Here's my review/reaction of the latest movies I've watched (in no particular order). For reviews only: I will also add here my review/reaction from the US TV shows that I watch. My grade would be from 1 to 5. 1. Suicide Squad  (2016 | Action | US) Review: It's still on the DCEU - dark (some too dimmed action scenes).
