The Silent Sea (2021)
Original Story and No Regrets
The Silent Sea is a Korean Sci Fi mini-series that is eight episodes long. On NetFlix the series is available in English, and the episodes range from 39-51 minutes long.
The story is about a future Earth where water is rationed, so that it is worthwhile to attempt to mine our moon for water to return to Earth. But it gets complicated. Very complicated.
The first episode starts the story, but is a little slow. Episode two builds a little more, but the story really takes off in episode three and continues on until the emotional ending. But you do need to pay attention to understand some of the important nuances and call backs in the story.
If you enjoy Sci-Fi, it's definitely worth watching. I think it's the most original story I've seen in a long time, and I regret none of the time I spent watching it. I really enjoyed it. Hopefully you will too.
Spanglish (2004)
Wow!
I didn't expect this from an Adam Sandler movie. Very emotional, with a mixed ending. Proper choices being made. Wow! Helluva movie.
Todas las pecas del mundo (2019)
Definetly Worth Watching
The movie follows a very confident young lad through middle school. He has his heart set on a young girl, while the possible love of his life is a girl he considers his best friend. Not the ending I expected, nor the story I expected. Quite unusual.
See it, it's reality in many ways. I don't regret watching it, and I enjoyed it.
A last note, on NetFlix it's available with English audio, which is quite well done, but different from the subtitles.
Oh, Ramona! (2019)
Think of an Updated 1930-1948 Romance With Complications
I liked this movie. A lot. It uses voice overs to get you into the head of the lead character, and explicit scenes are censored by various methods.
It's a boy has crush on girl vs boy meets the love of his life movie. The crush is in his home town, the love is met on vacation/holiday. The movie is him trying to understand the difference.
While this movie, overall, has lower ratings, I think it's brilliant despite many of the cliche aspects. Definitely worth watching if you like romantic movies, and definitely worth more respect.
The Umbrella Academy (2019)
A Most Peculiar Story
Semi super heroes, all born on the same day with different mothers, with most of them acquired to be raised by one man.
Without getting into details, it is perhaps the most eclectic story line concerning folks with special powers. Very unusual, interesting, and the best music I've ever heard as background.
The music. If the story line doesn't intrigue you, the music will. I've had to stop the show several times to "Sound Hound" the music because it is the best soundtrack I've ever heard.
Story line plus the music makes this series a definite winner. It's well worth your time in an era crowded with series of all genres of exclusive shows.
I due superpiedi quasi piatti (1977)
The Best and The Worst
Ok, John Williams didn't do the soundtrack. Not even close. Cheesy music, cheesy humor, but I couldn't stop watching it. *sigh* I've seen it twice... And I enjoyed it both times. I'm not sure what it is about this movie, but at some point in the future, I'll watch it again.
Two scammers that become police officers end up being on the right side of the law. That's it in a nutshell. I still don't know why I like it.But I do.
