The Doctor is a Time Lord, who travels with his spaceship “a police-box called Tardis” between time and space. Always with a companion the Doctor saves the Earth, as well as other planets, and help people in need. The doctor has the ability to regenerate once in a while, the reincarnation gives him different looks and personalities. A relaunch of the series was made in 2005, starring one after the other, David Tennant, Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi. This Tv series is a must, if you like science-fiction, different species and incredibly  different planets where a mystery must be solved, you should start now. I personally never heard someone talk bad about the series, just good reviews. Before you start, before you can watch it again.

Ben Whittaker is a 70 year old who is not ready to retire. This need and desire to work brings him to an online fashion company created by Jules Ostin.

Mad Max Fury Road

Mad Max Fury Road (2015) is an American and Australian action movie. The movie is set in a apocalyptic future where everything is almost desert, and where gasoline and water are priceless property. The film follows the story of two rebels Furiosa and Max, in a giant race to survive and find a place where to make safe the wife of the evil Immortan Joe. Before to watch this movie you should watch the previous trilogy of the movie, in order to have a complete scene of what is going on. If you just watch the last movie, as I did, you may not like it. Mad Max Fury Road has a weak storyline, the idea that they could overthrow the evil empire just with a truck in the desert , going forwards and backwards, makes the movie superficial. One scene, one movie, no more!

Burnt (2015) is an American drama movie directed by John Wells. The film follows the story of Adam Jones, an incredible chef who almost ruined his life and career and a few of his friend’s relationships, because of alcohol and hard drugs. After a few years being sober, he is ready to win back everything he lost and even going for a third Michelin star in a fancy restaurant. Old and new friends will create an amazing team that will amaze food lovers. For a little moment, Bradley Cooper reminded me Gordon Ramsay in Hell’s Kitchen. If it is your last choice watch it, it is not the worst movie ever but neither anything special.
