This is not a sci-fi film, nor an action film or coming of age film, this is a character drama. And when it is that, the movie really works. The funniest thing is that the film is at its weakest when it attempts to be anything other than a character drama. The dystopia setting is beautifully shot but only works when it aids the character drama.

Happy new year, 2022 wasn't my most efficient in terms of output, and so I believed it may be time to "hang up the writing gloves". Even beginning to write my final post, a final goodbye to the blog I have ran for the past eight years. But as 2023 rolled in, NETFLIX recommended a … Continue reading QUICKLY REVIEWED: KALEIDOSCOPE
Often, I dabble in genres and TV shows I would have never imagined I would watch. I enjoy watching shows from other countries in other languages as it gives a different insight. Whilst I often watch shows from other countries, I very rarely review them. In fact I have only reviewed three foreign language TV … Continue reading ALICE IN BORDERLAND SEASON 2 REVIEW
This is a spoiler-free review. After not posting for almost a month, I have done the remarkable and posted two reviews in one day! Although I may use needing to write this review as an excuse as to why I have binged five episodes of Money Heist, the truth is I absolutely adore La Casa … Continue reading LA CASA DE PAPEL [MONEY HEIST]: PART 5 VOLUME 1 REVIEW
This may be a surprise to some, especially coming from someone who claims to be an 'aspiring critic' (although I am currently sitting on two reviews in the past three months...😬), but I don't review everything I watch, and I watch ALOT. Simply put, I either look to enjoy something or tend to watch something … Continue reading WHO KILLED SARA? (¿QUIEN MATO A SARA?) REVIEW
It has been a week since the release of Shadow and Bone on NETFLIX, and I am once again uploading a review a week late. The truth is, I wasn't sure if I was going to give Shadow & Bone the time of day, I already had (and still have) so much on my plate, … Continue reading SHADOW AND BONE SEASON 1 REVIEW
Very rarely has a show shocked me in quality, Cobra Kai was a show that really did surprise me. So much so, I wrote a post on just how good the show was. So, I spent the weekend watching Season 3. I really loved Season 3, not as much as I loved the first two … Continue reading COBRA KAI SEASON 3 REVIEW
Here we are, at the annual update of my blog. Normally, prior to releasing an update post I would release several posts recapping the year and previewing the next. Last year, I felt incredibly guilty because I only released one post. I had intended to do a podcast in which I recapped the year and decade … Continue reading 2021: HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Cobrai Kai? Really? Why? That was my reaction to any news I have ever seen about that show. Whether it be a comment on twitter, or an article or even a YouTube video. Cobra Kai? I would never watch that, hell - even if they put it on YouTube for free I wouldn't watch it. … Continue reading COBRA KAI IS ACTUALLY GOOD?
