Beyond is another Netflix’s story of supra natural. This series is not about my favourite time travelling but I also do not mind some supra natural themes. If I had a coin for every time I wished I had a supra-natural ability of any kind (e.g. guess lottery numbers or read people’s minds) I would

Travelers are back to Netflix. I did not write about this series when it was first broadcast because I did not see it on time, but I did watch the second season last night as soon as it was released. For those who haven’t watched season one, the series is about a group of agents

Erased has been on Netflix for a while, however, I haven’t watched it because it is not an English series and thus viewer needs to deal with subtitles. Meanwhile, I forgot about it but then after publishing a review of a wonderful series “Timeless” (review available here ) one of my Facebook friends alerted me

Timeless has been on Netflix for a while, but I haven’t seen it until now. What a waste would it been if I failed to see it during 2017 and if I was unable to blog about it (since I blog about new programme only). The series is amazing, and I am half way through

Director: Martin Campbell Rating: 2/5 I watched this film a few days ago on Netflix, but did not have the time to write about it until now. It was an interesting film, but I was also annoyed a few times. The story is basically centred on Quan Ngoc Minh (Jackie Chan) who is trying to revenge the

Director: Jim Gable and Barbra Streisand Rating: 5/5 This documentary on the work of Barbra Streisand fully entitled Barbra: The Music…The Mem’ries…The Magic! is a Netflix original and Barbra co-directed and co-produced the film. Nevertheless, this was a Netflix concert specially made to celebrate her career and rich life, and it is worth watching also because Barbra said

Director: Gerard McMurray Rating: 4/5 Burning Sands is a new film on Netflix that tackles fraternities on US campuses. In the case of this film, the focus is on black fraternity called Lambda Tau and applicants also call it brotherhood. These brotherhoods are a black equivalent to white fraternities. What is common to both types of

Director: Mary Mazzio Rating: 5/5 This film has also been on Netflix for a while, but I watched it now. A must watch for everyone who opposes human trafficking (and I hope everyone does). Unlikely for other similar films, this one does not just narrate stories of victims but also shows a legal battle that victims

Director: Tommy O’Haver Rating: 4/5 This film has been on Netflix for two months or so, but I only watched it now. It is certainly worth watching because it tackles an important issue. That important issue is secularism. Thus, in the US it used to be mandatory to pray in schools and morning prayers were

Director: Ron Scalpello Rating: 4/5 My Name is Lenny is a new film on Netflix based on a true story. Thus, we follow the life of Lenny McLean, one of Britain’s bare-knuckle fighters famous for his notorious aggressiveness and brutality. However, the film does not project just the aggressive behaviour and fights. It also goes

Time traveling lovers wait no more. A great new series on time traveling is on Netflix. This series comes from German production and it has no subtitles. Thus, you will find yourself surprised at first when you see characters moving their lips differently than what they are actually saying. However, you get used to it

Dynasty is a Netflix’s remake of a popular soap Dynasty. Many of us grew up with this series and even though I liked original dynasty when I was a child I had nearly no interest in watching the remake. Therefore, the series came to its seventh episode before I watched it (for blogging purposes only).

Director: Alex Israel Rating: 1/5 SPF-18 has been on Netfix for a couple of weeks or so now, and I watched it last night. I honestly do not know what to say about this, because there is sadly not that much to say. The film barely has a story, and as if this is not
