Lost Girls (2020)

I was very reluctant when Netflix's latest original, Lost Girls, popped up on my homepage last Friday. I, however, was very intrigued by its cast — specifically Amy Ryan and Thomasin McKenzie — and, after a brief survey on Twitter, I decided to give it a chance. And I'm glad I did as it turned out to be an absorbing and intriguing, although by the numbers, true-crime drama.

Thursday Movie Picks: Spoofs / Satires / Mockumentaries

A weekly series hosted by Wandering Through the Shelves

The bar where I work closed on Monday due to Coronavirus which leaves me with a lot of free time, the time I need to watch all those series I started on Netflix but never finished — and never will because I realized watching series and movies all day is no longer my thing. Anyways, the series I restarted watching is Brooklyn Nine-Nine which obviously brought back my Andy Samberg phase. Why am I telling you this? Because for this multiple themed Thursday Movie Picks I decided to go with three mockumentaries starring him. Plus a bonus pick because it's the greatest mockumentary ever. 

Thursday Movie Picks: Deadly Sins Edition: Gluttony

A weekly series hosted by Wandering Through the Shelves

As you can tell by the title, March's deadly sin is gluttony, probably the one I'm the most guilty of, and yet I can't come up with movies about it. For this reason I'm going with scenes where a character is really enjoying his/her food.

Monthly Recap: February 2020

I cannot but open this monthly recap with the wonderful news of Italy finally having primacy in Europe and, if Italians continue to act like dickheads, we are probably going to out to South Korea and maybe even China. What am I talking about? The Coronavirus, ladies and gentlemen. February's hot news. The thing everyone talks about. The thing everyone is shitless scared about. I kid you not people here are losing their minds here. They are emptying supermarkets, buying kilos of pasta like the apocalypse is coming, and that's exactly how this country looks now. Empty roads, empty bars, empty cinemas — the latter are even closed in the north of the country. It feels like being in a disaster movie, the actual disaster being people's stupidity.
