365 Days: This Day (2022)

Hot as f

[10/10 · 15 January 2024]

I didn't think anyone could compete in hotness with Michele Morrone but Simone Susinna... dear Lord in Heaven. I honestly thought those tattoos were genuine on both men. Many sweet, hot, funny and dramatic moments keeps you hooked. Loved the stand off in the end. Italian temper colliding with polish is again funny to watch. I was lucky the whole serie was out when i started watching. Waiting would have killed me. This movie was made for women so bitching about it because of that reason is unfair. This is female fantasy world where you dont even have to choose. I liked all supporting characters. I couldnt imagine it without them. Excellent selection of music in this movie serie. 365 days this day deserves full 10 stars because i have already watched it 4-5 times.

365 Days (2020)

Hot as hell

[10/10 · 15 January 2024]

This movie was made for women so bitching about it because of that reason is unfair. This is female fantasy world where you don't even have to choose. Glorious female smut. I hadn't read the books before watching the movie but i have read lots of similar books. Though never 50 shades of grey and that movie sucked big time. This movie though is full of panty melting hotness in the form Maximo and Nacho. 365 days has many funny moments and it wouldn't be so good without them. I liked all supporting characters. I couldnt imagine it without them. Excellent selection of music in this film. 365 days deserves full 10 stars because i have already watched it 4-5 times. Thanks for Olga and having polish and italian language spoken in it.

Clark (2022)

Refreshing

[9/10 · 8 February 2023]

Really liked this TV show but hated the main character. He was really obnoxious. Bill Skarsgård did great job though. I was so happy that after all that nudeness and sex Sussi turned him down. I didn't even know who clark was before watching this. I do remember Palme's murder. And it was totally random choice to watch this serie. Love the way it was made because world needs more laughs. I really like series which keep you guessing and are different. For some reason this reminded me of Russian Doll and Quentin Tarantino and Guy Richie's movies. So sorry for everyone ever been associated with this unfortunate individual.

Why Did You Kill Me? (2021)

Suprising rare jem among true crime docs

[10/10 · 13 May 2022]

I was expecting less after reading what people thought about this document and was really suprised by how i ended up loving it. It wasn't polished, it wasn't run of the mill true crime entertainment but you end up liking many odd ball characters in it and being proud of their life lessons. Refressing really. So happy this was made.

Who Killed Garrett Phillips? (2019)

Disturbing to see this lynch mob

[8/10 · 8 May 2022]

It was so bizarre to see how people just decide who is guilty instead of truly finding the culprit. Family, police, district attorney ready to convict and execute innocent in their thirst for blood. That is so very american. If this man wasn't black this wouldn't have happened. Police is right, it was the ex. They are just wrong about which ex. Watching that other ex (=sheriff btw) next to the mother of the victim, holding her hand during questioning reeks of psychopath wanting to control the situation, to point investigation to certain direction. After that every official just repeats how they know who the killer is without any objectivity, any open mindness and zero worth of evidense. Besides who knows how not to leave any evidence / plant bras? Cops!

A Wilderness of Error (2020)

Maybe i gave too many stars?

[6/10 · 2 May 2022]

I hoped Errol Morris would have the decency to admit being wrong and asking forgiveness from the family of the victims in end but he just blabbers about show business. Why make money with promoting a psychopath's innocence and giving so much credential and screen time for crazy drug addict's confessions. Anyone having crazies or drunkies in their family can sniff the crap miles away. It seems army couldn't judge Jeffrey because they were so enamored by him and mr Morris had same problem with miss Stoeckley and her summer hat. I like watching crime documentaries but simply hate watching biased ones with simply no redeeming evidence.

The Staircase (2004–2018)

Disgusting pro Michael movie, not true crime document with objectivity

[1/10 · 16 April 2022]

This was disgusting and so prolonged to watch. If there ever was a document made to white wash a murderer this was it. I had nausea by second episode watching him, his lawyer and especially one of the daughters. The rest i watched only here and there but what is clear is that Michael only cares about himself. Also i don't get american lawyers repeating how their client is innocent. How would they know? Why keep saying that on camera like repeating it would make it true. I have found this to be annoying in other true crime documentaries as well. Only exception being documents who clearly show there was no evidense against accused, mostly those in innocence program. Also lot of time is spent dissing prosecutor's "scientific evidense" and experts when based on true crime documentaries the problem of so called experts producing "scientific evidense" for money that backs the story prosecution/defence want to present to court is rampant in US trials. Anyway I was left feeling super sorry for victims. Especially the lady in Germany who got 0 justice. Despite all white wash all i was left feeling about Michael was that he is through and through psychopath.

Abducted in Plain Sight (2017)

Informational story about sick twisted pedophile

[10/10 · 13 April 2022]

I really liked this document. It gave great insight for the sick and twisted minds of pedophiles, how their wives work as enablers, how pedophiles have zero empathy towards their victims. They remind serial killers imo. I was sad to see how easy it was for this monster to cruise through his life destroying children with very little time spent behind bars. Since US is super hard on its criminals this comes as big suprise. Hopefully pedophiles would start to get 20 year punishments from get go. If you take into account the devastating effects of their crimes to the victims this would be warranted. I hope the parents are able to forgive themselves. This wouldnt happen in todays US with all knowledge of pedos. It was different more naive time. I wish all the best for mother and daughter, brave women who wrote and told this story. Hope this man's other victims come forward too. Shame has a strong hold and these sick individuals know how to choose their target. I hope more effort is put forward to protect children from pedophiles. It's weird how easily they still lure people. In schools, church, hobbies or by being uncle or grandpa.

Elite (2018–2024)

Samuel having sex and falling for the girl behind his girlfriend's murder was too much

[6/10 · 24 January 2020]

I liked this serie until Samuel had sex and fell in some kind of love with the girl behind his girlfriend's murder. And he knew it but still. I hope Samuel dies in the end of season 2 so I can think watching season 3. Otherwise I definately wont. Without that weird twist I would have given 8 stars. I also hope Polo and marchese away from ruining this serie. Too much is too much. You have to keep some limit to the crazy. Some people compared this show to gossip girl but gossip girl had a limit to crazyness and stupidity but in this show even cop's stupidity goes off the radar. It's annoying, not entertaining.

Ok, just watched finale and it saved some though I still dont understand: 1. cop's stupidity 2. Ander keeping the secret 3. Polo and marchese being total psychopaths 4. Samuel even after arrests still pining after marchese 5. Polo and marchese returning to school after arrests

The murder of Marina should have been solved in season 1 and season 2 should have It's own drama. I dont think I bother to watch season 3 because I already waited through season 2 to Marina drama to get wrapped.

There are so many other great characters in this story that I dont understand this fixation to marina, polo and marchese.

Everybody Hates Chris (2005–2009)

Loved the actors, hated season 4

[7/10 · 18 February 2019]

Loved the actors. They were almost perfect. Didn't like the last season and especially season finale but that was writers' fault. I also felt like Chris cheating a second time in exam was because someone forgot it had already been a plot in one episode. So I would have given this serie a solid 8 but because of the last season I had to drop 1 star. Between I just watched this serie for a first time.

Fallen (II) (2016)

Ended abruptly

[2/10 · 27 August 2017]

I gave this movie 2 stars just because of the castle used in filming. I understand it was a teen flick just like twilight but honestly the plot was very poor and when it ended I couldn't believe this was it. I was waiting for things to get started. Why this movie was made I will never know nor the fact who thought it was a good idea to fund it. Hopefully they at least got their money back.

Awkward. (2011–2016)

started really interesting but turned into "who am I loving & dating today" mess

[8/10 · 16 August 2016]

First season was good and I got impression that this was going to be something original & interesting. Sadly after 2nd season I started to dislike the heroine and it seemed like she was an emotional mess with questionable moral standards. Other characters stayed rather true to themselves but I didn't know where the heck the Jenna Hamilton character was going. She was all over the place and changed her mind about loving someone almost daily. A good portion of the series Jenna was twitching her face all the time while thinking her relationship with Matty. In the beginning it had seemed cute but started to annoy a lot when the supposed strong leading female character was insecure as hell. Someone should have counted how many times Jenna & Matty fell of the wagon & back to loving each other throughout the series. It was ridiculous and ruined seasons 3, 4 and 5 completely and even in the end there was not a happy ending. I was left wondering if this character goes through her life questioning everything. Never settling and never actually having a meaningful long relationship. And she was supposed to be the smart one of the group. Maybe the writers tried to create sex and the city for teens. Or maybe Jenna was what writers want to be or are. It definitely wasn't what viewers want to see & what would be smart to write. So this series goes to the bin with other "too many seasons with nothing to tell" and "cant write a decent ending even if my life depended on it". I liked, with serious intention not to, Jenna's friends Tamara, Lissa, Sadie and Jake, Valerie, Ally & Sergio most. Especially Sadie, Valerie & Ally were great characters.

Hemlock Grove (2013–2015)

Thank you writers for another bad end for a vampire series

[8/10 · 21 March 2016]

Bill Skarsgård was great in his role but writers destroyed his character in season 3. Same with Landon Liboiron's Peter. Famke was great as Olivia but even she was stuck in a character going nowhere except utopia. In these type of series many people tend to die but does everybody have to die for writers being able to end a series? What is so difficult in writing an end that is happy and sticks with the theme of that particular series. Does rich always have to find happiness in being poor and cant a bad boy vampire find a nice woman for happily ever after? Why cant Eric Northmans of this world have their Sookies and HEA? Why do writers always feel the need to ruin the series for fans? This was excellent series with some serious bad judgment even in season 1 what comes to writers & directors especially in dream shoots. Those bad ideas kept piling and the end ruined this series for me. You cant just put people in series and make characters fall head over heel in love with them and then just pluck them out like trash w no further mention. Especially when they are involved with main characters and not just the love of life of some janitor.
