Bridgerton: Victory (2022)
Fun and engaging episode
I AM SO GLAD THEY DIDN'T MAKE ELOISE INTO A "I'M NOT LIKE OTHER GIRLS" TYPE AND NOW SHE CAN BREATH AS A REAL FEMINIST. I hope they don't force a 'romance' between her and that self-involved guy. I truly hope that Eloise's uninterest in marriage will be respected in later episodes and seasons. Although, the way this show has been regarding romance I am indeed ñot hopeful.
The sexual tension is really ramping up in this episode. In general, the emotional stakes for my favourite characters, be it the protagonists or not, are flourishing.
Absolutely adore the way the plotline with Lord Featherington is involving. It's both sad and weirdly hilarious.
I respect Daphne's involvement in these affairs.
Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber: Boober (2022)
Good episode.
Shows the prevalence of rape culture, the megalomania and lack of self awareness of dudes like Travis and the easily manipulated ego of self aggrandizing men.
Once again Joseph does an actor's job and happy to see the addition of such a legend as Uma That man.
Can't wait for what's next!
Diabolical: One Plus One Equals Two (2022)
Good episode.
What I love about Homelander is the truth to his power and influence.
This was a great origin story to such a character, since it depicts most realistically, as far as emotions go, and most gruesomely , regarding to the visuals and story , the reality of white cishet male ego. The constant refusal to do the moral thing just because his feelings are being hurt from the constructive criticism he receives and the heinous acts that happen because of he's insistence on self unawareness.
Would love for it to be expanded upon later on.
Van Helsing (2004)
FORCE GHOSTS!!!!
This is the best supernatural movie parody in the world. Worst part: The creator definitely took this way too seriously.
The dialogue is horrendous and unoriginal. It's like he took the worst and most cringey one liners out of comic books put them on steroids and crammed them into this movie. The actors may be good, but the directing is clearly horrible. I won't touch on the cgi since this was made in the early 2000s, but let's just say it really does not hold up.
High-Rise (2015)
It's a nothing
A very high budget movie with nothing to say. No nuances , no reading between the lines, nothing. A very 'we live in a society' film without the moral backbone to actually say something more or of value. A very self-indulgent mess. The actors may be good and the cinematography may be beautiful and engaging but that is not enough to save such a nothing movie as this one.
Also, why are the makers of this movie so determined to make us like wilder? Weird.
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier: Power Broker (2021)
High hopes!
I mean... those three are my favourite sitcom trio..
History of Swear Words: Bitch (2021)
Oooop!
Not me being unsurprised misogynists do not like to be called exactly what they are,which is MISOGYNISTS.
This is a very good essay on the usage of the word and what it means to people that it has been used to oppress for centuries.
Great job, Netflix!
The Umbrella Academy: A Light Supper (2020)
Since we're here....
I couldn't agree more with the other reviews. The attempt at Swedish was very very bad. BUT I would also like to direct your attention to their "attempt" at Greek. IT WAS ATROCIOUS. Honestly , at this point, with the American movies/series ... can they just stop? I mean if they do not want to hire a linguist or a native to the language person to advice them on at least how to make it not sound like gibberish ,then they can just stop. They can just use English. After all as a European, I can assure you my American friends , we are far better at speaking English than you are.
Love,
A frustrated cinephile from the Old Country
Spider-Man: Far from Home (2019)
Oh no!
Sightly disappointing....The credit scene although predictable was absolute gold. The villain was boring predictable and as far as I am concerned there is no twist. And since when is spidey so DUCKING stupid? ( because I can not swear.... ) Isn't he supposed to be kind of a genius?? Doesn't he go to a school for gifted kids? What the duck, man??
A Simple Favor (2018)
One of the best movies in 2018
I just love this movie. I shall not get into it now but review relatively soon to come. But I will say Anna is bad.
