SENSE 8 SEASON 2 IS OUT ON NETFLIX RIGHT NOW! AAAAHH!

Netflix’s dazzling and dizzying sci-fi series “Sense8” is finally fu**ing back for Season 2 today, so it’s going to be dominating a lot of people’s weekend.
And honestly, it should probably dominate your weekend, too.
The sprawling, immersive drama about psychically-linked strangers will likely only be bigger and better than ever this time around.
It’s been nearly two years since the first season of “Sense8” dropped on Netflix, so fans have had a lottt of time to mull over those serious cliffhangers.
Like, how is Will going to go on with Whispers now in his head? Are Wolfgang and Kala really not going to get together? And is Sun just never going to get out of that prison?
Thankfully, a two-hour holiday special aired at the end of 2016 to give us a little more insight into what’s going on with the sensates, but there’s still a lot that we need season two to cover for us. Mostly, though, it’ll just be good to get back into the lush, expansive universe that the Wachowskis created.
If you’re not already on board to start bingeing “Sense8” now on Netflix and here are some reasons why you should consider it.
1) Action

Though it plays with genre constantly, “Sense8” is an action thriller at its core. Thanks to the fact all the main characters can channel Sun, a world-class kickboxing champion, you never know just when some badass fight scene is right around the corner!
2) The inclusive romances

Those eight-person sex scenes aren’t the only thing about “Sense8” that’s all-inclusive.
The show has also won a GLAAD Media Award for showing a vast array of sexual identities and relationships. For instance, Nomi is a trans woman in a relationship with a cis woman, and Lito is a gay man forced to hide his boyfriend and pretend to date a woman for his career.
3) The inventive Sci-fi

The hook of the show is just as interesting now as it was before it premiered: How can these random eight people from all over the world communicate and take over each others’ bodies at will? It’s a totally fresh and unique story that you really want to see unfold.
4) The answers 

The biggest reason to get into Season 2 of “Sense8”?
Well, for everyone who watched Season 1, it’s obviously to finally get some answers as to what’s going on with everyone!
In the finale, we saw Whispers has found his way into Will’s mind and in the special, we see he’s turned to heavy heroin use to keep the villain at bay.  Obviously, that’s not a sustainable solution, so what’s going to happen? Are all the sensates going to team up again to go after him? Will they ever learn how they’re all linked? Ahhh!!

Paul Thomas Anderson Week: 'There Will Be Blood' Review!

• There Will Be Blood, 2007 • 8.2/10 • Firstly, I would like to start with Daniel Day Lewis' mesmerizing performance as the ruthless oil prospector, Daniel Plainview. The scumbag cons local landowners into selling their valuable land for pittance, and then he comes along like a "straw" and "sucks it all up," leaving him very wealthy and everyone else in his way. Paul Dano, Wow, do you really expect anything less than magic when it comes to him acting, he's a true tour de force. I wish we had preachers like Eli Sunday up at my local church. Johnny Greenwood's score is brilliant, it really gets under your skin, you then combine that with the gorgeous cinematography, smart screenplay and the brilliant acting, you then have yourself a film where even if your not paying complete attention, you will still hate the lead by the end, all the same! Yeah, I did just say that. I'm sorry peeps but it got a little boring at times (it didn't keep me hook

'Tomb Raider' Review: First Successful Game Adaptation! Kudos!

Image
• Tomb Raider, 2018 • 7.9/10 • Alicia Vikander gives Lara depth and personality much like Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones. She's vulnerable, but she's also stubborn and focused to survive on her own and has never lost hope that she'll once again see her father. The story is built on the reboot of the video game series, but takes another way after the arrival at the destination where most of the action takes place. When the story follows the video game it has weaknesses (as so many games adaptations do), but when it stands on its own, it shows glimpses of coming adventures for Lara Croft that makes you want more -- much because of Vikanders grounded performance. The script is by no means perfect, the CGI was a bit spotty in places, and yes there are a few cliches and overused story devices here and there, but overall it is an enjoyable film and our first successful game adaptation! Yesss! P.S - Dominc West was the perfect choice for Mr. Croft!

'Love, Simon' Review: What A Nice Surprise!

Image
• Love, Simon • Spoiler-Free • 8.7/10 • Well, what a surprise.... Don't get me wrong, the story of 'Love, Simon' has pretty much all been done before, just not executed as well. Bar the classic stereotypes and some cheesy moments, this film had me laughing out loud and crying even louder! Tbh when you watch a film like this, you normally expect it to try to be, too clever, too cute and too precious, but boy I have never been so far off the mark. The intelligence, depth, and charm were all legitimate and sincere here and it truly made the film into something rather special. It's funny, sweet, caring, true, real, and should pretty much be labelled a "True Story" for all its worth. The acting on all accounts was second-to-none but Josh Duhamel had the biggest tear-jerking scene going! I was sobbing like a real man! And Nick Robinson was believable and nothing short of phenomenal! Kudos! If you can get past the cheese-factor, you will definetly Love,
