Dexter: The Getaway (2009)
This should have been the series finale
This episode aired 2009 and it did what no other show did. It was so surprising and shocking.
This brilliant show should have ended here. Starting from season 5 things go downhill and the Dexter new blood show didn't save it.
If it had ended here it would have been bigger than the wire and breaking bad.
But atleast they tried to save it, anyways what I am trying to say is if you are new to watching Dexter and your mind was just blown by this episode. Stop and don't watch any further. You will thank me later.
Everything from now own is missed opportunities and disappointment. Consider this the series finale. Watch something else.
Der Greif (2023)
Fun , enjoyable hidden gem
This is my first German show, I knew they had good stuff but this one exceeded my expectations especially it's inspired by Stephen king's the dark tower and the gunslinger. And because all hope is lost that a Dark tower will be adapted any time soon, so this will do. It started slow, very good character building and its heading into greatness.. fun greatness. And it's a breath of fresh air to see a show about students without the bullying that we see in the American shows. Watch this .. it's fun .. I even got my favorite snacks that I rarely do when I am watching something fun. Last time I did it I was watching Shrek. And they also mange to point the issue of mental illness in a very good way.
The Last Duel (2021)
This movie made me sad
The events happened almost 8 hundred years ago and this horrible acts against women still happen to this day. So little changed .. honestly shame on us the humans.
Anyways the movie is okay other than its powerful message. Performance is great. Matt Damon did a terrific job. I just didn't like Ben affleck for his role. The accents is horrible unfortunately.
If you don't have 2 and half hours to spare you could just watch the trailer and the last 45 minutes.
I did like the 3 point of views chapter idea .. I wish this happens more in tv shows
I just wish I didn't watch that movie because it made me so sad.
Barbarian (2022)
Very entertaining and super creepy but full of plot holes
Very entertaining and super creepy but full of plot holes. This movie is a creepy thriller more than a horror movie and I actually didn't like it but I couldn't stop watching.
It's very creepy, the monster " the mother" is actually a daughter of a rape victim who born in darkness and the predator did what he did for 40 years , kidnapping women, rapping them and having babies, rapping the babies when they grow up and having more babies, that is the most horrific thing i ever watched that's why we don't see it.
The movie starts as supernatural thriller, a haunted house trapping people then we discover there is a monster down ( the mother) in the tunnel but who built those tunnels is unknown
Then we discover that the monster is actually a victim and the real monster is now old man living at the end of the tunnel with all his disgusting video tapes of his victims using the mother as his servant. How the hell no one caught him?
So the hero of this story is a very brave woman and she is trapped with a very bad person an actor who is accused of rape ... he is kind of bad person that really scares you because you won't know how bad he is until it's too late ..and he thinks he is good and he is probably as bad the the old man
It was brilliant when the actor confronted the old man after watching one of the video tapes and was disgusted about it.. and he is as bad
What bother me is that these bad people needed a bad things to happen to them as retribution but unfortunately .. the old guy simply killed himself
But over all the movie is very enjoyable even if you don't like it and probably you won't like it.
If it were up to my opinion I would give it 6.5 cuz of the plot holes but that would be unfair because it touches on important issues .. I just considered it a supernatural or a dumb another dimension and ignored the many many many dumb plot holes.
High Plains Drifter (1973)
It's impossible to rate this film
I am watching this film in 2023 and this is so dark and it doesn't age well. Even if the town is evil and he is a gunslinger ghost came for revenge. Sexual assault and rape shouldn't be done by the hero of the movie. But this movie was made 50 years ago. I believe if this movie is remade now by Keanu Reeves it will be the perfect western movie but without the assault and with better treatment of women.
Now I understand why John Wayne was so upset from this movie
This was the first western directed by Eastwood and I noticed the blood after shooting
unlike the dollars trilogy .. when ppl get shot they die without blood.
Sympathy for the Devil (2023)
The movie is watchable because of the powerful performance
This movie is about a crazy bad man Nicolas Cage who thinks that he found another bad man from his past Joel Kinnaman that he has a grudge against but the man insists that he is not that person.
It's very interesting that the director of this movie Yuval Adler made a similar movie 3 years ago The secrets we keep about a woman who discovers that her neighbor is the same German soldier who did bad things to her. And guess who played the role .. it was Joel Kinnaman
So Cage is being Cage and Kinnaman is playing a role that he played 3 years ago... so it's very good acting but it's more a Swiss cheese than a movie unfortunately.
Still a fun watch and clearly the director is inspired by Death and the maiden because this is the only movie that really pulls this idea off masterfully.
So I recommend that movie.
Monster (2022)
It's fascinating how the show runners made a story that both disturbing and interesting So slow and boring.
You have the real life Dr. Hannibal and instead of making an interesting 6 episode masterpiece you stretch it into 10 episodes. Dahmer in some of the late episodes felt like a guest star. I don't know if it was accidental or not but the slow rhythm and the direction of the last 2 episodes I felt there was compassion from the show runners towards the monster and the way they presented his baptism it felt like they telling us the monster is dead and this is a new person. This is not fair to the families of the victims. This show should have been fast and gruesome leaving you disgusted by the monster and almost giving you an heart attack.
The Wire: Clarifications (2008)
A shocking death in Better call Saul reminded me of this episode and how shocked I was in it.
Omar was not a hero, we all knew he would get killed but I have never imagined that he would get killed by a little kid while buying cigarettes, so far this is my top 1 most shocking tv death. I wish hbo make a mini series about Omar childhood with his brother who we learned that was more badass, it would be cool to see older brother teaching younger brother some of the iconic Omar's quotes. Tupac would have been the best in that role but I think Jay pharaoh can do it. I can only hope.
Australian Ninja Warrior (2017)
I only saw season 5 & it was great until the finals
It doesn't make any sense to have 3 final stages in 2 days, that's like 2 more semifinal before the real final ... they made the course so hard too many final stages that it was impossible to finish the course ... and the winner didn't finish it , he was just the fastest & furthest aka he lost but still became the champ ... I believe that when 10 contestants finished final stage 1 , they had 2 options; either cancel stage 2 & make it only stage 3 then the mountain or stage 1 without the time limit then the mountain... it's okay if all finish the course ... that's why there is a timer.
Doors (2021)
Not bad for a low budget science fiction
It's like a short mini series of 4 short episodes.
A pilot ... boring 2nd episode then my favorite the 3rd one & the finale with all the answers.
If you enjoy drama watch this .. cuz it's a very slow science fiction but very watchable .
Go-Big Show (2021)
The go big & we will send you home show
It's scripted .... they passed a lot of great worthy talents that went so big they risked their lives & gave the winning spot to the safest / not as impressive act cuz it had story & family
My advice watch the acts but skip the scoring because it's not fare at all .
Castle Rock: Romans (2018)
At first i hated the finale but then I realized how brilliant it was
I was very excited about the finale , I couldn't wait ... I remember that I read all the reviews ( all were negative about how disappointing the finale was ) so I got disappointed without even watching it .
Then I gave it a go yesterday... at episode 9 they give you something mind blowing then they take it away in the finale without any sort of confirmation ... so as any one else I was disappointed & I need to know... then after an hour I started to like the finale.
Here's why : 1) all episode 9 was the kid telling a story it wasn't a flashback.... so it's 50 50 ... if you were an evil immortal demon -ish you got to have a crazy story to just raise doubt in your enemy's heart ... remember Lacy & Henry are good men not cold stone killers .... and I think that the whole point of the season... it's about justice & doubt .. the audience are left with the same doubt that Henry have ... and I think it's brilliant.
We heard the kid's crazy story like Henry & Lacy did ... we saw what the kid can do as Henry did ( when the prisoners started the blood bath ) and we saw the true self of the kid in the woods as Henry did ... but still Henry did jump from world to another world after killing his dad ... and all the information the kid know about Henry's life .... so what we saw in the woods could be the kid old trapped soul or might not .... he could be a demon or could be just a trapped guy from another world which he doesn't belong in our time so that why ppl around him die ... but if that so why didn't lacy axed murdered his wife and killed him self the first day he captured the kid ?? That's bring us to the kid's creepy smile at the end ... is he playing a long game ?? He is an immortal being who could probably be bored ... so by lacy suicide he won the first round & now Henry's turn ?? But why wanting to go to the woods ?? Was he only using Henry's powers , he want to go somewhere??? And he needs the door !! Did he tailored a story about saving Henry & used what happened to Henry in the other world to convince him to help him ??? How do he know all these stuff?? Is he telepathic?? .. well maybe !!
I think he his a character from the dark tower or an immortal being from king's books ... I am not a king fan so I wouldn't know ... but I still have doubts in my heart and there is a big chance that the kid is an innocent guy who is trapped in another world & been held in a dark cage for nearly 3 decades and this alone could make you a monster .
I like the doubt , the uncertainty but as long as they answer all of the questions in the upcoming seasons , the finale is absolutely brilliant ... if the show ended without us knowing who the kid is then it's another " Lost " and I would have wasted my time again ... don't forget that lost's jj abrams is your involved in this project... leaving us with doubt & then answering them in future seasons is one brilliant thing & leaving unanswered questions because they don't know the answer is another thing and waste of our time ..
Time will tell & I hope they won't disappoint me .
Kidding (2018)
Don't rate the whole show based on just 1 episode
My rating may change depending on the whole season... I am just shocked of the many bad reviews and the unfair low rating 6.5!!!!
I am a huge fan of jim but why did people assume that the show is for kids ? It's not even comedy . It's a show on showtime ... how many kids show you watch on showtime ?? If this show was on nickelodeon , I would be surprised as you .
So it's a show about a griefing father who lost a son In a car crash and about his family dealing with that loss & grief ... the only issue is the father works as a kid show host & being played by jim Carrey so ppl assumed they will watch a Ace Ventura/ Sesame Street combo .... Again ppl this is a dark comedy/ drama at its best .
Very promising new show & I think jim done a great job & the whole cast are amazing.
So please if this show isn't what you expected rate fairly ( not 1 or 2 ) or don't rate at all ... because even the worst shows in tv history has rating more than 1 & 2 & this is a good TV show ... if you can't handle sad drama don't watch it & watch something funny .
