Freddy at its best!
16 January 2021
Let's be real, this is the best A Nightmare movie of them all, I'd dare to say it is even better than the original. This movie has Freddy Krueger at its best, he's still meanacing but also sarcastic at the same time. It also has the strongest characters, acting and special effects in the entir franchise. Also Dokken rocks! The only reason why this is rated lower than the original, it's because it is the third movie in a slasher franchise, but this movie is not your typical slasher and sequel and should definitely be regarded as a classic, alongside the original

Seinfeld (1989–1998)
10/10
Still the greatest sitcom of all time after all these years
16 January 2021
Seinfeld is arguably the most iconic modern sitcom ever. After all these years, no sitcom can still match the geniality behind this show. Without Seinfeld, there would be no Friends, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia or The Office. Seinfeld paved the way for modern sitcoms, and it actually predicted the death of the laugh track.

The first time I started watching Seinfeld, I was 13. As someone from Brazil who grew up watching cable, I was exposed to American sitcoms since very early. Before watching Seinfeld, Friends was my favorite show at the time. I thought it was the greatest sitcom of all time and that nothing could top it. Guess what? I was dead wrong!

I started to caught Seinfeld reruns on the Sony Channel, I had heard a lot of great things about this show on the internet, whenever I googled Friends, Seinfeld would get recommend on my title suggestions. The first thing I noticed when watching Seinfeld, was how different it was from your average American sitcom. Whereas a lot of jokes from sitcoms like Friends and TBBT are just punchlines, Seinfeld actually had an intelligent dialogue and it was more "dynamic" than other sitcoms. I don't know exactly how to put it into words, but have you ever noticed how your average sitcom tends to be rather slow paced? Well, Seinfeld is very fast paced and a lot of things happen in a single episode, this was definitely not something I was expecting from a traditional American sitcom.

In my humble opinion, Seinfeld differentiates itself from other laugh track sitcoms. as it doesn't feel like the show was supposed to have a laugh track. I think Seinfeld predicted how the laugh track format would become a thing of the past. Whenever watching single camera sitcoms like The Office, Arrested Development or It's Always sunny in Philadelphia, you can totally tell the influence Seinfeld has had on these shows. There's a very popular sitcom here in Brazil, called "A Grande Família", arguably the most famous Brazilian show ever, and you can tell how the writers of the show were clearly influenced by Seinfeld. Seinfeld's influence is global and think this show will never age!
