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.

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 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.

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 Last Thing Mary Saw

A combination of not scary and an ambiguous ending that doesn't seem satisfying whichever way you dissect it. Trailer looked promising, but it was a snooze in reality.

Don't Look Up

A far-fetched parody movie, but actually captures the mainstream media and our politicians' intellect pretty close. Half the world's population is dumber than baboons. So nothing is truly far-fetched anymore. I think the sole motive for the makers was to show how dumb people can get. So props to them. I did not find the movie too entertaining or funny. I like the message though.

The Morning Show

So this is how the elite white liberals in US news media live and talk. This is almost a caricature of what an average conservative would think of what a liberal in a city seems like. The dialogues are so cringe omg. The plot is so amazingly dumb. Aniston and Witherspoon are so annoying. None of the characters are likeable. Do any real person even remotely talk in a way these characters talk to each other?

Cellular

Really nice little action movie with great comedic elements. The Rick Hoffman scenes were really funny. the bad rating isn't justified.

The Flash

The writing dissappointed me more than the awful cgi. Still was a fun watch.

When Evil Lurks

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

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.

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.

Infinity Pool

It's a sh!tty version of White Lotus

Evil Dead Rise

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

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.

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.

Benedetta

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

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.

Going Places

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

The Batman

Too overhyped. Doesn't live up to my expectation. Cannot hold a candle to Nolan's movies. Not to be nitpicky, but as for a vigilante who will not use a gun to kill people, this batman sure doesn't mind a car chase that potentially would kill a dozen people.

So incredibly bad. Lol. Shit plot, shit ending, shit action. Kate tried her best. So 3/10.

Never Rarely Sometimes Always

Very bleak. I'd like to believe not all men are like what the men in this movie portrays. But to be honest, as a 20 something guy, I find that a very significant number of men are more or less the same. I sympathize with the women and girls who are in a bad situation. I felt miserable and helpless watching this. There were a few scenes where I expected worse things to happen. Fortunately they didn't.

The Dark and the Wicked

It did scare me. The plot is very basic though. For me, I like that they kept the plot simple. The movie deals with death and isolation. 7/10

Why Don't You Just Die!

Great movie. Too over the top. But I think that adds to the hilariosity.
