1000Stars (2021)
One of the Best BL's in a long time!
If you want to watch a beautiful BL with insane chemistry - watch Tale of Thousand Stars!
The story is well made. It's slow paces but the leads make each episode better than the other. The characters are written beautifully, the breathtakkng scenery and love the side characters too! It's worth mentioning about Tian's character growth from being the spoiled rich kid to learning about himself is brilliant. This isnt only story about love but self growth, discovery about yourself and life.
At first I wasn't sure why this BL seemed so familiar but then after couple episodes it me: it reminds of Sotus the Series (maybe it's just me?), not from the plot but the insane off the roots chemistry the leads have just by staring at each other. Sotus was also focusing less on touching and the pure, unconditional love they had and they didn't need to kiss or touch to show it. I absolutely love that when BL's do it.
I've always been a fan of that Grumpy x Sunshine love trope, where the grumpy one slowly gets to open up.
Phu is one of my favorite characters. At first he's seen as strict, very stern, not smiling. Him and Tian keep bickering yet have this chemistry off the roots from first scenes together. Phu slowly opens up to Tian, you see him slowly losening up and being less stressed. He falls for Tian and I loved we see him only smile with him. Those small, yet powerful stares they share - they don't need any kissing scenes or spicy ones cos the eyes and their body language tells it all! God, I love stories like this where they don't need touching because their gazes simply tell how much in love they are. That moment leading up to the most anticipated kiss.. soo worth it!!
(Though, just my opinion: no kissing for two years? I know they wanted it to be this romantic kiss but that got me thinking lmao)
The reason I am not giving this series 10 (I really wanted to) was the unnecessary drama at the end. It didn't fit the shows focus and shifted it for me too much, some of the drama between Tian and Phu seemed OOC for being there only for the sake of drama. The gang drama would have been enough - but Phu working for his dad all along was too much. Some of it seemed to be made up at the spot to create so much drama, when there was barely none in the previous episodes. They could have just done that Tian chose to study in America and Phu to wait for him (the scene at the wedding.. angsty for the sake of angst).
Despite this, I really enjoyed this and think it's one of the best BL's made for a long time.
Lost: Through the Looking Glass: Part 2 (2007)
Down through the looking glass
"Through the looking glass part 2" is a fantastic wrapping for season three finale. Here we have the Oceanic 815 survivors battling against the Others continue as Ben tries to get them out of calling the freighter.
The same time Charlie and Desmond try to get the signsl out in the station where they realize they aren't alone. Charlie's heroic sacrifice leads to Jack being able to call the beat that according to Charlie, "not Penny's boat".
Very fast paced, very keeping you at the end of your seat finale as all things come together. We also realize it was not Jack's flashback but a new "flashforward" to the future where the survivors are off the island. As it seems, the life isnt all that great and Jack wants to desperately go back.
Lost: Not in Portland (2007)
Not in Portland
"Not in Portland" episode focuses on Juliet and her background, what brought her to the island. Julet has been this hardcore badass by this point, so it's nice to see her emotional story with her sister and what makes who she is. She is very similar to Jack (being a doctor and wanting to fix things) and undoubtedly why Ben chose her to be close to Jack.
At the same time we see Kate and Sawyer running away as Jack refuses to operate Ben. Ben says she will let Julet go for free if she helps Kate and Sawyer to escape. I think by this point he was desperate just to get himself better and maybe lying his way out of it as he does for most of the things.
We also introduce Richard Albert for the very first time, a character that will be very important in later on seasons.
Lost: A Tale of Two Cities (2006)
So I Guess I'm Out of the Book Club
"Tale of Two Cities" is one of the greatest season starters in a show. It's hooking, captivating, leaving you with "wtf" just from first few minutes of the episode.
It follows the aftermath where we left in S2 finale with Jack, Kate, Sawyer and the Others. We dive into the sophisticated background of the Others, realizing they are way better off than we are firts led to believe.
In the flashback we learn more about Jack and his obsession over his ex-wife. It's not a coincidence either that Juliet just so happens to look exactly like Jack's ex-wife Sarah.
Great start of a season and evrything that's to come.
Lost: The Whole Truth (2006)
You guys got any milk?
The Whole Truth focuses on Jin and Sun, and how in the flashbacks we learn they can't get pregnant but then suddely in the island - Sun realizes she is in fact pregnant.
What I like about Sun and Jin that from the start they've never shown as the perfect couple, and slowly we get to see what happened between them in the past. There's reasons for everything, and the character or couple development just in one season is already a lot. They were very distant and barely touched each other. Jin waa very possesive and called the shots. Now it's other way around almost, they're openly communicating and hugging. Nice to see how they did that, and that the island seems to be the reason for them getting their relationship back.
Oh and the iconic Henry line at the end. Legendary!
Lost: Maternity Leave (2006)
Thelma & Louise
I love the character Claire. She's driven by doing everything to protect her son. Aaron gets sick, and she's convinced The Others did something to her and her baby when she was kidnapped by Ethan in season one.
For first time watch, the flashback brings probably more questions than answers. When you're on a rewatch, it's interesting to see how everything settles in, the others as well the Dharma Station. Nice revelation of Rousseau's child Alex, too.
I really also like Claire and Kate's friendship (maybe this was foreshadowing for the future, especially the whole Claire/Kate/Aaron dynamic in S5) and wish we had more these episodes with them.
Lost: One of Them (2006)
My Name Is Henry Gale
"One of Them" is a fantastic episode not only introducing the iconic character of the Henry Gale aka iconic antihero Benjamin Linus, but a wonderful Sayid storyline episode.
We delve into more the depth of his character and army torturer background. "Henry" is very convincing with his story about crashing into the island with a air balloon.
I'm sure they believe him for a second, but me personally would be suspicious how suddenly there's "a stranger" who just happened to be near them, when they know the excistence of the Others. Luckily, Sayid and Locke aren't that convinced about his story. Even so, the great way to introduce Ben.
Lost: The Long Con (2006)
There's a new sheriff in town, boys!
What a great Sawyer centered episode. 'The Long Con' has always been one one of my favorite Sawyer episodes of all seasons.
We delve into Sawyer's criminal and conning past with Cassidy who figures out his "con" and starts working with her.
The plot twist in is great. When you watch the episode couple of times, you can see how smart Sawyer was to put each piece of the puzzle together, to every small details. The way he put that seed of suspicion to Kate, how he fooled both Locke and Jack. His speech at the end .. 💯 Sawyer has always been one of my favorite characters, and this episode is why.
Lost: Exodus: Part 2 (2005)
Each one of us was brought here for a reason
What a dynamite finale! (Pun intended.) Great way to finish this action-packed and mystery filled episodes.
I remember the first time I saw the show and was hooked from the pilot: the mystery, the story, the drama, the characters.. everything was out of the ordinary and never done before on television. The set up was so catching from the start, the diversity of people stranded on an island, which is not that ordinary island. They all have secrets and heavy drama with their back stories.
Each episode brings more questions about the island, and not much is answered. Season two is just the start. One of the best finales out there.
Lost: Do No Harm (2005)
Endings and beginnings
'Do No Harm' is a beautifully tragic episode. Jack does his best to save and try to fix up the dying Boone, while at the same time Claire's birth starts. It's also ultimate showcase Jack's true nature, as the flashback of his wedding portays. Jack has always had an urge to save people, to fix them.
Unfortunately Boone was, as Locke later in seasons claims, the first sacrifice of the island. This episode also contrasts the difference between Jack and Locke that's been there since the pilot.
One soul is taken, another begins. Something sad and yet hopeful in same episode. I really love this episode.
Prison Break: Pilot (2005)
Great pilot for one of the greatest shows made
'Prison Break' was a show like nothing seem before, getting you addicted from the very first minutes. Michael Scofield is such brilliant, genious and complex character the more you get to know him in the seasons. Wentworth Miller does excellent performance, perfect for the role. The diverse selection of character the pilot alone introduces (Linc, Sure, Veronica Abruzzi) gives the show a good start. The first time I watched Prison Break, I wondered how they will manage to stretch this idea out but the conspiracy plot keeps you interested. I'm on a rewatch after years seeing this show again, and even the last seasons arent as good, it's still one of the best shows created.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986)
SAW is family
I didn't have much expectations for the Texas Chainsaw Massacre sequel since only knowing the iconic first one, but let's say it did not disappoint that much. Sure its not living up to the first film, but I did enjoy it. Stretch is actually smart protoganist, and makes somewhat smart choices (towards end.. not that much) and really liked her. She knew how to take care of things and didnt need much saving like final girls usually do, and the gore is surprisingly good for this one with the special effects. The family is all twisted and evil, having some fun and weird moments. Pretty legendary ending too!!
9-1-1: Buck, Bothered and Bewildered (2024)
Thank you 9-1-1
I've just rediscovered this show. This show is so great showing diverse stories, complex characters and plots. Oliver Stark has done absolutely fantastic job as Evan "Buck" Buckley. I have been fan of him since episode one, and loved to see his character grow up and develop as the seasons go. This is another amazing storyline, discovering who he is. It doesn't change anything: Buck has always been bi. It doesn't change anything, and it just means he can be more himself and learn about himself. His chemistry with Tommy is off the roots: all other previous partners combined. I trust this show to treat a male bisexual character well, and can't wait to see where his story goes from here. So thank you 9-1-1 for making this incredible, relatable, fun and amazing character.
Mary & George (2024)
M&G
I had great hopes for this, even I knew what it was mostly about. The actors are great. The costumes are really well-done, as the locations and landscape. The camera work is nice. Nicholas Galitzine is great as George Villiers, really shines and we know about his perfect performances already from previous roles. His micro-expressions are something out of this world, and I'm sure he's gonna have a successful acting career. And Julianne Moore as Mary Villiers the mother really work, the mother-son duo. I'm not sure how historically accurate it is, and well the plot isn't much to go for. It's mostly smut and naked people. If that's your go-to, watch this. Otherwise you might be let down.
She Came from the Woods (2022)
Tried too much
I love campy 80s horror slasher flicks, even the new meta ones like "Final Girls" so, I was excited to see what this one would be like, another summer camp slasher movie. I was sadly disappointed, but not that surprised.
Unfortunately, the film is not special in any way or considered horror or slasher. Nothing happens slasher-wise until you have already gotten bored. It's poorly written and not particularly scary or funny. Also, there are too many characters. None of them are likeable so you don't care if they live or die. Actingis oversll cringe and just bad. I ended up skipping most parts. You eventually don't care what happens.
Fringe: Pilot (2008)
Fringe - amazing show still today
I am on my Fringe rewatch, and watching the Pilot after so many years is reminding of me about this amazing show. Anna Torv does remarkable performance as work-driven, confident FBI agent Olivia Dunham. John Noble and Joshua Jackson are the unstable father-son duo. John Noble does brilliant acting as the lunatic/one of a kind scientist doctor. Lance Redsick is an interesting charcater with mysterious ways to him. The premise is reminding very much of X-Files, and it works. It's not a total copy of it but makes original plot of its own. It keeps you interested and wanting to learn more. I am looking forward rewatching this show.
Cerdita (2022)
Had potential
When I read the synopsis of "Piggy" I thought, hey, this is a cool plot for a horror movie. I went in expecting horror but it's more drama than horror. My bad. It could have worked better ad a horror tbh than drama story. Sara is a nice character, her actress too does great job I give them that. However, I feel like the message they tried to convey could have delivered better: we do see Sara's issues, the bullying, but doesnt go much deeper than that. It deals with body self esteem, growing up, bullying but leaves it very shallow. Her "relationship" with the killer guy seems off and weird. Ending was ok but nothing that hasn't been done before.
After Sundown (2023)
Timeless love story
I highly recommend this movie. Zee and NuNew are incredibly talented actors and the chemistry is so good between them. I knew this movie would not let me down. The romance between them is slow but so worth it.
The music is also very pleasing and suited the movie and the situation really well. And we already know NuNew is a great singer, would have loved to hear more from him than just the start! The horror aspect is nicely done too with the creepy atmosphere. It's not exactly "horror horror" but does its tricks. The only thing was unresolved was the possible romance between Kraiphop and Phutson, did they ever get together? It was kind of left unsolved, but didn't bother me too much. Other than that, totally recommend this movie.
Cabin Fever (2002)
It's in the water..
Director Eli Roth's "Cabin Fever" starts as this is another story about some killer hillbillies in the countryside. The use of a deadly virus, flesh-eating disease is both disgusting and somewhat original in some ways. It's nothing new surely. I wonder what was the origin of the virus, and where it came from in the first place, but it's never explained. The makeup gore is nicely done too.
The main characters are college kids out to party in the cabin, and things get ugly. They are typical drunk students, a bit annoying. In spite of this, one actually feels a bit of empathy toward them, once the sickening stuff begins.
Haunt (2019)
Let's see whats under the mask
"Haunt" is a surprise B-horror movie with a lot to offer. I think the movie works the best when you don't read too much about it, or have much expectations. The plot is simple, feels cliche sure, but exceeds your expectations. The plot builds up quickly, keeps you creeped out by each different room in the haunted house. The main characters are not your typical annoying but likeable (even making stupid mistakes). Especially Harper's actress is very good and does great performance. The deaths are original and gory. All of the masked people haunted house are creepy af. The ending is one to remember.
Elevator Game (2023)
It's going down
"Elevator Game" is based on the online viral trend that happens inside an elevator, in which players attempt to travel to another dimension using a set of rules. We knew they'd make a movie out of this. Is it campy and corny, sure. Does the plot have holes, sure. Is it entertaining? .. well. Eh. Not really. It's everything you expect from a B-horror movie with low budget. The acting isn't the strongest as isn't the script. Can I add, the "Fifth floor woman" reminded me of Taylor Swift Look What You Made Me Do MV lol. If you want to watch actually good horror movie that keeps the suspense up while in elevator, watch "Devil" (2010).
Gwledd (2021)
I'm Sure It Was Trying To Say Something
Even for a slow burn, the pace is super slow, as there is an absence of conflict for a big part of it. There is no suspence of any kind to keep you interested. It's boring and you don't care for any of the characters.
The horror is all left for the very end. Nothing wrong with that, it could have worked if it was actually interesting. There could have been more suspense, creepiness and killing to keep you watching. Like "The Menu", which was done much better. The problem with this movie is that the film is so eventless and boring that I wasn't interested anymore. I kept skipping to the end.
Interesting theme that could have been much better.
Barbie (2023)
You are Kenough
For a movie that is so overhyped, "Barbie" by Greta Gerwig did not disappoint. I waited on purpose to watch this film, and I enjoyed it. There are also plenty of good, deep messages to be taken away from it from the exploration what means to be woman, consumerism and capitalism, and existentialism. It's also funny and hilarious. Margot Robbie IS Barbie. The Barbieland is perfectly done, with the pink and bright colors. I wish we saw more of that. The diverse versions of Barbies was done great, the entire doll world. It reflect great contract to the real world. I'm sure there were lot of easter eggs I missed I will try catch on my other watches. It does give us meaning that even in modern world, equality is to be still achieved, and that maybe, we are Kenough.
One Royal Holiday (2020)
Royal Holiday
I've been really into Hallmark Christmas romcoms lately, and "One Royal Holiday" did not disappoint. Sure it's cliche, and predictable, but also sweet to watch. It's cheesy like all the others don't get me wronf, and doesn't bring anything new to the table.
Yet the characters are funny and sweet, especially the Queen! I loved her. Aaron Tveit and Laura Osnes are great match for the couple, and cute together.
It's one of those cheesy romantic comedy movies where you know what happens, but you end up watching it anyway because it's making you smile and laugh. Sure some things don't make sense if you think about them being royals, but at the end it doesn't bother you that much.
A Christmas Love Story (2019)
Love you like a Christmas Love Song
I saw 'A A christmas Love Story' by accident. I saw it on my TV, thinking, I could watch that one day and I did. It did not disappoint, even being a cliche Hallway Christmas romcom. I'm a fan of Kristen Chenoweth, so I knew she'd slay this one too. She and Scott Wolf had great chemistry too.
Sure the romantic angle of the story is very standard Hallmark as any other, with it doing very little new with very over-familiar story tropes used so many times. The Christmas decorations are off the roof as always. Very to be surprised with the plot, though there were some nice "plot twist" revelation at the end.
