The Terminal List (2022)
One of the best shows on Amazon Prime
I usually think many of their espionage spy political thrillers are mid like Jack Ryan. But this one didn't disappoint. It has everything very good. One thing I don't get is people saying this show does not have politics. It has deep-rooted political themes which can easily be interpreted. I find this show more left-leaning than many Netflix shows.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)
Groovy!
I only have one word for this movie- Groovy! This is Sam Raimi's MCU-style movie. I was a bit worried that he'll tone down a bit but he didn't. Everything is done jn Sam Raimi's style. Also I think it has the best visuals in an MCU movie. It was 100% worth it seeing it in a Imax 3d. Trust me dont miss this in Imax. Only problem I had with this was this movie had sloppy writing. Actual plot of this movie is not that epic as I thought it'll be. I had great expectations on writing part cause this movie had Loki's writer.
Turning Red (2022)
Another heartwarming fun emotional pixar masterpiece!
You are dead inside if you cannot related to this movie. Maybe the Best PG movie about puberty. When I watched the trailer I was kind of turned off by the animation style. But the animation style suits the movie. I also liked how racists got mad at this movie. It's fun seeing grown racists just getting mad.
Inside Job (2021)
Funny and Interesting
I loved everything about it. I binged all the episodes just now and loved every second of it. It can definitely trigger some people though. Many can't stand female characters or they cant stand seeing their crazy conspiracy getting ridiculed.
No Time to Die (2021)
End of an era. Craig is the best Bond
"The job's done and the bastard is dead"
I am so glad that this was Craig's final film not Spectre. It's not a masterpiece like Casino Royale or a perfect film like Skyfall...It has many flaws but still I loved this movie. This felt like Craig's version of On her Majesty's secret service & Dr. No. Some action sequences looked really good. I watched it on Imax screen so I loved the cinematography. The ending is emotional for Craig Bond fans.
Cinderella (2021)
Better than original
If I want to show a Cinderella adaptation among all the 100s of them I'll pick this one. The original story feels very outdated to show kids. I have not watched that much musicals but it is my fav one.
The Incredible Hulk (1996)
S1 is one of the best things on Hulk out there
I'll just talk about S1 here. S2 is just horrible & unwatchable. Just skip s2 completely only watch s1. This is far better than MCU's Hulk. Although not a perfect show it has some flaws, it does get character of Hulk & Banner right. Something which MCU failed. In MCU they just used him as plot device nothing more than that. Even side characters & General Ross in this show were done right. Bruce Banner/Hulk is a tragic character that is not meant to just play with jokes everytime & this show gets it right. I would definitely recommend this show for Hulk fans who want a proper Hulk story/adventure. Just keep in mind this is a 90s cartoon show...So somethings are gonna play in that style...
Mare of Easttown (2021)
One of the best show of this year!
This is a really good series. Kate Winslet has played the character sooo well. And not just Kate Winslet every other actor has perfectly played the character. After Winslet's character, I loved Evan Peters's character too (Bohner).
This show is not just finding the killer thing. It is also about grief, community, family, depression. It did a really great job of mixing both up.
If you start watching this as just a detective-killer show then you will find it as a very slow-paced show. But its themes are way bigger than just murder mystery. Now when I'm saying that it's not just a murder mystery don't think that I'm saying that there is not enough detective elements. It is pretty hard to guess the killer. I think the greatest achievement of this show is perfectly mix both deep themes about grief, depression all that & the interesting Murder Mystery...who's the killer thing.
There are moments in the show where it throws you off because of how much sadness the character is going through. There are also very little small moments that makes up giggle. I loved moments like that. Almost every character in the show is going through some kind of depressing thing & then there are moments like that.
Overall it is a really good show. Well written, well acted. I needed something to watch weekly after The Falcon and the winter soldier ended & I really enjoyed it. I highly recommend Mare of East Town.
Gravity Falls (2012)
Mysterious, Funny, Spooky & Heartwarming
Gravity Falls is one of the best things by Disney. It has everything for everyone. It has the perfect balance of Spookiness & Ridiculousness. It is my favorite Summer holiday spooky story. The best part about it is it is suitable for all ages. There are some jokes though that only Teens or adults will get it.
The characters are interesting, mysterious & adorable. Maple is my favorite character. She's really adorable. They also did the side characters right. None of the side characters feels wasted.
The overall theme of the show has mixed mystery, spookiness & ridiculousness. The plot & theme is interesting & filled with mystery & funny & adorable moments. It has some grown-up themes too in some of the episodes(By grown-up themes I meant themes that have deeper meaning). Even the filler episodes that do not contribute much to the main plot are enjoyable.
It's a must-watch and yeah it's for all ages so you can watch it with your kids or other family members.
WandaVision (2021)
Most unique thing by MCU
WandaVision is the most unique thing MCU has ever done. I appreciate that they have taken a risk by making something like this.
Sitcoms are my favorite genre of TV. I grew up watching Sitcoms on TV. I still watch many different sitcoms on youtube, prime , hotstar etc. And this show is a love letter to that genre. Every episode gives tribute to different era of Sitcoms. It is a must watch for people who are a fan of sitcoms.
But it also has great MCU content. Every episode has some kind of mystery or spookiness to it. Some episodes raises many questions and some gives answers but adds many other questions. This is the reason this show is best enjoyed in watching weekly release format. Every episode create hype for next episode. This cant be fully enjoyed in Binge watching experience.
Well this tributes to sitcoms, hype for next episode these are just icing on cake. The main theme of the show is grief and how some people create their own bubble to escape the truth. And how this can be harmful to themselves and others too. How this bubble can completely change you. Wanda is indeed the most tragic character in MCU. In some episodes I feel really sad for her. I am excited to see her again in Dr Strange 2. And yes by the way Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Betnney, Kathrine Hahn all these actors has given Marvelous performances. No one could have played the role of Agatha better than Kathrine Hahn.
Now about some disappointments I have with WandaVision. My biggest disappointment from this show was in the finale of the episode. They hyped up about Quicksilver and I was sure that MCU is going Multiverse or that Xmen is coming to MCU. But no that Quicksilver turns out to be just some random dude just same actor recasted. While I enjoyed Wanda's character arc and all the other characters this Quicksilver thing was my biggest disappointment with the show. But still overall I loved the show,
Wonder Woman: Bloodlines (2019)
Pretty Good
It's an Okayish movie. Wonder Woman's story is revisited in Okayish way. It has pretty fine plot & the last fight was good. It has a badass moment for Wonder Woman. I have watched it because I was disappointed with Wonder Woman 1984. This was a perfect recovery for me from that disaster.
Overall Wonder Woman Bloodlines is Watchable Okayish
Tenet (2020)
One of the best spy movies ever made
TENET is one of the best spy movies ever made. If you are a fan of the spy genre & sci-fi then this is a must-watch. It is also the most complex Nolan movie yet. Christopher Nolan is one of the best directors of the last 2 decades. I really want a sequel of Tenet now. 2020 was supposed to be a bad year but then TENET was released. It's really a must must watch.
