Humans (TV) S1
Started watching Humans for Will Tudor's sake but GOD it is such a good show!! I don't usually watch or read sci-fi but this is really good!! Just finished season 1 in 2 days. I need to calm down a bit before digging into season 2.
Odi and George's storyline is the warmest and the most heartbroken. His clothing makes him look like a little child and I just want to hug him till the end of time. I adore George's characteristics as well. He is a scientist but also full of perception of humanity and emotion. Seems like a stubborn old fool but is actually very wise.
I like Leo instantly and it surprises me. As much as I like Merlin, I didn't pay much attention to the fact that Colin Morgen is in Humans before I watched it. However, Leo just stands out to me and I really like his unique way of talking and moving. His love for his family is so strong and moving. He looks so broken when he cries in contrast to the tough, spiky first impression. And when he smiles it's so bright and sweet I remember that he is the same actor as Merlin.
I love Leo and Max together. Max is such a sweet little brother. His fake synth smile is creepy, but his real smile is the sweetest thing in the world!!! I also really like it when Max tries to pray to god. it just strikes some weak spots in my heart.
Mattie is my favourite female character here. I didn't like her at first, but inside she was actually kind and passionate and doesn't afraid to act. Really admire her. I didn't expect that it would be her to bring back Mia to her family.
I quite like Detective Karen's storyline as well. She gave a different and quite logical opinion on the consciousness code matter. Her emotional journey is also striking! Her face is so expressive. And her ending is heartwarming~~ The best "back to normal"

Agatha and the Truth of Murder (2018)
Tumblr media
Watching Agatha and the Truth of Murder you’d never guess that 1) it debuted on TV and 2) was not endorsed by Agatha Christie’s estate. This works as a great companion piece to the author’s famous works or as a keep-you-guessing mystery on its own.
In 1926, crime writer Agatha Christie (Ruth Bradley) disappeared for 11 days. This film imagines she vanished in order to help solve a real-life murder. Mabel Rogers (Pippa HaywoodPippa Haywood) approaches Agatha. Her partner, Florence Nightingale Shore (Stacha Hicks), was bludgeoned on a train and later passed from the injuries. Under a pseudonym and false pretences, Agatha and Mabel lure the primary suspects to a remote location where they hope to prove the murderer was either Daphne Miller (Bebe Cave), whose nursing career would’ve been ruined by Florence, Randolph (Tim McInnerny), the cousin who inherited Florence’s money, Zaki Hanachi (Luke Pierre ), a soldier treated by Florence shortly before her death, Travis Pickford (Blake Harrison), the police’s prime suspect or Mrs. Pamela Rose (Samantha Spiro), the only person who knew where Florence was sitting.
Right away, the film endears you to Agatha. Her husband is having an affair and readers are calling her writing predictable. She’s a woman in a man’s world, and suffers from writer’s block. You want her to succeed, even more when you hear the details surrounding Florence’s murder. Solving the case might even be what she needs to reinvigorate her creativity. Unfortunately, she’s not a real detective; she merely writes about them. You have a feeling she’s got what it takes to crack this mystery but it’s going to be tough. As we’re reminded multiple time, this is not a “fictional case”. In a novel, you want to keep the audiences guessing by making the culprit the least likely suspect. In “real life”, the principle of Occam’s Razor usually applies, which means the murderer is most likely…
BAM! Crash! Gasp!
Just when you thought you had it figured out, Agatha and the Truth of Murder throws a wrench in the equation and piles suspense upon suspense. Now, we have to worry about Agatha’s true identity being revealed by Detective Inspector Dicks (Ralph Ineson) before the crime is solved. It’d be bad, but another incident tells us Agatha’s life may be in jeopardy too. It keeps the momentum going and gets you so wrapped up in this new business you no longer have the brainpower to figure out both what’s happening right now and the case we came here to see. Even if you do, we all know part of the fun of this kind of story is figuring out not only who, but how and why before seeing justice dispensed.
The eclectic array of characters to interrogate and cross off the list are enjoyable to see. Ruth Bradley is charismatic. You wouldn’t mind seeing her again in another similar movie as long as it’s as smart as this one. By subverting your expectations but also keeping in mind what we love about Agatha Christie’s stories, you get the best of both worlds. A little bit of Ralph Ineson goes a long way too.
While the story is set in the early 20th Century, many aspects of Agatha and the Truth of Murder are modern. The cast is enjoyable and the premise appealing, particularly if you're a fan of Agatha Christie. While the film may not blow your socks off, that’s its only flaw. (September 4, 2020)

The Wonder (2022, dir. Sebastián Lelio) - review by Rookie-Critic
Tumblr media
The Wonder has a lot going for it; an incredibly solid story, a cast that won't quit, and a message that is timely and troubling: where is the intersect of religion and medicine when it comes to a child? If life-saving care can be given, but the parents refuse on grounds of religion, is it ethical to allow the child to die instead of saving them? Where is the line drawn between these two often-opposing forces? The Wonder asks all these questions and, in my opinion, delivers its answers on them pretty definitively by its end. For me, and I feel that Lelio conveys this, you absolutely save the child if possible. It's not a very tricky question at all from any angle. I've read articles about the film that seem to think it presents its central question as a moral quandary, that it attempts to read both sides, but I'm not sure how those people came to that conclusion. There are only a couple scenes that even remotely hint at this, and I'm not sure that's how I read them, and if it was attempting to present both sides, I'm not sure that it succeeded.
I think the strangest part of the film has to be its framing device. The film starts on a set. A modern-day, studio lot movie set, and a voice (that of actress Niamh Algar, who plays one of the characters in the film), tells us that this is a movie. She then says that the characters in the film believe their stories fully, and then invites us to do the same. The camera then pans into one of the set pieces in the room where we have actors (including Florence Pugh) and lighting and finally the camera clicks into place, completely cutting out the surrounding room so that we only see the set "in frame." From this point the film plays out like a normal drama (outside of another fourth wall break at the halfway point) until the very end, when we cut back out the film set. From what I can tell, it was meant as a way to kind of nod to the fact that the subject matter in the film has a lot of bearing on modern day events, but honestly I didn't need any of that, at all. I don't need you to keep winking at the camera, nudging the audience and saying "Right? Right? Look how timely our period piece is! Isn't it so upsetting that this is still a problem in the MODERN DAY?!" It's honestly exhausting, immersion breaking, distracting, and frankly it feels like its treating the audience like children. It almost feels like Lelio didn't have faith enough, either in his own script or the audience, to convey or understand what the film was getting at without having to spoon feed it to us with a really contrived framing device. Thankfully the film only commits to this sparingly, and it's easy enough to just look past it.
Ultimately the film's greatest strength, as she is with almost everything she's in, is Florence Pugh, who comes at this story with so much thought and empathy for the other characters in the film that you'd be awestruck by it if this wasn't what she literally does every time she acts. I was also very impressed with Kíla Lord Cassidy, the newcomer who plays the "miracle fasting girl" at the film's center. She plays off Pugh wonderfully and has cemented her place in my mind as a name to watch out for. I really did like The Wonder, it's a well-crafted, well-acted, well-meaning film that just gets a little bogged down in a few pitfalls that keep it from being really great, for me, at least. Check this one out of you've got the time.
Score: 7/10
Currently streaming on Netflix.

If anyone is looking to start on Big Finish - and the Eighth Doctor in particular - There is a St. Patrick's Day sale on and you can get the entire Dark Eyes series for under 40€ 😱😱
No prior listening required, it's a really good jumping on point. It's high concept scifi with Time Lords, Daleks and the Master (Alex Macqueen makes a brilliant Master!). Molly O'Sullivan is a fun companion with strong opinions, and it's the beginning of Liv Chenka's journey with the Eighth Doctor, his longest running companion!
Really, there is no excuse not to!

El Prodigio | República Cinéfila
El Prodigio | República Cinéfila
Esta película del director Sebastián Lelio es una de las mejores producciones cinematográficas de este año 2022 que mantendrá una atmósfera de represión y de misterio, al alcanzar la suficiente intensidad como para despejarse de los parámetros de la corrección en esta actual era de las películas pensadas y concebidas para plataformas. El Prodigio cumple con las reglas de manual con una estética…
