Disgusting groomer plot.
11 April 2020
Not okay, this is supposed to be a love story. But the only reason the woman loves him is because he's been grooming her since she was 6. Don't watch it. Also how can time travel be made so boring? Only thing he learned from time travelling all his life is how to steal clothes and break things. And how to feel sorry for himself. Pathetic. Watch Predestination instead if you like time travel.

Cringey

Season 1: (rated 3) Dumb unlikable characters, unrealistic plot. Terrible dialogue and loads of cliches.

Edit: season 2 really picked up. A good Netflix production.

American Horror Story: Checking In (2015)
Season 5, Episode 1
9/10
Awesome

Warning: Spoilers
'Vampires? Not again!' is a thought that has crossed everyone's mind at least once when looking for a new series to watch. Surely, there's nothing to surprise the average viewer with at this point.

Returning with a bang, the pilot episode of the 5th season of American Horror Story proves this opinion wrong in many levels. The twisted plot, unique characters and striking camera angles have made this show one of the best in it's field. And the introduction to Hotel is no different.

Story starts with a police man, who had his son taken away mysteriously, investigating a series of disgusting murders, a suspect contacting him leading to a series of events making him end up in the ominous hotel Cortez where the median age of a murderer seems to be under 14.

Seeing Lady Gaga lying in bed with her lover and two corpses as well as a man killing his victims with a cone shaped strap on makes this vampire thriller memorable from the start.

Although using a well known pop star makes every word in their scenes a little bit pretentious, overall delivery of characters fits in the eerie boarders of this legendary show perfectly. Much thanks to the regular cast of the show who somehow fit in every role they play pulling you into every second even more with their remarkable acting abilities. Every character is a piece of art worth figuring out. The excellence of casting is definitely worth a mention.

Director Ryan Murphy's delivery gives addition with scenes like one of the hotel occupants walking down a corridor with a police man that is shot from the ground level making the man's robe flying almost hypnotizing and also finding ways to lose the viewer in the layout as well as making the location seem bigger.

In the end, you will be hooked and eager to return for the rest of the season of this legendary horror show. You will also probably will already have a favorite character to obsess over until the next time.

Exquisite Lithuanian film
31 May 2013
Great acting, interesting script and a structure easy to fallow.

If you're looking for a drama that reflects precisely on the eastern everyday life and a little more then this film is for you. It had what I look for in a drama - the display of plain beauty/horror of life and no pushed emotions. But without making it long and dull.

I found it similar to London to Brighton and Oranges and Sunshine.

It is a European production that keeps you interested throughout the whole story and has an ending with an emotion. You will not be bored or feel like you've waisted your time.

My only criticism would be the occasional poor camera work.

(This is my first review, hope it's useful.)
