(TV SERIES) The Copenhagen Test Season 1 - A Unique & Interesting Blend of Spy Story with Sci-fi Element

Few days ago, I found out that the first 4 episodes of this series were made available on HBO Max. I was delighted as I read some articles praising the series but I thought I had to wait for some time till all episodes were released. On New Year's eve though, I rechecked HBO Max and realized that the full season was already out. So I immediately began to watch on that day and finished it last night. Without further ado, here's more on the series.

Brief Story Line

Alexander Hale (Simu Liu - Jackpot!Barbie etc) was working as an analyst for a spy organization called Orphanage that oversaw all intelligence agencies in the US. He had aspired to become a field agent but never got the chance till one day he was appointed to lead a special project by Director Peter Moira (Brian d'Arcy James - West Side Story, 13 Reasons Why TV series etc). Alexander's life seemed to be going for the better as he also befriended bartender Michelle (Melissa Barrera - Abigail, In the Heights etc), although his colleague Henry Cobb (Mark O'brien - Ready or NotAnon etc) suspected Alexander as a mole.

(Mini Series) Ca$hero - A Fun and Light Series About Ordinary People with Powers Based on Webtoon

I have been looking forward to this series which was released by Netflix last Friday due to its very interesting premise. So I began to watch it immediately on that day and managed to finish it the day after. OK then, let's just get right to the series.

Brief Story Line

Kang Sang-ung (Lee Jun-ho - Homme Fatale, The Red Sleeve TV series etc) was just an ordinary civil servant who had a long time girlfriend Kim Min-suk (Kim Hye-jun - A Shop for Killers TV series, Another Child etc) and had simple dream of gathering enough money to buy their own home. However his life was changed when he somehow gotten an amazing super power. Unfortunately it was directly linked with how much cash he was holding as every time he used the power, all the money would be physically drained. Obviously it was a super power that would complicate his life.

(2025) Anaconda - Hilarious Reboot of the Popular Horror Movie

When my wife and I saw glimpses of the trailer to this movie more than a week ago, obviously we wanted to see it as soon as we could. But since it was released on the day when we were not available, we only saw it two days ago on another movie marathon day. All right then, let's just get on with it.

Brief Story Line

Four childhood friends that consisted of Doug McCallister (Jack Black - A Minecraft MovieThe Super Mario Bros. Movie etc) who had been working as wedding videographer, small time actor Ronald Gtiffin (Paul Rudd - Ghostbusters: Frozen EmpireAnt-man and the Wasp: Quantumania etc), Claire Simmons (Thandiwe Newton - Mufasa: The Lion KingReminiscence etc) the lawyer and Kenny Trent (Steve Zahn - Eanie MeanieThe White Lotus TV series season 1 etc) were unhappy with their current lives. So when Griff told them he had acquired the rights for their favorite movie Anaconda, they decided to make an indie reboot of that film.
