-watched 8/16/2023- 3 stars- on Netflixdvd (Showtime)

In my opinion, this movie was hard to get into because of all the sci fi chaos that went on thoughout the film. Although, the ending summed it all up for me and made it worth watching.

Tạm biệt, Bay Resort Hoi An!

Ngày đầu đặt chân đến Bay Resort Hoi An, tôi đã xem đây như một gia đình. Trên công trường, trong ngổn ngang những vật liệu xây dựng, giữa những hành lang dẫn lối hun hút, tôi có cảm tưởng như mình đang lạc trong một khu chung cư thân thuộc ở Hà Nội. Cái cảm giác nhẹ nhõm dễ chịu len vào trong óc, khi được nhìn thấy những dây cúc tần Ấn Độ (lúc này) vẫn còn khá cũn cỡn nhưng rồi đây sẽ phủ xanh những hành lang rất "tình", rất đẹp.

Bay Resort Hoi An có một tầm nhìn về phía Phố Cổ không thể đẹp hơn. Khi tôi đặt bút viết USPs cho khu nghỉ dưỡng, cái "view" vàng này là một trong những thứ đầu tiên tôi hí hoáy đưa lên giấy. Từ hồ bơi của khu nghỉ dưỡng, nhìn về phía ốc đảo của Hoi An Night Market, hoàng hôn lúc nào cũng tô đỏ bầu trời. Trong một mẩu quảng cáo báo giấy, tôi tự tin sử dụng câu tagline "Nơi ngắm hoàng hôn đẹp nhất Miền Di Sản". Ở cái hồ bơi với gió sông lồng lộng thổi đó, chúng ta có thể thả diều, ăn kem cắt từ chiếc xe gỗ với tiếng chuông leng keng của khu nghỉ dưỡng, đọc thật chậm The Quiet American, hay với gọi một bạn barterder phục vụ cho mình ly cocktail "Rừng dừa bảy mẫu".

Bay Resort Hoi An rất đẹp. Cứ giương máy lên là chúng ta có hình đẹp. Và đôi khi cái sự đẹp này đưa tôi rơi vào thế khó xử. "Sao ông cứ làm thiết kế cho Hội An đẹp vậy?", trước câu hỏi của đồng nghiệp, tôi chỉ biết cười trừ. Tôi đâu cố tình làm nên cái đẹp này, mọi thứ ở đây diễn ra hết sức tự nhiên, như nó vốn phải thế. Người đi nhiều như nhiếp ảnh gia Đỗ Sỹ còn không tiếc lời khen cho khu nghỉ dưỡng kia mà.

Trái với vẻ hoài cổ bên ngoài, phòng khách ở Bay Resort Hoi An rất xinh xắn, lịch thiệp. Hai cái villa đúng nghĩa "biệt thự", vì tụi nó "bự thiệt" và dịch vụ kèm theo thì miễn bàn. Bạn có thể nằm lười xem Netflix, thi thoảng ngó bâng quơ ra khoảng sân đầy nắng và mảnh sông Thu Bồn, nơi tiếng tàu gỗ phành phạch vang lên mỗi chiều nắng dội. Khi làm phim quảng cáo cho Bay Resort Hoi An, tôi nghĩ nhiều đến phim L'Amant (1992), với nhiều cảnh quay trên dòng Mekong.

Dân copywriter thường sử dụng "Best of both worlds" để chỉ những thứ pha trộn sự tốt đẹp của hai điều khác nhau, lắm khi tương phản. Ở Bay Resort Hoi An, bạn có thể tận hưởng trọn vẹn sự huyên náo của Phố Cổ (chỉ cách resort 5 phút đi bộ) lẫn những phút giây thanh bình trong khu nghỉ dưỡng. Nếu đây không là "Best of both worlds", tôi chẳng biết điều gì mới là ví dụ cho phải lẽ.

Giờ thì tôi phải tạm biệt nơi đã cho mình nhiều lưu luyến. Sẽ nhớ mãi món pasta với xốt quế tây, bông atisô, ô liu và ớt của chef Huy Phạm. Và công việc dang dở "promote" chef Huy vươn đến vị thế tương xứng, tôi xin nhường lại cho người khác. Đành tạm biệt anh EAM lừng danh Brian Nguyên một thời gian. Không còn những giờ tha thẩn ở Breathe Spa, trò chuyện với khách Âu khách Hàn. Sẽ nhớ những buổi cà phê vội với người đàn ông có gương mặt khá cau có, nhưng nhiệt huyết công việc thì có thừa: anh Trung M&S. Chocolate chị Thúy cho ăn thử hình như ngon hơn ngoài tiệm. Tôi vẫn không hiểu sao Hưng Quy có thể làm việc với những con số trong phong thái điềm đạm như vậy. Vi hát hay như Lệ Quyên. Dàn lễ tân tài năng bắn tiếng Anh tiếng Trung như thể sắp tham gia "presidential debate" đến nơi. Đội F&B lúc nào cũng hồ hởi thăm hỏi khi tôi uống cà phê muối. Chị Tina với bầu năng lượng khủng khiếp. Đội Sales uy tín dạn dày kinh nghiệm và cái phòng làm việc dưới hầm bao giờ cũng tạo ra một không khí khẩn trương, nghiêm túc. Chị Lệ quản lý nhân viên bằng "tình thương". Chị Sương chỉ cười một nụ là chiều hôm đó bookings đổ về như... sung rụng. Chị Phương với tấm lòng "cơm bưng nước rót" vào mỗi giờ trưa. Anh Trịnh hát giọng còn trầm hơn Xuân Hảo... (Xin đừng phiền lòng nếu tôi thiếu sót, quên cảm ơn một anh chị nào đã cùng làm nên phần đời này...)

Vì quá hiểu nghề, anh chị em Bay Resort Hoi An đạt đến cảnh giới mới trong công việc, họ làm cùng nhau ăn ý như thể Scholes chuyền cho Ryan Giggs mà không cần nhìn. Họ làm ung dung (trông là vậy!) nhưng hiệu quả thì vượt trội.

Những buổi chiều tà và hoa trong vườn mãi "nhiệt tình" khoe sắc. Cầu Cẩm Nam. Cô bán nước. Nắng xuyên qua các ô họa tiết vẽ lên tường những hình thù Đông Dương. Con gà trống nhà hàng xóm. Ông khách Úc bị chó cắn. Sự cố nửa đêm trên Naver. Những bữa trưa trong chợ Hội An. Tiệc liên hoan cuối năm... Thật vui vì tất cả giờ này trở thành những kỷ niệm đẹp.

Tôi viết thế này khi giới thiệu về Bay Resort Hoi An: "Bay Resort Hoi An is like a train, carrying you back to the prime era of the historic port town of Hoi An, brimming with memories." (Bay Resort Hoi An là một chuyến tàu, chở chúng ta về thời hoàng kim của Phố Hội) Chuyến tàu ấy đã lăn bánh rồi, nó sẽ trôi về quá vãng để nhường chỗ cho những chuyến tàu tươi mới hơn, chở khách về phía trước. Sự thay đổi là tất yếu nhưng chúng, dĩ nhiên, cũng sẽ mang đến những nuối tiếc không tên.

Sau này, nếu có ngày trở lại, tôi hình dung mình sẽ tần ngần một hồi lâu bên cổng resort, hít một hơi thật sâu, trước khi bước vào để đón nhận những sự đổi mới ngay tại nơi mình từng gọi là nhà.

Loki Season 2 reviews are in! While critics still praise the Tom Hiddleston series… the reviews are not quite as good as Season 1

With just two days left before Season 2 of Loki debuts on Disney Plus, the first wave of reviews have come in… and they're not quite as positive as Season 1.

Loki - which continues the adventures of Tom Hiddleston's God of Mischeif title character - debuted in June 2021 with a 92% score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes.

While most of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's first TV shows on Disney Plus were considered one-offs, Loki was the first to get a second season, and later touted by Marvel President Kevin Feige as the 'most-watched' Marvel Studios series.

Now the reviews are in for Season 2 ahead of its October 5 debut on Disney Plus, with a slightly-lower 82% score from the first 50 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.

The involvement of Jonathan Majors, who returns as Kang, amid his arrest for domestic violence, was also troubling for many critics.

Rolling Stone's Alan Sepinwall called Majors, 'the big problem' with the season in his negative review published Tuesday.

'It’s not his performance, which remains a weirdly compelling live-wire act, full of odd, halting line deliveries and twitchy physicality. Instead, it’s the ugly real-world circumstances surrounding him,' Sepinwall began.

'After the season was filmed, Majors was arrested and charged with domestic violence against his romantic partner, which led to Rolling Stone uncovering a pattern of alleged abusive behavior going back a decade. Majors was set to play the big bad for the next few phases of the MCU. Instead, it’s impossible to imagine him ever appearing in a Marvel project after this one,' he added.

ComicBook.com's Nicole Drum gave the season a positive review (3.5 stars out of 5), but even she admitted something felt off, compared to Season 1.

'Season 2 definitely doesn’t suffer from the pitfalls that would make people continue to question if superhero fatigue is real or not, but through characterizations, pacing, and too much self-awareness, it definitely feels like a very different show,' she said.

She said the first episode debuting on Thursday, 'is hectic, throwing new concepts, characters, and threats into the story with little explanation and little reason for fans to be invested.'

'When the premiere does try to stop and ruminate on what Loki just experienced in the Season 1 finale, the end result becomes rushed and confusing,' she continued, adding the, 'overstuffed and slightly frenetic chaos' sets the tone in the four episodes (of the six-episode season) that were screened for critics.

Mashable's Belen Edwards added in her negative review that Season 2 delved into the first season's worst aspects.

'Instead of digging into what makes Loki fun, the show's second season doubles down on Season 1's worst tendencies… It's a drag when it should be thrilling, an exposition-filled trudge when it should be an exciting romp,' she said.

USA Today's Brian Truitt gave Loki Season 2 a positive review (3 stars out of 4), stating, 'Sometimes you feel like you need a theoretical physics degree to understand it all. Strong character work makes up for some of that, as does a knowing sense of humor.'

He added the new season, 'couldn't come sooner, as the Marvel Cinematic Universe films are starting to feel a little repetitive and a plethora of disparate TV series haven't helped.'

IGN Movies' Jarrod Jones gave the season a negative review (5 of 10), adding, 'Tom Hiddleston’s Loki is back for more multiversal shenanigans, but the absence of director Kate Herron seems to have sapped the wily fun from his Disney+ spinoff.'

Like many reviews - even the negative ones - Jones praised the addition of newly-minted Oscar winner Ke Huy Quan.

Quan plays a Time Variance Authority (TVA) 'basement-dwelling repair guy' named Ouroboros, 'whose jovial presence gives Season 2 a much-needed boost from its overall mopey tone.'

ComicBookMovie's Josh Wilding called Season 2, 'a masterclass in imaginative storytelling' adding the show represents, 'the MCU at its best and a riveting new chapter in the Multiverse Saga that’s mind-bending, monumental, and utterly marvellous,' adding, 'and as a bonus, Ke Huy Quan is a scene-stealing delight!'

Collider's Therese Lacson added, 'Season 1 was well-loved, and with a fan-favorite character like Hiddleston’s God of Mischief at the helm, Season 2 proves that the series not only hasn’t lost its touch but remains one of the stronger pillars of the MCU as a whole.'

However The Daily Beast's Nick Schager said in his negative review, 'Its convolutions overwhelming its charming personalities and freewheeling spirit of paradox-laden adventure, it’s another indication that the once-mighty franchise has lost its direction.'

London Evening Standard's Vicky Jessop added, 'It's all a bit wearying' when describing the entirety of the season that was screened for critics.

Indenpendent UK's Louis Chilton added, 'More than anything, Loki has started to resemble what it truly is: an ill-advised spinoff in the old tradition. A too-bright spotlight for a side character who was never best suited to lead. A dinner comprising only hors d’oeuvres.'

'Loki season two is a jaw-dropping magical experience that will ultimately leave you clamoring for more, with high stakes twists and turns that’ll keep you on the edge of your seat!' added ComicBookMovie's Rohan Patel.
