Shogun (2024)
Characters Worth Caring For
I won't repeat what others have already said in their reviews. Yes, across the board this series hits all the marks.
What stands out the most is that I actually care about these characters, which is a rare feat in both film and television these days. Halfway through the season and I'm deeply invested in the characters and how their stories will play out.
Episode 5 actually had me tearing up. This is beautiful work and I'm grateful that I get to experience people working in the television industry who deeply care about their craft.
After the show is done I highly look forward to reading the book and the 1980 TV series to compare.
Lovely, Dark, and Deep (2023)
Not Lovely, Dark, or Deep
You ever watch a movie and wonder why it was made? For me this was one of those movies.
The (non)mystery of the movie is: why are so many people going missing in these national parks?
I should've known beforehand that any answer probably would've been unsatisfying. But then at the end of the movie you find they don't even give you an answer! It didn't leave me creeped out, just extremely frustrated.
When the forest/beings make the main character lose her mind, I wasn't convinced, just bored and scratching my head. Why does the forest need sacrifices? I still don't know, and that isn't a good thing.
If you like your horror dark and deep, I'd pass on this one.
