I watched it a bunch of times, I really love love the main characters, chemistry, passion, their love story, everything is point on. Will and Ximena are great in this. Estercita is a bit annoying as a character. The theme song runs over and over in the telenovela, but I never get tired of it, a beautiful song. Flashbacks a bit too repetitive, but otherwise, to me its a perfect telenovela and a classic such as Kassandra, Sortilegio, and Marimar. I will continue to watch it periodically, because I love it. Would recommend to anyone who likes telenovelas to watch this, because its such a beautiful love story. I wish they make other telenovelas like this.

El amor invencible

Good but could be better
9 May 2023
Warning: Spoilers
As a fan of telenovelas and of few of Angelique Boyer's telenovelas, I decided to give this one a go and I can say its ok, nothing special, entertaining at times, sometimes a bit boring, could be alot better in terms of acting. I'm still waiting for love story between Gael and Leona to develop. What bothers me most is the lack of romantic scenes between main characters Gael and Leona, so far as capitulo 55. Too many love scenes with Columba and Ramses. And the fact that after just one kiss, Gael is head over heals for Leona and decides to marry her, it's not at all believablehow fast he just fell in love. The show is concentrated mostly about criminal matters of Ramses ( woman trafficking) and its accolites and a few other themes such as cancer, lgbtq, teenager love and addictions, but very few dispersed through secondary characters. I would have liked more that main characters have more romantic interaction/ passion and seemed more believable, nevertheless, I will continue watching to see if it gets better and for the entertainment it provides, but I might stop if it doesn't pick up in the next few chapters.
Luckiest Girl Alive

Dissapointing and bad storytelling
22 January 2023
I thought it was long movie and first half extremely boring. I love Mila Kunis, but this movie was a total dissapointment for me, I couldn't connect to her at all, feel her anger for what was done to her. I believe its the way the story was told, weird pace of the story, I think a chronological story would have been better, boyfriend character is useless in the story, totally hateful character and could have had way fewer scenes. The last 30 min its where it all happens, all the main story is unravelled. It could have been more believable if it focused on main characters feelings, and struggles throughout her life due to this trauma and have the viewers connect better with her, instead of using a narrator. Its not thriller, its a drama and could have been a tear jerker, if the story was better told and characters fully developped.
Siren
(2018–2020)
Ok bit got boring
5 June 2022
I was intrigued at first, I watched first 7 episodes, then after a few episodes it gets boring and more and more ridiculous. There are things I didn't like about the show. 1. why does main character (siren) have to have a russian accent? I understand she s learning the language, but why have an accent? Also, when shes communicating with her sister why is it in english? They do have scorching screams, and hissing which they use when they attack or are attacked, I'm guessing that's their language. 2- how come the sister is of another race? I understand the need for a diversified cast, but come on. 3- why bring bisexuality into this? Were getting all these bisexual vibes, I'm not sure it is logical. If she is a siren who just came out of water, I'm sure exploring her sexuality with 2 humans would be the last thing on her mind. She would use it to manipulate humans into doing something, but she already has her singing, which hypnotises them, so no need to get sexual.
Interesting concept at first which quickly loses its charm and derails into a boring syfy show for horny teens.

Uncharted

Ok but could be better
15 May 2022
As a fan of the games, I was really excited about the movie, however, I was not impressed, even with perfectly chosen actors Tom and Mark, still felt something was missing. The chemistry between the 2 is not there and not particularly funny. Lady who plays Braddock ( lady goon) is really bad, not believable. Fell asleep at some point in the middle, action picked up towards the end, but at some point stopped caring. Characters too poorly developed and story too. Too cookie cutter, not genuine, felt forced. Will be replaying games tho. I hope next movies will be better.

Terrible
30 April 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I liked the first one, it had something to it, far from saying its good, but it was entertaining. Second movie is a big mess and dissapointment. Story doesn't make sense, cliffhanger at end of first movie is not even acted out and barely explained. There are way too many sex scenes without any point or, passion, it almost becomes a porn movie at that point. By the end of it, I felt nothing, such a big love for Massimo she had, at first opportunity she sleeps with another guy. The evil twin is predictable and how the story unfolds is very bad. If they make a third one, I might not watch it, guessing they would just skip the part where she was shot dead in the chest and she will be alive and well. I thought they really had an opportunity in beg. Of 2nd movie to show their love, I guess they never moved on the lust phase, characters could use further development too.
The Batman
(2022)
Terrible Batman
24 April 2022
Horrible choice of Batman, RP is not one of my favorite actors, I find his acting is always dull in the movies I've seen him in, this is no different. He looks like a Batman debutant, he even falls and trips in one scenes where he jumps off a building. He doesn't know how to land. As Bruce he looks emo, thin and on the verge of depression, as somebody, who has not left their basement in months, nothing to do with Batman's DC character. Nothing to do with Christian Balés Batman. Even his car is weird, looks like a car from the 80s. Technology and picture in the movie is almost 80s quality. Penguin character played by CF is useless and unrecognizable, anybody could have been in the role and would have done an equally as good job, barely had with 2 lines in the whole movie and same can be said about supporting characters. Catwoman not best either, totally unmemorable performance and chemistry between actors. Story predictable slow pace and unintelligent. Big dissapointment.

Bad Hercule Poirot
18 April 2022
Hercule Poirot actor is bad, nothing to do with David Souchet, lacks charsima and humour of Poirot, dull acting, horrible moustache and accent. Other characters are good, story is boring, first hour nothing happens and didn't get the intro scene, feels cheap. I wished they would have selected a better Poirot, such as Souchet.
The Sand Dune

Could have been something
10 April 2022
Story reminds alot of notebook, main actor who plays Jake has potential, if a better actress was chosen would have been much better, that aside, movie is extremely cheap in all the ways possible, actors lack chemistry big time. Set, location, supporting actors are horrible.
Deep Water
(I) (2022)
Very messy and poorly thought
19 March 2022
Warning: Spoilers
This movie is messy. Main actors have very little chemistry, dunno if movie was made before or after their breakup. The main characters were very shallow, surface, why is she so sad and cheating with everything that walks. Too many lovers, she's moving from one to the next, and little to no character development in the movie. The first part of the movie before the unfolding of the story is painfully slow, the unfolding is predictable and stupid. The characters seem to hate each other, he seems to lust after his wife, she only manipulates him briefly then she pushes him away, no love whatsoever is felt. It is clear she really hates him, but it is never revealed why and how this bizarre and toxic relationship works is beyond me and unrealistic. The only plausible exp why they stay is that he is a serial killer that gets off to killing her lovers and she knows and protects him because she loves him, but not believable. His kills are very sloppy and careless, then he would be just an extremely jealous husband, his killings are spontaneous and poorly planned, his MO is never the same. Police are extremely bad, a guy that sloppy would have been caught right away. Many elements in the movie: snails where not addressed. Would have been a better story is the characters where developped properly, script seems rushed and poorly thought through, a waste of money and talent.
Through My Window

Too similar to After and 3MSC
5 February 2022
Very similar to teen movies After, and 3MSC, without the great actors. Ok I guess, to pass the time, but nothing special. I didn't particulary enjoy it, not enough happens in the story and too many scenes of sex. Didn't feel the chemistry between the characters.
Sex/Life

Loved this erotic show
23 October 2021
Contrary to many negative reviews, I think this show was great. The negative reviewers probably expect Oscar material, which its not, but I loved this erotic show and the chemistry between the main actors, it was both entertaining and addictive. We don't get much of these types of shows these days. The ending of season one was a bit iffy, but I will definetly love to watch a season 2 of this show.
Squid Game
(2021– )
Great show, terrible ending
18 October 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I enjoyed the show up until the ending, I knew the premise of it before beginning it, its a hunger games and survival show. I wanted to know the why of it, it's the reason I decided to watch. I found it a bit violent, but it had great visuals, very colorful and actors where not bad either, I actually empathized with main characters and enjoyed the side stories. However, the ending was terrible, I was expecting much much more, on the investigative side the detective does very little and I was dissapointed that he actually gets killed without mercy and further by the front man, who is his brother, and his side of the story is never told. I agree that would make a good second season material, however, the last scenes where the old man reveals he created the game with his buddies for entertainement purposes, and to relieve boredom with no further purpose, is killing all the mystery and there would absolutely be nothing new for the second season in terms of mystery, just need for revenge. The old man, instead of using his money to do good, he created and apparently participated in children's games, where he bets with his rich buddies and kills the poor men and women who are indebted and obviously need help. Rich people killing poor people just for entertainment, I find it disgusting and without substance. Overrated show and terrible ending. That ending spoiled the second season for me.
Predictable not believable and boring
1 August 2021
Warning: Spoilers
It has a few elements from successful romantic movies like the Notebook, but fails short due to poor acting, the way the story is told, I felt no emotion for the main actors who were separated for a long time, didn't understand why they fell in love to begin with and did not feel the passing of the time. Main actor not the best. Overall, after watching the movie I was the same as I left, I really felt 0 emotional connection/ empathy for main actors, while at Notebook, I cried so much.
Sky Rojo

Great show but too short
26 July 2021
I watched each one of the seasons in 1 day. Its very good, action packed and funny at times. I love all the actors in it, especially Miguel Angel, which is the main reason I watched it. I don't necessarly like lenghty shows, but it was really short. Although I knew beforehand the show was about strippers and there was violence Tarantino style, I still found there was alot, and some exagerations here and there, but I liked it overall and will watch season 3 if there is one.
Sortilegio

La mejor telenovela de William Levy
15 July 2021
This telenovela was the best I have seen of Levy, so much passion, love and chemistry beetween the main actors. Love love love it. All the actors are good in it. The story is never boring, always kept me on my toes and is very addictive. Would definetly recommend and rewatch again.
Café con aroma de mujer
(2021– )
Ok novela but not great
30 June 2021
I loved the beginning of this telenovela, the mood of the cafetales was great and I was really happy with Levy's return. After finishing it, however, I think that something was going in behind the set between the 2 main protagonists, I think they were not getting along, as there were alot of episodes in this novela, where they don't have any interactions, this is not normal for a telenovela. The main love story is almost forgotten. The mother of Sebastian and Ivan is the most dumb annoying racist and homophobic character I've ever seen. The love scenes lacked passion and were cut very short in my opinion and with comparison with other telenovelas of William Levy Tempestad and Sortilegio, big dissapointment there. The main theme song sang by Gaviota is very repetitive, as well as for the few other songs. I felt the pace was bad, the ending felt very rushed, however, in the middle of the novela, barely anything happened for entire episodes at the time.

A load of Conspiracy theories and false information
17 April 2021
I was sceptical right from the beginning about this, I didn't make it past 30 min of this with a lot of fast forwarding. This documentary is a joke and is filled with conspiracy theories, they are going on many non-related tangents and giving a lot of unrelated and false information. I learned absolutely nothing, I just got angry that this load of junk is out there and I can't believe people rate this 10/10. See John Oliver's segment about coronavirus conspiracy theories you will be much better off and have a good laugh.
The Occupant

Why he doesn't look for a job
25 June 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Instead of damaging and causing harm to somebody else and their family. 6 months probation and no pay, never heard of such a contract of employment for somebody who had so much experience and success. Stupid! Looked at the movie because it had good actors.
Bates Motel
(2013–2017)
Great show
19 March 2020
Warning: Spoilers
It is a great show, watched it from beginning to end, everything about it is great, pace, characters, story, setting. However, I would have liked an open-ended ending, especially since its a prelude to the movie, although Norman definetly doesn't deserve to live given all that he did, it would have left place for more seasons, which I would have enjoyed. Great show overall, recommend for bingewatch on Amazon prime 🙂
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days

Great movie
8 February 2020
I rewatch this movie once in a while, I absolutely love it, it is a light comedy chick flick, I love the actors and their chemistry, I absolutely love Kate's yellow dress, probably guys rate it low and hate it, it didn't win an Oscar, not a movie with a lot of substance, but it's a very enjoyable funny movie to watch to lift your spirits.

Ok show, not great
3 February 2020
Warning: Spoilers
The show has some beautiful landscapes, luxurious homes and main characters have great fashion taste. Some small intrigues here and there, nothing too special. At times it fails to grab my attention, watched season 1, the only likeable character was Georgina, but remained surprised and disappointed when she killed someone at the end of season 1, I saw absolutely no reason to kill him, I didn't feel her rage or desire to take revenge, probably because it was poorly acted out I guess, I did however know she wanted a confession from him, however I think she went too far. Plus, she was probably the only sane/ likeable one in the show, don't know if i'll continue watching season 2 or finish it knowing that the only likeable character is now a murderer and probably murdered before. I liked her more as an innocent woman trying to seek justice. I don't like the murderer angle, it doesn't suit her, makes her less likeable now. I feel like I'm not interested enough or intrigued enough, the characters are a bit bland, and the acting so so.
