Westworld: Genre (2020)
A super smart system doesn't even have street cams?.
'The makers were on genre when they made this, only we saw the reality (this episode) and it honestly sucked.
I used to feel for characters I knew were robots in the first season.
Now I care for none of them ( Lady Terminator with a sum total of half a facial expression, the other robots,the humans) and that is how bad the show has become.
Aaron Paul isn't doing much apart from the constant constipated facial expressions.
I used to enjoy the music in the first couple of seasons..The Sweetwater theme..The Train.. everything..and what do we have now?
The makers seem to have spent much on the look and feel of the show rather than content which made Westworld what it was in the first place.
Some important characters very conveniently disappear..where is Maeve..where is Thales?
Compare the reactions of the people when they figure out what their destinies are with the moment when the robots first learn about their loop?
I expected this scene to move me..but it was ruined because of the sub-par acting by the extras and also the 'genre' bs.
There is a visible drop in the quality of content.
I'm not sticking around for long if this is what it has come down to.
AND why can't such an intelligent city and system track a group of people simply walking on the streets?
That's a technology even now..leave aside the future.
La casa de papel (2017)
A soap opera in a Dali Mask.
I'm currently hate watching season 4 of the series.
If love geometry ( literally..triangles,squares) intrigues you..this might be the show for you..in case it's a thriller you want..all the okay scenes are already in the teasers and promos..so waste your time no further.
This show doesn't have potholes..rather the plotholes have coalesced to create some semblance of a story.
However here a few glaring plotholes from season 4:
1. 5 years..the governor and chief of security
of the Bank of Spain and even the secretary remain the same..all have fixed terms.
2. Nairobi had braided hair when she was shot at the end of season 3..post her surgery ( by Drx. Tokyo of course) she now has straight hair and even some lipstick and the first thing she does after a near assassination..of course..romance with Bogota.
3.Gandia's blood falls for the first time in the library..when he was clearly leaking in the surgery room itself.
4. Even despite Arturito's repeated antics..no one can just tie him to a chair and gag him..he's left unsupervised like always.
5. Stockholm shot at cops in the first robbery..now she has issues with Denver's aggression when he is punching a guy she clearly knows is trying to manipulate Denver.
This is just for this part and episode..you can imagine how the rest of the show is like.
P.S : Showmakers..stop spoon feeding us and please cut the annoying narration of the show's worst character..Tokyo.
M Cream (2014)
This movie could have been so much better.
M cream boasts to be India's first stoner film.The film justifies this and how.Even a stone could have made a movie which was more honest and less pseudo-intellectual.
Though to a regular movie viewer some of the finer aspects of the film strike out as bold(like the farmhouse party scene where the camera just becomes a member of the party and doesn't show any of the protagonists for quite a while.)Its these little moments which make the movie bearable.
As far as the story is considered,there is practically none of it..a road trip to a mythical place is full of possibilities and character developments..but unfortunately all that we get is a hodge podge of every possible intellectual idea the makers could think of..revolution..corruption..environment èt al.
Acting wise some of the scenes are so bad that they would put a school play seem better(like the one where the police hits the protesters..one can clearly see that the sticks are not even hitting any of the actors)
A stoner movie is at least expected to have good music..except the song belle by moriarty..the rest of the soundtracks could be easily skipped)
Bottom line : Even if you get truck loads of the mythical m cream..the movie will be hard to sit through.Watch it for the beautiful hills if your hill traveling plans got canned and you have too much time to kill.
