NETFLIX HAVE ONLY GONE AND CANCELLED SENSE8!! WTF?



So I'm extremely overwhelmed with frustration right now as Netflix have just announced that Sense8 has been cancelled after two seasons, the news coming a week after The Get Down was axed after just one.

 What does this mean, well I will tell you what this bloody means. It means that not only had we all been waiting around desperately for an inordinate amount of time for season 2 to watch some of the most mindboggling, mouth-watering brilliance I have almost ever scene. We finally got to see it in its prime, after the slow build-up's had come to a cease and the action was going off with a bang. Things where all starting to make a lot more sense especially with the cluster hot on whispers tail (or was it the other way round???) it was all starting to flow. And now BOOM, taken away just like that, in a blink of an eye (what the fu**). Then there is the main problem.... What the fu** was gonna happen to Wolfgang ?

 The sci-fi series from The Matrix creators Lana and Lilly Wachowski was presumably struggling in terms of viewers, though Netflix doesn't publicly disclose its ratings. Even though they don't have a massive fan base (just shy of 100,000) they have got some great ratings, from the likes of imdb who gave it an 8.4/10 out of 87,000 people, rotten tomatoes have given it a 79% score and finally with the best rating out of the three is tv.com with 8.7/10.

 "After 23 episodes, 16 cities and 13 countries, the story of the Sense8 cluster is coming to an end," Cindy Holland, Netflix's vp original content, said in a statement. "It is everything we and the fans dreamed it would be: bold, emotional, stunning, kickass and outright unforgettable.

 "Never has there been a more truly global show with an equally diverse and international cast and crew, which is only mirrored by the connected community of deeply passionate fans all around the world. 

 "We thank Lana, Lilly, Joe and Grant [Hill] for their vision and the entire cast and crew for their craftsmanship and commitment."

 Sense8 joins the short list of other cancelled Netflix shows, alongside Marco Polo, Lilyhammer, Hemlock Grove, Bloodline and, most recently, The Get Down.

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!

• 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,
