Dark (2017)
Amazing German Mystery Show
This Show is the first German-language Netflix original. The series is set in the small isolated German town of Winden in 2019 when Children start disappearing in the same place every 33 years bringing to light dark secrets double lives and dark past of four families living there revealing a mystery that spans three generations i don't want to say much because it'll spoil the surprises.
The Show has a really good tone throughout the town is small everyone knows one another the skies are always overcast there is endless rain the characters are all interesting and complex everyone has a story to tell or a secret to hide.
Great Cinematography with lots of interesting and unique shots it also has a great soundtrack too really setting the tone for scenes with deep foreboding electronic musical notes.
this show is dubbed in English don't watch the dub do yourself a favor and watch it in the original German audio the cast is amazing. Great show will definitely be watching season 2 when it releases. 8 / 10

Kinda Like Walking Dead But With Vampires
Van Helsing is set 3 years into the apocalypse after an event called the rising, where vampires have risen and taken control of the world. The Main character Vanessa wakes up from a coma to find out she has been asleep for three years to find herself in a post-apocalyptic world.

When the vampires find this out Vanessa becomes a prime target she has been protected by a Marine named Axel who was ordered to keep her safe, and Sarah the doctor who saved her, so now she can take the fight to the vampires who treat the world as a feeding ground.
Very dark tone i like it you get to watch the characters evolve for the better or worse (hehe) lots of interesting shots good cinematography some interesting songs but mostly climactic battle music for the soundtrack.
When i looked at the reviews for this show before i watched it everyone was badmouthing it i don't see why this show is great and a hidden gem I will definitely be watching the fourth season in 2019. 8 / 10 :D

This show is set set in medieval Korea and follows the story of Crown Prince Yi-Chang who becomes embroiled in a political conspiracy and is forced to embark upon a mission to investigate the spread of a mysterious undead plague that has begun to spread.

This show is really good the acting is great and the characters and costumes believable also quite impressive world and set design looks appropriately medieval it has good cinematography with quite a few interesting shots it has very little music mostly background tracks to accompany action scenes some scenes in this show have a huge amount of extras on screen at the same time impressive.
This show is great good story great acting Definitely looking forward to season 2. :D 8.5 / 10
Insidious: The Last Key (2018)
Second Best In The Series
The story starts in 1953 a very young Elise Rainier lives in Five Keys, New Mexico next to a prison in the middle of nowhere with her parents and her brother she is already seeing paranormal entities but her abusive father Gerald does not believe her and he abuses and beats Elise whenever she mentions what she sees he then locks her in the basement, There Elise opens a mysterious red doorway and visits the Further for the first time but when her mother Audrey comes to investigate she is killed by the very powerful entity. Decades later Elise receives a call from a man who bought her childhood home asking for help Elise knows she must go and sets off to face an unfinished and very personal case with Specs and Tucker.
The cinematography is very good as always this series has a lot of interesting camera angles and shots and also again no music other than loud and sudden orchestral notes.
The second best in the series it has a creepy and eerie tone throughout i look forward to the series continuing hopefully. If you enjoyed the first three entries in the series you will definitely enjoy this horror film 8.5 / 10 Recommend.

Again really good cinematography with some very interesting shots from very different angles also again no music other than sudden loud instrumental audio ques to scare you which i quite enjoyed.
I would say this movie is the best in the Insidious series my personal favorite there are a lot of really creepy moments. 8.5 / 10 :D
Insidious: Chapter 2 (2013)
A good Conclusion to the Lambert family story
The film starts immediately where the first film left off after their showdown with the evil entities that possessed their son, the Lamberts hope that their lives will return to normal however this is not the end as the hauntings continue so they enlist Elise Rainiers assistants Specs and Tucker to help them investigate not only that but Elises old former colleague and assistant Carl from when she was a young woman comes to help too.
This Movie Jumps Between the past and the present showing that they are both connected a lot of interesting twists and turns come out of this.
It has very good cinematography with many interesting shots. Again no music but the sudden loud noises and jump scares, the sudden sounds are still used very smartly and effectively.
Not as scary as the first film but has the same consistent eerie tone throughout & wraps the Lambert family story nicely. 7 / 10
Insidious (2010)
Fairly Decent Paranormal Horror
The story centers on a Married couple Josh and Renai Lambert and their 3 children strange things start happening and quickly begin to escalate their son Dalton enters a comatose state in the real world after a fall while his astral self is in dimension realm called The Further a realm between life and death the boy then becomes a target different supernatural entities are trying to claim and inhabit his body though some a stronger and more aggressive than others.
the cinematography has some very unique and interesting shots The scares are quite good building up over time adding suspense but there are a few jump scares and loud musical ques the visuals and atmosphere are what ever eerie.
Made by the same dude James Wan, who made another horror franchise the saw series
8 / 10 Itsa Scary Boi
Event Horizon (1997)

xXx: Return of Xander Cage (2017)
The Worst xXx Movie So Far ?
Vin Diesel is back as xXx but the spotlight is barely on Zander Cage anymore its about his team of random crazy out there people including a bunch of Kung Fu Ninja dudes and Ruby Rose saving the world again lol.
The Cinematography was pretty good and the music was alright but feature a lot of really misplaced pop songs unlike the first xXx with rock and metal themed music. Check it out if you have seen the first two the worst in the series and the sequel is already green lit. :d
xXx: State of the Union (2005)
Second Best xXx Almost as cool as the first
XXx but this time it has a different main protagonist Ice Cube who plays Darius Stone an ex soldier in jail who is visited by gibbons and recruited he then has to escape prison and become the new xXx and save the world from an evil politician who want to rule the world.
The action and cinematography are decent the music was a bit better than the first watch this if you liked the original it has lots of explosions guns and girls 6.5 out of 10 :D
xXx (2002)
Best xXx
Vin Diesel oozes style and bad assness as Zander Cage pro underground athlete whose is recruited by Samual l. Jackson for the NSA xXx Program of which he is the first recruit he is sent to Russia to stop a Russian terrorist organization.
There are a lot of cool action scenes good cinematography and the music is rather earlier 2000's music but it is a good action movie one of the best 2000's action spy flicks with lots of explosions and cool cars. 7.5 / 10 give it a go.
The Terror (2018)
Absolutely amazing horror show
Everything about this show is amazing the overall feel of desperation the characters feel is palpable at times there are a lot of incredible talented actors in this series that all give A grade proformances.
The visuals and cinematography are stunning the music and sound design are incredible too i binged the whole show in one sitting.
This show is incredible go watch it now if you are a horror fan you owe it to yourself 8.5 /10.
The Walking Dead (2010)
Amazing Show
The show follows a band of survivors in a zombie post Apocalypse as they try to rebuild the world. All the characters have emotional and gut wrenching stories the show is unpredictable anyone can die even main characters there have been scenes that have literally made me cry at times all the actors have given amazing performances.
The Cinematography and choreography are great the show has amazing sound design and all the actors are believable. A lot of people talk bad about the show but if you are a true fan you know that every episode has something to offer.
An Amazing Series binge worthy sit down and watch you won't regret it 8.5/10
Mindhunters (2004)
A Solid Crime Mystery Movie
Kept me guessing until the end i liked the smart tone and dark atmosphere and the setting on an island with nobody on it.
The acting is believable and was cast really well a lot of good shots and very little music it has low rating but i don't know why i never heard of it before saw it 2018 but i would recommend to slasher fans and crime fans alike.
If you have two hours spare and like slashers/crime stories give it a go 7/10 Underrated.
Hellsing Ultimate (2006)
Not As Good As The Original But Still Has A Lot Of Good Moments
Hellsing Ultimate is basically a HD remaster of the original Hellsing 2001 featuring the same voice cast for the main characters and a couple new voice actors too they fleshed out the characters better than the original too.
This Show has a lot of what i love gruesome dark brutal and bloody but the characters are funny when they wanna be but when it starts taking itself too seriously and the Villans monologue for what seems like the whole episode it was boring me to tears i want more gore and action good thing is tho what gore and action the first half of the series provided was great.
First Half amazing second half a lot slower i prefer the original Hellsing 2001 but the visuals a beautiful in this and so is the audio 8.0 /10.0 Watch the original if you liked that you'll like this.
Poputepipikku (2018)
Quite Weird But Good
Pop Team Epic is pretty unique as its based on short comedy focused manga panels and has a lot of pop culture references (i,e other anime , movies , video games and memes).
Anyways the show is also unique as it loops over the same episode twice with one difference you can watch the same episode with alternate dialog one male or female voice actors for the two main protagonists i found the male ones much funnier ever tho they had the same dialog.
Sometimes the show is quite random and can be hit or miss but other times i was laughing my ass off so ill give it a 7.0 / 10.0 Watch if if you've got some spare time.
Batman Ninja (2018)
If You Like Batman Don't watch this
Literally the worst animated Batman movie i have ever seen so cheesy & predictable.
In this movie batman thinks he is nothing without his gadgets and even says so. Batmans gadgets help but its his training and superior intellect that make him who he is not in this movie in this movie batman gets fooled at every available opportunity.
all the dialog is so boring and cringe to the max whoever came up with this idea should be fired and so should anyone who agreed with him and actually made this garbage fire of a movie.
The premise already seems like its going to be the cheesiest thing ever but its even worse than that in action
This movie feels like a 3 year old came up with it 2.0 / 10.0 Don't Watch It.
Batman: Gotham by Gaslight (2018)
Fun Alternate Reality Batman Story
I enjoyed this animated movie it was a lot darker than usual batman stuff the fight choreography was pretty good and it had good cinematography an interesting story to boot i enjoyed the twist at the end.
Watch this if you like batman and have an hour to waste 7.5 / 10.0
