Stranger Things (2016-2025)
It was all heart and I loved it. 01-Jan-2026
I enjoyed this season because I accepted what it was instead of what it should be. 09-Dec-2025
If this were an enjoyable season I wouldn't have talked about their hair. The retro lab visit was every mythological idea the auteurs and their fan pages dreamed up during video chats. It met everywhere but the middle. Russian prison was an excuse to keep actors that can't stand each other apart. (The audience likes them together.) The prison chapter peaked when daddy shaved his hair. He won Best Hair. The extra stuff put me to sleep. Too much. 01-Jun-2022
S4E5. I was surprised how much I had forgotten and remembered. Old people don't have time to look back. There isn't much time. The hair is horrendous. A guaranteed 80's do is brushing it forwards, teasing it, spraying it and letting it go. Instant throwback art. El is a super dork with boy crushes, the token of leftwing communist bullying and delicate. She's a dehumanized weapon. Comicbook El would have found gifts of other strength to make her cope and conquer. Why would she become Carrie? Some of the characters were hard to bear. It zooms away from sense, piles for representation and exemplifies fandom exhaustion. The hair. Worst ever! 30-May-2022
PS: I spent most of the season wanting to comb everybody's messy hair. 08-Aug-2019
The magic dissipated in #3 but unity, bromance, and a pulverizing ending held it up. 06-Aug-2019
#2 gratified every sense with throb and tenderness. 29-Nov-2017
There can't be much to disconcert when with every dedication and homage you are dealt original cards with likeable imprinted players and a perplexing with soul reflexing game.
Wynona is unwavering in motherhood vs sanity as David Harbour is papa Bear strength. The kids are inherent, funny and affecting. Millie Bobbi Brown is tasked with conveyance of eye speak and she handles it beautifully.
Success is achieved through inspiration not impersonation. 29-Aug-2016
Mickey 17 (2025)

I watched ready to be disappointed but I was not. It was made for a future generation to fuss over and dissect. Pattinson is a beaten man who has to keep dying in order to survive. His accent and softness humanized Mickey 17 and convinced me to follow him. Pattinson's flashlight stayed on throughout even while twinning. Ruffalo's villain was way over the top. Naomi Aaki pumps the heart and kicks the ass. It's original, bonkers, nerdy and funny but the film lacked space. The supporting cast could have used it. I never stopped caring. 30-Dec-2025
Creep - Radiohead
Giants
Great Flood, The (2025)

It wasn't something I expected but am very pleased that it turned out that way. Patience begets understanding, information and the importance of acting as a whole instead of as an individual. I presumed that our leads gave a great performance in their native language but I chose dub and the acting was horrible, esp. the adorable child. It didn't matter because talking wasn't necessary. There are only so many words one can blurt out in an end of life scenario. It haunted, it accelerated and broke a few hearts. 23-Dec-2025
One Battle After Another (2025)

Teyana Taylor's soulless character stood out for all the wrong reasons. A stereotypical performance with fake bravado. I was relieved when she was done. Not only did I have to contend with a mime signing for the deaf on the corner of my screen with no off button but I was bombarded with a stubborn message that lent no humanity to either side of the argument. I sided with no one. If the solution was to keep fighting why leave their country to burden another and lose out on fixing their own? Why go to another country to hate on those people? If I had nose hairs I would have pulled them out just so I could feel something. It was an unbearable watch that had no artistic value or entertainment pursuit. Penn's walk was a major comic relief, DiCaprio went gut deep, the presentation was ugly and the slog was grimacing. I was getting punched for no reason, like riding a NY subway to work. 19-Dec-2025

Bounty Hunters
Ambush
Troll 2 (2026)

In primitive times God created giant trolls to balance carbon emissions. Christians came along and fucked that up. Revenge polluted the air and the trolls were abolished. A favorite scientific "fairy tale" expert is once again involved when a new troll shows up. Daddy soldier is back without a green arrow or opinions. Beautiful was as ugly as the rest and didn't deserve that name. It was useless, anyway. I spent a lot of time laughing, the dub was ridiculous and made the actors cheesy. A man finds the beast, a woman revives him, another frees him and man has to clean up their shit. 05-Dec-2025
Final Draft (2025-)

My first reaction was, come on, why are they always so nice? Then I realized they didn't enter the competition to beat their competitors but themselves. The challenges were grueling, athlete bodies were supe-worthy and togetherness was everywhere. The competitors enjoyed the spectacle as much as I did. 16-Nov-2025
Frankenstein (2025)

Del Toro kept me in awe and made imaginative choices. Oscar was an excitable Victor, full of verve, vigor and craft. Mia cast a bright shine whenever she appeared and her dresses were resplendent. Elordi lent the creature beauty and humanity. There were times where I saw the actor underneath but it was only an x-ray. The man was fully invested. The story was inspiring, the style elegant, the horror realistic and the action pulsating. 09-Nov-2025
Guilty - Paloma Faith
Wanted
Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025)

Thing's eyes got lost under heavy make-up and his mouth movements were hesitant. The beard. I didn't know bricks can grow hair? Fantastic held back. Torch had no life. Very little reminded me of the 60s. Sue Storm's hair was droopy instead of groovy. The baby plot line needed work and Shala-Bal didn't amaze or intimidate. They didn't sprinkle the magic evenly. It was a countdown to a finale that didn't deliver fantastic. Galactus was robbed. Supe capabilities were constrained. 06-Nov-2025

28 Years Later (2025)

It was unique in prioritizing emotional impact. Young boy is being indoctrinated by his community. A hunt will open his eyes and a kill will make him a man. The rules are established during his training and dead mythology was properly explained. Goals, powers and limitations prepared us. Human escape was suspenseful, the town was slightly defined, the bonds were on and off, credibility began to wallow and the "last minute saves" were unwelcome. A character in a difficult situation has the responsibility to save themselves and gift the audience a survival skill. Dad was a gorgeous asshole that got blamed for everything. Boy forgot he too was a man. A bedridden mother goes on an adventure to cure her mental illness. Dude, she's bedridden! I don't understand how the son could go on such a quest after an intense first hunt. Watching parent cheating sex does not make you fearless. The doctor was an unnecessary paradox. The showdown was sour, the actors were wasted and cliches dissolved reasoning. The boy went on a quest to do something dangerous that he could have calmly done at home. 24-Sep-2025
