If you're a film buff, this is for you
24 May 2021
At first I thought, okay another rear window.

However, I am totally WOW'd by this film. Starting with Amy Adams performance, she has really showcased her acting abilities here. This is an Oscar nomination performance.

The cast, all wonderfully selected for their role.

The directing, wow!!!! You can see influences of a lot the best films in history in here and you know it's done masterfully.

Last but not least, the story/dialogue. Don't expect a conventional movie. This is meant to be bizarre in many good ways but all done so well from beginning to end.

To the film buffs out there, you have to see this! I don't expect many others to appreciate it the same way.

Underrated. Amazing fight scenes and story
11 January 2021
As an Asian American, there is nothing that makes me proud to finally see a show like this in Hollywood. From the directing, to the acting, to the fight scenes, and story, everything about this show is amazing. Although in English, it's showcased in a clever so it's implied they are speaking in Chinese.

The characters are badass, the story is great, the set and costumes are tastefully done, and the fighting scenes really takes you back to what Bruce Lee was doing.

Emily in Paris (2020– )
6/10
Very Bad and Very Entertaining
13 October 2020
It's fun and entertaining and I watched it with all the intentions that it will be bad, which it was. Don't watch this if your are expecting enlightenment, character development, and a complex story line. It's just for fun, her outfits, the hot guys, and the shallow story, oh and the beauty of Paris.

Don't compare this with hill house!

Beautiful well told story, amazing actors and a great in depth look on each character. Beautifully filmed, I love this series, it will go down in history as classic horror! Each episode gets better and better! Bravo to a successful season 2! I applaud this masterful piece!

New perspective
22 July 2020
Genuine, and beautiful people looking for love and a future family. Each person in this show has such a positive outlook on life as they search for love.

It's definitely heartwarming to watch them and their loving family. Everyone shows a new perspective.

Tigertail (2020)
8/10
Authentic and Beautiful Story
14 April 2020
As a first generation Taiwanese American growing up in NYC, this really hits home. Alan Yang has created something beautiful and captured Taiwan and NYC in a truly authentic view. Although the film felt short and I had to really think about whether or not I was satisfied with it, I've decided it told the story just enough for you to feel full.

It's a little scary how similar the main character is with my own Taiwanese father. I don't think this is for everyone, but for anyone who wants to learn and immerse themselves in someone else's culture/ shoes, this is truly an authentic take on many generations of Chinese immigrant families who have come to America.

Well done to the cast and crew of Tigertail. Thank you for telling a story I'd never thought I'd watch on screen as a little girl. This is a story many can't relate to but deeply impactful for a few that can.

Horse Girl (I) (2020)
8/10
Watch with open mind
10 February 2020
You have to watch this with an open mind and without an assumption of what you think the main character, Sarah, is experiencing. It's weird but refreshingly different and unexpected. We should praise movies like this which tells a very different type of story. Despite how you feel of the ending, the story keeps you on your toes.

Doctor Sleep (2019)
8/10
Different. Great Story
31 October 2019
Just came back from the prescreening. This sequel went in a totally new direction but still had elements that tied it to The Shining. Starts out a little bit of everywhere and wasn't sure where it was headed but it definitely starts to pick up in a whole new direction. For a sequel to one of the best classic films, it did great. I had high expectations because of Mike Flanagan but was unsure cause it's living up to The Shining and it was better than that. I'd say watch it, it was refreshing but familiar !

Modern Love (2019–2021)
9/10
Beautiful depiction of love
20 October 2019
I've listened to the podcast and knew right away I wanted to watch this. In a way, it's like Love Actually but a million times .... better. Love comes in all forms in life and these stories are written by real people who want to express the love they've experienced, not just in a traditional sense.

Beautifully done, emotional, and there isn't many shows about "love" that I really care for. But this one is very real to me. Love in snippets, meaningful gestures, and caring about someone and showing them.

Joker (I) (2019)
10/10
Just WOW
13 October 2019
Joaquin Phoenix gives one hell of a performance as Arthur. From every movement to every line, he has carefully crafted a character who evokes empathy and uncomfortableness at the same time. I came out of the movie theater in awe of his unforgettable performance. This film has put art back into a story that is typically executed through a blockbuster film. Bravo to everyone who made this possible, you should be very proud of what you've produced. It was truly amazing!

Beautifully done
4 October 2019
Well written and beautifully done. Each character is strongly written and the story is compelling. Life, death, and whatever may fall in between. If you're looking for something different, this is it, and more!

The OA (2016–2019)

Fresh and brilliant
24 March 2019
Original, unlike any other shows. A show with multiple stories, some more captivating than others, all interlinked with one another. Characters are well written, and hard to predict what happens next. Watch with an open mind.

True horror story
18 October 2018
Truly terrifying horror story that explores something deeper than ghosts. The characters are played by amazing, talented actors. The story telling is phenomenal. The haunting of hill house digs deep into human behavior, tragedy, life, addiction, and the plain horror of dealing with every day life. Amazing! This show left me in chills for days!
