Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: Tunnel Blind (2024)
A lot of buildup for...this?
So I just finished this episode and after a lot of hype about the return of SVU and last season's cliffhanger of Benson and Stabler on a hit list, this episode did not satisfy. The hit list was not mentioned, Stabler was gone and they launched into a kidnapped girl who they later tried to find via a sex(?) doll made in her image. Was a ridiculous nonsensical stretch. And if you are looking for a satisfying/happyish ending, look elsewhere. And the episode was framed around Olivia narrating the beginning and end of the episode about why she wears the badge and some callbacks to her caterer at SVU. Seemed a bit self indulgent and wasn't needed. Hope this isn't a sign of things to come this season.
Criminal Minds: Lucky (2007)
Top 5 episode
Having watched endless reruns and marathons of Criminal Minds, there are a few that stand out and this is one of them. The relationship dynamics between members of the team are further developed, the pair of twists at the end plus Jamie Kennedy's depiction of the serial killer was excellent (and creepy). The subject matter of religion and one of the greater taboos associated with killing is not going to be for everyone. But overall one of my favorite episodes for sure and the killer had a vibe of JD (initials as to not be a spoiler) regarding being "Lucky" and of course the nature of the crimes.
Red Rocket (2021)
Don't understand the positive reviews
Shallow characters and plot. Much longer than it needed to be. It's hard to invest in any movie when you don't care about any of the characters. There was the occasional funny moment but overall just a weak movie in a small town. Think an unfunny Napoleon Dynamite but with trashy characters. Skip it.
