Law & Order: SVU S22

SVU premiered the year I got my green card and has been a staple since I moved to the states. The holidays meant binging on SVU marathons.

I was worried that post the anti-police movement of 2020 would make cop shows canceled or obsolete. I'm glad SVU is still going strong. S23 just concluded and it just got renewed for 2 more.

S22 set mostly over the pandemic does do a sensitive reckoning of policing. It combines some ripped from the headlines moments to introspect on the implicit biases that even good cops have. SVU is also one of the few shows that have done a good job of addressing male victims of domestic and sexual violence, without teetering into misogyny territory.

Also, there is the return of Stabler. He's not coming back as a regular but for his own spin-off. But it's good to see him back. But SVU also brilliantly uses his return to explore the evolution of policing. I loved Stabler and cheered him on when he would pummel a pedophile, but in retrospect, I know that his hot-blooded behavior is one of the problems with policing. I love how the Law & Order franchise uses Stabler to explore the shift.

In which episode do Stabler and Benson actually reveal their feelings for each other? I’ve waited 23 years. Put me out of my misery please

Top Gun

Since Top Gun: Maverick is getting a lot of buzz, I decided to watch the old classic. It's a good tp movie with good-looking guys and air combat action. I think Danger Zone makes the movie.

Everything Everywhere All At Once

If somebody is in the US/UK and has still not seen it, please do yourself a favor and go watch it before Jurassic World takes it out of theaters. I have seen it a couple of times now and it's the most stimulating theatrical outing I have had in a long time. I need to find out what they were on, when they wrote this, cuz it must be a holy experience in itself. 😆

Not in S22. IDK about 23. I'll let you know when I watch it.

Top gun 2

The action and flight scenes were better than the first one. I preferred the love story in the first one though. Great music too Lady Gaga never disappoints

Bhool Bhulaiya 2: Good film, second half was more enjoyable. The comedy was pretty lame, so I liked it for the horror aspect. Movie is no where close to the original, but if you’re looking to get entertained, with some jump scenes, then this is the movie for you. Karthik was pretty good. I was pleasantly surprised to note that he has quite a sexy voice.

Fresh (2022)

Genre: Horror/Thriller

The most fked up movie of 2022 so far. The movie explores how modern dating is fked up on so many levels and how things could go wrong in a minute if you're not all eyes and ears out. I loved the fact that the movie was written and directed by women. It's a fun and revolting take on fetishization and has subtle nuances to modern day idiosyncrasies when it comes to relationships and dating. Cinematography is great, the sound track is perfect and atmosphere gets set perfectly from the beginning. The sense of foreboding is brilliantly depicted. Sebastian Stan is a revelation. He's proved yet again that there's more to him than just MCU.

It's not for the faint of heart though, because it could get disgusting and distrubing at certain points. If you have a sensitive stomach you'll puke your guts out.

All said, if you're gonna watch it, go in blind. Do not read up about the movie. It'd be a fun treat.

As we see it

Genre: Comedy/Drama

The show revolves around three young adults on the spectrum figuring out life with the help of an aide. Such an endearing and poignant piece of art. You'll laugh, cry and rejoice.

5/5

Venom 2

I loved it nice vfx and story.
