Killing Eve: Hello, Losers (2022)
Why ruin perfect?
Those last couple minutes ruined the conclusion, other than that it was a good episode with some great moments but seriously like, why do that? I'd still recommend the show because overall I think it's one of the best TV shows about and the performances are spectacular but seriously that just makes it even more of a shame, this show is so close to perfect, all it needed was a good ending. The writers on this season didn't do justice to anyone who worked on it from the beginning. It's a shame, still one of my favourite show's but I'm not happy about that ending.
Help (2021)
Absolutely Amazing
Jodie Comer and Stevie Grahams talents were not wasted in this movie, it's an absolute must watch and had me and my family extremely invested and entertained. I also feel like it's quite an important film for our time.
Legacy (2015)
Sexist
I'm not even taking about the nudity when I say this film's sexist, they could have kept all the nudity and the film would still be way less sexist if they simply didn't fill the script with sexist lines and jokes. Even if your goal is to make a sexy movie that will appeal to people attracted to women, you don't need to be this offensive in doing it. Other than that the film was surprisingly actually alright that's what makes it such a shame, they could have done really well for a low budget movie but they just couldn't resist degrading women, I don't know who was responsible but it's a disservice to everyone else involved.
The Jungle Book 2 (2003)
Fun for kids, better female characters, good sequel
I always liked this when I was a kid and as someone who grew up with both this and the original Jungle Book, I was 2 when this came out, I can say that while the original had a few more memorable songs I actually always preferred this film, the new characters where fun and memorable, I'm still nostalgic over one of the songs, the opening always seemed exiting to me when I was little, and the visuals where better than the original in my opinion, so I'm sure that kids would still enjoy this movie even if it's not a masterpiece. It also builds up the character of the originally unnamed girl-who shows up at the end of the original to sing about her future of being a domesticated house wife while her husband hunts and then flirts with Mowgli- into being quite a well rounded example of positive female representation in a film that appeals to kids of any gender.
Aladdin (2019)
Pretty fun re-imagining with a very empowering Princess and well fleshed our characters overall
Naomi Scott's performance and take on Princess Jasmine is amazing, if you have young kids whether they be male or female I would highly recommend you show them this film as I found her to be much more empowering and fleshed out than the majority of the female characters (or just characters for that matter) that I saw on screen growing up (which wasn't long ago I was born in 2001) and feel she'd make a great role model for impressionable kids. In fact while I still personally prefer he original I think all the characters in this where much more fleshed out, the music was still great (the lyrics of Arabian Nights are much more positive about Middle Eastern culture although none of the songs beat the originals) including Jasmines new songs, the new Character Daria worked great and ultimately I quite enjoyed it.
As for the overall movie, I'd recommend going into this film as if it's a pantomime that clearly drew from Disney's film and won't get everything right but is still fun to watch on its own merit. They knew they couldn't top the original if they just copied it, so they tried doing a reimagining that would play to its own strengths and I find it worked in its favour.
Slumdog Millionaire (2008)
Absolute Masterpiece on so many levels
This Film is honestly the reason movies exist. It's cinematic storytelling at it's pinnacle, hands down my favourite movie I've seen
