The Ice Road (2021)
7/10
Suspenseful but has some low plot points
25 July 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Contrary to most reviews here, i actually enjoyed the movie.. i was sitting on edge the entire time and was invested in the story and truly wanted to follow through and see how the miners would get rescued and how the company would finally get its payback for its corruptness. My absolute least favorite part in the movie which i thought was very unnecessary and very melodramatic was the brother's death. Why? After successfully making it through all these crazy encounters and attacks and phases and after finally succeeding in doing this entire mission impossible... Why would they suddenly just kill him off in the most lame way just for the sake of killing him off. I felt like it was unnecessary. I would have rather seen him get his speech problem fixed (which they actually did right before he died) but without killing him off. That way he can go back to a normal life after becoming a hero not only as a veteran but as a civilian. Other minor parts i didn't particularly enjoy were some of the fight scenes which could have been done better. They seemed kind of lame like they could have made Liam Needing fight a bit smarter or more aggressively. I understand he was portrayed as a nice character but if someone is trying to kill you being aggressive is justified so it could have been slightly better. Otherwise i enjoyed the movie. I think it deserves a higher rating than 5.6.

The Blacklist (2013–2023)
7/10
Raymond Reddington is what makes this show amazing!!!
22 September 2020
The single most amazing thing about this show is Raymond Reddington. Watching him in his harmonious actions and brilliant dialogue just makes the show one of my favorite crime shows ever. His interactions with Cooper, Ressler, and Aram are so interesting and exciting to watch. He has helped developed their characters in such a unique way. Dembe is great and his relationship with Reddington is really amazing to watch. The action of the show is fast and not boring at all. There is a lot of suspense. Enough complexity to keep you hooked without being too complicated. I absolutely love everything and everyone about this show except for one single thing.

Unfortunately I was forced to give the show a 7/10 because of that stupid character forced on us (Elizabeth Keen). I have hated every moment with her from her selfish actions to her her stupid mentality to her annoying nagging about the truth. She suddenly switches sides because of selfish reasons. She doesn't care to put her colleagues in trouble in spite of all the things they do for her to keep her safe. She hides things from them and acts on her own like she is a genius when she is nothing but stupid and dumb. She is always fighting Raymond after all the things he has done for her and all the risks he has taken to protect her. Her scenes make my blood boil. She randomly spills other people's secrets with no morals whatsoever and acts so self righteous. I hate her. I hate her. I hate her. She ruined such an amazing show for me with her presence. I don't even want to see this actress in another show after her horrible character in this one because it will just remind me of the stupidity she portrayed here. She is just the worst and if it were not for her I would have given this show an absolute 10!!!!
