Blue Beetle

Received an invitation to the premiere, and as you guessed, it had very typical superhero tropes. I don't really mind it and kinda dig the light-heartedness. The storyline isn't groundbreaking but the slapstick humor here and there makes it a fun watch. I'm glad I went, it was a great choice to unwind on a midweek evening.

The Trials of Gabriel Fernandez

Holy fuck. Literally 5 mins into the series and already in tears. This is rough.

Mindhunter

I'm so mad we might not be getting Season 3. Spent two seasons building up BTK, and now ended on a cliffhanger...

WandaVision

Those who thought WandaVision was a sitcom and was insufferably boring, have no idea what is coming lol...

Eternals

Not terrible but not the best. Most exciting part to me was probably the post-credit with Blade / Black Knight reveal. (yikes!)

Chernobyl

“When the truth offends, we lie and we lie until we can no longer remember it is even there. But it is still there."

Chernobyl was a gripping experience through and through. All the theatrical elements—the screenwriting, acting, cinematography, sound design, art direction—were masterly put together, allowing one to immerse in an unadulterated realism. To feel as if you were there. To feel the anxious pressure of impending doom, the hollow throb of death and the numb of hopeless devastation.

The phenomenal storytelling and the entire experience lifted this series above the rest for me. Every scene carries a weight and not a second is wasted in its run-time.

Spider-Man: No Way Home

What a nostalgic ride

The returning characters and OG actors from past films was definitely the crux of the movie's success. Let's face it, you won't see this many people swamping the theatres, if it's just another sequel of the teen spidey's story in a forgettable trilogy. Such an awesome assembly of villains. Defoe and Molina absolutely killed it and boy, the surprise good guys. So good to see my man, Tobey (and Andrew)!

Overall one heck of a fun ride even though the ending kinda threw me for a loop.

Man in Love

Typical trope but great acting. Congrats Roy Chiu and Tiffany Ann Hsu on their marriage announcement!

Nobody Knows

Incredibly emotive without being sentimental and melodramatic. A movie that quietly breaks your heart with every sequence without you realizing it </3

Gravity

For a moment that day, this film managed to pull me out of the dark place I was. I am eternally grateful for it.

This might as well be 'Pocahontas' in space.

Norwegian Wood

Little to do with Norway and a lot to do with wood, if you know what I mean. Anyway I fell asleep.

Earth Arcade: Season 2

Things just got more fun in this second season, maybe because I've gotten used to the show's format. The cast I must say is incredible - each member brings something different to the table which makes the show really unique. The four of them mesh so well together that you feel nothing but good vibes watching them. Their chemistry is simply amazing. Also, just when you thought you knew everyone's humor and quirks, this season brings you new dimensions of their comedic genius.

Overall great entertainment, deserves all the hype and its high viewership.

Call Me Chihiro

Admittedly, this film isn't quite clicking for me. I was unable to discern its intended message although still found it enjoyable till the end. I liked the intricate human interactions showcased in the story. Despite dealing with mature and dark themes, the movie maintains a gentle and warm tone without any over-the-top melodrama.

The Walking Dead

I’m allowed to be a little sad.

So it has come to an end. The Walking Dead started strong, went downhill after S6 but picked up again towards the end of S10. Despite its ups and downs, TWD will forever be a show that I cherish — for its compelling writing and the great many characters that I have come to love. Genuinely contented with the ending, thought they did a great job wrapping up the story and building up for the spin-off.

The film felt longer than necessary. Things only got slightly interesting on the second half.

There I thought only anime series have filler episodes.

Radiation House

Not bad at all! Definitely need a second season.
Also I would love to see more of Alice Hirose. She seems to have a lot of potential.

Little Women

Just saw the 2019 version. I must say I still prefer this one so much more. The chemistry among Winona, Claire, Trini and Kirsten can never be rivaled. The way they acted, spoke to one another, teased one another and loved one another, all felt so genuine and real. Also, the soundtracks they are incredible and truly made the 1994 version!

Hospital Playlist

I've thoroughly enjoyed Reply 1988 and Prison Playbook. This one fell short of my expectation. I find some of the character arcs either too predictable or too pat. Not saying it was bad. Just hope the next season has a stronger plot.

Queen of Tears

I've always admired Kim Jiwon's versatility and felt that she was somewhat underrated. Finally in this drama, she receives the well-deserved recognition that has been long overdue.

Plot-wise, it's quite predictable with some clichés and loopholes but I can't help tuning in to every episode. The cast has great chemistry, especially since many of them have worked together on other projects. The show's creators also included plenty of easter eggs, so if you're a fan of kdramas and movies, you'll enjoy spotting some of them. I personally appreciate how the drama isn't overly complicated (although I don't understand choosing death over losing memories???), funny at times and has many heartstring-tugging moments, culminating in a highly satisfying ending.
