episode.
Raël: The Last Prophet (2024)
This one is the worst doc about cult I have ever watched...
...so far.
Every time I see something about cult leaders I get very very triggered. "Why?" This is always the question in my mind. And: "I just can not understand people in general, but these ones I understand less." And I sincerelly feel a total despise about every one of them.
You can see some in this very doc series wearing that ridiculous necklace. Rael starts saying that catholicism is bad because you believe in someone with a white beard in the clouds, but, in the same direction he believes in green creatures, from, well, the sky. And also, he started his cult with baptism with, wow, WATER!
I can not understand these people, I think that must have some point in human brain that some alerts need to ring. I see that some of these got alerts when he, again, asked them to pay 10% of their salaries, and, haha 1% to the "prophet" hahaha like we tithe from the ahhh you know.
The thing that remains in my head is: Rael wanted only 2 things: money and sex. No money, no sex, and mainly when you are ugly af. Like he is. There are 2 kind of people in this world: the smart ones and their followers that are (Since I can not say the word here) well, not that smart.
The thing that really annoyed me more in this doc is that this bald horrible crearure is still alive. I liked the "wild wild west" because you get the relief that osho died. But there was still a bunch of not that smart people following him even after its death (yeah I used "it").
If you know someone that is falling into something like this, show them all of these kind of cult docs, watch with them, it is funny, there are a lot of things ti laugh at. And make the ridiculous thing evident, or, you should right in the begining stay away from this kind of friend because, you know: "A man is known by the company he keeps." So keep away.
Yuyeolui eumagaelbeom (2019)
The yellow dress got me.
Koreans do not know how to comunicate. It is the truth about them when you watch any movie, kdrama whatever, they hear, and can not express themselves, give some effective response, or even a nod to show if they understood something, or if they didn't for that matter. I do not speak korean, but as far as I can see, I think there are A LOT of missing words in their vocabulary. It seems not that extense, there are a lot missing to fill all the empty spaces, and when they seems to have somethingto add, they let pieces fall with no explanation and no will to get it right. This movie is like that.
The e-mail thing, I know E-mail at that time was in the begining, but, come on, if you know the adress, you can write and say: "Hey, I created another mail account to say, as a human, TO YOU, as another human who knows to comunicate that I do not know the password you have created in the previous mail account. Lets talk through this mail from now on, is it ok?" Boom, thats it, go ahead and create anything cooler.
And guys, the screenwriters, it is always them, do not know them, but I thought they have born lots of time after internet boom, so email was an ancient thing then, they did know how it works. They only now direct messages. Well. But, I wonder how many guys are in production? The actors? No make up staff? Camera guy? No one? No one could even raise a hand and say: hey, it does not seems credible, or maybe, JUST MAYBE, the characters are d.mb? Or the audience?
Also, it vould be a good story, if they do not act like they are in an eternal shame from themselves.
Also:
The movie story begins in 1994. It ends in 2005.
She is wearing the same yellow dress. Why?
Ahhh ok. There are no one paying attention on anything in this shallow story, since everyone only wants to see the beauty of the girl, Am I right?
Summer Strike (2022)
This k drama...
Starts well. Sounds good. Then you see it does not work.
She is a loser in the very begining, you feel sorry for her because she tries her best. However she decides to change her lifestyle then:
Goes to learn a life lesson, THE LIFE LESSON actually, in her almost 30's. Get along with kids. Sleeps in a dirt abandonesd couch. Get along with a probably muted guy.
Then nothing develops. NO THING!!!!!
It is painful. Dont get me wrong, The main character is cute, she is a good actress, great smile, great expressions. However, what is that character?
The lead boy whom was called "lady" as the female lead thought it was a woman in the library, looks like, well, a LADY.
I do not know wtf happens in s. Korea, where the boys are so annoyngly feminized, delicated, does not know how to act in front of a woman. And in this kdrama it is PROBABLY the worse so far.
You, somehow likes the girl, and expect her to have a happy life, but it never happens.
So, it is a story with no purpose at all.
Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)
HORRIBLE
I was really optmistic this would be a great movie, at least some good entertainment, thing that is almost non existent nowadays. Movies nowadays is about message, l., g bt thing, blacksoverwhites, feminazies etc.
This movie has a little of it... however these are not the bad point here. The bad point is: they just throw in our faces everything at once. Back and forth and back again and then forth and then back and then some jackie chan moves, and then some cringe and edgy jokes, just terribly awful.
It is a tremendous pathetic way to make some comedy, with dildos, guys wearing funny women clothings, glittered head explosions. You can see that the directors, writers have some of a good influence, they try hard to look like the good old cult movies, but they fail, fail because they probably are not gifted.
The screenplay is dull, non sense, get lost, try to be funny, the salsage hands part is just meeeeeh (WOW HOW FUNNY IS THAT!! GOD!!!! Sarcastic mode oN; WOOOWW HOW EDGY!!!! GOOD BOYs SCREENWRITERS, GOOD BOYs!) The scene of the swinging dog and it ending in the refrigerator, god, my god. That is joke for 8 year old kids, that did not see anything in their lives yet.
And the 7 oscars winning, well that says pretry much how this movie is a overrated piece of garbage.
Beuramseureul Joahaseyo (2020)
You feel comfortable...
This actress is a total perfection. I spent in this very series, the 16 hours impressed by her beauty. Not only her appearance, but her look, her smile, her energy...
There is something there that makes me feel comfortable, no reason at all, but I feel just like that: comfortable and somewhat happy.
However, the series starts well as mostly of korean drama series, fullfilled of something so naive that makes you smile, like, and than it gets UNBEAREABLE.
It is Ok being such naive, such ingenuous, soft romance, but, come on, the characters are almost 30 years old, and they are still living with their parents, barelly kisses in the mouth, never sleeps together.
Ok, we are not willing to see them lost in deep kisses and naked in the screen, but, not like that: sometimes they do not even hug themselves to say goodbye, or good night or FOR GOD SAKE, anything. They stop, waving hands in the air smiling like children.
And this starts well, we think we will learn more about Song Ah passion about musics, and ends up her giving up about it just, you know, to be a fianceè and forget about what makes us all start to care about. The screenwriters do not give attention about their audience, they starts something and then need to get some resolution no matter what. Makes a lot of chaos, but suddenly there is a solution, even if that solution is just not easy to swallow. Like, Jung Kyung an Hyan Ho ending, my god, what the hell was that?
Well there is a lot of good points, however that ending, actualy, after episode 8 they get totally lost, and when you get to the end the TERRIBLE feeling that you lost 16 hours of your life for a rubbish soap opera and it just does not feels right.
However...
At least...
Well...
There is Park Eunbin.
That worths. Because, you know... her smile makes you feel comfortable and, somewhat, happy.
Chihirosan (2023)
The slow pace and screeplay...
... makes this unbeareable.
The screenplayers need to pay more attention about it. There is no point of endless scenes with nothing interesting happening. If at least there was some beautiful landscape plus good soundtrack that fits on it, well, that is passable, however, long scenes, nothing happening, and then a short dialogue among some characters do not save the movie.
I think screenplayers, directors are still trapped in modern cinema, when they used to call it "art",how much of that garbage we saw in cinema? Losting and wasting the most precious thing we have in life which is TIME.
This movie is long, too long to be watched, and too long to be considered "art". I tried, tried hard, wasted 40 minutes, and, well, I gelt I lost more than that, when I take a look in streaming line and I saw it was 40 minutes, I thought: Dear god, 40 minutes and no plot twist, no character development, we barely know who the hell is Chihiro, why she got so interested in that old man? Why a bento shop to work? Why she brougjt that oldman into her house, gave him a bath and tried to drink beer with him?
Well, and than, the oldman dies, for all sudden, and well, you know? I just stopped right there because I was not interested anymore. There a too loose stories, none of them made me care about it. The kid with a fake snake, the school student and her photographs, her weird family, that transgender character. All of those was just thrown in the screen, and it is like screenwriters is telling us: "well, just watch it, there is no screenplay, there is no beautiful lines, there is no emotions, there is nothing to care about, nothing, just sit down in front of this led screen, and feel miserable watching this piece of terrible slice of damned life."
When I got it nowadays, that screenplayers are such pretentious, such selfcentered maniacs, I just pull of the stop button and move on. And, maybe someday they will learn what is cinema about: ABOUT ENTERTAINMENT, about say something meaningful, something at least beautiful, or, maybe, terrible, so terrible that even if you have a terrible time in your life, you can scape from that watching something. Not only seeing nothing happening.
This is far one of the worst movies I have ever watched.
Yi Guyeokui Michin X (2021)
Could have a 10 but...
Starts in a strange way, looks like it will get a typical dorama ending with no relief at all, you know, those strange and weird korean dorama relationships that they don't even hug themselves, and have tons of misunderstandings. However this one starts with a lot of comedian stylish, some of them exagerated, most kind of cringe, but it works, the actor is really good, however do not look like he is in his 30's. He looks way older than they intend to. But he is really a good actor. The girl is cute, acts well also.
But the main point of this review is the chemistry among them works well, however she looks younger than him, but it works.
Starts in a way that it would be the same as any other korean series, but when it comes to the last episodes it gets so tense that is marvelous, it is a real surprise when you see that something soft becomes dense, and with a darkish atmosphere.
In that point I could, for sure give this a 10, however the finalization is the bad thing here. I felt like the screenwriters got lost and they do not knew wtf do to finish it. They even tried to tell a history about the clerk girl, and that crossdresser guy, who is funny has a really good participation in the trama, but it felt like some break that did not felt ok, they did not do anything in like 10 episodes, then, fo all the sudden they tried to focus the clerk girl and the crossdresser one, just did not worked well.
And the final episode, it could be epic! But they spoiled it with some terrible car chasing some unecessary action, and the WORST: the Girl just have the worst decisions ever that is plan idiotic and do not felt real, nor fit with her character at all, the guy is the same, what you see is what you expect to see, so that is a firm character, and that grew in a believeable and reliable way.
Well but, however and therefore is a worth to watch.
Yeonmo (2021)
AVOID IT.
I fell in love with Park Eun Bin watching her marvelous role in "An extraordinary attorney" and then I started to search all of her work hoping to see a high acting level. Well this is where I got lost...
Woo Young Woo is Eun Bin's most recent role, so it is good to see HOW MUCH she improved her acting. I've started watching "hello, my twenties" stopped in the very second episode after puking my soul off, because that is unbeareable. It is made for teenagers, worse then that: it is meant for the dumbest teenagers you can even imagine!
"An extraordinary attorney " is what you can expect of every detail from writing, acting and chemistry among the actors. The casting is marvelous. So, hope Eun Bin get more attention and good screenplays for her because she totally deserves the best, because she demonstrated how good she is.
However, in this very "Kings Affection", the role should never been hers. She is just too perfect to fit in a role of a prince. But when I saw her in the final of the 2nd episode I gave up watching to avoid brain damage. I fell in love and this could make me hate her.
The screenwriters need to pay attention that audience are not that dumb, we can not buy it simply because we love that actress, or actor or even K-dramas. Casting someone like her is a disrespectfull thing to do not just to her, but to us. Come on, they have producers, film makers, makeup team, actors themselves and NO ONE BATS AN EYE to point out the screaming logic in front of them? WHY IN THIS EARTH a girl, a petite one, beautiful, with such perfect skin, perfect teeth, lovely smile, one of the most beautiful smile in this entire world could ever act as a male? And considering that she is the one, indispensable for this role, WHY IN THIS SACRED EARTH the makeup team, the producers and no one in this entire production did not even tried to cut her hair, make just a tiny effort to make her more boyish? WHY? Why they think that us, the audience, are a bunch of ret...ds? This is so disrespectfull that I will avoid any piece of dirt work the producers, screenwriters even try to do.
The uncle on the hunting scene mocked her because "he" was a soft boy, soft as a flower, and the very next scene he shot an arrow in her hair unwraping it and then, voi lá: he get way too much impressed on how the "prince" looks so much like a woman? Ohhh God, WHY? Why you guys treat us that way?
The series started well, the little girl was lovely, her acting also was very very interesting, however, only her. Because the boy, ohhh god the boy, the casting team, if it even had one, they did not have a uglier boy? Because that boy they casted with those sumptuous ears is much more suitable to do Smeagol in rings of power.
Well, since I watched 2 episodes, and QUIT after I found unbeareable they destroying an actress I fell in love, like I said in this very comment, O STARTED TO WATCH IT BECSUSE PARK EUN-BIN, AND QUITTED BECAUSE WHAT PRODUCERS DID TO HER. And this is all I have to say.
Go away now!
Jak-eun a-ssi-deul (2022)
Do yourself a favor: do not watch it. Spare your time.
Do yourself a favor: do not watch it. Spare your time.
It ok to see the screenwriters are dumb, however it is terrible when they think that the audience are dumber then they are. This is just the worse.
The story starts ok, you get curious. It is like when you are in a mall and see something good in the store, however, you take a closer look and see that you do not need it at all and turn your back and go home.
At the second episode I should stopped, and I am very very sad I didn't. So, save your time, go out, do something different, play some video game, read a book, take a shower whatever, but do not waste your time.
I think that the good reviews are from people that worked somehow with the production, and their families and some totally brainless or stupid.
And yet, I saw some bad reviews complaining about unaccuracy about vietnam war. Well, as a western guy that know just a little about vietnam war, I can not say nothing about it, however, I did not paid attention at all about it, it is the minor problem about this series. This is nothing compared with the spat in our faces watching it. The dialogues, the villains.
OHHHH GOD THE VILLAINS!!! Remember a terrible, the most disgusting soap opera you ever watched, like those from Mexico, multiply it to 10000 and you get how terrible the acting are. They try so hard that makes you cringe, almost buring your face in your own hands, and wishing that you never saw it.
And it get worst and worst...
The screenplay, they do not give a single s..t about you, they arrest people, and IN SOME FEW SECONDS LATER the arrested people a free doing something bad ass, they are hacking some device and showing to a crowd a video made from a DEAD GUY! I am still curious how they got the video recording from a dead man, and this dead man just disappeared, no questions asked. And than everything just goes happening frame by frame convenently, that makes it hilarious, just mediocrity at its best!
Well, however, the two elders sisters are cute, and that's probably why I endured till the end.
First Love (2022)
This is a must see, for sure. But...
This is a must see, for sure. This is a special drama, well acted by young actors, not that good with their older versions, but it is just some kind of lack of chemistry, not that they are bad actors, however older Namiki is not in that atmosphere of how much he missed Yae, and how their destiny went to a total unexpected way.
The first 5 episodes are the best, I could not even stop watching it. Even it was 3 am and have to work at 7am.
However when I reached the 6th episode the slow paced scenes, nothing to add, the paralel drama between Uta and Tsuzuru is just mehhh.
No one, I think, give a damn about their story, we started to care about namiki and yae, not her son.
The ending, well, this is the worst part, the episode seems to be 7 hours long, Yae singing on Karaoke with Uta, Yae driving taxi endlessly, and the main plot was totally forgotten. And well, she traveling back to find Namiki in another place is just meehhh too.
However, it is a mist see. It should be only 5 episodes, with an alternative ending because this one is just a cold water shower in our heads.
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners (2022)
Does not worth your time.
This is more hyped than the game.
I started to watch it because all the good reviews I saw in internet. However there some points to consider:
1- If you watched some art like Berserk, Claymore, Inu Yasha etc... this is JUST GARBAGE. The animation is as lazy as it can be. It is terrible, it is like you are watching lazy american cartoon photographs. It is not an anime. It is just a lazy cartoon terrible graphics, terrible, I think it was drawed by a monkey.
2 the storyline: it is not deep as it try to be. They tried too hard, and when you try too hard, it is because you are not that inspired to do so.
3 the soundtrack, ohh god I had to watch it it muted.
4 the only good point on it: it is a real spin off the game, the only thing I really enjoyed there.
Girl in the Picture (2022)
It is like some greek tragedy.
The storie is heartbreaking, even more if you are a parent of little child, even more if you are a girl 's parent.
However some points to be considered here:
The Pimp woman clearly lies all the time. Maybe the director here don't give attention about all lies because she was listening to what she wanted to, not the real truth. And we all know how the truth is cruel in life, and worse in strip clubs, prostitution etc... drugs, abusiveness, violence. Rich parties? No men touching the girls at the strip club? They making up 1k dollars with no sex involved. Yeah right. It almost sounds convincing if those rich men are stupid, however, I think men wants something more than watch some nude girls even more if they go to a strip club. The reality here is: the pimp did not give a dam f.... about no one, it was only business and that's all. Why in this damned world she could not do anything to help the all loved and special Suzane, a.k.a sharon? What was that shallow storie about Sheryl, the Italian girl? She confronted Sharon's dad to protect Sheryl, and that was the last time she saw her? WTF? Really? No one here finds this very very suspect?
Sharon's mother is a piece of s. If she knew Clarence, and knew he abducted her daughter, she is worse then Clarence, she let Sharon have a terrible life, did not gave any s##t About it and have a courage to speak at this documentary. My god. If hell is real, that woman deserves the worst part of it.
The ellegedly school friend. She was surprised Sharon married her own father. Yet years before that she witnessed her getting raped by her dad. AT A GUN POINT? Why? Why? And at her own words: Sharon was ok about that? Why Clarence needed a gun? That does not make any dense at all! It would make sense if she was raped, not Sharon.
The gay guy friend that appears in this documentary, he appears... well why the hell he appears in this documentary?
The Suzane's sisters. Where are they?
Suzane's first child, where is he/she?
Why, and in what circumstances Sharon died? What did led her in that street where she was found? Who found her? Who killed her? WHY FBI took only a part of this case and well, Michael's mother has been murdered, lets ignore it and move forward with life. The only interests is: who was that girl? (BUT NOT WHY SHE GOT MURDERED? And who did it?) My god. One more in the list that dint guve a s##t about Sharon.
This is much more sad when you observe with this point of view, when you finish the documentary and these questions are still in the air. That Sharon or, Suzane was alone in this world, she need to struggle withe her miserable life on her own since she has born. Did not have love ever! From anyone: mother, Father, friends, pimp, italian girl, gay guy... no one. But they all do what everyone nowadays wants to do: VIRTUE SIGNALING.
The Tinder Swindler (2022)
This is simply bad.
You know what is good in a documentary?
Some interesting and very very unimaginable happening. Some different characters you almost don't believe they existed.
This documentary here does not have it. It is about a random and ordinary guy, and a random and most ordinary girls, which only seeing them in this documentary you see they are the typical people that need to be deluded, deceived and everything those type of guys do.
When you see it comming you just can not be envolved, you see and cringe from it, it is so terrible it hurts your intelligence, you lose your hope of a better and more smart society.
Love on the Spectrum (2019)
This show is a real gem
I was skeptical about this show at first, thought it would be boring as I do not know anyone or never interacted with someone autistic, I gave a try.
And I Was surprised with it. I liked it so much I came here to read users reviews and I am very happy that the most of reviews here are from people that appreciated it, without being rude, or pointing out some preconception.
However, some of the reviews are from some self called autistic (self intitulated) saying that they felt unconfortable because the show was disrepectfull with people and exploited them.
However, they (self intitulated autistic reviewers) saying that about the casting being exploited/disrespected is the most disrespectfull thing I could read here, mainly coming from people self intitulated with some kind of spectrum!
I found this show very very respectfull with everyone in it, after watched it I definetely know how to act if I met someone with asperger, or something, and probably, if I did not see them in this show, I would act much more different without knowing what to do, or to say now I know that I need to be calm, give them space/time being pacient to hear what they want to say and being prepared to hear something or expect them to be in some discomfort etc.
However, some people in this very show, IMO, looked like actors, they were strangely acting akwardly and in the very next moment them were ok, and then they looked like just a regular person with no disabilities whatsoever. And it was not only one. And that is what I did not liked because it seemed kinda forced and skipped them.
And If, and only if they are not from spectrum etc, that would be disrepectfull with audience and much more with people like Michael, Mark etc...That's why I gave 9/10 however, this show is a must see for sure!
The Andy Warhol Diaries (2022)
unPOPular Opinion, but...
Andy was not a genius, I saw here and there some of his works, never got impressed, never brought me anything loke when we see some real beautiful art, or in clearer words: REAL ART. That is not art, it is just some poor representations of decay. He pick up something famous and put it in another colors, four squares with different shades and that's it. Maybe, and just maybe because that time people did not have tools like photoshop or something like that. But, come on guys, it can be something that time, but we can not worship crazyness like that untill these days.
Some art, that is really significant yes, like some beautiful landscapes painting, some absolutly gorgeous paintings, sculptures from michelangelo, Da vinci just naming a few of them.
Well, that being said lets move to the documentary. Well, that thing called documentary did not said a single word about you read untill here in this very comment. They make the most boring, slow paced, terribly narrated by a AI with Andy's voice, they focused in his diaries like it is said, but, just that, and, it is not that good, it is more boring than my life is, nothing to be proud of, nothing wonderful, just mediocrity.
And the focus on the gay world, that make most of people sick nowadays, because it did not matter, we heard about it, and it's ok, However they are super ultra mega power trying too much to drag our attention on that, which, forgive me, does not matter. We don't care if he was gay, ugly, short, tall, black or white, anything like that. I was alone in my house, and saw that tittle and thought myself: ohhh maybe, just MAYBE I can learn something new from this guy, whom everyone likes, says that is the top os the 80's artists ever. Lets go! And then you start to see, at the very begining that it will not develop anything but "ohhhh god, this again Netflix? Cmon!!" And shut it down.
Worst Roommate Ever (2022)
Not sure what is worse
The perpretator Jed Creek or Alex Miller. That was very very veey difficult to understand. However. Only the Dorothea was a really dark atmosphere, it is sad abou Ramos, but that with the Yossef, god, there are 2 type of people: the idiots and the smart asses. Without idiots, the smart asses can not live.
Oats Studios (2017)
If the intention is being bad at story telling...
... they were successful.
The first episode is very good, it could be developed well, I think it was the only one they sat down to write the script, other than that, it looks like it was written by someone really under the influence of bad drugs, and that has an iq of a fly.
Cooking with Bill must be the worst of all, without a doubt because that's when I gave up on. LOL.
Jigeum uri hakgyoneun (2022)
In a few words:
Those korean kids acts like they have some kind of retardation themselves. It is too far from reality. I know, zombies are far as well, however it is about them before turning into zombies. My god, they do absurd things, when they are trying too much scaping from zombies is ridiculous, they go out the building go back inside, no one even tries to scape from there.
The drama itself do not convincing anyone. What I observed: they are smarter when they get infected, what is hilarious, I do not know how young Koreans are actualy, but if they are like that then South Korea has dark times upcoming. The scenes, their decisions, everything is a lame in this terrible series. I think if there is some screenwriter that is an idiot, ok. But there are: producers, directors and actors themselves. How, in this world that could be convincible? HOW in this world? I fear that from few years ago to the future, the cinema is not an art anymore it is just a bunch of crazy inflated egos trying to do over and over the samep s..t.
Archive 81 (2022)
Wanted to like but...
It get worse and worse. The casting! Ooohhh god the casting!!! Nowadays they do not even bother to acting. Nowadays it is just casted if: you are black, gay or women or you bow down to someone. Only that. The main character, Dan looks like a guy who is waiting for something to happen anytime, probably the script of the director for some hints what to do next. He just do not fit there, you can not understand his ellegedly suffering, you do not get involved because he is there, and what he can do is: smile just a little wathing those (BORING) footage, and get his eyes wild open desperately trying to show how scared he is, and it is just it.
He is not, you can not buy it. His friend, the fat guy, he looks like those marvel fanboys always trying to be funny, with some jokes, some tirade and that does not fit very well because the interlocutor (Dan) is sleeping just waiting to the recording session finish asap.
The girl, Melody, in other hand, tries, but tries too much, and fails every time, she can not convince anyone she is in deep suffering, that character is shallow, as shallow as a puddle. Come on, they do not have any auditions to actors anymore? Are they chosen based ON WHAT? The screenplay is not that bad. Also not that marvelous, but with some good actors it could be something. People who liked it liked for other reasons than its merits.
Crime Scene: The Times Square Killer (2021)
Well this is as boring as it can be
I was curious at first, but after 20 minutes there is nothing relevant about the case, the plot twist is inverted, instead of discussing about the fire and the victms found, they drag attention to the sex workers at that time. There are interviwers that adds ANYTHING to the murder and crime storie, they are there just talking, filling up the docuseries with nothing.
I don't know what directors, producers and netflix think when they are dragging the stories too much, listening to that people talking about nothing. It is like those seniors sitting in a bench at the park telling ol'stories, and you are there sitting and listening but willing to get out as fast as you can.
The Witcher (2019)
Who likes this, did not read the books or did not played the game.
If someone find this terrible adaptation good in something, CAN NOT have anything of the witcher world in their minds. Because it is praticaly a rape on entire work of the book and the game. This is so terrible in so many ways it hurts. Geralt is weak, full of flaws, almost a secondary character. In the books he is smart, strong, brave and always find a way to help others, no matter what. And, well in this terrible adaptation we all saw him punch Jeskier's face, something he would never do.
And the casting? For god sake that's something that let entire world doomed it is a spit on our faces, with no mercy. Fringila Viggo is the worse, but Yennefer, so wonderful in the books, marvelous in the game, is a ugly and talentless girl. Triss is something that they throw up in our face to mock us. Black elves? For god sake, that DO NOT EXISTS in Witcher world, the Brokilon Dryads, my god, when I saw it I almost puked my guts off. Even Henry is not a good choice, he said he played the witcher 3, TWICE, and he is not slightely close with what Geralt is. He provably did not payed attention on what was going on on games or, he is the worst player ever.
I lost the first entire season just because I was mad with miself, but I will never continue to watch it because I do not want a brain cancer or an heart atack. Please do yourself a favor: AVOID IT AT ALL COST!
Dig Deeper - Das Verschwinden von Birgit Meier (2021)
Too long to be good
The story is good. But could be told in 1 episode, maybe 2. The scenes are too long some images pulling out with no valuable information, random music, comments by interviewers that repeat forever and ever. Well netflix thinks that docs like these need suspense, thrill the viewer but with that storyline repeating, saying again the same thing over and over makes us sleep.
Calls (2021)
I was thinking it was impossible to watch. I should listened to my thoughts.
At first when I saw it was phone calls, I thought: it is not for me. I don't even like podcasts imagine an entire series? But I gave it a chance.
But, my friends. Listen to me. If you like sci-fi movies, some paralell universe movies or books for that matter, some "back to the future", or "12 mokeys" things. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME: This is a low budget production, with a bad screenwriter, probably a newbie one with so much arrogance and narcisism that he forgot a lot of gaps and probably was too lazy to think more about it.
It is cringy, it is for teenagers. If you have some relatives that is 12 years old and want to make them interested in basics of sci-fi movies to show them what really matters, this probably will catch em all. It is as d...b as a 12 years old teen. And maybe, just maybe, if they do not sleep with all those comversations, and get in the end of this, probably you will be able to show them the good sci-fi movies.
Koe no katachi (2016)
It is dense and intense.
After watching this masterpiece I felt think8ng about it for hour afterwards. The scenes develops in a different pace, sometimes too fast sometimes too slow however both of situations, it is beautiful. The animation is marvelous, fantastic. The characters are deep, kaybe too deep for younger or teenagers, that probably will not understand why they act like that. Because it is about depression, and friendship. So if you are expecting to see some romance, (loke I was, I admit it) do not expect it, so my review must be a spoiler here, because I was surprised how it ends up just they realizing what they really needed all the time.
