Score: 5 / 10 Category: Movie Platform: Netflix One-line verdict Big 80s energy, classic Arnold one-liners — but structurally messy and logic-light. Why I watched this There’s a new version of The Running Man coming, so I decided to revisit the original. Plus, Arnold Schwarzenegger is one of my all-time favorites.
Score: 8 / 10 Category: Movie Platform: Netflix One-line verdict Smart, twist-heavy mystery that knows exactly how to mess with you — without cheating. Why I watched this I went straight into this after Glass Onion, so I was already on alert mode. With a Benoit Blanc movie, you know every line
Score: 8 / 10 Category: Movie Platform: Netflix One-line verdict A sequel that knows you’re trying to outsmart it — and still beats you anyway. Why I watched this I delayed watching this because after Knives Out, I thought I knew what to expect from Benoit Blanc. I wanted to go
Score: 7 / 10 Category: Movie (Anime) Platform: Apple TV One-line verdict A canon-defining Dragon Ball spectacle with enormous ambition and emotional weight, slightly dragged down by inconsistent animation and familiar timeline issues. Context & bias (important) I’ll put this upfront. Dragon Ball is my favourite anime of all time.
Score: 4 / 10 Category: Movie Platform: Streaming One-line verdict A childhood staple that doesn’t survive adult scrutiny—ambitious, oddly derivative, and weighed down by clumsy plotting despite its nostalgic charm. Why I revisited this I decided to rewatch Masters of the Universe because a new iteration is slated for
Score: 8 / 10 Category: TV Series Platform: Streaming One-line verdict A brutal, emotionally heavy spy series powered by exceptional female performances, slightly let down by an abrupt and incomplete season ending. What worked This is not an easy series to watch. Lioness is painful in the right way — it shows
Score: 7 / 10 Category: Movie Platform: Netflix One-line verdict A carefully constructed whodunit that rewards attention, with layered misdirection and smart plotting, even if one performance choice remains distracting. Second viewing, clearer appreciation This was my second time watching Knives Out. The first time, I didn’t give it the
Score: 9 / 10 Category: Movie Platform: Prime Video One-line verdict A rare sequel that deepens consequence, sharpens intelligence, and delivers twists powerful enough to eclipse the original. Why I went in I decided to watch Drishyam 2 because I wanted to see how the story truly played out after the
Score: 7 / 10 Category: TV Series Platform: Apple TV+ One-line verdict A polished, morally grey suburban drama held together by strong performances, but weighed down by too many unresolved subplots. What worked This is my first series entry for Jan 2026, and overall, I enjoyed it. I like the family-drama
Score: 6 / 10 Category: Movie Platform: Streaming One-line verdict A messy, incoherent giant-snake movie that somehow works because it leans hard into comedy — and because Jack Black being Jack Black still counts for something. Initial reaction I went into this extremely skeptical. Mainly because of the cast. This is Anaconda.
Score: 7 / 10 Category: Movie Platform: Streaming One-line verdict A slow, disciplined thriller built on character misdirection and patience, effective but more predictable than its reputation suggests. First impressions This is my first Malayalam movie, recommended both by a friend and by GPT as a good entry point into the
Score: 7 / 10 Category: Movie Platform: Streaming One-line verdict A fresh and unsettling supernatural thriller that works on atmosphere and performances but holds itself back by refusing to explore its villain. What worked * I picked this because it’s directed by Scott Derrickson, whose films I’ve consistently liked (The
