This first encounter with a Korean drama created a lifetime fan. A dynamic period piece set during the late Joseon Dynasty with an amazing screenplay, costumes, cinematography, and casting. This film weaves the tale of a beautiful, complicated love affecting the lives of several well-defined characters. A masterful, absorbing film.

An epic tale of time travel. While it’s true a certain red-haired, kilt wearing man with a thick Scottish brogue piqued my interest, the drama is a fine one that covers various spans in time, and its cinematography is awe-inspiring. Well worth any Sassenach's leap through the stones to watch.

I knew it before it was a show; as a book. A story as bittersweet as a razor's cut tucked between the pages. I too took knives to my skin; cut words like "Worthless" into my flesh... I felt kinship.

Season after endless grueling season, groups of self-important, horny arrogant brats fight to stay alive in dumbass competitions for the love of money. Yes, money. They don’t really give a damn about the bachelor/bachelorette. They just want to get laid - and to win.

Since Disney+’s launch and the capitalistic acquisition of media outlets, Disney has sacrificed quality for quantity. Sure, Disney had past sloppy VHS/DVD-only releases, but their theatrical productions were still enjoyable. The most grievous examples are the Star Wars franchise (vii-ix trilogy with its director debacle) and the chaotic MCU Phase-5.

How the series, Vampire Diaries became a show, I'll never understand; I couldn't bother to finish the first book - I didn't even care to! Truly, a waste of a reader's time!

Sixty years of brilliance... For a young boy who wanted to escape, a hero without a gun or a uniform was perfect. And as a Canadian, I am filled with pride (oh, Sydney, we love you). It was our creation...heading out into the universe.

Stranger and wilder and crazier things would’ve been fine if it didn’t mean gorier things, too. I mean, I’m here for the characters, and the backstory of season four? Wow. But, dear Duffer brothers, I honestly could use less crunching and cracking and smooshing and gooshing. You’ve gone too far.

The Warriors (1979) Delves into gritty gang warfare, portraying a dangerous urban odyssey. Atmospheric visuals and a pulsating soundtrack intensify the experience, yet character depth often falters.
