To All The Boys: P.S. I still love you

To All The Boys: P.S. I still love you - Review

I wasn't sure if I should write a review about something I didn't fully watch. Perhaps I shouldn't, but I'll risk it anyway. While the first movie was beautiful and romantic, this one was… boring. So boring, I stopped watching it after the first half of the film.

I'm sorry for the fans. I'm disappointing you, or you'll like it anyway. I don't know. As I said, I loved the first one, but in this one… nothing interesting happens! I went halfway into the movie and nothing! I usually don't say this without much more explanations, but it is boring!

Teenage Insecurities and Doubts

Lara Jean continues insecure. Yes, she is a teenager, and all of us can relate to it. Yet, this is a piece of entertainment. I would rather see more development in the character.

Now, she has a boyfriend, and she finds out that there is no such thing as a perfect relationship. It is a disappointment to Lara Jean since her goal in the first movie was to find one for herself.

To add even more confusion into her mind, she is about to have a surprise. She encounters another of her crushes in her volunteer work in a retirement house—the only unanswered letter from the first movie. As any teenager (okay, most of them), she realizes that she doesn't know what she wants.

Romantic COMEDY

Well, as I only watched half of the movie, I could imagine that in the second part, there are a lot of funny moments. But I doubt it.

One thing fun here? The old lady in the retirement house. It looked to me that she was the best character in the whole movie.

Tiring

It is romantic. It isn't supposed to be real, right? The positive point is still the fact that shows us the mind of a teenage girl, from who everything is new, and any problem can be the end of the world.

But it is tiring. It is not fun, as far as I was able to watch. The relationship with Lara Jean's sisters is lost. To the point I watched, they barely show up. The youngest one was the best part of the first movie! It's a significant loss.

There is still a third book, which probably means a third movie. I guess I'll need to check it. Hopeful it will be better than this one.

Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes

This is not the sort of show which I usually talk about on this blog. However, as a psychologist, I’m usually quite curious in regards to criminals and their minds; and one of these days I started watching this documentary on Netflix . Taking into consideration the kind of thing this is, I can’t say I ‘liked’ it. I mean what you see in there is nothing to like, but I was rather terrified, which is probably the usual response. Nonetheless, it was definitely a good documentary. The eyes of a killer Everything displayed in this story was terrible. The descriptions, Bundy’s posture, everything seemed like some sort of horror show, putting into perspective what we may consider to be lucky or unlucky in this life. Before I even start watching it, I read somewhere that this was the kind of thing you shouldn’t watch alone. Sounds accurate right now. At the time, and considering my, mostly academic, experience, I didn’t think that this could actually be so upsetting.

The Mist (2017) - quick review

A thick mist falls up a town, and something about it isn’t right - good premise. We would expect nothing less than good from a Stephen King’s book. Yet, as we all know, book adaptations can be quite disappointing. It goes from good to terrible. I loved the plot and, in the beginning, I was very curious and interested - it was almost impossible to stop watching it. Yet, at some point, it started to get on my nerves, and not in the way that a good horror show should. As we got closer to the end of the season, many things stopped making sense. Some characters are simply… not believable. The explanations for whatever was happening were ridiculous and easily refutable. It all took away the feeling of “this could be real”. It killed my interest. Many changes were made to the original novel. Some of them were interesting and made the story better, yet others were… well, nonsense. Cast and production As I said before, the first episodes were good and made us want to keep watching, but I was

Show Review: Emily in Paris

It took me a long time to give Emily in Paris a shot because I thought it would be a silly, shallow comedy about some sort of influencer. Well, it is a silly, shallow comedy about some sort of influencer, but to be honest, I liked it. Emily is a young talent in a marketing career and has the opportunity of her life: working in Paris for a year! And since her boyfriend is an idiot, she can try the full experience of being a single woman in the city of love. Unfortunately, she is not as good at managing her personal life as she is at work. In fact, she is frankly terrible at making decisions outside work. Cultural Differences Everyone who has been in a foreign country knows that sometimes we get ourselves into awkward situations due to cultural differences. So watching someone else go through the same is quite funny. I must admit that seeing an American trying to speak French is hilarious. Of course, I’m not French (and French people who hear me trying to speak French could have a s
