Gotta catch em all
Released back in 1998 following it's extremely successful t.v. series, pokemon: the first movie (Mewtwo strikes back) sees main characters Ash, Pikachu, Brock & Misty receive an invitation from a mysterious Host, with the destination point being the middle of the ocean.
Upon arriving, things quickly become clear that nothing is quite as it seems & that genetically engineered pokemon known as Mewtwo is in control & will stop at nothing to rule the world without humans.

This is a very mature movie which is incredible considering that its based on a rather friendly children's tv show.

An emotionally caring plot, that can still leave you teary eyed today.

Great crime drama that feels very cinematic ?
I am not big into TV shows however after watching the first two seasons of Ozark I was immediately hooked. Season three is equally as good if not better than previous two. For one, every character's actions have consequences that contribute to the larger story as whole. Additionally, the intensity in each episode is raised just a bit enough to keep the audience from predicting what will happen next. If you thought season 2 was a bit slower, season three definitely takes it up a couple of notches. I am excited for future seasons and give the show my high praise.

2021 | Action, Drama
The second of Marvel's post-Endgame TV shows s on Disney+ (after WandaVision), and this is a very different beast to its predecessor.

Whereas WandaVision was a (at times, plain weird) sitcomesque format with a central mystery of just what the heck is going on, this sets its stall out right from the start, with the show exploring the ramifications of what-is-now-known-as The Blip, whole also spending a large portion of the episodes dealing with Captain America's legacy, and with the super-soldier serum that first made him.

It also brings back some old characters from the movies (hello, Zemo. Hello, Sharon Carter) giving them further characterisation than they have had to date.

"I’m a very bad TV watcher, meaning I rarely watch more than one episode of any given show, and I usually don’t even make it that far. I downloaded all the episodes of this to watch on a flight and had I not been stuck on a plane and forced into finishing the series, I likely would’ve missed out on one of my favorite viewing experiences this year. The moment in the elevator when the two leads first meet overwhelmed me to the point of tears. It so perfectly summed up that feeling of realization you have when you meet your soul mate, romantic or otherwise: “I’m not alone in the world.”"
