The Regime (2024)
What did I just watch?
I was so excited for this show, only to be extremely disappointed. The promos were fantastic, not even close to a serious drama. It's a hot mess, campy and ridiculous. The virus they are afraid of is so 2020. This show with HBO budget could have been so much more. They had all the right elements. I will say the set is gorgeous but the writing was all wrong. I adore Kate Winslet and I feel she carefully chooses her roles with purpose. I have honestly have never seen her in anything bad but his is it. She is a top notch actress and still a huge fan but not even she can save this train wreck. Skip it and go watch The Guilded Age on HBO, that was a hugely underrated show.
The Last of Us (2023)
Doesn't live up to hype
I can't disassociate the Mando's voice! The main girl's casting is terrible. I preferred his daughter in the pilot episode, she should have been cast as main girl. I'm a sorry but Bella Ramsey is not the right one. I find her character annoying. I am invested for Pedro Pascal but nonetheless I'm disappointed. It feels a lot like I am Legend. Nobody is in hazmat suits which they keep saying the fungus spreads and is highly contagious. I mean not even masks! Some things are not adding up with the contagion. They bombed some cities, not others? There's just too many questions left unanswered for me.
The Northman (2022)
Worst Movie of the Year
As a Viking enthusiast, I can say this was the worst tribute yet. I have watched every single episode of both The Vikings, Vikings Valhalla and The Last Kingdom. This was terribly done. My first problem was the casting of the main character adult Amleth. He looks dreadfully older than his uncle. What is the illustrious Nicole Kidman doing in this dreary savagery of a film? Her agent should be fired for this. This could have been so grand. The fighting scenes sub par at best with a $70-$90 million dollar budget, are you kidding me? The whole thing basically took place on a wee bit farm. Do yourself a favor and go watch a few episodes of the The Viking series that has much better acting and substantial plots and complex storylines where you actually are invested in the characters. What a disaster or a movie. The Gods are angry!
