Pokopia

Incredibly cute, well made and with plenty of stuff to do! The story is also surprisingly nice. It can get pretty overwhelming at times with how much there is to do, but it’s the ultimate cute environment sandbox and made better by the sheer amount of Pokémon in there, with their own personalities and preferences.
The Drama

This starts like a generic romcom but soon evolves into something really fun! It’s so well put together, weaving real issues with comedy and great acting by Pattinson especially. I had a great time!

Pretty good and emotional movie, with amazing performances too. I really need to say that the baby is an incredible actor, seriously. I have no idea how they made the baby act, but they did.
How I Met Your Mother

This is my third time watching this, and it has become a comfort series for my wife and I. Its highs are really great and its lows are fine. I think it’s the sitcom that best portrays the process of growing old and how relationships morph as time passes.
Its finale will forever live in infamy but I always thought it made perfect sense, though it does have awful pacing.

Super funny and interesting! I love the way it was shot, it succeeds in not taking itself seriously and is all the better for it.

This is a good one. A high quality psychological thriller that grips your attention right from the start and sticks with you after it ends. Amazing use of color, too!
Baldur's Gate 3

Hard to review this one. On one hand, it’s one of the best (if not the best) stories and set of characters I’ve ever seen in a video game. Not only that, it’s something only a game can offer: it was my story, I always felt like my choices mattered and saw them affecting the world and characters in some way.
On the other hand, I didn’t enjoy much of the rest. My playthrough lasted 99h, and by hour 30 I was already tired of combat and exploration and couldn’t wait for it to end. I ended up lowering the difficulty so I could just get combat over ASAP and get back to the story bits which was the only thing I cared about.
The Devil Wears Prada 2

This movie is basically the first one but adapted to more modern concepts (social media, late stage capitalism). And honestly, that’s fine. It does better than probably most other unnecessary sequels do, and it was an enjoyable watch from start to finish. Bonus points for having Gaga in it.
It was cool to watch the Milan scenes while literally being in Milan, too.
Come Closer

This is not the type of music I usually listen to, but if Aurora does something, I’m gonna give it a try. Pretty enjoyable from start to finish, I can see this being perfect for dancing in a club but I really like it as high-energy background music for doing stuff in the computer. Highlights are “A Boy Like You”, “Somewhere Else”, and the extremely catchy “Ring the Alarm”.

Robert Eggers knows just how to transport you into not only a different time, but into all the brutality and supernatural aspects of its folklore. What a great movie, even if (thankfully) all the masculine energy it exhales is not my cup of tea.

A classic is a classic for a reason. Andy’s friends are a pain in the butt though, she’d be better off without them 😅
Project Hail Mary

There’s a bunch of good sci-fi movies out there, but very few that lean so much into the “sci” part of it. Everything that happens in the movie feels believable* even if they’re completely alien to us (it is a space movie, after all), and there’s a pretty good story in there too. If you liked The Martian or Interstellar, you’re gonna love this one.
*except for the idea of humanity working together to save itself, which is obviously never gonna happen.

A very interesting premise in the beginning, very interesting characters in the middle, and an ending that stuck the landing. What else could you ask for? It doesn’t try to be anything more than what it is: a good movie. Wish more movies were like that.
The Secret Agent

As a Brazilian I’m extremely proud of this movie, and it’s extremely good in pretty much all regards. Trying to avoid spoilers here, but… it feels like it’s missing a huge part though? With the historical context I have I can kind of imagine why it’s missing, but it felt frustrating, unlike the rest of the movie that’s actually there.

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.

Pretty fun watch all around. I would have loved this movie as a child, but somehow never got to watch it.
Lies of P
Reviewed on Nov 27, 2025
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.
