Mindhunter Season 1 Review

So a few days ago I finished watching season 1 of the new Netflix show Mindhunter. I have to say that this show is pretty freaking good.
The show takes place in the late 70's following two FBI agents that are trying to figure out the psychology of Serial Killers, by interviewing them.
The two main characters agent Holden Ford (Johnathan Groff) and agent Bill Tench (Holt McCallany)  are very interesting characters and they work really well off of each other. Holden is the more optimistic character and Bill is a bit more pessimistic, but they play off of each well enough to compliment their work.
The camera work is really well done in this series. The color scheme is fitting for the overall tone of the show, and it is very effective. The music is on the weaker side a bit, and this is something they should work on going forward, however I'm not saying that it's bad, it just needs a little more work to be done on it.
Many of the secondary characters are very interesting, even when some of their screen time is limited, it still works well for the overall story arc. I wouldn't say that there are many static characters in this series. Nothing feels unnatural when they are interacting, the conversations that they have feel raw enough and are very eerie, and I applaud the actors for their good work.
I believe that there will be a season 2 for this show, I am not entirely sure if this has been conformed or not, but I hope that they do make a second season, because this show is worth having another one, if not many.
Overall this is a very good show to watch and I highly recommend seeing it. I should give a small warning that this show talks about (and somewhat shows) some mature things and is not really suitable for everyone, but basically if you can watch Silence of the Lambs you should be fine enough to watch this series.


final score: 4.5/5

Uncharted Movie Review

Uncharted Movie Review Not As Good As The Games I went and saw the movie Uncharted a while ago, and it was as I expected it to be. If you are a fan of the games, well... prepare for disappointment. Uncharted follows Nathan Drake (Tom Holland), a low level thief as he is recruited by Victor Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to go on a treasure hunt. As someone who has played some of the games, but not all, I have to say that the Uncharted film is what I thought it would be. A mishmash of all four games but not committing to any of them. The acting is a bit stale, and the plot is predictable. The camera work was fine, but the music was underused. Tom Holland should not have been Nathan Drake. He lacks the charisma, the attitude, and the charm. He may have passed for a teenage Nathan Drake, but he should have only been in a few scenes. I'm not the biggest fan of Tom Holland either long time readers may know. Now, onto Mark Wahlberg as Victor Sullivan. Mark Wahlberg is way too young to be playi...

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review This Was My Dad's Idea Well... I went and saw Dora and the Lost City of Gold today with my dad, and... the film was a lot funnier than it has any right to be. Dora and the Lost City of Gold is a live action adaptation of the Dora tv show on Nickelodeon. Dora, now a teenager, is sent to the City to live with her cousin, Diego, while her parents go exploring for a lost City. When her parents go missing, Dora and her new friends go and search for her parents. I can't believe I'm going to say this, but the movie wasn't half bad. There is a ton of tongue and cheek humor. There is some cringe to the Dora and the Lost City of Gold too, but remember, this is a movie made for kids. As a kids film, it does a fine job. The acting was fine, and for a kids film, everyone did alright. Isabela Moner, who played Dora, did a good job portraying the character from what I remember about the show when I was very young. What surprised...

Penny Dreadful City Of Angels Season 1 Episode 1 Review

Penny Dreadful City Of Angels Season 1 Episode 1 Review  Had To Think About This One A Bit If you haven't noticed, I'm a fan of Penny Dreadful . I did address my early thoughts on the new series a little while ago , and now that it's out, I thought I would give my thoughts on the first episode. For the description I'm going to quote IMDB , " Los Angeles, 1938. LAPD detective Tiago Vega and his partner, Lewis Michener, investigate a murder. While at City Hall, Tiago's activist brother Raul Vega battles with the fiery Councilman Charlton Townsend over the construction of California's first freeway. Meanwhile, Peter Craft, the head of the German-American Bun, meets Elsa, the mysterious mother of one of his patients. Sensing danger, Tiago's mother Maria pleads with Santa Muerte to protect her family as the rising tensions in the city threaten to explode." From what I've seen from other reviewers has been very mixed. And here's my two...
