This movie was alright. It was more about vibes but I still found it enjoyable. The story was simple but not empty so the audience had space to think.

So this movie was definitely uncomfortable but I’m not sure if my discomfort was the kind that the movie was aiming for. Both characters are so erratic and uncomfortable to be around and I know part of it is their deteriorating mental state but I also feel like they’re just not good guys. Which is not a bad thing, it just made me empathize a lite less with them. Nonetheless, I understand why this movie appeals to people; it reflects a very unsettling state of mind, state of relationship, and that can be interesting.

This season was still ok but not as strong as season 1 in my opinion. Not bad enough to keep me away from watching season 3, I guess. I think there was some heavy handed writing in which the writers didn’t trust the audience to come to their conclusions and it made for rather cheesy parts at times.

I had first heard about this drama as a spin off from Day and Night but I think they don’t share that much in common expect for shared characters. Tonally, this drama felt more like a typical cop crime cdrama, while Day and Night was more distinct stylistically. I think this drama was still okay, but watch it as a typical cop show.I did think the acting and character relationships were compelling though.

This was Sarah Waters’ debut novel, and the second of hers that I’ve read after the Fingersmith. I didn’t enjoy this novel as much as the Fingersmith as I enjoyed the thriller aspects of the Fingersmith. As well, I found the narrator character in Tipping the Velvet somewhat unlikeable at times. But I can see why people would like this novel. It was about a woman exploring her sexuality, and had a big happy ending with all the closure. It just didn’t draw me in, specifically because I am not lesbian and so the sexuality journey did not speak to me, but again I just felt the main character hard to sympathize with at times. But still, I know some people will love this novel so please read it if you like novels about lesbian characters that are happy!

My mom mentioned she’d never seen this movie before but she enjoyed the Ten Commandments so we put this on for short Friday movie night. I watched this when I was younger and it was super epic. As an adult, it’s still very epic in style but the story is simple. Which is not bad, it was still a good movie. Also, I am not religious though I did go to Catholic school as a child. I view this movie as a movie.

This was a stressful movie. Not that it was a bad movie, but its style was very noisy and fast-paced and sometimes a bit claustrophobic. So it was an interesting movie but it made me anxious. Still would recommend giving it a watch though.

Interesting legal movie that leaves us pondering and lost as the main character is. I don’t mean this in a bad way. I meant that the main character was left questioning his own values.

To be honest I don’t enjoy the tomb raiding genre of cdramas. I had hoped that the older cast would made it a little more interesting. I do think the acting in this drama was better than what I’ve seen from other tomb raiding cdramas, but it still couldn’t make up for the generic story line. I ended up dropping this drama after three episodes.
