Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey (2023)
Utter sh:te
Great idea for a horror film, this could have been ridiculously funny and scary at the same time but the film was quite flat. I was expecting a funny slasher movie but it was dissapointedly bland, I wanted more laughs or suspense.
I don't expect much from this type of genre but I think the plot could have been developed more, I found the story quite plain, they don't tell much but just a little bit at the very beginning.
I appreciated that the film doesn't use the unexpected loud noise to make the watcher jump from the seat. More suspense in the chasing scenes would have been better too. I also appreciated the British accents accordingly to the story.
There's no proper conclusion to the story, at the end of the film it feels like something else needed to wrap up, it just abruptly finished.
Watch if curious to see Winnie the Pooh as a killer. Can't deny it was a great idea for a horror film.

Big fan of dark utterly dissapointed with season 1
Leonardo Di Caprio's dramatic sink of the Titanic meets a bad written version of Dark. Not much happens during the first 7 episodes ( in an 8 part series). Every episode, it is unveiled a little background story of each character but you never really know what's going on or what the show is about... it's all mistery after mistery to keep the audience in suspense with no clues until the very end... up to the point that it just becomes dull and boring during the first 6 episodes. The more I watched, the more I under rated it. It was such a dissapointment after 'Dark'. I'd dare to say that episode 8 is the only one worth watching. I hope it reivindicates in following seasons.
There's even a new old enigmatic character called Dr Hope that resembles old Adam from Dark. The audience will know more about him in the following 2 seasons of this planned trilogy.
Don't get me wrong, I'm rating this show based on high standards. It does have some value compared to so many trashy shows out there. It's worthwhile watching if you have not many options.

A provocative depressing film made to shock the viewers
Watch it if you want to see the depressing life of a Mexican lonely woman, if you dont have enough negative material from what we already get in the news.
I've seen lots of raw films about hard to swallow realities, it seems that some independent 'artists' love showing this side of life. Sometimes it's ok if they make you reflect about life, human relations or if you learn something to be a better person. The problem here is that I find that it's pointless, there is no point to watch a situation like this, I feel I didnt learn something, it didn't make me reflect, it was just shocking and depressing to watch. I find this work from certain provocative directors just vulgar, I find it lazy and not very creative, it seems they just make it to get a little bit of attention by shocking the audience, I bet there are lots of ways to achieve that, human minds can be quite nasty.
