Sneaky Pete Season 2 Premiere: Eleven million reasons to run!

Published

on

What do we remember about the highly popular show from Amazon Prime, starring Giovanni Ribisi and produced by Bryan Cranston, Sneaky Pete? SPOILERS AHEAD.

A quick recap involves one Marius, a con-man extraordinaire who stole his cellmates life after his release from prison, and the Bernhardt Bail Bonds family, with all their internal and legal external dramas too. Marius has his own colorful past that insists on catching up with him while he tries to pull a long con on Pete Murphy’s family.

When we last left our favorite con artist, not-Pete had finally managed to finish off Vince, only to get black-bagged taken by a pair of bad guys. These two guys insist that Pete produce his mother and the eleven million dollars she stole in the heist that sent him to prison in the first place, of course sending Pete off with an impossible deadline to accomplish said task. Pete decides he needs to gather intel on the two guys that popped him for his mother and so involves the pair of newbie thieves from the first season again, Gina (Jasmine Carmichael) and Gavin (Rory Culkin), much to their chagrin.

Elsewhere, erstwhile money launderer Julia (Marin Ireland) is trying desperately to figure out how to accomplish that task, while playing Duck-duck-goose! with children’s backpacks that she haphazardly used to store far too much dirty money.

Grandma’s (Margo Martindale) wrestling with her conscience over killing a man and after insisting that secrecy is what confession is for, goes to find solace in Church, despite husband Otto (Peter Gerety) begging her not to. But face-to-face seems to be kryptonite, so Grandma finds something else to obsess over when she discovers the family truck used on that terrible night is missing a headlight!

Despite everything that’s already been chaotically done to cover up the murder of Winslow, policeman Taylor (Shane McRae) has to deal with yet another investigator coming out from New York to look into his death. Precocious cousin Carly (Libe Barer) is still practicing her burgeoning grafter skills, blissfully unaware of the danger, even after the confrontation with Winslow.

Despite the swirling and mixing currents, the main issue at stake in the first episode is the two thugs who trapped Marius, Joe (Desmond Harrington) and Frank (Joseph Lyle Taylor), and just how far they’re willing to go to find Pete’s mom and that eleven million dollars. One would think, after the insane drama of the first season, that Marius had had enough, but no. Somewhere in that head of his, it isn’t even about the money, it’s about exercising his inherent conning skills and perhaps, finally, admitting he actually has feelings for the Bernhardts.

Dive deep into the secret world of bail bonds and con men (and women), with ‘Sneaky Pete’ Season 2, on Amazon Prime now!

“Vidaamuyarchi,” now streaming on Netflix, is a 2025 Indian Tamil-language action thriller directed and written by Magizh Thirumeni. Produced by Subaskaran Allirajah under Lyca Productions, the film boasts a runtime of 150 minutes. The narrative follows Arjun (Ajith Kumar) on a relentless quest to rescue his wife Kayal (Trisha Krishnan) after she is abducted by a mysterious group in Azerbaijan. The ensemble cast includes Arjun Sarja, Regina Cassandra, and Arav in pivotal roles.

Drawing inspiration from the 1997 American film “Breakdown,” “Vidaamuyarchi” offers a familiar storyline but is elevated by compelling performances. Ajith Kumar delivers a commendable portrayal of a husband battling against time and adversities, while Trisha Krishnan effectively captures the emotional depth of her character. The film’s cinematography by Om Prakash enhances the tension and atmosphere, and Anirudh Ravichander’s music complements the narrative’s intensity.

However, the film’s predictability and pacing issues may deter some viewers. Despite these shortcomings, “Vidaamuyarchi” provides an engaging experience for fans of the action thriller genre.

Rating: 6.5/10

Fifteen years after the original animated film took flight, this live-action adaptation proves that its story is as powerful and relevant as ever.

Published

As an unabashed fan of the original 2010 animated masterpiece How to Train Your Dragon, I approached the new live-action adaptation with cautious excitement. And let me say this upfront: it blew me away. This isn’t just a remake—it’s a heartfelt reimagining that understands exactly what made the original special, while carving out a new legacy all its own.

The decision to bring back Dean DeBlois, the creative force behind the animated trilogy, was nothing short of inspired. His return doesn’t just lend authenticity—it infuses the film with the same emotional richness, visual wonder, and narrative soul that made the original soar. DeBlois clearly understands that this story isn’t just about dragons—it’s about identity, empathy, and the quiet courage it takes to be different.

This film is a masterclass, in my opinion, on how to adapt animation to live action. Instead of chasing spectacle for spectacle’s sake, it stays grounded in character and emotion. The filmmakers preserve the heart of the story—Hiccup and Toothless’s bond, the tension between father and son, the forging of peace between enemies—while adding just enough new layers and textures to make it feel fresh. Small changes enhance the world rather than distract from it, proving that you don’t need to reinvent the wheel when you’re already working with gold.

The performances, across the board, are extraordinary. Mason Thames is a revelation as Hiccup. He captures the awkwardness, intelligence, and inner strength of the character with stunning nuance. Gerard Butler reprises his role as Stoick with even greater emotional depth—his presence is towering, both literally and figuratively, anchoring the film with gravitas. Nick Frost brings warmth and perfectly timed humor to Gobber, effortlessly making the character his own. And Nico Parker’s Astrid is fierce, grounded, and utterly magnetic—her chemistry with Thames sparks with authenticity.

Fifteen years after the original animated film took flight, this live-action adaptation proves that its story is as powerful and relevant as ever. It’s rare to see a remake that feels both lovingly faithful and genuinely new, but How to Train Your Dragon accomplishes just that. With breathtaking visuals, deeply human performances, and an unwavering emotional core, this film isn’t just a retelling—it’s a reminder of why we fell in love with this world of dragons in the first place.

Heartfelt, heroic, and unforgettable—How to Train Your Dragon (2025) is a 10 out of 10
