Las viudas de los jueves
(2023)

Good adaptation?
I don't know, because I dont know the book.

I also dont understand the bad reviews, as the show is very entertaining.

Yes, it is slow paced but it helps to focus in all the different characters, which the actors portray magnificently.

I was particularly surprised by Omar Chaparro, who I only knew as comedian. Really good performance.

The rest of the cast was perfect and the actors fit perfectly togheter.

The setting and art was also very well cared.

It indeed has mexicanisms, but also, is playing in Mexico form an adapted Argentinian work.

I recomend it a lot, is not a thriller, is a drama showing the ugly face of all latinAmerica's pretty rich.

Resident Evil
(2022)

Too many white old men writing reviews...
Ok, its not a 9. Not even a 7... perhaps I would have rated it with a 6. But it is definitely not as bad as all the 1 star reviews try to put this down!

No, its also not the game we played in the 90s... but not even the movies back then where that.

And no, is not the origina movies either... but they are all at Netflix for the nostalgic ones (whom seem to have forgoten, the movies were actually quite bad... but super entertaining kind of B-Movies with money, and made Mila a super star!) The show instead is fresh and gives new views on the Umbrella universe.

Yes there are some plot issues and dumbness from the caracters, but so were the movies!

Oh, and abut the wokenes: Surprise! In the real world there are people of all colors, all ages, all sexual orientations and veganism, covid, cruelty against animals ARE topics, specially among young people, not crying 40 years old!

Atte: A latin, female, 43 year old RE fan.

Thor: Love and Thunder
(2022)

Why taking this movie so serious???
And give so bad reviews?? The movie is super enjoyable, has hilarious moments, great actors doing comedy, is light, is short (for today's super-hero standards) superb music... is the perfect summer blockbuster.

I would have given it an 8, but as it doesnt deserve the bad reviews, it gets a 9 from me. 😊

Enjoy!

Belzebuth
(2017)

Good movie, if more shocking than scary.
As a Mexican I must say... it pulled a few right buttons. The talking Jesus, Omg¡ childhood nightmare come true!

A few parts.of thw plot are a bit too much though, considering some recent events in the US.

But all in all, original story, superb acting (cutest baby jesus ever!) And good ambientation.

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore
(2022)

Nothing more than stunning visuals
1 star for the amazing CGI 1 star for the great actors.

Besides that, the movie is weak, slow and in some cases absurd.

As a huge HP fan, Im trully disappointed and can hardly believe that Rowling is involved in the writing and production.

The Last Duel
(2021)

3 sided captivating story
The movie is long, but each of the 3 chapters is told in such a new light that it feels like 3 different tales.

The performances are great, specially for the lead actress.

Beautiful art, photography, characterizations, etc.

The Power of the Dog
(2021)

Slow and powerful
Yes, the movie is slow. But is that pace what allows you to enjoy a suspenseful drama, great acting and a marvellous photography.

Sorry for all the homphobes out here giving 1 stars to this great movie.

Velvet
(2013)

Why the good reviews? The story is incredible bad.
Lets start with the main plot... how can somebody relate to a lying, deceitful, cruel couple? The hunk is charmless, misoginistic and hateful, playing two girls and ignoring his sister. Plus the "heroine" is not generous but plain stupid.

Most of the side stories are also tremendously illogic and time misplaced even for a soap opera.

Secodnly, all the actors are way too old for their roles... we are talking about people in their early 20ties and most actors look way way older.

1 star for the setting and 1 more for the costumes.

Love Hard
(2021)

No chemestry.
Not bad for what it is... the main problem is that there is zero chemestry between the main characters and that makes the wgole story stiff. Otherwise I would have given it a 7.

Bram Stoker's Dracula
(1992)

Everything but Bram Stoker's
Very entertaining movie... but should have been called Coppola's Dracula.

The film is not baf and if not for the missleading tittle I would have given this an 8.

You
(2018)

Absurdity at overwhelming levels.
Im hooked with season 3... It's addictive to see how every new episode of this show surpass the last in absurdity levels. Un-be-lie-va-ble (add a facepalm)

Castlevania
(2017)

Good entertainment, but could have been smarter.
I enjoyed and basically bingewatched the show.

The premise is really interesting, the animation good, the actors voicing ok, but somehow the story stayed short. Im prety sure the script could have been smarter... and what with the overuse of the "F" word??? Is not only teenagers watching this kind of shows!

Anyways, very very entertaining and likeable characters.

Hillbilly Elegy
(2020)

Its not a 10, ist an 8 but...
I cant help feeling I have to "balance" the bad reviews.

Im a Mexican, living aborad, top educated. However, my family started as poor as this and carries emotional wounds from my greatgrandparents on, we have had our own sharenof drama, but we live each ither and even my childhood was idillic going back to the countryside! So I couldnt help to relate and find the story touching and honest... not even counting in the the superb acting, great photograpy and the fantastic makeup!

Besides, Im really annoyed on how the critics are so politically obsessed they make this film about republicans vs democrats. Hello? Are we seeing the same movie? For me and many viewers, the movie its also about emotional inestability passed generation after generation, the hard path addictions lead not inly for the addict, shows the lack of oportunities people have when coming from a certian backgrounds and specially, how unfair the Amwrican system is. If I was an American, this movie would be for me the anti-republican statement and not the oposite.

Bishôjo Senshi Sailor Moon
(2003)

Bad, hilarious, addictive.
Plane cheap special effects, terrible acting... definitely just for hardcore fans. If you are one (like me), you will love this!!!

The White Tiger
(2021)

Uncomfortable truths and hurt feelings.
Thats why you will see reviews below 6.

The movie is actually very interesting and shows the dark side of human nature. It also depicts the reality of many regions in the world. Above it all, is a very well told story with no moral message and thats fine.

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina: Chapter Thirty: The Uninvited
(2020)
Episode 2, Season 4

No plot and cruel
What kind of plot is that? The 2 Sabrinas were not suposed to met ever. Sudenddly was not a problem. Plus, Was a cruel episode. They abused the abused abuser.

Mom's Got a Date with a Vampire
(2000)

Cute little movie for kids
Easy children's movie perfect for days around Halloween.

Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga
(2020)

It is as ridiculous as its name...
And epic and hilarius and fabulous too! Its a bit slow at some points, but all over gives you a very funny overview of what the Eurovision is for some. Just be aware, a couple of songs are masive earworms!

Los renglones torcidos de Dios
(1983)

Bad, just sooooo bad.
When you manage to switch a pasable book to a very bad Telenovela.

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
(2018)

Season 3... or why some shows should stop when they still make sense.
I feel sorry for Miranda Otto and Lucy Davis. Season 3 is embarrasing. The plot got from fresh and fun in season 1 to completely senseles in Season 3... they even have musical numbers. I only give it 5 stars because I liked it at first.

The Witcher
(2019)

Only for hardcore fans... and I wonder, why?
Im a quite big fan of the fantasy genere so I was excited when I found this. I must say that I didnt know about the books or videogames before and their huge fan base and that explains the 9+ stars rating... or not. The show is bad. Bad acting, bad scripts, bad effects, bad everything... and incredible boring. I gave it a 4 episodes try based on the rating of the show here... but I can't no more. Now I really want to read the books, to check if the story is good. Because if it is I cant understsnd the Fan hype on this bad show.

The King
(2019)

Historically inaccurate but delightful entertainment.
I fell in love with this movie and would have rated it with 9 or even 10 stars...if I wasn't that caught in the plot and googled about the King and his victory. The story, just as mentioned in other reviews, is just loosely based in historical facts. There is lots and lots of fiction. But damn, the movie is catchy! My advice: Enjoy for what it really is, pure entertainment. For history lesson try wikipedia.

El Club
(2019)

Bad from top to toe.
Bad, unintelligent and repetitive story. Bad, plain and boring acting. I dont understand why Netflix produced this show.

Queer Eye
(2018)

Uplifting!
Despite reality shows not being my cup of tea, I find this production great. I love the show and the Fab5 way of interacting among them and with others. All the cases are different and heart warming. And the best, you get a tip or two every show to improve your own lifestyle! And Antoni is the cutest. :)

Chambers
(2019)

Good and bad and damn... is there a second season?
It was a pretty good until it wasnt. But boy, I look forward the second season! Yes it is a bit slow, but the characters are quite likeable. It was a good mix of a horror/teen drama/thriller. The last 2 episodes were really bad, they made the plot really silly. But somehow cought me enough for me to wish for a second season.
