“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since it seemed to have a decent reputation, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, to be honest, I really had a hard time to get a good grip on this movie. The fact that I was really exhausted when I watched the damned thing probably ” read more

“Since I really didn’t like ‘Escape Plan 2: Hades’ at all, I had some very low expectations regarding this sequel but since I have the bad habit of watching pretty much anything starring Sylvester Stallone, I still ended up watching this movie. Well, to be honest, I think it was actually a slig” read more
What is it about?
Toby Fleishman knew what to expect when he and his wife of almost 15 years separated: weekends and every other holiday with the kids, some residual bitterness, and the occasional moment of tension in their co-parenting negotiations.
My verdict:
I actually really enjoyed the damned thing, much more than I expected. It probably had to with the fact that I'm going myself through a really ugly divorce right now. To make it even more eerie, my relationship with my ex-wife was just so similar to Toby's relationship with Claire when they were still together. Unfortunately, to be honest, the structure was a mess though. Indeed, you basically spend about 6 episodes focusing on Toby, then suddenly one of focusing on Claire and the last one on Libby which was rather weird. They should have either focus only on Toby or not focus at all on only one of the characters and balance the whole thing between the 4 characters involved (Toby, Claire, Libby and Seth). By going one way all along and switching gears way too late, the end-result was rather jarring and, to be honest, rather unsatisfying. Anyway, I still think it was quite fascinating, I do believe that the characters were very well written and the cast involved was pretty much pitch-perfect. 
“Even before this sequel turned out to be a box-office flop, I was already not really dying to see it but Nick, my step-son, was really interested to check it out so we went to see it together at the movie theater. For some reasons, Nick was convinced that we saw the first instalment together which w” read more
“Recently, I have been focusing on watching older movies going from the 1950’s up to the 1900’s and I came across this really obscure stop-motion feature on YouTube by accident. It’s only afterwards that I discovered that the music had been added by the guy who put the video on YouTube but he d” read more

What was it about?
The travels of a lone bounty hunter in the outer reaches of the galaxy, far from the authority of the New Republic.
My two cents:
To be honest, I always had some mixed feelings about this TV-show. I mean, sure, it is fairly entertaining but I think its reputation has been artificially increased for two reasons. First, when Disney+ became available, it was the only original TV-show available for a very long time. Basically, there was nothing else to see exclusively only on this streaming platform. Second, everything released about Star Wars, arguably since the original trilogy, had been mostly disappointing so it was a rather low bar to achieve from the start. Still, there is no doubt that the Mandalorian is the coolest Star Wars character ever since Han Solo showed up already a few decades ago (too bad they made him remove his helmet at some point). It is also displayed Disney was willing to go really deep in their pockets to deliver some expansive TV-shows which could compete with your average blockbuster which was pretty exciting. Finally, it displayed that the Star Wars universe still had tremendous potential, especially if they finally let go of the Skywalker dynasty because, frankly, I think we can all agree that we had enough of them after a whopping three trilogies. Eventually, I hope they won’t milk dry this franchise for too long but I will keep watching it for the time being.
My rating: 07/10
“Since I have always been a huge fan of ‘Clerks’, of course, I was really eager to check this 3rd instalment. Well, to be honest, for a while, I was actually really worried. Indeed, there were just so many things that really didn’t work. There were some details like the fact that Jay And Silent” read more
What is it about?
It showcases what happened in 1993 in Waco, Texas when cult leader David Koresh faced off against the federal government in a siege of 51 days.
My verdict:
Even if I was just a kid at the time, I remember very well this news story and I was always intrigued by this horrific true tale and I always wondered what the hell happened back then. Well, even though the conspiracy theorists might argue otherwise, I thought they gave here a fairly unbiased point of view. Basically, even though David Koresh was indeed seriously messed up, who knows how many more lives could have been saved if the FBI didn't really screw up this operation? The fact that they wrapped up this story in 3 hours was also appreciated.
“To be honest, I usually don’t care at all about Christmas movies but since this one was a classic and since it was available on Disney+, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, at first, I was worried that this movie would be pretty cheesy but, slowly, I have to admit that the damned thing a” read more
