Escape the Night (2016–2019)
8/10
Amazing and Funny
13 June 2019
What would a person from the modern day do if they go back in time to an era they know little to nothing about? Then, suddenly, they have to start voting each other into a death challenge or all of them get stuck in that time, or worse, DIE? These are not actors, they are YouTubers, and it's not scripted. It's a surreality show, where 10 guests must work together to defeat the evil keeping them trapped, or die trying. With humorous moments mixed with frightening situations and jump scares, it's never a dull watch!

Summer Wars (2009)
9/10
I Cry Every Time (KOI KOI!)
29 March 2016
Warning: Spoilers
I know this is a spoiler, but when every remaining free avatar rallies behind Natsuki, I always cry. After the bombing in France, the world actually united in the same way and I cried. In the movie, it took people losing their lives and everything needed to function for everyone to come together. In reality, it takes people dying. I cry for two reasons.

Movie: - It takes deaths and potential fall of society for people to unite - People do amazing things when they rally together

Reality: - It takes many deaths for us to unite - We can do great things (i.e. solve world hunger, world peace) if we can rally together like we do when people are having tragedies, but do it everyday

UNITY people! Apply it everyday for a brighter future. That's what I get from this movie. The perfect movie. Now, if I can stop crying, I won't get a stopped up nose. Then it would be a 10 out of 10!

P.S. Hanafuda (Koi Koi) is a great game. You need to get the app.

Mystery Diners (2011– )
8/10
Entertainingly Fake
29 March 2016
Of course the show is fake, but, let's face it, you aren't going to have the real people one there. Food Network spiced up the stories. They even put in the credits that everything is a "reenactment". That means that it's based on real events, not necessarily about Stiles and his crew. In other words, a real group of people did go through the events, but Food Network, for ratings' sake, exaggerated the story and events. Believe it or not, people do hire mystery diners to undergo a typical service and to infiltrate the staff. People actually get paid to do what Stiles and his team does, but not to the extent the show portrays. It's made to show real events entertainingly. And IT does it's job. Sure, things seem obvious to us as outsiders, but I've lived in a house for over three years and didn't notice big things in corners of the room or on furniture. Remember, it's entertainment based on real events, not actual events taking place. That's why I love this show. It's entertaining.
