Happiness and Misadventures

How I Spent (Wasted?) My Time

This is a hand-made list of the media I consumed, in chronological order, based on memo’s template.

So boring that I don’t want to bother finding a strange rating. I liked Julia Garner, but not as much as in Inventing Anna.

Interesting idea, but the third act feels just… weird. It’s a shame, the first ten minutes had so much potential. Maybe it’s my fault, but I didn't understand the bad guy's reasons. 🤔

I heard about this movie from a grumpy podcaster (Lorro, I love you) and I couldn’t agree more: this a well-studied psychological thriller.

A nice horror! Maybe a little bit of Korean background knowledge is required, but finally some fresh air!

Unexpectedly good! Three very good main actors and a couple of scenes with shivers! A bit disappointed by the final scenes, but overall this was very fun. Great Nic Cage!

Finally I caught up this classic. I liked it because of the atmosphere, and I appreciated its cuts… but the end is quite disappointing. Mysterious, but it lacks something. I normally appreciate the lack of jumpscares, but… I expected them!

After about a week, I’m enjoying it! …And finally stopped using the bow as main weapon.

Lots of fighting scenes and cameos. I got what I expected.

Touching, delicate and graphically delightful. I need to read the graphic novel, which is on my list from too much time.

One of those films you are glad to watch, but you refuse to believe. A sad story, beautifully narrated. Great performances!

I just noticed that this record came out almost thirty-three years ago, and last weekend I put it on a few times. It is just immortal. Maybe the easiest(?) of the band, excluding the last two songs (the drum machine in Pearl Bomb is the worst idea ever). If you like rock in general, you should listen to this record at least once or twice. It is powerful.

Funny, but with a strange rhythm — almost everything happens in the second half. Good sequel, even if sadly Monica Bellucci always dubs herself in Italian.

RIP Bob 💔

Not bad, I quite enjoyed it. Maybe better than Shyamalan’s latest works as director. Overall, I liked it except the weird shots during the dialogues. Whyyyy?

My expectations were too high. I loved The Three-Body Problem, and here I found again some very interesting ideas, such as the Wallfacers and the Wallbreakers. Anyway, there are two main flaws: the lack of rhythm (which affected the prequel too) and of a real story. We always have the feeling that something is going to happen… but it never does.

I didn’t remember if I had watched the whole movie in the past, and I was inspired by a podcast to give it another chance. The reviewer said this film was almost perfect. Well, it’s not my genre, but it’s damn fun.

I loved the first A Quiet Place, and I liked the second one. I was curious by the prequel idea, and I was not disappointed. A few scenes were maybe too much to be convincing, but overall it is a good movie. Maybe the main characters are a bit slow to grow fond with.

I loved the first two seasons, and this one keeps very high standards along with the usual, amazing soundtrack, but… There are just too many unanswered questions! All the episodes are very entertaining, BUT… 'TO BE CONTINUED' at the end should be banned from any media.

Loved the style and the story. For the first time in my life, I think, I wanted to punch a dog. At least there was a happy ending.

Very cool story, 8-10 years ahead of recent times. Amazing performances and settings, loved them. Browsing IMDb, I discovered that the director was also Sunshine’s writer. No wonder!

A delightful Ben Kinglsey. Probably one of the best performances by an alien.

Interesting plot twist (if you haven’t seen the trailer), but once the action kicks in, it gets quite predictable. Slight spoilers below. {The explosions of the vampires are the coolest part!}

Meh². I liked the folklore theme and the background, but not the depiction of the creatures. Also, the final scene is like… 🥱

One of those classics whose just the memories can move you. Tornatore, Morricone, great performances… Everything is right.

Sad, with slight good vibes. I’m not sure if this should be seen with the partner. Probably it was sponsored by English tourism office, but they didn’t spend much on the screenplay.
