Halo: Visegrad (2024)
This is not the Halo you're looking for.
I am no fan of the books. That is a truth and a lie meaning; I've not read them. I have, however, played every single game up until 5, because they were just effin' brilliant. Now I know it's been said a million times by people faaar more proficient with the english language than me but; what the hell are you doing?!
You have the easiest job on the planet. You have the job of translating the story of an AI with the biggest heart and a soldier, trapped in his armor to the silver screen. You have the money, you have the resources, you have the characters, you have the story. What more could you possibly want?
Nothing. That's what.
The story of Halo is a story of humanity getting one massive boot up their asses. We are f'ed and we don't even know it. It is a story of gradually realising that the universe doesn't care about our petty grievances. We stay together or we fall. The dumb drama manufactured between characters we don't know and don't care about is.. unforgivable at best.
Cortana is not even in the show, Master Chief is barely in the show. Where is Noble team? Where are the stories we care about? Where is the Covenant? Why are we doing this? What the hell are we doing?
Please, please, please for the love of all that is sacred, start telling the story of MC and Cortana, the fall of mankind, the Covenant, the Flood. You already have all the indrediants, so just do it.
Please, for all of us that are long time Halo fans; just tell the story. The story we want and the story that matters and you will have all the praise in the world.
30 Monedas: El ojo de Dios (2023)
Incoherent mess.
First season was pretty decent. Not by any stretch amazing but, a decent time pass. Now..
I can't even begin to understand what happened to the second season. It is a looong list of really dumb creative choices that really did not work out in the end. At all.
Demons, aliens, zombies, murder and mayhem all stuffed in the same bag with cheesy soap opera drama and horrible direction. I guess you could give it a go if "Ancient Aliens" meets "Days of our lives" takes your fancy.
I highly doubt we're going to see a third season based on how this turned out. And to conclude this mess, it needs a third season. That said; a third season would have to be 500 times better than this.
2 stars for effort-ish.
Little Monsters (2019)
The most annoying first 5 minutes ever put on screen.
Do you enjoy yelling? No? Too bad, because that is all that is happening in the first 5 minutes of this.. movie. Two adult human beings, SCREAMING at each other for 5 min straight.
I turned it off. 0/10 do not recommend.
Midnight Mass (2021)
A masterpiece series with a lot of heart.
This series is stuffed with atmosphere, incredibly well written dialogue, characters that feel like the best characters as written by (the) King himself, depth, emotions, looming darkness, mystery, life, death.
Flanagan has made something truly special. The actors outdid themselves. It is kind of a slow burn, at first. Equal, if not more, drama than horror but it is so well crafted that it will draw you in.
Highly recomended.
