Best of Netflix
Whether you're binge watching or Netflix and Chilling, hats off to the digital streaming behemoth that never ceases to entertain.
Netflix; 'Stranger Things 3' Review and Anticipations for 'OITNB' and 'Wentworth'.
I've been watching from the beginning, so let me start by saying this season was very well written and performed, not to mention how amazingly it continued the story. I personally love that we start off seeing how Eleven and Hopper are feeding into a normal Father/Daughter relationship and his fears of her changing and growing up manifest in the protective way it would have if his actual daughter was still alive. We see so much drama and a new side of Murray Bauman who had helped point out Nancy and Jonathon's tension the season prior, well he's at it again once we get into this season while his role also becomes more integral to the plot and main group. We love seeing the monsters taking different shapes and forms this season as it starts with rats before Billy is turned into the main host, which brings more side characters to the Flayer. As the flayer grows and hunts our favorite group of now teenagers, we see a more grotesque side to the writing. Now the Flayer is hunting El and the end for Billy is more shocking and redeeming in our hearts than Dustin and Suzie singing "Never Ending Story."

'Stranger Things 3' Reflection
Having finished Stranger Things 3, I have some non-spoiler thoughts to present, followed by marked spoiler thoughts. Overall, I thought the season was good. I am not sure whether I prefer it over the previous seasons, but I do think that no scene has topped the Snow Ball dance at the end of season two in terms of how emotional it feels. One's mileage may vary, of course. Without diving deep right away, I have some impressions regarding the nostalgia factor. And then after that, other aspects that I cannot really discuss without spoiling.

Movie vs Book: 'To All The Boys I've Loved Before'
When adapting a book into a movie, there's bound to be some changes along the way. Character castings may turn out different than the author envisioned or a subplot may be excluded for time. So what's the difference between Jenny Han's To All the Boys I've Loved Beforeand Netflix's "To All the Boys I've Loved Before"?

'Shaft' (2019) - Review (Netflix)
Back in 1971, a seminal blaxploitation film was released. Gordon Parks’ Shaft, starring Richard Roundtree in the lead role as John Shaft, was a landmark film in cinema. Shaft was a character that unashamedly was black, embracing black culture and attitudes of the times against the backdrop of an America trying to find an identity after the upheaval of the sixties, a decade that saw the civil rights movement, the assassination of John F Kennedy, and the last years of the Vietnam war.

'The Simplest Thing Is to Complicate Everything' - Review (Netflix)
Upper-middle-class Renata (Danna Paola) has been in love with Leo (Alosian Vivancos) all of her life. Her brother, Oscar (Eduardo Tanus) is Leo’s best friend and work colleague. Renata has the raging hormones of a seventeen-year-old girl/young woman coursing through her, as well as having an extremely fertile imagination.

'Neo Yokio'
Alright, let’s talk Neo Yokio: For those unfamiliar, it’s a Netflix original anime about a demon-slaying aristocrat, starring none other than Jaden Smith and produced by Vampire Weekend frontman, Ezra Koenig. Some people hate it, some people love it. I for one, belong to the latter group of people. Now I understand it’s not everyone’s cup of tea — the voice acting and animation style seem to be a big turn off for critics. But while it might not have been what viewers initially expected, I think this show takes some big risks in framing its not-so-subtle message. And if you take a closer look, (passed all the demons and robot butlers), Neo Yokio is a satirical, but somewhat plausible outlook on the near-future of our hyper-commodified culture.

'Chopsticks'—Review (Netflix)
Ummm. I don’t know. I really don’t know what to make of Chopsticks, an Indian language film showing on Netflix. It is a sweet film and definitely an enjoyable watch. It is well directed by Sachin Yardi, who also came up with the story. The amusing screenplay is by Rahul Awate.
