The Queens Gambit

I have been on a long hiatus, all thanks to COVID. After several months of FLAT entertainment, I have recently come across a few worthy to review about. New to NETFLIX is a show called THE QUEENS GAMBIT, new limited series.

THE QUEENS GAMBIT – The show is about a young orphaned girl, who develops an addiction to chess. Beth Harmon, quiet and bad tempered becomes obsessed with chess after secretly playing her first game with the janitor at the orphanage. As time passes Beth starts competing and her senses grow sharper, her thinking clearer, and for the first time she feels in control. But it isn’t easy for her, there is ALOT more to her story. So I will end my review here and hope you check it out your self and see what I mean. After a long time, I have seen a good show, that has a good story, great acting, its dramatic, dark humor and overall worth a watch. Only draw back is that HAIR of her’s, so awful, makes her look a bit creepy. Im glad its gets better later in the show but I guess thats her character LOL….

2ThumbsUP gives this show a 4/5

Who said WOMEN can’t play chess……

MONEY HEIST

This show has been on my watchlist for the longest time, and I finally got a chance to start watching it. All thanks to this QUARANTINE, I’am almost done with my pending shows lol. Check it out now on Netflix (please note this show is dubbed in english.)

THE GREATEST HEIST

MONEY HEIST – A criminal mastermind goes by PROFESSOR, plans the biggest HEIST with a group of people, each one is unique. Together they take over the ROYAL MINT of SPAIN. This is where I stop, don’t want to give all of it away. It is filled with twists, dramatic, and keeps the viewer connected. 2ThumbsUP review pending, until completed.

 

The Twlight Zone

Don’t let the current situation ruin your entertainment, you can still ENJOY during this SOCIAL DISTANCE lockdown (the hardest thing to do in today’s world.) You can atleast watch movies and shows (thank god to the internet and TV the greatest inventions ever.) Now, who remembers the classic The Twilight Zone?? Well today, my brother asks me to watch it and I was like the “OLD ONE?” Being a big movie and show buff, I totally forgot. Last year, the new version was released on CBS hosted by our very own Jordan Peele. FYI, I will be posting more suggestions, and do my small part to keep you entertained 🙂

The Twilight Zone – each episode is different and shares stories of science fiction and fantasy.  Exploring humanity’s hopes, despairs, prides and prejudices in metaphoric ways. I can’t say much about it yet, as I have only watched 1 episode. So far, it did not disappoint, so let’s see what happens. 2ThumbsUP review pending.

THANK YOU

Just when I thought 2020 (start to a new decade) would bring great things. I never imagined, we would be in a situation where the whole WORLD is FIGHTING for SURVIVAL. This is honestly a REAL movie scene situation, where we are actually dealing with a VIRUS (what we see in movies) (COVID-19) that has created HAVOC for everyone. It has sickened and taken many lives. Everyone do what you can, and take part. Don’t let this COVID-19 bring us to an end. 2ThumbsUP, would like take this moment and THANK all our DOCTORS, ARMED FORCES, SCIENTISTS and all other healthcare providers. You are the TRUE HEROES for everyone right now. A small request, if you can spare 1 minute of your time, for silence and remember the ones we have lost.

OUR HEROES

JOKER

Ok Guys, so just watched this movie last night and I must say JOAQUIN PHOENIX, wins my respect for playing this role. Up until now, I did not think ANYONE can beat HEATH LEDGER‘s performance, but I was wrong. Our newest JOKER, in my eyes was as GOOD as HEATH in The Dark Night. So please don’t hold back and go watch it, so you know what I mean.

AMAZING

JOKER – JOAQUIN PHOENIX, was pure BRILLIANCE in this movie. His performance, brought the movie to LIFE. A story about a man, who just wants to entertain everyone as a clown but certain circumstances make him divert and go sadistic. The situations around him and being picked on, force his DARK SIDE to come out. I don’t want to give you too much information, so this is where I stop. Overall the movie was AMAZING, his performance was Par-Excellence. Yes this movie is DARK, but it’s ALL part of entertainment and performance. So don’t be judgemental LOL and just go watch it!! 2ThumbsUP gives this movie 5/5.

THE ACT

What if you found out, someone you have been helping financially or emotionally has been LYING to you all these years. Using the SICKNESS card and getting everything for FREE. To top it of, using a CHILD for the sickness. Yes guys this is ACTUALLY true and its sickening. Hulu original THE ACT based on true events.

DEE DEE the LIAR

THE ACT – Congrats to Dee Dee (Patricia Arquette)  for her Supporting Actress Emmy. Brilliant performance by her and well deserved award. As super obsessed mother of a teen, who claims that her daughter Gypsy Rose (Joey King) is really SICK and uses her to live for FREE. The thought of using your CHILD to make a living is just CRAZY. I don’t want to share much about this, because it’s something you have to see yourself to understand what I mean. Great performances, brilliant story, emotional, dramatic overall a awesome show. 2ThumbsUP gives this show a 5/5.

TALL GIRL

Has there been a time in your life, when you were judged by how you LOOKED or ACTED? How did you deal with and how did it affect you? Check out now on NETFLIX – TALL GIRL.

 

Why Me?

TALL GIRL – A high school girl Jodi, doesn’t have an easy high school life. She is slightly TALLER then normal and therefore is judged by everyone. Along comes a HANDSOME exchange student Stig, who she FALLS for and tries to fight her insecurities and hope’s he notices her. Little did Jodi know, Stig is kind of a D*** himself. Jodi struggles to fight for being normal like everyone else, while trying to impress Stig. Oh the struggle is REAL in Jodi’s life. Descent story, a life lesson about never give up on yourself, comedy, and ofcourse a chick flick. 2ThumbsUP gives this movie a 3/5.

 

THE BOYS

Superhero – what does it actually mean? care to explain in your own words, and not use what our dictionary states LOL. When you think of superheroes, you automatically think of someone GOOD who ends up saving the world. Well this new show on Prime Video.

The NEW heroes 

THE BOYS – is of course about superheroes but with a twist. The review is still pending from 2ThumbsUP, so don’t forget to check back soon for that. So far, it looks very promising, intense graphic scenes (maybe me sensitive for you WEEKLINGS who can’t handle blood and gore!) Let’s see what happens, until next time.

BIG LITTLE LIES

How many of you remember Pretty Little Liars? You know the show where 5 best friends, commit a CRIME and then start covering up about it. The whole SHOW ends up in being nothing but lies! Well there is a show based on the same concept but with an AMAZING cast as well. Check out BIG LITTLE LIES  2 seasons, on HBO.

SHHHH

BIG LITTLE LIES – The Monterey 5, I won’t tell you what this means LOL.. As I mentioned before, this show is somewhat similar to Pretty Little Liars, but much better and interesting. The amazing cast Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Shailene Woodley, Zoe Kravitz, Laura Dern, oh can’t forget the great Meryl Streep (season two.) The rich and snotty Monterey ladies, enjoying their LAVISH lives. Until something happens, and their world is turned upside down. Now now,  I’m not gonna be that nice and give you some SPOILERS, you will just have to find out your self. The show is full of drama, romance, emotions and of course the LIES! Overall, a great watch, love the soundtrack and 2ThumbsUP gives this show a 4/5.

THE LION KING

Took a small break from blogging, but back at it again. Thought this would be the best one to start with, I know it’s a little late on the review but still. It’s very difficult to compare ANIMATION with REAL life. As many of the viewers complained, the new version of THE LION KING failed to emote the same emotions as the animation for many. But common guys, the movie was still TRUE to the original, majority of the voices were perfect fit to the characters and the songs. Hakuna Matata, what a wonderful phrase, listening to this again brought back memories for sure. Sorry there is no synopsis for this movie, because it’s a CLASSIC that EVERYONE must have seen, at least that’s the assumption HAHA.  2ThumbsUP gives this movie 4.5/5.
