Bikhram [2019] Although the whole hot yoga phenomenon is interesting, and I heard good things about it, the new Netflix documentary about Bikram was disappointing. Slow, uneventful, boring, and couldn’t create an emotional connection with the viewer (with me, anyway). I don’t recommend it, even if I feel for those women and what they went…
![Review: Marriage Story [Netflix 2019]](https://geekteller.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/marriage-story-adam-scarlett-netflix-poster-review-809x455.jpg)
“Marriage Story” is a great film, with amazing performances, and comes after a few months of top movies that Netflix has released (Dolemite is my name, The Irishman, etc). It will definitely be a contender in this awards season. The script was really good, although I understand why people might get bored by it. It’s…
![Review: The Irishman [Netflix 2019]](https://geekteller.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/The-Irishman-Netflix-Poster-Review.jpg)
“The Irishman” was a sure bet from the beginning: directed by Martin Scorsese, with a cast list that started with Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino and Joe Pesci, and with all the Netflix money. It couldn’t be bad, could it? Well, it wasn’t bad…but it wasn’t amazing, either. Now, of course, the cast was fantastic. You…

“Dolemite is my name, and fuckin’ up motherfuckers is my game”. The catchphrase of the new Netflix film, “Dolemite is my name”, directed by Craig Brewer and starring Eddie Murphy, about the real life story of performer Rudy Ray Moore, who assumed the role of an iconic pimp named Dolemite during the 1970s. I loved this…
![Review: Laundromat [Netflix 2019]](https://geekteller.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/laundromat-poster-review-netflix-809x455.png)
Netflix’s new movie, “Laundromat”, seems to be included in the awards discussions, but I don’t think it deserves to be mentioned. I didn’t particularly enjoy the movie or understand its purpose, with the exception of presenting a real life story. “Laundromat” is a Steven Soderbergh movie that tells the story of the Panama Papers. It’s…
![Review: Stranger Things- Seasons 1, 2 & 3 [TV show]](https://geekteller.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/stranger-things-cover-poster-review-1.jpg)
A year ago, Stranger Things was that Netflix kids show that my nephews loved, and nothing more. Fast forward to today, and I love it as much as they do (I’m even secretly debating getting a Funko with one of the characters- Hopper? Eleven? is there one with Steve and the bat?). What I love…
![Review: Queer Eye [Netflix TV show]](https://geekteller.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/queer-eye-netflix-poster-fab-five-809x455.jpg)
I love “Queer Eye”, plain and simple. The main reason I watch it is because it’s one of the extremely few TV shows (entertainment content, actually) where there is no violence or hate or unnecessary drama. Only fun, sweet and uplifting moments. Oh, and the ending is always positive. For those who don’t know, “Queer…
![Review: Triple Frontier [Netflix 2019]](https://geekteller.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/triple-frontier-netflix-review-poster-809x329.jpg)
To say I was excited about Triple Frontier is an understatement. Ever since I learned about this movie, and specifically, about the cast, I was completely on board and eager to see the film. Because, really, wouldn’t you want to see an action movie with Ben Affleck, Oscar Isaac, Charlie Hunnam, Garrett Hedlund and Pedro…
![Review: The Umbrella Academy- season 1 [Netflix TV Show]](https://geekteller.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Umbrella-Academy-Netflix-review.jpg)
“The Umbrella Academy” is one of the new shows that Netflix is pushing forward right now. It’s a story based on comics written by Gerard Way (My Chemical Romance) and Gabriel Ba about a group of special children who are adopted by an eccentric billionaire and trained to become superheroes. The catch is that each…
![Review: Roma [2018]](https://geekteller.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/roma-netflix-poster-review-2018.png)
“Roma” is an Alfonso Cuaron movie from start to finish, produced by Netflix, with limited theater runs. Cuaron wrote & directed it, but also was the DP and editor for it, maybe because it was such a personal story for him. The movie is about his youth, and more importantly, about his caretaker, Cleo, who…
