Stranger Things (2016–2025)

This show is b*tchin'

[9/10 · 17 February 2020]

This show is one of the few reasons I haven't cancelled my Netflix subscription yet. They've cancelled so many of my favorite shows. Especially in recent years. Anyways, just finished season 3. Stranger Things has such a good story, likable protagonists, good villains, intriguing storylines and some sweet sweet Nostalgia. It's like Stephen Spielberg meets Stephen King.

The music is great, the tone and setting are amazing. The acting is pretty darn great. From both the kids and adults. I was legit expecting some so-so acting from the kids when I started watching but they genuinely surprised me. They're just so good. Perfectly cast. Winona Ryder is great. Love her. I'm glad this show put David Harbour in the spotlight. Such a good actor. Glad he's finally getting some recognition. The twists, turns and tension... this show nails it all.

Edge of your seat stuff. Amazing action. The effects on The monsters is pretty well done. They look pretty great. The production value is amazing. Just a wonderfully well put together show

Bumblebee (I) (2018)

I still can't believe how much I enjoyed this movie. I literally fell asleep watching the last one. Personally enjoyed this one SO MUCH. Good story, likable characters and great action. Yeah... I could actually tell what was going on during the fight sequences. I could actually tell the Transformers apart. It didn't look like, as Homest Trailers put it... "two radio shacks doing Kama Sutra in a hurricane".

I actually cared about the human characters. They weren't just yelling over each every freaking time they talked like in every freaking Michael Bsy Transformers movie! The Transformers were written like actual characters with arcs and personality instead of "generic robot" or "racially stereotypical" characters. And the characters, humans and Transformers alike had actual coherent dialogue. Instead of yelling or stuttering their lines all the freaking time.

I genuinely loved and enjoyed this movie and I'm gonna recommend it to ANYONE who hated most of the "Bay-Formers" ones!! Definitely gonna rewatch this again!! If THIS is the future of the Transformers franchise.... Then Count me in!!!! Less
