(TV SERIES) Scarpetta Season 1 - Could Have Been Better with More Technical Aspects and Less Dysfunctional Family Drama

As I was away for two weeks holiday, I was unable to catch new movies. And since I only got home late from all the walking around daily, I had very little time to see series at nights. However, last night I finally managed to finish a mystery series that was released on Prime Video since almost 2 weeks ago. So even though it's quite late, but I still want to write something about this series. All right then, let's just get right on it.

Brief Story Line

Story was told in two different timelines 28 years apart. In the present day, Dr. Kay Scarpetta (Nicole Kidman - Holland, A Family Affair etc) was just reappointed as Virginia's Chief Medical Examiner when a woman's body was found and her expertise was required to identify the cause of death. Kay enlisted her old colleague former Detective Pete Marino (Bobby Cannavale - Blonde, Super Intelligence etc) to assist her in specialist capacity. However Kay's work was sometimes a bit disturbed with her personal family issue from her older sister Dorothy (Jamie Lee Curtis - Haunted Mansion 2023, Knives Out etc) who she always had a fight with, to her niece/Dorothy's daughter the Tech genius Lucy (Ariana DeBose - Kraven the Hunter, Love Hurts etc) and Kay's husband the FBI profiler Benton Wesley (Simon Baker - The Mentalist TV series, Margin Call etc).

(2026) War Machine - A Highly Entertaining Full Action Sci-Fi Movie

I was aware about this movie since few weeks ago which totally interest me with its premise and lead star. Being major fan of action combined with some kind of science fiction element, made me very excited to watch it. That's why when it was released by Netflix on last Friday, I immediately gave it a try despite feeling a bit tired after seeing 2 films in a row in the cinema. Without further ado, here's more on the movie.

Brief Story Line

During the latest Ranger Assessment and Selection Program (RASP) a lot of candidates were trying their best to become part of the elite team,  including the experienced Staff Sergeant & war survivor who was referred to as 81 (Alan Ritchson - Playdate, Titans TV series etc). After a very intense 8 weeks program, many of the candidates were not selected, leaving only few who succeeded. For their final simulated exercise, 81 was appointed as team leader along with another Staff Sergeant referred to as 7 (Stephan James - 21 Bridges, Homecoming TV series etc), the loud mouth 15 (Blake Richardson - He Ain't Heavy etc), 44 (Alex King - The Longest Weekend etc), 57 (Daniel Webber - The Punisher TV series etc) and some others in a remote location.

Project Y - A Very Dark, Intense and Heavy Crime Thriller Movie

This movie was supposed to be released in all Indonesian cinemas on Friday, but in the morning when my wife and I were choosing where to see, we were surprised that it was not available in the biggest cinema chain. Hence we decided to see two other movies while postponing this the following day. Later that noon, the movie suddenly appeared on the list of that particular chain, however since we already bought other tickets, we only saw it on Saturday. All right then, let's just get on with the film.

Brief Story Line

Story focused on two women who were very close like sisters, i.e the calm straight thinking Mi-sun (Han Soo-hee - Gyeongseong Creature, Nevertheless TV series etc) who was working as escort girl and the impatient strong willed Do-kyung (Jeon Jong-seo - Ballerina, Queen Woo TV series etc) who worked as driver. They had saved all their money to start their own business. Unfortunately their plan was ruined due to some unforeseen circumstances.
