House of Villains (2023)
The first reality show I have enjoyed in years
Usually I avoid reality shows as I find them fake, over edited and predictable. I'm so happy I gave this a chance. It felt like a refreshing take on the genre. The concept is to put "villains" from different reality shows into the same house and make them compete for a prize of $200,000.
From the beginning I expected that most of these people were probably willing to stirr up drama and manipulate their way to the top, they are villains after all. Strangely, I felt like this made the contestants seem more real. They don't get the chance to pretend they have nothing to hide and a lot of them seem to like the role of villain.
Most of the drama is light-hearted and the commentary from the host, the contestants and the production crew is pretty funny, at times hilarious.
Hoping there will be more seasons.
The Invisible Man (2020)
A captivating portrayal of an abusive relationship
I think a lot of people that has a past with an abusive/toxic partner and/or stalker will strongly relate to this movie. The events in the story are fantastical but the emotions are very realistic. Elizabeth Moss does a great job in portraying a person who has lost their anchor in reality and it shows how hard it can be to truly escape an abusive relationship. I have watched this twice so far and look forward to seeing it again.
Hypnotic (2021)
Interesting topic but superficial
This movie makes me appreciate good movies. It feels superficial, not really giving the characters any depth. It was an okay watch though but Get Out is so much better if you are in the mood for something hypnotic and thrilling. The Hannibal series with Mads Mikkelsen is also a must watch when it comes to eccentric psychiatrists and hypnotherapy.
Occhi Chiusi (2017)
Did someone forget to turn on the lights?
I was hoping for an exciting thriller but this wasn't it. Acting was good and the plot intriguing, but most of the time it was so dark I had to half guess what was going on. There are a couple of outdoor scenes where this is contrasted with a flood of light but that didn't really help in the end. Very nice to doze of too, for the most part quiet and slow paced with minimal dialogue.
Spoiler: After a while it seems like the husband is keeping the wife in the house against her will, drugging her and not letting her see her daughter. She wants to save her daughter and one night the wife manages to leave her room to look for the daughter. However something snaps her back to reality when she remembers that on her birthday the daughter hanged herself.
Theres's several movies about memories and trauma more interesting than this one and I would not recommend watching it even though it's not the worst I've seen.
Away (2020)
Full of suspense, emotion and entertainment
Glad I started this series before reading the reviews. Yes some aspects doesn't add up. Like the superduper quality on video calls and photos and how the astronauts reacts in certain situations, but I don't need a show to be on point realistic for it to be as inspiring and heartfelt as this is.
I found a new fondness for space through this series. Hoping for season 2!
