It’d be hard to overstate just how likeable Netflix’s “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before” movies. Cute cast, realistic (if affluent) situations, upbeat messaging and first love-affirming, precisely what a teen rom com should be. And if Netflix wants to wring the life out of the “franchise,” even that doesn’t ding that likability. The […]
Netflixable? “To All the Boys: Always and Forever”
Malcolm & Marie premieres February 5 on Netflix. By Ariba Bhuvad Over the course of this year, we’ve seen television and film productions figure out a way to continue their work while following strict COVID-19 safety protocols. But perhaps none are more impressive than director/producer Sam Levinson’s latest Netflix movie, Malcolm & Marie. Levinson wrote, […]
Malcolm & Marie (2021) – Review
Multi-hyphenate Armando Iannucci might be the best working satirist today (all seven seasons of Veep are streaming on HBO Max and DirecTV). His take on the transfer of power in the USSR circa 1953 is so loaded with jokes you have to watch it twice to get it all. From backstabbing to assassination, pajamas and concert recordings, […]

Film Review – Penguin Bloom (2020)
I didn’t like the book and I didn’t like the movie. I am so, so tempted to leave this review at just that one sentence but I know that would be a bit disingenuous since I am very much in the minority on this. So I’ll give you a slightly fuller picture and you will […]

Netflix collected eight prizes at the IDA Awards, while Bradley won both Best Director and Best Emerging Director for “Time.”
IDA Awards: ‘Crip Camp’ Wins Best Feature, Garrett Bradley Is Best Director
It’s interesting one would think with a new female led action film coming to HBO Max this weekend in Wonder Woman 84 (which I did marginally recommend) I would not be looking to Netflix for pleasurable entertainment. Alas that is the case and fortunately they provided with the dishy new series from producer Shonda Rhimes […]
[REVIEW] BRIDGERTON: Netflix Meets Dishy Regency Romance Novel
I saw this Woody Allen movie on Netflix. I have to say that it was not very good. I understand the kind of people he want to portray, those people that to work long akward hours for New Yorkers (like Woody himself) could go to Coney Island for some fun. But I did not feel […]
As I watched David Fincher’s latest film, Mank, my main feeling was one of wanting to like the film more than I actually did. I mean, really, the film sounds like it was specifically made to appeal to me. It’s a film about the Golden Age of Hollywood, which is an era that has always […]
The Films of 2020: Mank (dir by David Fincher)
There are Series on Netflix that you have high hopes for or just seems good, but end up flat on their Faces when you finally watch it. On the other Hand, there are Series that you don’t have a lot of expectations or know little about, but turn out to be a really big surprise. […]
If Tom Hardy is determined to play only inaudible characters from now on, might I suggest he grab a corncob pipe and reboot Popeye? Previously on Midlife Crisis Crossover: I saw four (4) whole movies in theaters in 2020, the Purgatory That Only Pretended to Be a Year on the Calendar. For those of us […]

Unorthodox: Mini Dizi İncelemesi Yaratıcılığını Anna Winger ve Alexa Karolinskinin yaptığı bu 2020 yapımı dizi, bu yıl beni çok etkileyen yapımlardan biri oldu. Unorthodox, yüksek ihtimalle hakkında çok şey bilmediğiniz Yahudi kültürünün içine şok etkisi yaratarak sokuyor. Bunu yaparken de o toplumda doğmuş büyümüş genç bir kadının varoluş hikayesini bizlere aktarıyor. Bu hikayeye takdir dolu […]

Death To 2020 (2020), Cristin Milioti, Netflix My favourite thing about Netflix’s Death to 2020, a comedic retrospective of the year that was 2020 is the phrase ‘Prime Ministerial scarecrow, Boris Johnson.’ I laugh every time I re-read it, because it’s true. There’s certainly a handful of more amusing moments within the show, whether it’s […]
