FULL REVIEW FOR WINNING TIME: RISE OF LAKERS DYNASTY

”I don’t see why basketball can’t feel like that.”

Winning Time is a show that I knew I would watch and have a lot of fun with being a big basketball fan and historian. I read the Jeff Pearlman book that this series was based on and it’s such a fascinating read because so much of this era in sports is why the NBA is the NBA. I’m such a historian…

”things just got out of hand.”

Doctor Strange 2 was a Marvel movie I was quite excited about, being this new movie that was going to usher in this new era of Marvel and what they were trying to do with the miniseries like WandaVision and Loki. This Phase of the MCU was all about throwing the playbook out the window, where now the rulebook has been thrown out the window with the introduction of the multiverse. Multiverse of Madness…

REVIEW FOR OZARK

"Most people just have a fundamentally flawed view of money."

I wanted to do a big review of Ozark as the final half of the season comes out tomorrow and do an in-depth review about the show and why I love the show. Everything about the show has already been said, with the show being a Breaking Bad Jr. It also has a kind of pulpiness to it that I think people really gravitate towards too, the…

“remember for whom your last tear was shed,”

The Northman is one of those movies that every film buff has been excited about because of the movies Robert Eggers makes. He’s already gone 2-2 and with a loaded cast, this felt like the arrival of him as a commodity. I was a bit concerned about the movie because of the reports of studio interference and also Eggers is working with a large budget and a large cast compared to The…

”I wanted to say, in another life, I would be happy just doing laundry and taxes with you.”

This is a movie that is becoming a word of mouth hit, they also handled the premiere in a way that is something I wish more movies did by just having it released in a few theatres first and then going with the full release. It’s going to be really exciting seeing this movie grow and have an audience with the casual…

"Ok, here it is. The Graduate, Part II"

The Player is one of those movies that I don't think gets the due it should with how it's able to make fun of itself and the industry. It's one of those movies that really gets the industry, being smart about the industry but also a funny one. It's one of those movies I've been meaning to rewatch for quite some time now that its' the 30th anniversary of this movie.

It's…

REVIEW FOR SEVERANCE (APPLE+) SEASON 1

"I make these statements freely."

Severance is a show where from the first trailer I saw about the show, I just was immediately interested in the concept of it all and I just had this feeling that I was going to completely enjoy the ride it took me. Also, the cast is just loaded filled with actors who we've never seen before, actors who've been in our lives for a while, and actors who…

"Take her to the moon for me"

Inside Out is the one Pixar blind spot I had, I like to think that I've seen almost every Pixar movie and am a fan of what they do since they create these timeless and universal, and also thought-provoking stories for all audiences. But yea, Inside Out, is the one Marvel movie I never really saw because everybody talks about how much it made people cry and I gotta prepare myself for that…

"They want to change things now."

Miniseries are now in this era where there now true crime podcasts is coming to light, whether its' Silicon Valley stories like this, WeCrashed, Super Pumped, or even real-life biopics like Pam + Tommy and Winning Time. I'm not sure how I feel about it, as long as they are good then it doesn't really matter I guess. As long as they pass the sniff test, the test being "would this be better as…

"men my age dictate this war"

I wanted to watch Dunkirk again since my WW2 class is wrapping up and I got to write this small paper about the Battle of Britain and how significant that was. I figured I might as well watch Dunkirk since it's been a while since I've seen it. Dunkirk is also quite significant since Britain was a huge reason why the war was won and this was one of those moments in history where…

EPISODE 1

”There's chaos in you.”

Moon Knight is a show I was a bit worried about but the more I watched the trailers the more I excited I got for it. Oscar Issac’s accent in Moon Knight kind of worried me a bit, it just felt so off where I was just like idk if this will be good. But after giving the trailers a few more watches, I felt like this was going to be something special, it…
