La chica de nieve (2023)
Everything you want and need in a mystery.
This show took me from the moment it started and didn't let me go until it was over. Milena Smit absolutely shines in this. Holy Moly! Only one way but up for her; real talk. Series' are typically not preferred personally as they tend to drag on, stretching out characters I don't particularly care about, but the decision to make this a miniseries was most certainly the best route here; pacing, characters, story, and character development - all superb.
**SPOILER**
I loved the fact that they changed the location and setting for the film adaptation as well as what they did with the Miren character. Definitely looking forward to the possible "El juego del alma" adaptation (which is actually the first book in the series) which they clearly set us up for with the ending. Let's just hope this one does well enough to enable them to do so. And hopefully with the same crew; directors, cinematographers, writers, etc..
And personal opinion here, judging by already faltering reviews, I'm going to assume that some book lovers can't come to terms with the live action adaptation being entirely ITS OWN art form. But it's to be expected. In terms of filmmaking, this is a gem.
Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker (2019)
Loved it!
I went in with an open mind and mentally prepared for anything, but was immediately sucked in and felt like a kid again like when I was watching the prequel trilogy in theaters. It's a very fun, very dark, very exciting, visually stunning, Star Wars film... through and through. JJ again brought the essence of Star Wars back to the screen in a big way. The film, of course, as with ANY Star Wars film, is certainly not without it's faults; the pacing in the first half is lightning fast but I think that was due to not having any story before it to go on and having to cram a lot of story into one film. The "fan service" was perhaps a little too much at times and a bit cringe, but at the same time kinda made me feel good and is really what Hollywood cinema is about. All in all I thought it was great and a worthy ending to the saga! 💜 May the force be with you all!
Charlie's Angels (2019)
Ignore negative reviews, please!
After many, many years , this is my first written review, if you can call it a review; it's more of an assurance that this film is most certainly NOT the abomination that a lot of reviewers on here are making it to be. It is not a bad film, by any means - I have certainly seen much, MUCH worse. It's actually unreal how much hate this movie is getting, it's kind of absurd really. It almost seems to be fake; in a way that I wouldn't be surprised if half of the negative reviews come from people who haven't even seen the film and were just sitting around on their phone waiting for the release day, itching to spout nonsense.
It's a decent movie! It's fun, it's funny, it's action packed, it's campy - it has decently written and witty dialogue and likable characters; what more could you want from a Charlie's Angels flick? Yeah, it's cheesy at times and maybe a bit ridiculous, but have you seen a Marvel movie? Or even a Charlie Angels film/tv episode for that matter?
Just go see it with an open mind and willingness to have fun. If you go to the movie theater and sit in the seat looking like the Grinch, you're definitely not gonna have a good time.
