Young Sheldon: Memoir (2024) Season 7, Episode 14

Not a perfect ending

[2/10 · 17 May 2024]

The ending was way below average. Nothing really happens from the previous episode. Same type emotions were added in this episode also. Mary in grief, meemaw in grief, George Jr trying to fix things, Sheldon and Missy being themselves. The older Sheldon and Amy scenes were unnecessary and just didn't fit. They just didnt seem like a couple. Why bring up kids of sheldon when they are not shown at all.

There was no proper closure for Mary Cooper and Missy's character. Only the recap was good in this episode and little bit of humor in baptism at the end. They could have added some more minutes of him visiting the caltech.

777 Charlie (2022)

South Indian movies are hyped for no reason

[5/10 · 27 April 2024]

Just an average movie which is stretched long for 160+ mins. First half of the movie is good. The story of how a careless man transforms into a caring man is very well presented with humor. Once the dog and man bonds, the movie completely shifts to a boring plot. Then it's about the dog having disease and the man's commitment to fulfill the dogs wish of paying in Snow before it dies. They start on roadtrip which is more than half of the movie. On the way, They always meet good animal living people on the road who help them when needed. The subplots of dog show, magazine, meeting another dog lover, dog loving army man etc is boring and stretched.

Can watch first half and second half can be watched in Fast mode. Nothing really happens in second half which is worth watching.

Udal (2022)

Inspired from Don't Breathe

[5/10 · 17 April 2024]

The movie is good in first half and bad in second half. The story was very good in first up and it build up nice tension among the characters. The second half ruined everything. They just made indran an action hero and he can defend from 2 strong adults. Lot of injury for indran but he still manages to overpower others. Second half is completely spent on Indran fighting and hitting other. Even kills one with trap.

It would have been an interesting watch had the indran s character used some other means to expose the guilty instead of going full action mode. Some unwanted sx scenes are added. Overall one time watch.

Ae Watan Mere Watan (2024)

Just skip

[1/10 · 21 March 2024]

Some of the movies can be avoided just by looking at the main leads. If someone like Sara Ali khan, ananya etc are in a movie as main lead, it's strict avoid. The makeup and style of Sara in this movie doesn't suit the time period. It looks more fake. And her acting is just bad. Even a child actor has more expressions than Sara.

Coming to the story it's again the usual story set during British rule. The story is slow and boring. The makers should do more research before doing such movies. Most of it looks like fiction. Need to fill some more of characters and just adding some random text here.

Salaar (2023)

Too much build up

[3/10 · 10 February 2024]

Too much build up in every scene and nothing really happens after the build up. Every scene is elevated with loud music , big dialogues about Prabhas and then he kills people with axe. In entire movie he kills people with axe in slow motion. First half of movie nothing really happens apart from build up.

Second half there is some story on khansaar origin and structure. But after it's again same just build up and axe action scene. Location, screenplay, bgm is completely derived from KGF.

Prabas just has 1 expression in entire movie. Same type action in entire movie with axe and sword. Prithiraj was good. Sruti hassan was worst. Nothing to wait for second part. It will be same slow motion axe and sword fight from prabhas.

Animal (I) (2023)

Good in parts not whole

[5/10 · 29 January 2024]

Animal as a whole is a tiresome watch especially the second half is dragged unnecessarily. The main lead can do anything like taking gun to school, killing person openly in a packed conference without any police action. The action scenes are just good but the one with big machine is very lengthy. It's dragged with unwanted jokes on undies and song. 1 man fights with an entire army of people with an axe whereas his bodyguards sing song without doing anything.

The second half is lengthy with unwanted scenes, lame jokes which does not add anything to the movie. The main villian is just hardly for 20 mins. The climax was good but villians bodyguard are killed easily in their home without any fight. It's ends with 1-1 fight with song and bodyguards just watching like usual. End credit scene was bloody good.

Squid Game: The Challenge (2023– )

Just Watch the challenges

[7/10 · 25 November 2023]

This is a reality show and not a web series like Squid game. The challenges are same as series with a little difference and it's interesting. I just watched the challenges and skipped the part were contestants talk on camera and chatting in dorm. If you watch full, it will be boring. Just watching the challenges and it will be interesting.

The battle ship challenge was very very good. Next was the elimination by voting where they build up the tension. Jack in the box, telephone one was also good. Some contestants are annoying and you feel they need to get eliminated soon. Waiting for new episodes.

Leo (III) (2023)

Can't belive the same director made Vikram

[3/10 · 25 November 2023]

This movie is so bad compared to Vikram. Vikram had set the standard so high and Leo is just so low. The actions scenes look so fake and VFX of hyena and the eagle was too bad. Movie hardly has any story. First half the movie is about how Vijay saves his family from some petty goons and second half is nothing but villians who wants to prove Vijay is Leo. So many fights occurs because the villians want to Vijay to confess he is Leo. The fights especially the car chase scene looks so fake. The fight in the end is dragged for more than 20 mins. The scene where villian gets trapped and hyena killing last guy is comedic. The fight in begining with hyena is also bad.

Only Few actions scenes were good. Vijay acted well in some emotional and climax scene. Trisha doesnt have much screen presence. The english songs for action scenes doesnt fit at all. Can't belive this movie was also directed by Lokesh.

The Killer (2023)

Bored with Narration

[2/10 · 12 November 2023]

Just watched based on rating but narration in beginning makes entire movie boring.

Movie starts quickly without much opening credits but then it's all about narration for next 20 mins without anything happening. The killer in the room and narration continues for long which makes it boring. I was just waiting for narration to end. The narration also does not add anything to the story. Its just the random thoughts of the killer. The story then picks up some pace after the hit job goes wrong but doesn't keep you hooked. He then moves to different place around the world to escape the attack on him and his family. This movie needs a lot of patience to watch.

Takeshi's Castle (2023– )

Please don't watch

[1/10 · 4 November 2023]

Just watched few mins of this show and it's very very bad. Can't compare it with the OG show with iconic Javed Jafris voice and humor. Buvan Bams humor and voice is so low. The voice doesnt suit the show. The humor are very cheap. It looks like it's more of Buvan promoting his YouTube channel. Even the intro was bad.

Ghost Stories (2020)

Where was the Ghost

[1/10 · 29 October 2023]

Just watched 2 stories and there was hardly any ghost nor any scare. Movie is very very slowed paced without any thrill associated with horror movie. The entire movie was shot in dark with hardly any visuals clearly. No idea what the so called Great Directors of bollywood wanted to say.

The first story by zoya hardly had any content and very slow paced. Janvi Kapoor can't act. It's that simple. Only the old lady was somewhat good.

The second story by Anurag Kashyap was the worst. Nothing in the made any sense and a ghost who looks more like a cartoon. And there were many dream sequence of the lady getting attacked. It was shot in black and white. These directors think they can pull off a black and white movie but it was disaster.

Third story again started in dark and I just stopped watching.

A Deadly Invitation (2023)

Bore fest

[1/10 · 22 October 2023]

Just boring to watch this whodunit movie. The main lead does all the work and police keeps listening to her just because she has podcast on solving cases. She has authority to call others, go outside and all others are confined in the mansion. After 15 mins you will just want to fast forward it to the end to know the culprit. They tried to copy from knives out but failed badly The cast is total let down. Need to fill in some text to complete the character requirement. Just copying the above.

Just boring to watch this whodunit movie. The main lead does all the work and police keeps listening to her just because she has podcast on solving cases.

Dream Girl 2 (2023)

Audio fine Video not Good

[2/10 · 21 October 2023]

Dream girl 1 was good since a man talking like a woman over phone and men falling for it is believable. But dream girl 2 is like video call of Dream girl 1. Ayushman doesn't look like a beautiful girl wearing saree or kuti. He Looks more of a Trans and lots of men still fall for it. Story is similar to DG 1 and instead of just voice, this time it's video. Lots of coincidence to create comedy. No idea why people from different religions are added and everyone is 100% secular especially in the matter of marriage.

Ayushmaan should come of this kind of movie making. It's becoming repetitive. Ananya should quit acting. Rajpal just wasted. Only annu Kapoor , Vijay raaz and tiger pandey were good and funny. Not even time pass watch.

Beckham (2023– )

Excellent

[10/10 · 10 October 2023]

This is a must watch for any football fan even if you are not fan of Manchester united or Real Madrid. Interviews of player and coach who played along with Beckham was perfect. We get to see how tough Sir Alex was as a manager and did not care about Bechkams stature. Many things from the past with Real footage are shown which I never knew about. The backlash David got in every game for months after getting Red card in 98 WC was heartbreaking.

The interviews with Ole, Gary, Ronaldo, Figo , Carlos, Alex and simione were great. I wish there was more from Victoria and his kids. The icing on the cake was last 5 mins involving Inter Miami and Messi1.

The Year I Started Masturbating (2022)

Totally misleading title

[2/10 · 1 October 2023]

Very basic story without any comedy. The main character quits her high paying job for relationship but then downfall occurs everywhere. In almost 3/4 of the movie , she is shown as loser without any money even for food. Then she meets a woman who suggested her to satisfy using toys and then everything becomes good in her life. Gets her high paying job back. All her problems gets solved after this. Everyone who left her comes back to her. She just does it twice in whole movie. All characters are forgettable. Just adding some more text to fill the character limit. Another 30 characters needed now.

Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (2023)

Not KJs cup of tea

[2/10 · 23 September 2023]

KJ wants to give a social message in his movie and fails badly. One family is full of stereotypes and other full of intellectuals. So a person from intellectual family goes to other family and awakens them. That's it that's the story and it is executed poorly. First 1 hr is spent on love story of grandpa and grandma with old songs. Then time is filled with social message gyaans. The gyaans are instant. Rani speaks a few sentence and other person awakens immediately. So many issues are solved by rani. One funny instance is a room full of company directors discussing how to solve online trend against the company, Rani enters tells a line and solves everything within minutes. Another illogical scene in a lingerie shop. It doesn't make any sense.

Ranveer Singh overacts a lot in first half of the movie. Alia is ok but doesn't suit the role. Jaya and rockys dad are in angry mood always. Other characters are just ok without much importance. At the end after directors name is shown, full video of rocky ranis marriage is shown which was totally unnecessary.

Rekha (2023)

Netflix should add 2x speed

[2/10 · 26 August 2023]

This is a slow paced movie like extremely slow. Netflix should add 2x speed for such moviea. The opening credits scene is just about coconut being carried in Activa front side for 3 mins. In first half most of the time is spent on just long chatting , talking by lovers over phone. The romance scene is also stretched very long.. after tragedy happens its just about revenge. There is not much of thrill in finding the culprit. The lady easily finds the culprit but again unnecessarily the scenes are stretched. Some decent action scenes at the end and it's predictable lengthy.. Another irritating thing is the same heavy background music is used in most of the scenes. Acting is average from both leads. Only cinematography is good in this movie.

Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam (2022)

What was the movie about

[4/10 · 14 August 2023]

This movie is very slow and doesn't explain many things. It's just like an episode of Malgudi days with extended time. 100mins for this was too long. Could have been a short movie. There are many things which was never explained at all. How and why? People might tell this is an art movie and not a regular type movie to enjoy but still there should be some conclusion of how and why. Watched it with so much expectations after checking the ratings but completely disappointed.

Only mamooty and old blind lady shines here. Rest of the characters have limited on screen time. Can watch just for the acting of mamooty.

Saudi Vellakka (2022)

Interesting plot but dragged

[5/10 · 11 February 2023]

Another movie based on court case on small issue involving an Old lady. The premise was good and first half of movie went on good pace. The manner in which the old ladys son and his friend try everything to get her bail was interesting. The second half is a let down. Second half is dragged with too many court visits. So many other cases are shown in between which doesn't add anything to main story. Second half is just about old woman visiting court on every hearing and getting another court date. It's becomes boring after some times. The climax was good with emotional touch. The old lady faints many times but nothing happens to her.

Dsp (2022)

Couldn't watch completely

[1/10 · 31 December 2022]

This movie was released in Netflix. When I scrolled, it was Vijay setupathis movie. So immediately started watching this movie just thinking it might be good due to Vijay. It's totally bad movie. It's a just like usual masala movie without proper storyline and cringe comedy. Movie starts with huge belly police doing the ususal masala action hitting lot of villians. I thought this might be a dream sequence by Vijay but it was not. Then the flashback scene of character introduction and cheap comedy added in between. I tried to watch this but couldn't after 30 mins. The acting, dialogues are totally bad. Totally avoidable movie.

Beast of Bangalore: Indian Predator (2022)

Another lazy documentary from Netflix

[2/10 · 18 December 2022]

I know this case in early 2000s when this was a sensational news and so many stories about umesh reddy used to come on media. The Netflix documentary is very slow. They have recreated the videos of violence committed by umesh but they never show it properly. The faces are blurred and not shown properly even in recreated videos. What is the use of adding recreated videos if it was not meant to be shown?

The pace of the documentary is also very slow. Watching in 1.5x also feels slow. The interviews of many police officers were not needed at all. How did they solve the case, how did they gather evidence nothing was shown.

Kantara (2022)

Don't know why so much hype for this

[1/10 · 25 November 2022]

Finally watched this movie on OTT. The hype was totally fake. There is nothing worth watching in this movie. People say it's due to the song at the end which is now removed due to copyright. Even then the movie from stating to the end is nothing special. The main character is just annoying who does all kind of wrong things in the movie.

The heros template is same like other south Indian movies village hero. Hero is poor. Hero doesn't have father. Hero is popular in entire village. Hero has few enemies due to his popularity. Hero always wins village sporting event. Hero lives for welfare of villagers. Hero has few side kicks for comedy. Hero drinks, smokes , hunts wild boars(new in this movie) teases women and it's made to look cool. Hero has a lover. Hero has romantic songs. Hero as usual can beat 20plus guys alone with his hands. The hero gets angry and keeps screaming screaming everytime for silly reason. The story is also usual rich vs poor. Only Climax has something interesting where the hero dances , screams a lot which is also irritating sometimes and fights but build up to climax is totally boring.

People just give higher rating just because it is from south and the hype around it. Totally not worth the time.

Pepsi, Where's My Jet? (2022)

Interesting and also not Interesting

[5/10 · 19 November 2022]

Netflix should either make a complete documentray or make a series. They mix both in this. There was no need to recreate the scenes happened 25 years ago with different actors. The present day story of both John and Todd hiking in snow is totally useless. The old videos shown were enough and that's the good part. Recreated videos were just bad with bad actors.

The story was interesting but presentation was bad. They stretched it by adding fillers and made it 4 episodes. They keep showing the jet in present day time but nothing about it was shown. How did John acquire the jet was never shown in this documentary.

Sinam (2022)

Where was the thrill

[1/10 · 13 November 2022]

Simple 1980s movie story dragged for 2 hrs. There is hardly any thrill in this movie. The hero has just 1 expression entire movie. Be it romantic scene, angry scene, fighting scene, his face expression is same. The investigation was very simple. The guy who was not coming for more than 1 month, comes just after police enquired about him. From there, the clues were very simple for police to catch the culprit.

There are some unwanted songs in the middle. Acting wise the hero was just average in his performance with same expression everytime. The lady's acting was ok but her role is just limited.

Sita Ramam (2022)

It's Just OK movie

[5/10 · 25 September 2022]

The love story is average and nothing special in this movie. Love stories blooming over letters were already there before and are much better. This one was pretty lame. As usual the hero is good with everyone. He stops a riot with his speech without any weapons with is totally unrealistic. The hero who is very good officer easily gets distracted after reading love letters. He even goes in search of the women after reading letters. He easily meets the women who was writing him letters and there was no suspense at all. Sitamahalxmi is a princess from royal family but roams alone without any security. Ram and Sitamahalaxmi always look fresh in all scene with full makeup and perfect hairs. This movie has shown that there are good army officers in pakistan and nobody has any problem with it. The climax was very funny and rushed. They just belive the contents of letter after 20 years.

Rashmika is such a bad actor and total waste in this movie. DS as ram was very good and loved his style. MT as sita was very average and her expression were same for entire movie. The chemistry of both actors were average. Unwanted comedy scenes are added in between.
