Little Brother - A Little Better than the Recent Raunchy Comedy Movies

When this movie was released on Friday by Netflix, I was busy finishing another series. Although it did not look to have good quality, I was still interested to give a try since it starred John Cena. So I straight away watch it once I finished that series yesterday. All right then, let's just get on with the film.

Brief Story Line

Successful house realtor Rudd Landy (John Cena - Heads of StateFerdinand etc) was very excited when he was invited to star in a big reality TV show produced by Olly (Caleb Hearon - The Devil Wears Prada 2 etc) and Leonore (Ego Nwodim - Mr. Throwback sitcom etc). Rudd's wife Deirdre (Michelle Monaghan - The Family Plan 2Patriots Day etc) and his assistant Mia (Sherry Cola - A Family Affair, Nobody Wants This TV series etc) were very supportive of him, despite his reluctance when he found out that his older brother Josh (Christopher Meloni - Law & Order: Special Victims Unit TV series, Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle etc) was heavily mentioned in the show's promo.

Supergirl - Not The Most Spectacular Superhero Movie but Still Pretty Decent and Entertaining Introduction to Superman's Cousin

I was looking forward to see this movie for the past few weeks but it was such a big challenge. Ever since its advance ticket sale last week, I wanted to buy tickets for its premier date but it did not play in my favorite cinema for watching blockbuster movie. When it played there on the following day, I could not go because of previous engagement. Sadly the cinema did not play the film anymore when I was finally available yesterday. So I decided to just see it in the theater near our home with my wife. OK without further ado, here's more on the movie.

Brief Story Line

Kara Zol-El aka Supergirl (Milly Alcock - House of the Dragon TV series, The School etc) had been going through phase in life where she did not feel happy and just drinking herself across galaxies in places where she could get drunk. This made her cousin Clark Kent/Superman (David Corenswet - Look Both Ways, We Own This City mini series etc) always felt worried about her. One day she met a young girl named Ruthye (Eve Ridley - Emerald TV series etc) who was trying to get revenge on group of space pirates called Brigands led by the vicious Krem (Matthias Schoenaerts - The Old Guard, Django TV series etc). Despite her reluctance to be involved, it became personal for Kara when Krem did an unexpected thing.

(TV SERIES) Reboot - A Mystery Thriller Series With Multiple Plot Twists Which Should Please Fans of Such Attributes

As I said in my recent posts there were a lot of new series and movies on Netflix in the past week that interest me. This Japanese series had all its episodes released in one go just last Tuesday with a rather cryptic but sounded intriguing premise. So I decided to give it a try 3 nights ago and managed to finish it the day after. OK now, let's just head to the series.

Brief Story Line

Hayase Riku (Kenichi Matsuyama - Death Note, 1 Litre of Tears TV series etc) was a pattisier whose wife had been missing for 2.5 years and had to raise his young son together with his mother (Mieko Harada - Viral Hit TV series etc). When the body of his wife was found dead, police detective Gidou (Ryohei Suzuki - City Hunter, Segodon TV series etc) was assigned to investigate the case. Unfortunately for Hayase, the police suspected him for the murder.
