The Amazing Race: 36x06 Our Alliance Strikes Again

The granny is useless. It was so clear that she was given a free pass at the soccer challenge and the other team helped the granny with the car challenge also. So frustrating to watch.

Meh. Not scary at all. Just boring and dumb.

Past Lives

Like watching paint dry. Absolutely nothing happens in the movie. What am I missing?

Reacher: 2x08 Fly Boy

Why did all the action sequences seem like Bollywood movie memes. The baddie kicking Reacher on the copter, just gives up all of a sudden like he accepted defeat. The baddie's underlings are so incompetent. They all come at Reacher one by one and collapse on the slightest touch.

Deep Water

Ranks amongst the worst movies I ever saw. The only saving grace was the little girl singing at the end.

Not the best Fincher movie you'll see

The Fall of the House of Usher: Season 1

I haven't read any of Poe's works, but from wikipedia, it looks like it is only loosely based on Poe's story and not a perfect retelling. I don't mind that btw. Though the plot is largely predictable by the conclusion of the third episode, the missing pieces are cleared in the very end. The jump scares interlaced throughout the series feel completely unnecessary for the plot to move forward. Overall, it's a decent watch.

Oppenheimer

I fail to understand why this movie was made. People who are actually interested, can just read the history or watch an actual documentary. This movie was filled with unnecessary personal drama, most of which is either incorrect or exaggerated. Oppenheimer never felt guilty of anything he did. He did feel sympathy for the innocent lives lost, and he was concerned about nuclear arms race. But he had no regrets till the day he died.

Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One

Doesn't hold a candle to the previous movies in the franchise. Plot was extra cheesy and action sequences were meh.

Billions: 7x12 Admirals Fund

The series peaked in the first few seasons. After that it was a gradual fall in plot and dialogue. Although in the earlier seasons too, the writing was quite bombastic, filled with more than necessary sports/movie references, the scheming between the two protagonists was realistic and elaborate. The show could've had a finale like Succession - unpredictable but grounded and humbling. Billions finale was predictable and thus, less memorable.

The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart

Every male character in the show is psycho and abusive and erratic. Too much elaborate mystery and fluff, surrounding what appears to be typical abusive relationship drama. Slow story, but excellent acting and cinematography. Personally, wouldn't recommend though.

The Idol: 1x05 Jocelyn Forever

3 stars for the Hunter Biden joke. Otherwise deserves a zero.

Speak No Evil

Pointless and dumb. I get the message that the movie wants to portray, but it's still idiotic.

Ted Lasso

Vapid, puerile and unfunny. The creators were clearly going for a feel good show for the single digit IQ crowd. The lovable idiot protagonist cliche arc isn't executed well. It ends up being unfunny, uninspiring, shallow, dumbed down stupid mess. Won't bother with the third season. Don't waste your time.

Loved it. Delivers on the scares. The ending got a bit silly.

John Wick: Chapter 4

The series peaked at chapter 2. 1 was great. 3 was decent and this was meh. You can just feel how old slow Keanu is here. They should have just wrapped it all up at chapter 3.

The Last of Us

It's a bore fest. Won't be watching past the 6th episode. Nothing happens. The girl is so annoying and unlikeable.

The White Lotus

Both seasons are great in their own way. Second season delves much more into the sexual profligacy and perversion of rich people, than the first. The first season shows the pettiness and selfish nature of the wealthy class, while they put on the facade of charitable individuals. One could say these characters are the caricatures of what poor people think what the rich really are. But I think there's a lot of truth in everything shown.

The Terminal List

With a plot that could have been written by a 15 year old and god awful action sequences, I don't get what the fuss is about.

Overrated garbage. So we have a philandering 17 year old named Erin who has been killed and then we go into a typical whodunit story. The writing is so extremely bad that every 10 min we are introduced to a new suspect. Who could it be? Her abusive father, her ex-boyfriend, her ex-boyfriend's girlfriend, the husband of Mare (Erin's teacher), a local church deacon, a local pyscho rapist in the town, or one of the two cousins of Erin's father? No...the twist is a 13 year old kid of Erin's father's cousin who killed her. Wow. I am sure I am missing many more suspects, all of whom do an incredible job of giving off pedo vibes. In fact, at one point the show would have had us believe every guy in that town was the suspect. I think this is lazy writing, not clever. Suspenseful for the sake of being suspenseful.

I loved Virginie Efira more than the movie. She is so insanely beautiful.

Pleasure

Quite brutal. Not on the level of irreversible but there was one scene which was too much. The movie doesn't glamorise the porn industry, which is a good thing.

The Night House

Initial half was great. But like all supernatural horror movies, it got too over the top towards the end.

This is like a kiddie version of Hostel movie series or the film Martyrs. It's nothing we haven't seen before.

The Sadness

Wasn't as bad as I thought. This isn't salo or irreversible or serbian film level depravity. You could see this movie with your friends and have a laugh at the end because of the over the top depravity and violence.

This would be a pervert's favourite movie to watch. For everyone else, there's nothing but sexual depravity.

Too slow. Too pretentious. Too boring. Thank god, it was 8 episodes. The show builds upto some grand supernatural plot. The ending was stupid. It's not the mother going around killing little girls because she is crazy but her sister because she wants attention. Okay. It's just a tv show. Let's move on. But how tf was her sister able to kill those girls without leaving evidences? How did she manage to put a dead body in the middle of the town without getting any attention. I loved Gillian Flynn for Gone girl, but this story wasn't any good.
