1917.......................(8.5/10) watched in Ultra HD, a nice war film based on World War I about a British soldier who has to deliver an important message on the frontlines. The whole film looked like it was shot non stop so hats off for the cinematography.

Midway.....................(8.5/10) watched in Ultra HD, another nice war film based on World War II about a pilot who takes part in the campaign to neutralize the Japanese navy after their attack on Pearl Harbor. Some battle scenes were beautifully captured!

Watched Parasite. I must say this movie is definitely overrated. People were going crazy over it winning so many oscars. I dont get it honestly. Not saying its a bad movie, its just okay. Its really good for a foreign film, but thats it.

Frozen 2...........................(6/10) watched in HD, once again Elsa being that typical obnoxious Abuses will lead to ban and causing havoc in the world and poor Anna had to save the day! This sequel was quite boring IMO!

Trolls 2..........................(7/10) watched in HD, well TBH after 4 years this sequel felt quite unnecessary as I hardly remember the first part. The songs also were just ok, first part had better songs! Meh!

Star Wars Episode 9: The Rise of Skywalker.......................(8/10) watched in Ultra HD, finally after 9 parts the Skywalker saga concludes! Overall it was nice but not as good as the conclusion I was hoping for! A sad ending though!

Jumanji 3: The Next Level...........................(8/10) watched in Ultra HD, a bit of an improvement over the 2nd part! Extra point for Karen Gillan's hotness! But the first part will always remain my favorite! Too much nostalgia there for me!

ordinary love: 7/10
this was actually quite a good movie. starring liam neeson and lesley manville and she kinda gave hellen mirren kinda vibes at first to me haha anyways good drama and how life goes

vivarium: 6.5/10
ok this one was good at first but kinda boring and when they don't actually give origins properly etc that pisses me off. i see what happened and how they showed the ending in the start but ehh but some stuff in it was creepy and funny

my spy: 5.5/10
man this was ok at best. bautista taking his shot to be the next rock. not gonna happen but he alright

fantasy island: 6.5/10
the concept etc was good. the way the movie throws you off by blatently lying to your face was upsetting but a new thing haha. i haven't seen the series that this was based on etc but i think this is a prequel to the series as the end guys name reveal could be something to someone who has seen the show maybe

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.
