Little or no plotholes

Went in with doubts, but amazed!

Avatar: The Last Airbender is without a doubt one of the finest shows I've ever seen. As I said, I went in with doubts as it is a children's show, but this is enjoyable for the whole family!

The show contains (in my opinion anyway) some of the finest storytelling in television history, with the story drawing inspiration from Chinese, Japanese, Inuit and Tibetan culture.

The characters are superb, with realistic character development, viewers find themselves getting more and more connected to them as the show goes on.

A beautifully made series and thoroughly enjoyable!

Emotional impactful

Emotionally insightful storytelling

This Netflix original was bound to be a hit with audiences from the get-go.
Starring the charismatic wonder Kevin Hart, the story follows a new dad struggling to come to the terms with the loss of his wife shortly after giving birth.
It goes on to show the importance of a decision, losing a loved one when there most needed, the struggles of parenting when feeling alone and most importantly-the importance of being a parent and guardian to a young one.

It is a sad but beautiful story, emotionally gritty, one about a depressed father struggling with acceptance and fatherhood.

Fun ninth Doctor set of stories that set up a truly interesting set of events. Hope this means good things for the upcoming full series. If they can keep up this level of storytelling and pacing, should be solid. For our full review see http://travelingthevortex.com/?p=6931

Deeply Moving

Makoto Shinkai has an amazing way of conveying deep human emotion through his films. In this film, he makes you feel the sadness of lost love, the wistfulness of bittersweet memories, and so much more.

Motherless Brooklyn was so good! This is my kinda movie. It's like Rain Man meets Chinatown. Period piece that looked amazing, superb storytelling, and an allstar cast bringing it all to life. Edward Norton, as usual, gives a killer performance. Definitely making my top ten list of 2019.
