Chosen
(2013)

The show is going downwards..
First of all, this TV series is not your typical one. Every season is 6 episodes which are 20 minutes long and are released simultaneously. That said, we can look at the show more like separate 2 hour movies.

The first season was excellent. I really liked the intensity and the suspense. Everything was really fast-paced and it was interesting to watch. The ending was also very good. It was no surprise to me that it was renewed for a second season. I really waited forward to seeing the the next episodes.

Although I had bigger hopes for it, I have to say it was OK. The ending, on the other hand, was shocking and wrong. Why did they kill of the main character in the show? I think this is where the ratings got lower. The show lost it without Milo.

The third season was more or less a mess. I may check out the fourth season if there is one but just to see where the show is going, not because I'm enjoying it very much.

P.S - I am surprised why the show isn't classified as a Thriller or an Action. Can somebody explain?

Need for Speed
(2014)

Even better than I expected!
Growing up, I was a big fan of Need for Speed video game series and I used to play them a lot. I was really excited when I found out that there will be a movie. On top of that, I am a really big fan of Aaron Paul mainly because of his role in Breaking Bad. Anyway, I thought that it would be just an average movie but it was better than I expected. It is true that we have seen thrilling car chases in Fast & Furious, but I enjoyed this one more. I don't know why there are all these negative reviews about this movie. It has unexpected moments, the plot is surprisingly intriguing, the acting is brilliant and it is overall brilliantly shot. Watch the trailer before watching the actual movie, it's also really well-made. I don't just recommend this movie to all the fans of the video game series, I think everyone will enjoy it.

Intersections
(2013)

Terrific movie!
First of all, seeing the rating, I thought the film would be average, but when I actually saw it, i was impressed. It's definitely underrated. The film has it all - unpredictable plot, good acting, interesting characters, suspenseful moments etc. The actors were unknown to me, but they did a very good job. Although the film was shot pretty much in one or two locations, it didn't get boring because of the intriguing plot. Along the way, you learn more and more things about the characters and it's quite interesting to follow their story. I really don't know why this is such a little-known film. It was pretty intense from the beginning and I definitely recommend it to all drama/thriller fans.
