The Viking setting is something I have come to enjoy recently and to see some dragon action was also a treat. I especially like the feline characteristics that the dragons have!jerlamarel in # lupin • 5 yr. ago • 1 min readLupin Returns SoonLupin, a hot topic on Netflix. For me, so far it's been good but just that. The second part has been announced to arrive in the summer of 2021. I've even seen theories of other characters entering the fray. Sherlock Holmes? Perhaps, time will tell.jerlamarel in # netflix • 5 yr. ago • 1 min readLast Kingdom Season 2Continuing a binge of the Last Kingdom, BBC's shaky camera improves and comes into its own element during battle scenes. I would summarise season 2 as a rollercoaster of anticipation and sacrifice across the board. Uthred's character changes after certain events and going into season 3, the themes of loyalty and justice will prevail it seems.…jerlamarel in # netflix • 5 yr. ago • 1 min readLupin Ends on SuspenseWithout giving much away, I will say that Lupin is an enjoyable watch. The plot is simple enough to follow without trying hard to twist and turn. Part one has ended on a cliff-hanger and I'll be watching the next part for sure. It's not the greatest show out on Netflix but it's highly enjoyable and the second part may exceed!jerlamarel in # movies • 5 yr. ago • 1 min readGodzilla Vs KongClash of titans, or kaiju. Whatever you want to call it. The latest trailer for the upcoming monster battle just released and it's full of CGI goodness. I'm not looking for a particularly deep and involving story this time round. Just some hype fights and more screen time of my favorites. What team are you on?jerlamarel in # netflix • 5 yr. ago • 1 min readRevisiting The Last KingdomAfter a few years of following the Last Kingdom, it's been a while since I have gone through the first season. Going back and rewatching Utrhed's early ordeal and encounters is great. One thing I've noticed without much thought before is how much camera shaking there is in the early episodes. On a bigger screen perhaps this effect is…jerlamarel in # netflix • 5 yr. ago • 1 min readWitty Criminals - LupinWith some free time and the months getting colder by the day, I have finally put a few new picks on my Netflix watch list. Kicking it all off is Lupin, a French series that takes strong inspiration from the stories of Arsene Lupin. After watching the first episode, I must say it was a fun watch. Perhaps a little linear but there are some…jerlamarel in # movies • 5 yr. ago • 1 min readA Fatality or VictoryMortal Kombat, an iconic series. For me, Mortal Kombat games, animated series and movies are definitely worth hyping over. The refresh of the Mortal Kombat movie coming in the near future with an R rating. Recent screens don't reveal too much and one can only cross their fingers in anticipation. Hopefully it won't fall flat into a fatality.jerlamarel in # norse • 5 yr. ago • 1 min readBinge it OutTo all my fellow tv binge watchers, if you're inside for another few weeks then there might not be much evening entertainment on the board. It's time to spend some time on IMDB and the Netflix guide to pick something new up. I am in the mood for some Norse Mythology I think!jerlamarel in # movies • 5 yr. ago • 1 min readAnimation Evolves and MaintainsA big part of cinema for me comes in the way of animation. In fact, many modern films have had some sort of animation used in scenes. CGI has come far and the year is now 2021 where things look better than ever. But I also appreciate where studios retain their heritage and styles for decades. It's an identity that cannot be forgotten.jerlamarel in # subtitles • 5 yr. ago • 1 min readThank Gawd For SubtitlesGoddamn I have to say, watching foreign media in its original form is one of the best ways to consume foreign cinema. A foreign language, culture and much more conveyed through media is powerful enough. But the support of ample subtitling makes the experience ever more enjoyable. Thank you all subbers!jerlamarel in # movies • 5 yr. ago • 1 min readPremium on Premium ServicesOver the past few months I have noticed an interesting influx in premium content on primarily subscription based media viewing. Netflix has offered me all I want to see for no extra charge outside my usual screens. Yet elsewhere we see extra expenditure sometimes required to view exclusive content.

This time round they've set up a UK team to bring a new line of production to the platform and there are many star actors in the collection. 2021 might be the entertainment industry's…jerlamarel in # movies • 6 yr. ago • 1 min readSpider-Man Gets HypeWhen we think of crazy crossovers in the superhero universe we might think of the avengers, justice league and whatever else.

Added privacy and content unblock have been the highlights for me. Many have also benefitted from lower prices but this isn't why I use a VPN.
