Finished Hollywood and it just because repetitive. Every conflict is simply resolved by one of the main characters saying "fuck you" and the last two episodes felt more like a lecture with characters breaking into monologues almost every scene. Loved the first couple of episodes but the last few were pretty mediocre.

90 seconds into Upload on Amazon. The first scene neatly explains the coronavirus outbreak in New York. 
 

Edit:It’s interesting enough but not exactly very funny. 

Keep watching - I loved the 1st season:)!

I have. Starting episode 9 now. 
 

It’s great to see William B. Davis again. Haven’t seen him in anything since Continuum.

lmao, I Saw the Devil is such a silly and ridiculous film. Had a fun time and it was well made (some of the best gore I've ever seen) I guess but other than that, meh.

TV:

Finished up Normal People. Nice ending. the dude Paul Mescal is really great. Hope he stays booked and busy after this. The female lead will probably get roles off the back of this too since she's also good and looks like every other young british brunette that gets cast in Star Wars movies.

Week 5

(3rd-8th May 2020)

 

Movies

1.  Byôsoku 5 senchimêtoru: English title '5 Centimeter Per Second' by the director of Your Name. I was going to watch Weathering With You but the print available are with blurred sub space so skipped it for now and watched this. The film is story of a man's love for a girl in 3 acts in 3 different age; teenager and finally as adult. I personally liked the first one most. The film just like Your Name and Weathering With You is very beautiful. 7/10
2. Wake Up Sid: Same old Bollywood film pretending to be not, which might have felt good back when it released but poorly dated. 2/10
3. The Big Short: The behind the scene of 2008 recession told in a way of Disaster movie, with people in top ignoring the 'expert' and then the disaster starts unfolding. Good acting performances. 6/10
4. Hercules (1997): Watched it randomly, okay Disney animation. Nothing special. 5/10
5. Lincoln: The film is the performances basically, not something I had expected, with film just focusing on Slavery abolition amendment. Now I would have loved if they had just focused entirely on Congress proceedings in House of Card sorta. DDL is life of film, he look & live like Lincoln. 6/10
6. The Avengers: Watched only 3rd act. The film looks awful even for time. Joss Whedon is a terrible director and thank God he didn't do Infinity War and Endgame. NR
7. Bourne Identity: My biggest complain about film was the relationship developed between Bourne and Marie, which looked fake, out of place and illogical in this action spy film. The film is tale of amnesic spy searching for his identity and wasn't really impressed knowing that. 5/10
8. Haider: Rewatched it but will count as first time watch, I had only watched it once in low quality Camrip but I did liked it. This time, first half was almost perfect but as the film go toward climax, Vishal Bhardwaj started losing it going in more commercial tone but the first half set up is strong enough to hold it. The film capture Kashmir as Kashmir. Shahid is flawless and we are lucky to have Tabu. Irrfan as Roohdar is Fire. 8/10

Movie of the Week: Haider

 

Haider is available on Netflix. I was gonna share Trailer but Trailer spoils a key element of the film. Don't watch the Trailer before watching the film.

This is funny because I think the third act is like the only thing that holds up from the rest of it.
 

But he is a terrible director and he is not funny and we were blessed with him not doing infinity war/Endgame

Yeah, the movie would've looked great if it had the cement and dirt look that Infinity War and Endgame had.

FX's DAVE S1

 

Funny show. Effective cameos. And some touching moments. Watch it.

I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS SHOW. It's an extended Black Mirror episode but without all that forced grim-ness. It's really touching (often unintentially). The romance angle is also something i can see being troped and copied in sci-fi movies for years to come.

First rave I've seen for this show. Most of the reactions I've seen are lukewarm. The trailer just gave me Downsizing vibes (the trailer has the same music as the Downsizing trailer and they both involve the main character going to another world) but it looked fun. Guess I'll give it a go.

Watched Harakiri (1962), basically because of its appearance in @The Panda’s Historical Fiction list and the recommendations of @4815162342 and @Jake Gittes. It really is fantastic.

I'm so happy someone else loved it!  I've never binged a show in a week, and it's the 1st one I did...and I'm SO HAPPY they announced that there will be a season 2!:)
