This was a good ending for the main trio but not for the others, particularly Isaac and Lenore, which was disappointing.

Castlevania: 4x03 Walk Away

Looks like Isaac's still the most interesting character in this show, followed by Alucard. The rest is just meh.

Sex/Life

A great litmus test regardless of its quality as a TV show. Nobody would bat an eye if the lead was a man who wanted to find himself and divorced his wife but switch the gender and watch people freak out lol. Fuck your hypocrisy.

Stranger Things: 4x09 Chapter Nine: The Piggyback

Drawn-out scenes, soppy dialogues, power of love bullshit, and a fucking cliffhanger as cherry on top. A garbage finale for a garbage season.

This was so much fun!

Donadona

A well made film that accurately portrays the cold reality of being an artist.

The Resistance

No idea what this film was trying to convey, it just felt so hollow and drawn-out.

Death on the Nile

Finally got around to watching this and yes, it's better than Murder on the Orient Express, lol.

This is one of my favourite stories by Christie so I was understandably wary of this film but they did good imo. First and foremost, such beautiful cinematography! Composition, framing, lighting - it's just chef's kiss. Script and dialogue were fine too, though acting could have been better. And I don't think Gal Gadot was a good choice for that role.

The story itself hit me differently this time, which was unexpected to say the least. I'd rather not go into detail here for spoilery reasons but that's probably because my perspective on life and death has changed a lot since I read the book years ago.

Stranger Things: 4x08 Chapter Eight: Papa

Oh god, they are still acting stupid lol. This wasn't as good as the previous episode but we got some more action at least. I love watching Eleven blowing shit up.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: 1x04 The Great Wave

Things are moving along nicely. Editing was a bit weird in a few places, though. And what's up with this director and his love of slow-mo sequences lol.

Still going strong. Númenor was absolutely stunning and Elendil totally stole this episode for me. Slow-mo horse riding sequence could have been done a bit more tastefully, though.

Marriage Story

From directing and cinematography to script and acting, it's a masterfully crafted film. And it hit too close to home.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: 1x01 A Shadow of the Past

I'm a huge fan of anyting and everything related to Middle Earth. I also work in media and understand that text and screen are different mediums so I judge The Rings of Power as it is: a television series.

They clearly put a lot of time, effort, and thought into this, especially in the pre-production phase. That's particularly evident in directing and cinematography. There are many creative and well-crafted scenes and sequences throughout. Use of colour and lighting is also top notch. Pacing/editing may seem fast but that's understandable since they have to establish many different characters and storylines within limited time. Dialogues and humour worked for me. Speech patterns are distinctive enough and I found them fitting for their respective races.

On a more personal note, it does feel amazing to go back to Middle Earth after all this time.

Fun to watch. And I love Margot Robbie.

Crazy, Stupid, Love.

Too cloying with all that "one true love" and "soul mate" bullshit but an entertaining watch nonetheless.

Not a big fan of Hathaway but she's adorable in this one.

365 Days: This Day

Worse than the first movie.

365 Days

Pure wish fulfillment aimed at women. Laura, like Bella from Twilight, is a blank slate so that readers/watchers can insert themselves into her character and there's nothing inherently wrong with that. The movie does what it sets out to do but from a filmmaking perspective it's simply not good.

On the other hand, it works as an excellent litmus test. There's a fuck ton of problematic male wish fulfillment stuff out there and nobody bats an eye but reverse the roles and oh my goodness! Yeah, fuck your hypocrisy.

Messiah: Season 1

All that supernatural stuff aside, it was interesting to see how this guy affected those around him. I wonder where the story will go in the second season.

Russian Doll: Season 1

This was a fantastic season. Writing was top-notch. Great performances from everyone. And the story was wrapped up nicely. I hope they don't screw up in the second season.
