Stranger Things Season 3 - Netflix Original Series

 


Genre: Fantasy, Drama, Horror, Science Fiction

Rating: TV 14

Synopsis: The new Starcourt mall is the talk of the town. But when strange things start happening with Billy, Max's brother, it's up to our favorite band of misfits to get to the bottom of the mystery. 

Straight off the bat in this season, it was amazing. Immediately there is a mystery, drama, and the start of a creature of some kind. The new characters like Mayor Larry, Cary Elwes did amazing and as a huge fan, it was awesome to see him in the show. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of Lucas's little sister's character but Priah Ferguson did a great job with the material she was given and towards the end I felt better about her being there. 

Everyone did such an amazing job with this season. From the writers to the actors and everyone in between. Special shout-outs this season are most definitely Millie Bobby Brown as Eleven and Dacre Montgomery as Billy. Both were just freaking incredible in their respective roles and really made you feel every emotion. 

The kids are definitely aging up so I'm glad they are in summer break. Future seasons will need to take how old they are into account as it won't be long until it's obvious they are older than teens. Each did amazing in their roles and honestly, I could watch their characters for years. College, and beyond if I could. 

Best: Episode 4 - The Sauna Test. Great acting, great story progression, and Code Red. 

Worst: Episode 5 - The Flayed. The group in the tunnels...Ugh.

Final Thoughts

This season was just beyond amazing. The writing, action, creature, and the entire cast just kicked butt. In my opinion, this season was the best to date. This really set the bar high for the next one. 

9 out of 10. Highly recommend. The best one yet. 

Always Keep Fighting. 

You Are Enough.

Teen Wolf: The Movie 2023

  Genre:  Drama, Fantasy, Mystery Rating:  TV-MA Synopsis:  A full moon rises in Beacon Hills, and with it a terrifying evil has emerged. The wolves are howling once again, calling for the return of Banshees, Werecoyotes, Hellhounds, Kitsunes, and every other shapeshifter in the night. But only a Werewolf like Scott McCall, no longer a teenager yet still an Alpha, can gather both new allies and reunite trusted friends to fight back against what could be the most powerful and deadliest enemy they’ve ever faced. Being a huge fan of the TV show I was looking forward to this as I was intrigued as to what my favorite supernatural beings were up to and what they would face.  Honestly, for the villain of the story, I was somewhat confused by the choice, especially with the fact that the character highly connected to it in many ways, was missing entirely. Now I know that not all actors want to return for a follow-up, whether it be a sequel or whatever, however with this in mind the choice of v

Cabinet of Curiosities - 2022 Netflix Original

Image
  Genre:  Drama, Horror, Mystery Rating:  TV-MA Synopsis:  Bizarre nightmares unfold in eight tales of terror in a visually stunning, spine-tingling horror collection curated by Guillermo del Toro. As a huge fan of Guillermo del Toro, I had high hopes for this. The opening is visually stunning and the music reminds me of the nightmare before Christmas.  There are some huge stars present and regardless of the story, I personally think everyone did an incredible job showing each character. The problem with a collection of short stories, such as this, is you run into a time problem. Some stories did not get enough time, while others wasted time on things that did not progress fast enough for the time allotted.  Here is a quick breakdown of my thoughts for each episode.  Lot 36 - A very slow start and quick end. Lots of build up very little reward, but the monster was cool. 6 out of 10. Graveyard Rats - Very cool visuals, great story, and straight to the point. Great creature design. 8

Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous - Season 5 - Netflix Original

Image
Genre: Animation, Action, Adventure, Family, Science Fiction Rating: TV PG Synopsis: Teens attending an adventure camp on the opposite side of Isla Nublar must band together to survive when dinosaurs wreak havoc on the island. Previous seasons do need to be watched to understand the relationships between the group and what they've been through so far.  If you've seen the Jurassic World movies, including the most recent it will add some missing details but it's not necessary to watch them before.  I would recommend watching the Jurassic World Dominion movie before the last episode so that some revelations during the show will make sense and will avoid spoilers if you haven't seen the movie.  Season 5 is the last season so it had high expectations to finish with a bang and wrap up any loose ends. With a total of  12 episodes, this time around I did think it was the perfect amount, with the exception of Episode 5 which I thought was pretty much a filler.  Worse: Episode
