This is Us S6

 I didn't want this to end










Premise: The final chapter of the Pearson family where we follow the Big 3 and the conclusion of the greatest love story ever told 

Crying no you're crying: This season really hits hard where there are a lot of instances where they show all life flashes before our eyes. Every thread is closed and a new thread is open. That is the thing about life. There are ups and downs. There are good days and there are bad days. But we have to be there for all the days no matter how bad or how good it gets. 

I was putting this off: I didn't want to watch it knowing that is the final season but eventually I think it was time to say goodbye to them. I'm glad that everyone had their happy ending and Rebecca gets the sendoff she deserve. I really didn't want this to end 

Will I watch this again: Maybe, but probably with someone else. I don't want to watch it alone anymore. This is a really good show

Merry Little Batman

 A Christmas Batman special











What is it about?

The Good
The movie is fun to watch 
A lot of classic Batman villains

The Bad
I am not a fan of the art style that much. It looks too messy 
There are a couple of inconsistencies in the story 

The Ugly
Why is Damian wearing a Batman suit. He should be wearing a Robin suit 

After Credits: No

Verdict: A fun Christmas movie

Monk S1

I'm starting my binge before the Movie 











Premise: Adrian Monk was drop out of the force due to being scared of everything. Now he solve crimes as a consultant for the police 

How funny is this: The show is funny. Well there some moments that are just down hilarious

Best episode: Mr Monk Takes a Vacation and Mr Monk and the Airplane. Monk solves crimes outside of his normal places are usually the funny ones 

Seasaon 1: Didn't end in a cliffhanger. 12 episodes of something that is going to be the stuff of legends  

Leave the World Behind

The worse case scenario 











What is it about?
A family went on a vacation out of the city and then the internet got cut off

The Good
If you like Mr Robot and Homecoming. You will like this movie. The director style is a lot of quietness and mystery in the first hour before the mystery got revealed. 
The movie is very interesting. You will want to know what will happen next

The Bad
You don't actually know what happen due to the fact that they mostly focus on the family and not the world in general. So we can only speculate 
The ending.. left very open ended

The Ugly
Kevin Bacon's character was left under utilized 

After Credits: No

Verdict: Well I like it. If you like a mystery end of the world style movie. You should watch this.


The Fall of the House of Usher

From the works of Edgar Allen Poe 










Premise: A mysterious set of circumstances cause each member of the Usher family (turns out it was not the singer) dies every single day

How scary is it? Well there are a couple jump scare moments. But the scares are few and far between. 

Is the story good: Yes, this show is that good. It starts of slow but after episode 2 you are hooked. You want to know what happens next and what was the mystery behind it 

Verdict: If you like a good mystery horror. This show is a very good show. Must watch.

Week 5 - It was good but with a minor hiccup

Last week of January. It is just me or time really is going faster. Which is great for me since I need to settle my debts fast. 

 Jan 28

• Mama met her best friend and this time her friend brought her daughter with them. Their daughter is my age and has two kids (aged 8 and 12). We ate at a very fancy restaurant that I will have to save a months salary to eat. We had great food and I talked a lot with my new "old" friend. We laughed a lot and turns out she was a Swiftie like me too. She is going to Japan with the girls to see the concert. How lucky.

Jan 31

• My hacker friend left today. Deleted her telegram and whatsapp. I thought she finally gave up but it turns out that her phone was busted. False alarm on my part. So far all good I guess

Overall January I became broke… I do love a challenge. So here is the start of me paying back what I owed. January wasn’t a great beginning with covid so let’s hope the February will be better

Feb 1 😞

• This has not been a good week for wife. With her job issues and her constant pain. She wasn't mentally prepared. I knew that tonight when we both are asleep she will try to hurt herself. Which is true since she woke up up at 3am and I found her on the floor with her wrist all bloodied. The cuts are deep but now I am like super detach from the situation. I sympathize but I can't do anything much but just support her. That's the only thing I can do
• Wife best friend came to visit her. They were supposed to go out for lunch but due to the incident in the morning. Her friend opted to come at the house instead. She brought food so that was good. They had a good talk and I just continue on doing classes and marking her exam scripts

Feb 2

• Last day for wife's students in university so they invite her to go and have fun. She was gone from 10am till 9pm. At least she is having fun. After a day yesterday

So That Week 5 in the bag. Still not a prefect great week. But it is okay. I'll take it a day at a time.

Killers of the Flower Moon

This is a long movie. Like really long










What is it about?
This is based on the true story about the Osage Indian murders. Where the Osage tribe has become the riches people in America due to their land is build under an oil field 

The Good
The story is sad and amazing at the same time
Leo really is a versatile actor
The pacing is good

The Bad
This movie is 3 hours and 30 minutes with the end is wrapped up in a short story 
They really didn't explain what happen with the murders. Only a certain part was solve 

The Ugly
Old timely people are  very trustworthy. As you can see money does change you 

After Credits: No 

Verdict: It is more of a history movie. I enjoyed it
