Uyanis: Büyük Selcuklu (2020)
Word on sabbah
Just a word on hassan sabbah for whom so many are having a good moan. And the word is
Assassin
Go look up the history of the word.
F Is for Family (2015)
Solid, but 10/10? C'mon!
People really need to start being responsible with their ratings. It's a good, well written series featuring characters with depth. Solid.
But 10/10? Really? The best show you've ever seen?!
Cursed (2020)
Interesting interlinked characters putting on a new spin to an old tale
First a rant on how members rate on imdb. If you like it, its a 10 and if you don't its a 1. What kind of people rate like that?! Turns out the majority. So no points considered for multiple factors such as story, direction, editing, production design, acting, costumes, action etc.
Nope. I like it, its a 10, i don't, its a 1 because there's no zero.
Onto this series itself. I'm not sure what people expect from these kinds of shows especially because a large audience seems to have been created out of GOT. Not all fantasy is GOT nor will it have its intricacies.
This series is a blend, a take on the mythology of Arthur, Merlin, Lancelot, Lady of the lake Nimue, Morgana etc. If you sit to watch it without predispositions, you will be entertained by a rather well made show. Many here seem to want a big dose of everything right off the bat, but thats not how a series is meant to develop.
You will find those who are thus rating such and writing the negative reviews do the opposite for shows like DARK where everything is basically a repetition. I liked DARK, but where I to be negative then that's what i would say.
So for those thinking whether you should invest your time watching CURSED, I would say it is a light, fast moving entertainer, a page turner if i use a book analogy and lovely production design as well, which really gives you a feel for the mythical mask of the story.
The Body (2019)
Dagger for the eyes
Story had a bit of a beginning to slightly arouse your interest and an ending that tries so hard to gobsmack you but it's more like finding the McDonald's clown opening for an A-list comedian.
The rest (story telling, camera angles, awful special effects etc) was garbage, chewed by a goat, ruminated and vomited out on your screen for you to digest.
Why I rated it 2, and not less? For the main actors, who even through this painful ordeal, kept their acting dignity
Cobra Kai (2018)
Fantastic TV we all need
What this series does from the beginning, is how all follow up shows, sequels etc. should accomplish. It effortlessly reminds you of the principal characters then and now and merges them seamlessly. You're feeling and cheering on everyone because they all portray themselves so beautifully. And the best part? The things you normally consider cheesy are reproduced in such a genius manner, you'll be wanting more
Black Mass (2015)
No coherence..poorly told story with loose connections
Directors too often focus on individual scenes trying to milk their actors nowadays. This often leads to movies with seemingly no cohesion. Whether it's a style or something they think resonates with a certain crowd is hard to say. What is easy to remark is that this is a movie that has many pieces without a string. You're left with a yearning for a 'mov'ie but presented with something akin to stills.
Sure it has one or two moments, but with such an excellent ensemble, you expect good things from the movie and it just fails.
It could have been a great crime drama..look at departed or Donnie Brasco. It never really gets going and is quite boring
