Review of an Unseen Film

 Dhurandhar is the film. In general, I wait for some reviews these days. And if there seems to be a lot of hype, I avoid the film. So I did this, and animal, and a couple of others before this.

Not defending my choice. I am Ok with all kinds of films in general, but something stops me from what I think are over-hyped. I watched a couple of them too, and was disappointed, mostly. 

Netflix or other platforms have a wide choice of content. Sometimes formulaic, but from different countries or cultures, so it's sometimes good to see how Turkish serials emphasise similar things like the Indian counterparts, though it is a bit Westernised in presentation. Or how Scandinavian serials are similar in content and presentation. Spanish and South American content is quite similar to each other in many cases. It's a World Tour, of sorts.

Surprisingly, no Iranian serials are on these platforms. Iranian movies are actually very good.

Netflix, Good and Bad

 Good

Monk- mainly, for its main actor.

Graveyard, in Turkish. A decent crime detection drama. Acting and emotions are well done.

Anna, the Detective. Russian series, with a beautiful main character. 19th Century, with period atmosphere, costumes. Still watching it..

Bad/ So so

Many American series seem forced, and stereotyped. Forget their names.

Saw the trending one, Adolescence. Only liked episode 3 with the psychoanalyst. Rest was either predictable or a drag.. particularly the last one. Fast forwarded some parts.

The Invite- Film Review

 Watch it if you are an adult. The movie is A rated. It's a funny take on marriages, and relationships.  Two couples are all that the st...

These Were Liked a Lot
