Quick Reviews

Since June 2024, I started writing quick reviews of movies, TV shows and games I've watched or played. Here's every one of them.

31 reviews rated "I like it"

This idea and overall review layout were totally stolen from Matt Birchler and his Quick Reviews web app. Check it out if you want to create yours!

I had watched this one many years ago and remember not liking it very much. After rewatching it, I was surprised… it’s actually pretty good!

It’s kind of a soft reboot after the series’ story ending in Season 5, so it’s understandable that most people didn’t like it back then. But when you’re not expecting a continuation and instead understand it’s a reboot, it’s actually pretty enjoyable.

Fun episodes and interesting arcs (that honestly could have lasted a bit longer). I might even say it’s better than seasons 2 and 3.

A surprisingly good show, a far cry from The Big Bang Theory. Sheldon is in the title, but the supporting characters are what really steal the show. They’re varied, complex, and above all, funny. It ended at the right time and in a beautiful way.

The idea of this being a “Poker Roguelike”, two things I don’t really like, kept me off the game for a while. Luckily, it being included on Apple Arcade gave me the nudge to try it out. And I’m glad I did!

It’s so easy to start, and hard to stop. Addictive, satisfying, and overall so fun to play.

Despite being a musical, this is pretty good! Interesting story, right amount of nostalgia, and honestly l even enjoyed some of the musical parts around the halfway point of the movie.

I just thought the final sequence was a bit drawn out so the landing wasn’t perfect. But overall, way better than I expected.

Probably my favorite show from my childhood, I was wondering if itwould survive a rewatch.

Honestly, it’s not amazing, but it’s fun. It is at its peak in the first two seasons, when the stakes were lower. It gets worse once the story gets too big for its budget. Still, that ending was amazing.

One of the best horror movie setups I’ve ever seen. Its premise of being footage of a 70s talk show works really well and it draws you in really quickly.

No ending could have lived up to the quality of that setup, though. Which made me feel a bit confused and disappointed when it ended. Still a great watch though!

It’s one of those movies where you spend a good chunk of its duration wondering if it’s going anywhere. But you can’t look away, it draws you in. And then things click.

Amazing acting, photography, and sound. Not easy to understand but worth the effort.

I never watched the first one, but this sequel is a very good time! It’s never afraid to be fun and never takes itself seriously, which is a breath of fresh air nowadays.

It’s far from being a cinema masterpiece, but it’s 105 minutes of pure entertainment. Great soundtrack too!

Wow, a horror movie that’s actually good! Really knows how to build up tension, keeping you on the edge of your seat for most of it.

Story is good enough to keep you interested, and it doesn’t feel like it needs to explain everything, which to me is really important to make horror work.

Amazing movie from start to finish. Pearl is an incredible character and even though you already have an idea of what’s going to happen (because this is a prequel to ‘X’), the way the story is told just keeps your eyes glued to the screen.

Mia Goth’s acting is nothing short of amazing, too. It might actually be the best part of the movie!
