Heartstopper: Perfect (2023) Season 2, Episode 8

Beautiful, just beautiful

[10/10 · 7 August 2023]

Such a beautiful episode. This entire season was beautifully written, directed, and acted. And this finale was a beautiful ending to a truly beautiful season. Loved Taylor Swift's Seven at the end.

My heart goes to everyone who struggles with their sexuality and coming out to parents. My heart goes to people like Charlie who gets/got bullies and live with the consequences. My heart goes out to people like Charlie that suffer from mental health issues. But there are parents like Nick's and Tao's that are absolute sweethearts. This episode is so important: shows how much Nick cares about Charlie, and how much they love each other, how much Tao loves Elle. Can't wait for the next season.

Joy Ride (2023)

Why is the rating so low here!!!

[9/10 · 5 August 2023]

I'm confused why the rating is so low here on IMDb. This movie is absolutely hilarious and fresh. I can't remember when I laughed this much in a theatre. The entire hall was laughing their a** off. All four actors did an amazing job and I love how they showed China and South Korea (I'm not from either place). But my only complaint is the ending, could have been more unpredictable and more fun. Anyway, I want a sequel with these four. I think the director did a very good job.

I would highly recommend it to people that enjoy comedy movies. I'm definitely going to wait for it to be on Netflix or something.

The Last of Us: When We Are in Need (2023) Season 1, Episode 8

Gosh!! What a rollercoaster ride!!

[10/10 · 6 March 2023]

This episode is perfection! The suspense, the thrill, the writing, the acting, the music, the atmosphere.... everything bone chilling perfect! Bella Ramsey was phenomenal, she really showed how good of an actor she is. Pedro Pascal was amazing as the ruthless "parent" looking for his "daughter".

I also want to praise the direction, the cinematography, and acting of the other actors, especially the psycho priest. I also liked the way it was revealed the cannibalism of the antagonists.

I can't wait to see what happens in the next episode. THE WAIT IS KILLING ME!!!! THE WAIT IS KILLING ME!!!!!!

Darlings (I) (2022)

Good movie

[7/10 · 6 August 2022]

I enjoyed the movie. It's well directed, well acted, good casting, and tackling an important issue. However, I thought the movie could have been shorter, like 1.5 hours or so. Some scenes felt over the top, some were unnecessary. Overall, it's a good attempt, so much better than typical pointless Bollywood BS. Kudos to the director.

The Haunting of Hill House: The Bent-Neck Lady (2018) Season 1, Episode 5

That horror! That perfection!

[10/10 · 29 September 2021]

This episode is Nell's story. We get to experience the horrors from her perspective. It was unimaginably scary, sad, and personal. What a brilliant rollercoaster ride, from Pedretti's acting, the brilliant art direction and score, to Flanagan's story telling. I was on the edge of my seat. Absolutely brilliant storytelling.

Midnight Mass (2021)

From star to finish, I was in awe...

[10/10 · 27 September 2021]

I loved this show. Cinematography, editing, score, acting, story, everything was brilliant. It's more than a horror show, very philosophical. Would highly recommend!

Game of Thrones: The Door (2016) Season 6, Episode 5

"Hold the door" is sheer perfection!

[10/10 · 22 May 2016]

*SPOILER FREE*

This episode is beyond amazing! I would say this is one of the most important and thrilling episodes in recent times. It would clear many of your doubts and questions, and the ending would simply give you chills. I wouldn't dare say anything about the story so I'm leaving it to you to watch and judge. I would give full points to the cinematography: every angle is beautifully shot and looks like a painting. Acting overall is brilliant. Sansa's character is becoming very interesting so I'm quite curious how much she's going to transform during this season. Bran and Hodor is phenomenal. Score is done brilliantly. Enough good to make you feel cold. Writing and directing is top notch. They can expect a lot of Emmys and probably Golden Globes this year.

Now I'm curious about upcoming weeks. How they would top this one is beyond me. [10/10].

12 Angry Men (1957)

An all time classic

[10/10 · 14 September 2013]

This trial film tells the story of a jury made up of 12 men as they deliberate the guilt or acquittal of a defendant on the basis of reasonable doubt. This directorial masterpiece by Sydney Lumet is a must watch for all of you. Though the entire movie takes place in a single jury room (with a broken ceiling fan of course) but has got an intoxicating screenplay where several twists and turns awaits you.

There's a scene where it starts raining all of a sudden, a scene which brings a fantastic change to the story where you, as an audience, feel like taking a break from the hassle and enjoy rain.

Overall, this movie is a must watch and is highly recommended. I cannot discuss much about the story but trust me you won't regret watching it.
