The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey (2022)

I honestly do not know why it took me so long to watch this series, but I have to say it grabs you from the first episode and keeps you well intrigued until the last episode. It deals with a man (SLJ) who has dementia and yet a doctor (WG) tests a drug on him that will allow him short amount of time of lucidity before his dementia sets back in and he uses this time to get his affairs in order... I do not want to spoil it but you can see from the cast of amazing actors that these people know what they are doing.. so I think it is worth a watch

The Madness Review: emotions from confusion to desperation

The Netflix series The Madness, starring Colman Domingo, has sparked a range of reactions from critics, highlighting both its strengths and weaknesses as a thriller.

Plot Overview

The series follows Muncie Daniels (played by Domingo), an occasional CNN contributor who becomes embroiled in a conspiracy after discovering the dismembered body of a far-right figure known as Brother14. As Muncie is framed for the murder, he finds himself on the run from hitmen while trying to clear his name. The narrative unfolds with a mix of political commentary and personal drama, exploring themes of media manipulation and conspiracy theories.

Strengths

Colman Domingo's Performance: Critics unanimously praise Domingo's portrayal of Muncie, noting his ability to convey a range of emotions from confusion to desperation. His performance is described as "powerful" and "engaging," providing a strong anchor for the series amidst its chaotic plot.

Supporting Cast: The ensemble cast, including John Ortiz and Marsha Stephanie Blake, adds depth to the narrative. Their performances help flesh out Muncie's backstory and the broader implications of the plot's themes.

Weaknesses

Convoluted Plot: Many reviews point out that the series suffers from a muddled storyline that raises more questions than it answers. Critics argue that the pacing is inconsistent, with some episodes feeling drawn out and lacking in tension. The initial intrigue quickly devolves into confusion as Muncie's actions often seem illogical and frustrating.

Dated Political Commentary: The series attempts to tackle contemporary political issues but is criticized for its lack of nuance. Critics feel that its portrayal of extremism and conspiracy theories feels outdated and superficial, failing to provide meaningful insights into these complex topics.

Inconsistent Tone: The series struggles with tonal balance, oscillating between serious thriller elements and moments that feel overly contrived or comedic. This inconsistency detracts from the suspense and emotional weight that could have been achieved.

Conclusion While The Madness showcases Colman Domingo's impressive acting skills and features a capable supporting cast, it ultimately falters due to a convoluted plot and superficial treatment of its themes. Viewers may find moments of intrigue, but many critics suggest that the series does not fully deliver on its potential as a gripping thriller. For those interested in Domingo's performance or the exploration of contemporary issues through a dramatic lens, it may still be worth watching; however, it may not resonate with everyone seeking a coherent narrative experience.

Top 5 Must-Watch Sci-Fi Movies Booming on Netflix Right Now

where every frame is a portal to limitless possibilities and extraordinary adventures. Discover the magic of the future, today!

In the Shadow of the Moon (2007) EW grade: A (read the review) Director: David Sington One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" was the phrase that echoed around the galaxy in July of 1969, when American astronauts emerged from Apollo 11 and took their first steps on the surface of the moon. In 2007, In the Shadow of the Moon, a British documentary premiered at Sundance, chronicling this history-making achievement and digging into the story behind the Apollo program through interviews with 10 astronauts from across the program's many missions. Featuring never before released footage, archival news reports, and the perspectives of some of the only people to see Earth from this remarkable vantage point, In the Shadow of the Moon is stranger than science fiction because it's completely true.

2, Oxygen (2021) EW grade: B (read the review) Director: Alexandre Aja Cast: Mélanie Laurent, Mathieu Amalric, Malik Zidi A nightmare come to life for claustrophobics everywhere, Oxygen is a French language sci-fi film that thinks outside the box in terms of action. At the genesis, an unidentified woman (Mélanie Laurent) awakens in an airtight medical unit, unsure of who or where she is. Interactions with the system's AI - dubbed M.I.L.O. (Medical Interface Liaison Officer) - provide some clarity as to her identity, but no matter what she tries, she cannot escape her prison. As she seeks to understand who placed her in the box and why, truths about her personal life and the current state of the world come into focus - but her search for context is actually a race to outwit the slowly depleting oxygen levels.

3. Project Power (2020) EW grade: B+ (read the review) Director: Ariel Schulman, Henry Joost Cast: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Jamie Foxx, Dominique Fishback, Machine Gun Kelly, Rodrigo Santoro, Courtney B. Vance, Amy Landecker What do a New Orleans police officer (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), a soldier in search of his daughter (Jamie Foxx), and a rapping drug dealer (Dominique Fishback, The Deuce) have in common? They're all working to rid the streets of Power, a new drug that gives users five minutes of superhero abilities, at the risk of killing them with one hit. A science fiction action film produced by Netflix, Project Power invites audiences into a city still suffering the after-effects of Katrina, even decades after the hurricane hit. Populated by morally murky characters - like Gordon-Levitt's Detective Frank Shaver, a cop who uses the drug to level the playing field against the city's criminals, or Fishback's teenage Robin Reilly, who knows she needs to deal to get ahead in this world, but is too smart to partake of her own product - the film finds room for cultural context amidst the action sequences.

4. See You Yesterday (2019) Director: Stefon Bristol Talent: Eden Duncan-Smith, Danté Crichlow, Marsha Stephanie Blake, Brian "Stro" Bradley The best way to live life with no regrets is to build a time machine - which is exactly what happens in Netflix's Spike Lee-produced sci-fi adventure film, See You Yesterday. After best friends and high school science prodigies C.J. and Sebastian unlock the secrets to time travel, they're forced to use their newfound invention in an attempt to save C.J.'s brother Calvin from a fatal encounter with the police. A modern take on Back to the Future - also featuring an appearance by the original time traveler, Michael J. Fox - the film grapples with highly relevant cultural issues like police brutality while still having fun with high school tropes and time loops. See You Yesterday might not have gotten the attention it deserved when it first premiered on the platform back in 2019.

5. Starship Troopers (1997) EW grade: B+ (read the review) Director: Paul Verhoeven Cast: Casper Van Dien, Dina Meyer, Denise Richards, Jake Busey, Neil Patrick Harris, Patrick Muldoon, Michael Ironside Fascist imagery and thudding allusions to World War II-era propaganda films permeate Paul Verhoeven's Starship Troopers, but because the provocative Dutch filmmaker didn't explicitly spell out his satire, it went over the heads of many upon its release. But time has been kind to the action-comedy, perhaps because its gleefully cynical portrait of nationalism and a war-hungry populace would resonate that much more in the years following 9/11 and the Iraq War. That said, those interested in the simpler pleasures of watching bugs go splat will also find plenty to like, from its gnarly, goo-slinging action set pieces to CGI effects that stand up to today's technology.
