Your Friends and Neighbours...... 7.5/10


Pretty top notch sexy drama. Jon Hamm is an impeccable actor. Wildly underrated. Olivia Munn is pretty damn hot...🥵

One of the best offerings 2025 has to offer.
The score would have been higher, but that ending leaves much to be desired. Solid TV show overall.

Bro just got his life back, and suddenly he now has a knack for the crime life?? I believe the ambiguous ending was to scrap a S2, as the morality com can't possibly let him go scott free.


Solid show none the less

OhBritannia:
Exterritorial is a solid 3/10 for me.

A movie with a very nice plot, perfect setting or location but very mild to below per acting from literally everyone.
The perfect casts would have sold this movie to trend world wide but it is what it is.

Even with the below par casts, they could have added more thrill, actions and gun battles to the movie but the whole movie was just blank.

They really missed out.

3/10? From you? It must really be a dirt bag flick fgs 😩😩

BlackManta:


Lex Luthor has a hit list.

I'm happy for him.

Do you guys know the official rating yet? Is it PG-13 or PG-Family?

DeeScan:
don't forget she's going to be taken to court after the whole brouhaha.. envidence like that might vindicate her situation, heck might be released on bail or given a really short jail time ...


If she took the whole money, then how would defend herself from not being part of the mastermind of the robbery in which her boss has already told the police ..


Same thing applies to when she was in the bank...

It wasn't about unrealistic but being smart ..


You got caught up in a robbery , then you're being accused of being the mastermind and you went on to take the whole Cash.. if you eventually get caught and charged to court, how do you defend yourself from not being involved in the robbery...

You missed the whole part, where she shot her boss at point blank range? That's a solid 1st degree murder charge right there, and that carries 25 to life or a death sentence even, from the time she entered the boss's office to collect her paycheck to the time she entered the bank to cash that paycheck, no decision she made had any semblance of logic in it. You go to cash a check, and they asked for an ID, and you pull up a gun, and say "please you know me, just cash it for me whilst waving a gun in a public space? 😩😩😩.

The writing of the movie leaned heavily on emotions, to espunge her of any wrong doings, and clearly it worked, she's was been hailed as a some kind of saint, when she committed like 2 to 3 crimes in that run, that could see her locked up for a very long time, because in the real world, the law doesn't judge with emotions, it judges with fact and logic.

The only thing that could save her, was the reveal of her mental state at the end, she can plead insanity.

Baddestguyp:


While I agree it's a good movie,
"Realistic" is not the term I would use to describe this movie...

"While i agree it's a good movie" is such a wild statement coming from you, especially...

The movie was neither good nor realistic.

😂😂😂😂

The last Tyler Perry content I ever watched was Acrimony. There's no hype that can make me watch any of his movies

Unreal gaslighting on X since Friday, that i was forced to indulge but mann, i just wish i didn't 😔😩.

He is such an Unserious film maker, still behaving like a Nollywood up and coming smh

Straw (2025)

Clichéd, illogical, nonsensical...

I bought into the hype this movie has been getting over the past few days, and after seeing it, I just wish I hadn’t.

The writing was atrocious, even a pre-KG kid wouldn’t believe what they showed. Nothing made sense. They didn’t even put in the effort to make anything remotely believable. The dialogue was so amateurish, it felt like the actors met on set for the first time and just started winging it, blurting out anything with little care for coherence.

The casting choice was mediocre. Apart from Taraji P. Henson, the rest of the cast weren’t pulling their weight. It felt like they expected her to carry the whole film , but instead, they dragged her into mediocrity with them. There's a reason Teyana Taylor is better known for her singing than her acting , she had no business being in this, let alone being a co-lead. Her portrayal of Detective Raymond was so abysmal; her amateurish behind wasn’t detecting sht*. 😩

There was one scene where the Chief of Police asked her how she knew Taraji’s character wasn’t involved in the grocery store robbery. Instead of presenting logical proof or security footage, this heifer said, "I have a feeling." 😭

Now, I totally get the story they were trying to tell and I was actually invested in the emotional weight of it all. Like... man, poverty is a disease; it can destroy the mind 😔. But like most of Tyler Perry's films, the execution was just too flat for me to take the movie seriously. He's still chasing sensationalism instead of logic. He can tell nuanced stories about Black people in a way that leaves a lasting impression, but instead, he keeps recycling old formulas.

And maybe Taraji P. Henson needs to stop picking up his calls...

A very special... special 4/10. 💥

BlackManta:
I find Sydney Sweeney very attractive but I never rated her as an actress and this is why.

She and Ana de Armas are in the same category. Overrated actress who made it in Hollywood because of their sex appeal.

If Sydney wasn't a famous actress, she would be doing Onlyfans.

The ment for her bathwater soap is literally softporn.

"Hello dirty little boys, are you interested in my body". WTF is that A glamorized cornstar masquerading as an actress.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V16Y4wZj0fA?si=gJUp8PPljFVgMvYm

You might be a little bit hard on her tbh....she is not the first actress to use sex appeal as an advantage in the industry, neither will she be the last....

Who do you think are the main consumers of Onlyfans? what do you think makes gimmicks like this still sell?, who do you think will actually buy this soap?

Please let her sell her market abeg.

Common Side Effects" S1 (2025)

"You're a medicine salesman , cure everybody, and you're out of business!"

In times like these, when it's rare to find shows that reach beyond the surface and tap into something deeper than life itself, I stumbled upon this rare gem.

A hipster discovers some rare mushrooms with seemingly miraculous healing abilities, capable of curing every disease known to man. His mission? To share it freely with the world. But of course, not without consequences...

It was such an easy binge, one that left me yearning for more. The show throws up a host of moral dilemmas that made it hard to take a firm stance. On one hand, discovering a universal cure might be the noblest act since the evolution of our species. But on the other hand, the chaos it could unleash in our already hyper-capitalist world is unimaginable. Big Pharma would likely seize control, pricing it beyond the reach of the downtrodden , literally weaponizing life itself.

Struggle, mortality, and vulnerability are part of what shapes the human condition. Removing all suffering could flatten our experience entirely. Would people still be motivated to live healthy lifestyles if they knew a miracle cure existed? While it seems like an incredible solution on the surface, it could break the very fabric of biology, society, and ethics.

I love shows like this, ones that make me think. And to think, I had it sitting on my device for months.

An easy, easy recommendation.

Top shelf show, tbh.
8/10

Walahi..... You go know say na SCAM. 😂😂

Na so dem run that PR gimmick for "Thunderbolt*", dem don still start with this one...make we dey see shall 🤭

BlackManta:
Hmmmm

There is absolutely no way this movie has that kind of pull..........

joseph1832:
Well, I said it before. The movie could have been special if they had ebb down on the From Dusk Till Dawn Vibe. I mean, they already created a story, bit decided to silently copy themes from From Dusk Till Dawn.

They should have just focused on the brothers, and their sojourn in Chicago with Al Capone and his mafia. Would have been nicer to see this...

A beautifully shot movie, i would give it that, every frame was louvre worthy, and those IMAX cameras did wonders.

But maan, at the core of a good movie, is a good story, and this sadly tried to cramp so many stories, without success, and eventually landing no where. I was genuinely fed up by the third act.

The film didn't know whether to take a serious tone, or a comedic one. I don't even know what genre this movie falls, under, was it a musical? can't really any memorable track tbh? was it a horror flick? If that's what Ryan was going for, than it will be parody horror at best, because of the silly jokes they were cracking. Was it a racially charged drama?, they served a very little emotional back story, to be properly vested in this plot line.

They had me thinking Hailee Steinfeld was the poster girl for the flick? Meanwhile this babe was on screen for like 5 minutes,😭


The only good take away is, how beautifully shot it was , and that's the only reason, i may want to see it again.

DieRich5:
Sinner 5/10
Black peoples won’t rate this movie as it is, yes it’s can be 5,6 or 7 but not 8 like others hyping it

What’s great about the movie?
I really enjoyed the musical mostly the lil cousin voice and the beautiful black casts also I’m in love with who plays Grace character

What’s bad about the movie?
I see black people not talking about the white vampire and it’s always the same message besides that, making the recycled plot movie 2hrs without any supernatural context till almost the end. No bloody or horrific scenes, more like a gangster film you can feel comfortable watching it at midnight, let me end it here I don’t wanna talk the Unnecessary scenes.

The final scene Is so Stupid and laughable for a supernatural movie that was supposed to be a serious one.

100% spot on with this take 👀👍🏿.

I when "Black Panther" (2018) came out and Black folks were going to cinemas wearing trad, and hyping the movie to the highest heavens, because it was supposedly the first "black superhero movie" on a major slate, only for me to actually see it, and see that it was just your normal run on the mill flick, that has enjoyed a magnanimous hype, that the film, in reality, came nowhere to matching.

That is the exact same feeling i had, after seeing this...and in a funny irony, both movies were made by the same film maker.

Now on a good day, was this a good movie? Yes, but boy the things they have said about this movie for the past 2 months or so, i genuinely struggled to see tbh...

A glorified "From Dusk till Dawn" (1996), with a little racial war on the side, was all it was...and the replay value for me at the very least, is at it's lowest ebb.

phr0nesis:
Oyaskii abeg no vex. Please can you help with link(s) to old episodes of The Amazing Race.

You should be prosecuted for the oversight

Casually just assumed, like everybody that loves movie, would have seen that all timer, by now 😩🤭

Wind River (2017)
The Black Phone (2021)
Fractured (2019)
My Son (2021)

"From You, 2000 Years Ago"


"Who are you"

Special... Special episodes.... Special Special shows 💥🌟

Illusioneffect:

you guys have the dumbest ideas. How in the fcking world will they make any of the three MAIN characters something they're not in the books. If you know anything about screenwriting, you'd know they can't change any character traits of main characters except it's reviving a show and not rebooting it. The three characters will be exactly how they are in the books or they'll be mildly their traits or over-the-top with their traits, they can't be something else.
Plus I have said this already- the show-runner, directors and writers of the show are not new young folks who want to be too creative - it's HBO!!! not Netflix. this directors are the best in the business. I'm more optimistic than pessimistic, it's Warner Bros we're talking about here not Disney

Your self proclaimed hyper fanaticism with the Harry Potter lore has probably blinded you from discerning your fantasies from logic, ever since this show was announced, to a damn near annoying condescending level tbh.

It's not like you have the screenwriter on speed dial or have a PhD in scriptwriting...you are just in the dark, as we all are, concerning what they are gonna do with the characters. It's not like they haven't changed traits of major characters in adaptations before and considering the times we are in, all bets are off the table.

You have such a high hopes for the prod team, when one of the writers openly claimed, he wasn't arsed to read the books!

Not saying you shouldn't be bubbly about one of your favourite franchises as you claim, but still open your eyes to logic and the signs of the times.

tobore4u:
Caddo lake 9.5/10...Great story line

Good movie, but 9.5 is quite high o. A similar plot to "Dark" , so the whole thing looked like a cheap rip off... but there was some strong acting in there and good twists.

GloriousGbola:
Good times

maybe i will finally push myself to watch a movie in 2025

That 4K PSA print seems tempting but i don't know if the movie is worth the hassle.

Palehair:

Get off your high horse, we live in a capitalistic society and Hollywood is no exception, everything in the industry is a money grabbing scheme........ it's literally called the movie business

Also, there are fans of the books that hated the movies like me, I stopped at the fourth movie because of how it butchered a lot of characters due to them having no time to develop them. I don't have faith in this one though because the creator said they didn't read the books but fingers crossed

"You don't have faith in this one as the creator has said they didn't read the books as you have said but i should get off my high horse because i called it an obvious money grabbing scheme which your 2nd paragraph has alluded to? maaannn 🤦🏿‍♂️.


A capitalistic world now, but it doesn't mean there aren't those of us, who how good we used to have it. A business is typically an exchange of quality product/services in exchange for profit, but it seems this movie execs are only interested in the later, and there are people like you, ready to just lap it up.

Well my fingers aren't crossed for anything, as i can totally smell the BS, but good for you, that yours is crossed tho, and by all means, have at it 👍🏿

BlackManta:
Get used to these faces.

You're gonna watch them grow up every year for the next eight years.

I hope HBO is prepared to release a new season every year.

No go do same mistake Netflix did with Stranger Things.

8 years ke?? So basically, this is the movie, just retold for modern audiences??! cuz am still failing to see the point of this show.

The movie more than did justice to the source material imo.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, this all looks like a money grabbing scheme without care for quality or substance 🤷🏿‍♂️

pu7pl3:


I like how ruthless you tend to get when you didn't enjoy something bro. Keep it up.

light work bro, fuelled by seething hate for rubbish media ✌🏿

Holav:
Just finished watching PARADISE complete season 1,
The series is not all that, I saw so many people here recommending it here so then i think I should check it out..

The storyline and script of the series is not that fascinating as people here said,

Me watching the series then thinking in my mind that have seen something similar to this storyline before.

"World ending the billionaire built bunker they want to control the people, then someone will try to stop them "have seen this type of particular shit countless time.

dis series is even similar to the fallout, even similar to resident evil. if you are the person that usually watch TV series or movie you will get what am trying to say about the series storyline.

Hollywood should try am be creative about dere script again.
this particular storyline is always being repeated too much.

So my rating 6/10😖

*4/10. The is show was gutter quality.

The first few episodes were ok, but they just veered off, and started mixing plots from other shows and movies diluted with unwanted melodrama with the hopes of getting a S2...and they even tried a last minute hail mary shock value, with one nonsense reveal by the end, but i wasn't moved, as i had already caught on to their BS by then.

Proper dustbin show 🗑️

abduleez1:


I saw this news the other day and I was laughing, with all the shout and talk about how Amazon has greenlit up to 5 seasons before S1 even premiered.

I we had arguments here about viewership numbers and audience reception. People were claiming they're committed to 5 seasons because some executive mentioned that shït on paper.

With this move.... it's not looking even good for Rings of Power with the amount of money they've spent and the continued drop in viewership numbers.
So that one might be cancelled anytime soon after S3 premieres and isn't a hit.

It's a shame I already ed some episodes and about watching the S3. I'd watch it nonetheless and see the growth with the production team.

Ultimately the viewership of S3 was far below the cost of financing the show and Prime Video simply wasn't having it anymore.

Fantasy shows are always touch and go, because of the sheer cost, VFX, locations, props and all that goes into making them, the show has to prove it is worth it, and prove it fast!, unfortunately, WOT ran out of time.

Every studio has been chasing their next "GOT" without success. It is so hard replicating it, due to the huge financial obligation involved, and these execs are basically just throwing huge amounts of money into fantasy projects and rolling the dice. Funny enough, even "the great GOT", was one time considered "high financial risk", by HBO, immediately after 51, before it's popularity just blew off, and they just rode on the wave and had a massive payday, even that, they started making some cost saving decisions as the seasons rolled by, like topping off the Direwolves, cuz they simply couldn't manage the budget of animating them and the dragons at the same time.

Point is, Fantasy shows takes alot of effort to make, and the show has to justify that effort a million fold. WOT even tried sef, getting S3. As you pointed out, ROP might likely face the same faith. ⌛
