The Playlist (2022) Trailer

🍿🍿🍿🍿 / 5 • IMDb

Led by Daniel Ek, a group of passionate young entrepreneurs come together in what seems to be the impossible task to change the music industry - and the world. They set out to create a legal streaming service for music.

This series tells the story of the early days of Spotify as seen through the eyes of some of the most important persons that started and helped the launch of the company.

While the first 5 episodes are pretty well done and told, the last episode is off and falls flat. However, the series itself is well done, the music is great and the acting is well done.

Moreover, the cinematography is brilliant, I loved the surrealism of the hallway in “The Lawyer” episode, or the Matrix-like colour-grading of “The Coder”.

The last episode, “The Artist”, shows Spotify from the side of the underpaid and struggling artist. While it’s based on reality, it’s a lot of agenda pushing and political correctness.

Four popcorns.

Shantaram (2022-) Trailer

🍿🍿🍿🍿 / 5 • IMDb

A heroin addict incarcerated for a robbery escapes prison and reinvents himself as a doctor in the slums of Bombay; his ties to the crime underworld there lead him to Afghanistan, where he partners with a mob boss locked in a battle with Russian criminals.

Good TV show from Apple tv+, locations are excellent, cinematography is great, and the music is very good. Charlie Hunnam does a great role. Five episodes are out so far and it’s a binge-worthy show.

Five popcorns.

The Watcher (2022)

The Watcher (2022) Trailer

🍿🍿🍿🍿 / 5 • IMDb

A married couple moving into their dream home are threatened by terrifying letters from a stalker, signed - “The Watcher.”

Based on the real-life case, beginning in 2014, of the Broaddus family, who were spied on, threatened, and ultimately driven to sell their home & leave the town they loved, by a mysterious stalker who identified themselves only as “The Watcher” in the letters sent to Mr & Mrs Broaddus.

This is a pretty well made suspense mini-series. The critics bombed it, which means it’s actually good. It grabs your attention in the first few minutes and it will make you binge it. Could this have been better? Maybe. Is it good enough to worth watching it? Well, it’s got Naomi Watts and Stifler’s mom in it, so definitely.

Four popcorns.

Cunk on Shakespeare (2016)

Cunk on Shakespeare (2016) Trailer

🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿 / 5 • IMDb

The character from Charlie Brooker’s Weekly Wipe (2013) presents a mockumentary about William Shakespeare, talking us through his life and works in her own unique style.

Philomena Cunk takes a look at Shakespeare, exploring why his writing is so popular to this day, and looks at the variety of his work.

A wonderful combination, the writing skills of Charlie Brooker, the talent of Diane Morgan, and the iconic figure of William Shakespeare.

It’s the originality that I enjoy so much, I can’t think of any other character who’s quite like Philomena, Morgan is so good, so natural, so very funny. It’s the absurdity that’s so good. Six popcorns.

Cunk on Earth (2022-)

Cunk on Earth (2022-) Trailer

🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿 / 5 • IMDb

Philomena Cunk (from Charlie Brooker’s Weekly Wipe) knows absolutely nothing about anything, but that won’t stop her attempting to present a ground-breaking documentary about it. Philomena always asking the questions no one dares to pose. The greatest journalist ever.

Tells the story of our greatest inventions such as the wheel, the Mona Lisa and nuclear power. Along the way, she will ask experts hard-hitting questions about humanity’s progress, as well as standing near impressive old ruins, or inside museums.

Following the great format of Cunk on Britain, Philomena goes to travel the world, giving great information about the history of the Earth.

This is just as dumb as its predecessor, it’s even funnier, and it has a shitload of locations filmed. Six popcorns.

Colognian commissioner Gereon Rath moves to Berlin, the epicenter of political and social changes in the Golden Twenties.

This is a wonderful TV series, the atmosphere is great, the locations are superb, the casting and music are excellently done. The story, while a bit of a slow burn, unfolds very nice.

Six popcorns and it definitely goes to the Movie Vault when it’s finished.

This three-part documentary series from director Joe Berlinger explores the warped mind of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer through newly-unearthed recorded interviews with his legal team, revealing the ways that race, sexuality, class and policing allowed him to prey upon Milwaukee’s marginalized communities.

Vesper (2022)

Vesper (2022) Trailer

🍿🍿🍿🍿 / 5 • IMDb

After the collapse of Earth’s ecosystem, Vesper, a 13-year-old girl struggling to survive with her Father, must use her wits, strength and bio-hacking abilities to fight for the future.

This is a slow burning sci-fi set in a dystopian future, showing the sad and ugly part of a cyberpunk/steampunk universe. A harsh, bleak look at the world progress left behind. It’s somehow Elysium, but without all the action scenes and without Matt Damon.

It’s violent, it’s harsh, it’s gloomy to the point of depression, but it feels realistic. Four popcorns

Oh, Vesper, you don’t know the cost of dreams.

Where the Crawdads Sing (2022)

Where the Crawdads Sing (2022) Trailer

🍿🍿🍿🍿 / 5 • IMDb

Abandoned by her family, Kya Clark, otherwise known to the townspeople of Barkley Cove as the Marsh Girl, is mysterious and wild. “Where the Crawdads Sing” is a coming-of-age story of a young girl raised by the marshlands of the south in the 1950s. When the town hotshot is found dead, and inexplicably linked to Kya, the Marsh Girl is the prime suspect in his murder case.

It’s a well written movie, the acting is pretty good and it adds up to good drama. The story is layered very nice and kept me hooked until the end. Also, the main movie’s song, Carolina, written and performed by Taylor Swift is a nice gem. Four popcorns.
