I really liked this show, It wasn't that cheesy too, some plotlines that are normally very easy to predict was not predictable at all

Dude talk say we must forget say him ever portray Sparkly Vampire. 😂😂

He's also damn very talented and can switch roles. If you want serious, he's got it. Silly roles, he's got it. Sad look, happy look, geek, normie, anything, he gets am.

I just love the way he chooses his projects. Works with Indie studios or majors. Franchise films or originals and he works with some of the most respectable filmmakers.

Seems he's in love with WB and A24.

MK2 hitting the highseas this early is likely a cam copy

I saw a trailer of this show on you tube. The minute he broke the 4th wall I was in. I followed it till he was written off and wasn't even aware about the scandal then.

I lost it at the last season when he left and didn't bother to finish it.

This before the movie even gets any reviews is weird ☺️

So many things wrong with The Odyssey. I was watching the trailer and wasn't really feeling anything. Unlike a Nolan film for me. I was indifferent to it.

The design, the cast, the dialogue just doesn't scream epic to me. That Cyclops I saw didn't move me one bit despite being happy with the fact that Nolan decided to add the fantasy elements.

As for Asghar Farhadi, bruh...... I was flabbergasted when I saw that score last week. I was like is this the famed Iranian director for films like A Hero, A Separation, The Salesman.
I am yet to watch his films but I know the man as well respected auteur. In fact, a maestro when it comes to international feature films.

I guess there's no good director who doesn't have a stale film. TENET was Nolan's.

This could be more catastrophic or very divisive.
Just two months away to see how it all unfolds.

The Boys (season 5).... 2/10


A terrible finale to a terrible final season.

Spoilers for the finale ahead -

The only positive in the finale was the last conversation between Hughie and Butcher. Every other scene was terrible, right from the cringe dialogue and anàl jokes during Frenchie's funeral.


I've seen this trend for years now in Hollywood where movies/series seem averse to emotional moments and constantly interrupt them with jokes and this scene was one of the biggest offenders. Its almost as if the writers think the audience cannot handle serious emotional scenes without interrupting them with jokes. It kills any emotional tension in the scene when its constantly filled with anàl jokes.

Sister Sage - what can I even say about this dúmb character. She was a running joke in the entire series where for a smart character she actually seemed pretty stúpid. Her conclusion was equally stúpid. Truly, a character can only be as smart as their writers. Her only purpose was to appear at the end of every series of random events and claim "it was my plan all along" with no logic behind it.

Everything about this season felt small. From every setting taking place in a small room or deserted street, to every superhero fight amounting to small punches with barely any powers used. Fake Black Noir who was immune to bullets from auto rifles somehow died to a table knife.

The entire finale taking place in a small oval office was disappointing. They didn't even destroy the room, just a few holes and scattered wall paint for a supposed final battle of some of the strongest characters in the entire series. How they even got past the non-existent security made no sense. So apparently the white house was still using the same access codes to tunnel entrances after like a year?
All the security of the white house being just access codes and no other form of security or manpower made no sense.

That's not to talk about homelander addressing just a room of people. Zero scale. Homelander had been teased of reaching a boiling point and snapping for how many seasons so far?
It all amounted to nothing but empty threats in an office...no public massacre, nothing.

And we are supposed to believe that the character so fast that he kept up with A-Train just a few episodes ago cannot escape an open room when he was actively trying to? The same character who flew off to space and back in like 3 seconds in the same episode cannot escape a room with significantly slower characters?

The Deep's conclusion was a clear case of plot convenience. Starlight didn't even know about the threat to Deep from the ocean. She just happened to fly him out to a beach for another low budget fight?

Soldier Boy was another wasted character. Revived just to be put back in a box. The writers really did him super dirty. His character's only existence was to market the spin-off.

The entire season, just like season 4 was a waste of time. Cringe sèx jokes and filler episodes.

There was no active buildup in the season to the finale. The characters in the final episode just decided in like 2 minutes to go attack the White House. And they infiltrated and reached the oval office in like 3 minutes.

Despite these negatives, Homelander's character ending was good after he lost his powers. His pathetic state after losing his powers was in line with his character but I wish we got a slight longer speech after he saw his begging wouldn't work when he switched to declaring that he was homelander and god. A longer speech of homeland declaring his godhood would have worked better.

A sad pathetic ending to such a series. Only the first 2 episodes of the final season were worth watching especially the character conclusion of A-Train.

The show should have ended in season 3 with a rewritten two hour finale. The past two seasons were nothing but a waste of time.

Right now I cannot recommend the show to anyone, unless I am recommending up to season 3. Its best to pretend the last 2 seasons do not exist. Such a shame what corporate greed could do to a show once regarded as the best superhero show on TV.

Interstellar (2014).......9/10

Finally got to watch this after redownloading in 2022... one of the few films that have been on my watchlist for almost a decade. Phew........

It was a fantastic watch. I would have given this a higher rating if not for the few space and physics jargons that I had to slowly digest to fully understand cos it's been a while I dabbled in spatial physics and its phenomena.

One of the few technicalities I liked in the film was the silence in scenes in open space, probably cos sound can't travel in space. I think.

I remember back then when this particular movie (if I remember correctly) was hotly discussed and debated that it took like 3 days for that topic to die down on this thread. Intellectual argument...that was back when we had a good number of geeks on this thread. Highly intelligent peeps in their own right. Top tier stuff for or against why they think space depictions in films were realistic or not.

Well, that has always been the power of Christopher Nolan's influence with his movies. He usually steers your mind and cognitive capacity watching his films. Seeing his brother Jonathan Nolan co-writing this film just showed how talented a filmmaker Jonathan has always been; this is remembering his ambitious Sci-Fi adventures like HBO's Westworld.

Matthew McConaughey... brilliant actor. Matt Damon and Anne Hathaway and the rest of the cast delivered superbly. A stacked cast with so many well respected actors.
Interesting seeing a young Timothee Chalamet in here. Seems dude has always been positioned in a place of greatness all his life.

Top top film.... a splendid watch. The cinematography and the CGI in the scenes depicting the Blackhole was just pure mastery. I don't know what inspired that Blackhole looks but it was cinematic.....I don't know why I look at it, it reminds me of Saturn. Maybe because of the massive ring around the Blackhole that makes it look like light orbiting around it.

Great twist at the end.

I noticed a few visial inspirations taken in Project Hail Mary borrowed from this film.

The Drama...... 8/10

I pretty much watch and I like the unique idea of the storyline. I just love the kind of projects Robert Pattinson dabbles in. Dude has so much depth. But I can't believe that scrawny legs I saw on Batman.


[b]Avatar: Fire and Ash....... 7/10

Top notch premium action all through. But it's becoming repetitive from Cameron as I could see little differences between this and Way of the Water. The few things bringing good juice to this flavor was the character development for Jake Sully's son, his adopted daughter and Monkey Boy.
Great visuals and sound design by the way. But if dude insists on releasing this till oblivion, at least he should space it well like 4yrs apart, not this 2 year thing. [/b]

Make dem fire dey go..... Only thing wey I no like na that David Oyelowo wey I see there. He's kinda synonymous to me to paying lip service to Nigerians with his painful mimicry of Nigerian accent and pidgin.

Do you know about the story or book? Mrs Dalloway?

Did you watch the filmmakers movie Eyimofe? I think I came across it a few times in naija online pages.
