Another Life: 1x01 Across the Universe

They lost me at around half episode. Can't stand that crew, much less give a damn about them (except Niko and William, those characters are well written, and literaly hold the show together). After finishing the first episode, found out the series was cancelled already, no there's no point for me to watch any more.

Halo: 1x01 Contact

It's like a very bad Halo fan-fiction. The first 16 minutes had potential, but that was lost by the episode's end.

Pretty Girl

A literal copy of "Pretty Woman", that actually isn't half bad at all. It add a more human touch to the characters and is more upbeat and modern.

The Book of Boba Fett: 1x06 Chapter 6: From the Desert Comes a Stranger

Damn. Goddamn. This is the best episode so far. Pure delight and joy, and some of the best Star Wars canon to date.

Star Trek: Prodigy: 1x06 Kobayashi

This is what I call "to boldly go...". A wonderful episode that respects the legends, and builds up upon them to reach for the stars.

The Book of Boba Fett: 1x01 Chapter 1: Stranger in a Strange Land

This is what I call the Sergio Leone approach to Star Wars. Taking its time to flesh out the character, and giving us the answer to many questions we never knew we had. Excellent episode.

The Matrix Resurrections

The visuals are alright, nothing to write home about. What is to be expected from any blockbuster nowadays. However, the plot feels like it was written in a napking using crayons. I'm not sure why they even bother to release this nostalgia-driven mess.

Ghost Stories

It reminds me so much Inside Number Nine. The original theater play is a must-see.

Wrath of Man

It's kind of strange because it doesn't feel like Statham movie or Ritchie movie. It has good moments, but those moments feel disjointed. It is a far cry from previous movies of both. However, it is a solid pop corn film, at least for me.

Loki: 1x01 Glorious Purpose

Excellent opener. It sets the right tone and keeps things moving. Sadly, this season is only 6 episodes.

Army of the Dead

Not a good movie, by far. Very predictable as the plot really is quite simple and many times makes no sense at all. Very cheesy and the ending is really a downer, quite depressive indeed. However, it has excellent shoot-them-up action sequences and it looks amazing on the screen. Really nice photography, make up and VFX. The moral of the story is - at least for me-, don't you dare to care for any of the characters. None of them. The documentary of the movie is way better than the movie itself.

Tom Clancy's Without Remorse

It feels like a nice TV pilot episode, it has excellent action scenes and the acting is overall good. Michael B. Jordan does a decent job as a lead, and for a German movie, it's quite good. However it has nothing to do with Tom Clancy's novel, and that's a shame. Hope the follow up movie doesn't mess with the novel they mention in the after credits scene.

Silk Road

The problem with this film is that glamorizes Ulbricht's intentions. Better watch Deep Web (2015) instead.

The Beast

As the italian response to Taken, this is a solid, fast paced film with great CQC sequences. Better than expected.

Wonder Woman 1984

Not a good sequel. It has its moments, but the plot is almost laughable. Very disappointing.

The Midnight Sky

One of the most depressing films I have ever seen in my entire life. I do not recommend this one to anyone emotionally struggling during the pandemic. Awful, awful ending.

Seduced: Inside the NXIVM Cult

A true eye opener about the inner workings of a cult, told by its victims.

Law & Order: 13x09 The Wheel

This episode features Tzi Ma as a former major of Tianjin, where Mulan (2020) was shot. He also appears in that movie. Odd coincidence, given all the backlash for the concentration camps.

Star Trek: Discovery: 3x03 People of Earth

So far I'm liking the way the story is going, and the organic introduction of characters. It is a pill kinda hard to swallow that things have gone this way with the Federation. However, it reminds me some of the plot in the later DUNE novels, and some proposed plots for a follow-up series after ENT wrapped up and Star Trek Online. I am willing to give it a go.

Star Trek: Discovery: 3x02 Far from Home

Michelle Yeoh really steals this episode. So far, so good with the story and character development.

Well, it is promising as a new season opener.

Perfect Blue

This film was way ahead of its time. I love how it reels you in, and never lets you go.

I love that I didn't see that one coming at all. Great ending.

Stunning episode. Just brilliant acting.

Inferno

Awful adaptation of a fairly decent novel. An atrocious change at the end make it unbearable.

Inside No. 9: 1x01 Sardines

The last 4 minutes make everything fit right in. Awesome plot twist.

6 Underground

What a mess of a film!. A total waste of budget with a paper thin plot full of holes. The worst Michael Bay movie, so far.

The Tower

Basically a so-so remake of The Towering Inferno (1974).

The Meg

A huge amount of changes were made from the plot in the original novel. From the color of the shark, the ethnicity of the cast, and the place in earth where it happens. It really is a popcorn movie made for a Chinese audience, fully intended to please them, and it really does so. That's why it is so bad. I'm glad Jason Statham had a nice pay check for this one.

Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045

The first season of GITS SAC 2045 is so uneven and poorly written, that you can skip the first 5 episodes without losing a single plot point. The whole story could be summarized in 60 seconds of dialogue. The remainder six episodes are uneven, but enjoyable, except the last one. Now, the CGI is VERY distracting and subpar, with only a few highlights here and there. The producers made a poor choice leaving behind their wonderful ARISE hand-drawn animation style just to settle with a PS2-era garden-variety CGI fare. The music is intrusive and bombastic in many episodes, but there are a few good pieces in the last episodes. As the next season will keep the same look and plot, it's a shame this opportunity for a true GITS series is lost.
