Prince of Peoria (2018)
Brilliant start to a show which is starting to lose it's spark
I'd like to start with the concept. The entire show gives you of the 90's nostalgia. While it had a brilliant start and the characters were rather interesting. They slowly deviated their show after about 6 episodes to a rather downhill motion.
I actually loved the character of Haley Tju on the show, sadly, as nicely the character was built up, was suddenly put up on the side. I don't think she even played a part of the show after a few episodes. And i kind of went on a binge watching spree for her charcater, as it was fun, and rather chilled out.
I fear the show would rather run out of ideas or get cancelled sooner of later, unless they don't ramp up the script and include the characters properly.
For a show which gives the 90's nostalgia with a 21st century essence.. i sure hope they do that.
Young Sheldon: Poker, Faith and Eggs (2017)
Improvement overall to the initial bad start
The show started with a lot of criticism and that the young Sheldon was rather, let's say.. Arrogant. What people forget to understand that initially in The Big Bang Theory in Season 3 Episode 22 - The Stair Case Implementation. We saw the similarities in Sheldon Cooper too. What we have known Sheldon now as is much different. Young Sheldon was always confused about new things but at the same time was smart. He hasn't experienced the stuff yet.
Now, coming to the show itself. Young Sheldon started with a rather fun tone but it went on ahead in a confusing manner. I wasn't sure if it was funny either. That was Episode 1. Episode 2, turned out to be pretty good. Now this Episode was really good. What I like about this is, that they implemented the NON audience laugh method. Ie Single Camera production method. This episode is something where I could see Sheldon Cooper being himself. Being funny yet understanding how the world works. His mother, of course is one of the nicest people in the show. But I could see his brother being good too. I always thought he would be more of a bully than anything else. And of course who can forget MeeMOW (Not sure if I spelled that right) I am still waiting for her to do the Napkin trick for him. There is so much to see in this series. And it has it's potential. Though I really hope the script doesn't latch onto everything what was referred to in The Big Bang Theory else it would just end quite quickly. And there is a need for giving his mother's side of story more attention. I am looking forward to the next episode, though I really hope this doesn't turn out to be a hit and miss show. It lacks details. It has to create that in a better way.
A Dog's Purpose (2017)
One of the movies that makes you cry happily
I did not come to IMDb before I went to see the movie, because I know how big of a critic people can be. But, now that I saw 5.8, I was horrified. And went on to see what the reviews were all about. TMZ? really? I mean, I LOVE DOGS. But wherever PETA sets their foot, they tend to put in such a bad view of everything (NEVER SEE THEIR ADS) There is NOTHING wrong with the movie. Nor do I plan on spoiling any part. But once you do watch the movie, you would understand how less do the PETA people really know about dogs.
Coming to the movie, It is a delight. It got a wee bit predictable at certain places, but none the less anything otherwise than that would have made me sad.
It is HIGHLY recommended for those who maybe planning on getting a dog. Perhaps a kid with no siblings. I do wish some open areas were covered (you would notice that on your own when you watch it) But despite all this, it would be just unfair to give this movie a BIG OL' 10. The acting was terrific. And the voice over of the dog was bold and excellent. Kudos to Josh Gad!
I would highly recommend this movie. P.s It's a bit weird to cry when you're 23 and a guy xD But hey, some movies do that eh.
World War Z (2013)
Decent Zombie flick. Nothing extraordinary.
When I was watching this, I wouldn't deny, I had felt the suspense. But it was a bit repetitive. Every time they would sneak, someone makes a noise. Literally Every time. So when they are sneaking, I am thinking in my head, there it goes. Someone will be dumb enough to make a noise now. From the Airplane (the bag) to WHO (the sudden noise by crowbar). Zombies didn't really care for the helicopter's noise the whole time? What about the buses which came in? But just when someone started singing, suddenly zombies would be like. OH LOOK! SOUND! I might be wrong about this, but the female from Army, had a different accent earlier on, and suddenly it changed? Plane's curtains stopped all the sound of hundreds of zombies chomping together until our hero arrived. The little dude who saved our hero's life. His parents died however neither did he feel anything for them nor did he face any zombies while coming towards the terrace. If certain viruses caused this. There should have been numerous patients from tons of hospitals who should have been just fine. And until our hero ( who seems to be terrible with combat) figured it out. No one ever found out the same? The movie was decent. But, when it tires to show all that LAST MINUTE SAVE such as crowbar incident where our hero took out the crowbar from the zombie's head JUST when another one reached him. Makes it look too unrealistic. There wasn't much of a character growth either. Lastly, as much as I liked the final part, the opening of cola can and drinking like a boss scene made the movie look more of a Parody than a serious movie. But all in all it is a decent watch. And it did make me want to follow The walking dead again.. SO yeah..
Infinite Stratos (2011)
A fun Anime. Provided you don't mind major loopholes in logic.
Overall it is a pretty decent Anime. I did enjoy the first season and for now that is all I have seen. There are some points which are a bit obvious and some other points which don't make sense at all. But considering the anime overall it is funny, has a good story, And feels pretty much an original piece. However lacking the originality in terms of the situation (it is always one guy with many girls after him) but yeah. It is worth watching. Personally speaking, not many may agree. But this serious has a major issue of loop holes. Starting with Houki Shinonono who is known for her skills in melee combat. And at the start, she was shown using a IS to train Ichika, however a few episodes later she needs help to learn the basics and get inside the IS from Ichika. When Ichika falls on his teacher who crashes from the sky.. he is below her and after crash he is above her and of course you guessed it where exactly. Although I am ready to ignore the fact here that he did not get crushed by a suit weighing a ton crashing at such a velocity. The suits are designed for versitality and of course there was a requirement for a bit of skin for some people.. But still it did not make sense not covering any body part as such which makes the volley of bullets when fired upon almost impossible to dodge when you are showing more than 50% of your body without armour.
Again i'd ignore the fact that all the transfers learnt perfect Japanese without any problem..
Lingyin Huang the 2nd best friend of Ichika had a special weapon which was powerful enough to fire compressed air so it is literally not visible to see the same. However whenever she battled including the battle with Laura.. All her bullets were clearly visible.
Coming to Laura, she was ultra powerful. Specially her threads to hold on to someone. However once she became.. well.. Tamed. She barely used her powers like she had been. And not to mention, the suit she wore was completely destroyed when the suit tried to take over her. However the suit was suddenly all OK and unrestricted by others which gives a high chance of the suit doing something like that again.. Suit ie IS.
Coming to Charlotte Dunois or Charl. It was a bit weird to make someone have a good body as a girl but when she was acting as being a guy.. Including while wearing the suit (BEFORE exposing her cover) she was completely flat ( No offence to anyone who may get offended)
There are a lot more.. But the worst I felt was the 11th episode of Season 1 ( Considering I have just seen season 1 till now) Mr Ichika and Ms Houki both have pretty impressive suits. Fight the Second phase bot before he went to that phase ( Sorry I simply can't remember that unmanned machine's name) The machine travels and let me quote "at supersonic speed" for hours. Fires volley of bullets and blocks damage from both their IS's. And not to mention where Houki's IS called AKA ( I think) is supposed to be a 4th gen TOP noch specs. Both their energy shield finishes where she flies for 2km and fires the sword twice and he literally just uses sword without contact ( she flew her) And the bot doesn't get depleted of the energy.
So yeah. It's a good show but the dev need's to consider facts to avoid such mistakes.. There are a few more but I guess this overall makes my point.
