Daniel Sloss: X (2019)
Watch the entire show
I'll try not to spoil the show for those who have not seen it. Let me start by saying this was my first time seeing DS comedy and I was truly amazed. Yes he's vulgar but the title should tip off anyone to that fact (avoid it if you have a sensitive ear). His comedy is self-deprecating and relatable at the same time. He weaves interesting stories together with a maturity beyond his years. Watch for those Nigel moments!
As for the "Ted Talk" ending some have found unsettling: it's pure genius. This is an intimate look at a serious, topical issue told as only a master comedian could.
Game of Thrones (2011)
Something for everyone
I've been watching this show with my wife since the beginning and will miss it when it comes to an end later this year. It's no surprise that scores of articles have been written about it because it's really THAT good. If you like in depth storytelling and character development, beautiful sets and spectacular special effects you must hop on the bandwagon and watch this show!
As a fan of the books, my only complaint is that the show has deviated from them.
The Water Diviner (2014)
Timeless story
Crowe makes a compelling story with timeless historical and political undertones. I really enjoyed this movie and appreciated Crowe's thoughtful use of lighting throughout the film.
Us (2019)
Unbelievably bad
I really wanted to like Jordan Peele's sophomore film. I really did. But it was horrible. The pace was plodding at best and the story was far from original. I would go so far to say just about everything in the movie was unoriginal. I felt like I was watching a movie made by a 17 year old budding filmmaker who was given a large sum of money to make the horror film if his/her dreams and decided to place all their favorite horror elements into one movie. Everything was taken from other movies: music, costumes, props...everything. It would have made some sense if it was supposed to be a parody like Scream, but it wasn't.
