Movie Rating
Well, I will start off by saying this. This movie was definitely not made in this time. It is definitely a product of its times. However, that being said, it is a fun and enjoyable film that had some laugh-out-loud moments for me. I thought that there were some great moments and that it was definitely worth the time.

"Another really great movie that I connected well to was Rabbit Proof Fence. This gave me a real understanding of what was the Stolen Generation, and my mum never really spoke about her being taken away, and it gave me an insight to what it must have been like for my mum and aunties and uncles to be taken away."

"I don’t respond well to being told what to do, so I slept on this for like six months and when I finally read it the emotions were so all-encompassing that I wept like a baby. Toxic female friendship? Check. Chronic illness? Check. Unbreakable pattern with unavailable man? CHECK! And written with a precision rarely credited to young female authors."

"We’re often talking about ParaNorman as being John Hughes meets John Carpenter, and that was intentional. It was to try and tell a spooky story that was almost… you know, we talked about it like being directed by Sam Raimi as well. It was to try and combine all those elements: All the angst of a movie set in high school, where your issues are more about, you know, being bullied by the kid who lives down the lane, but to couple that with a movie about the more fictional horrors of monsters. I like that play. They’re actually a really good marriage. I’ve talked about ParaNorman being the characters from The Breakfast Club dropped into the plot of The Fog — and The Fog, I would say, would be one of the other influential ones. Right from day one of writing, I think. I love that movie, as bad as it is…"

Mindhunter - Season 2
2019 | Crime, Drama
Great series
To my mind, this was a step down from the first series. While we get some well-deserved character development (Holden's mental issues and his reaction to being championed by the new chief; Tench's family issues and him being torn between family and work), the overall story felt like it dragged a little.
The profiling work was crammed into the first few episodes as the later ones focused on trying to catch the Atlanta child-killer. The portrayal of the case seemed very realistic, being long and drawn-out and having to wait for another body to turn up, but for a TV series it was a little dull. Given this is a weaving together of partly fictionalised versions of actual cases, some liberties could have been taken and more killer interviews added in, though I presume these are being saved for later series, of which I hope there are many.

Sex scenes
This tv show keeps you very intertained. It throws your emotions all over the place from being extremely happy to mad or sad in an instant. You wont want to stop watching. It is a mixture of old values being brought forth and conformity. I do not recommend people who have PTSD with rape involved because it might trigger something. The Sex scenes don't show much as well as very little nudity. Overall I do recommend this tv show.
