Quick Reviews

Gosh I loved this movie. A thriller that managed to make me both really tense and laugh out loud in the same scene without any of these reactions contradicting each other. It’s absolutely ridiculous in the best way.

This prequel to Lies of P is everything that was good about the base game, but elevated into a 12-hour long campaign of pure awesomeness.

The story, level design, bosses and weapons are just state of the art. The final chapter had my eyes all teared up all the time.

Each chapter even has self-contained small side quests that don’t give much of a challenge but are great pieces of world-building to make Krat an even cooler setting.

Raw and gut-wrenching are perfect adjectives for this one. It wants to get its message across and pulls no punches in doing so: nobody wins a nuclear war.

While this is probably my least favorite of the trilogy, it’s still one of the best movies ever made. An outstanding achievement in all regards. I can’t believe these movies exist.

The extra scenes for the extended edition are also pretty neat, and add some extra context that is very welcome for a fan like me. The overall movie pacing gets a bit worse which is why it’s totally understandable why they were cut from the theatrical release. And another reason I’m glad the extended editions exist!

I just wish the final Saruman scene was in this movie instead of the next one. I feel like it’d wrap around this movie’s story a bit more nicely.

It’s still a fun movie, but it’s basically the same thing as the first one but with worse pacing and felt a bit too forced.

Can’t believe I’d never watched the extended editions before. This movie is just timeless, a perfect introduction to a wonderful world, amazing pacing, acting, environments and practical effects.

It’s almost 4 hours long but I wanted to start the next one immediately after it finished.

Amazing game, probably the best souslike that’s not made by From Software.

Lies of P is a dark retelling of Pinocchio, and the Belle Epoque with Puppets setting really grows on you. At some point it goes bonkers with that and it’s awesome. The Bloodborne inspiration is obvious and very welcome.

The final third of the game suffers from a steep difficulty wall, but doesn’t ruin it. There’s a difficulty setting that can help if a boss gets too difficult.

Cute with a hint of sadness, I love the combination. The art style and character designs are amazing!

I had no idea what to expect from this movie and it kept surprising me over and over. It’s already pretty long but I wish it kept going for a bit longer.

I can totally see this being decent if they stripped away at least half of it and made 3 or 4 decent episodes, but in true Netflix fashion they opted for 8 bad ones instead.

A show that doesn’t really know what it wants to say, with a pacing so awful that often killed any sort of interest in what was going on.

I’ve played this game on and off since 2021, and surprisingly never stopped to give it a review.

It’s a dream come true, honestly. Space exploration at its finest, exploring worlds is always fun, there’s so much to do and still the best thing to do is nothing. I love just walking around a pretty planet and taking screenshots of the amazing views. Whatever problems it has just fade away in the vastness of space.

I absolutely adore the dialogues, too. So many existential quotes that just hit the right spot.

Watching this movie feels like a nightmare. Things happen and you really don’t have much say in it, then they start spiraling out of control and you’re completely unable to do anything. You can’t run, yell or fight.

The religious allegories are quite obvious and are great, but that nightmarish feeling was really something I hadn’t felt with a movie before.

Breaks my heart because I love the game, but this adaptation just didn’t do it for me. Season 1 was pretty good, but I feel like none of the changes on Season 2 worked. Ellie is just a completely different character, and I feel like none of her actions are justified in the show. I gotta say some of the heaviest moments hit really hard on the show too. Episodes 2 and 6 were standouts though. Really enjoyed those.

Holy crap, now this is a good horror movie. A slow burn that really pays off. Its found footage structure makes perfect sense in the story and also reflects a lot on what you think and feel during the entire movie. It finds the perfect balance of explaining things enough to be satisfying but not enough to break the horror aspect (something that most movies just suck at).
