Quick Reviews

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).

Okay, first of all I think this is an amazing movie, it looks and sounds amazing, all the characters are extremely creative, it’s a beautiful coming-of-age story and it’s a major pop culture icon. But watching it felt like a bit of a chore, I can’t really explain why. Good thing the ratings here are about my enjoyment of the movies, not their “objective” quality 😅

Pretty solid body horror movie. Some real memorable scenes with really good acting, with a solid story that builds on top of the classic Cinderella. Can’t go wrong with this one!

A real punch in the gut and a must-watch. Not much more that can be said.

Fuck nazis.

This one was a tough watch. After the good surprise that Season 6 was, this one never really stuck the landing. It gives up the plot that Season 6 sets in like 15 minutes and then just drags on for 23 episodes. I never really knew if I should take a scene seriously or if it was meant to be a comic relief - and to be honest, if feels like the show didn’t know either.

I gotta say the Bobby arc on the second half of the season was pretty good, though.

Has some pretty amazing moments and is overall very good, but just like the first one, it overdoes the action scenes, with one after another. So it ends up feeling bloated. Not enough to make it a bad movie, far from it! I never understood why the Hobbit movies are so underrated.

The first time I watched this one back in 2013, I remember not enjoying it as much as I enjoyed the first. But now, I think it’s much better.

I think it could be a bit goofier overall, but I pretty much enjoyed everything in this rewatch (except for the out-of-place romance). Smaug’s scenes are simply amazing, too.

Judge me, but I actually like The Hobbit movies. This is my first rewatch since it came out in 2012, and while this one has a few too many action scenes (which are fun, just get tiresome after 3 hours), it’s still a really good movie in an universe I love.

Sure, its quality never matches the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but to be honest I don’t think anything else ever will.

Binge-watched this in one sitting. Very powerful, all its 4 episodes are shot on a single take and that really brings you into the room with the characters.

The final montage is beautiful, too. Bonus points for having one of my favorite songs.

An overall decent movie until the Armenians come in. Then it gets amazing! For a drama film, the comedy is what steals the show.

Such a good movie! It touches on very sensitive topics in a very heartwarming way. It’s fun, serious and uplifting at the same time.

For a movie with pretty much no action, it is incredibly good at keeping you hooked. Everything is well made, and I loved the ending too!

Bonus points for being the first time I see my favorite dish on a movie 😋

Amazing drama with great acting by Brendan Fraser and some good thought-provoking messages. Got really emotional by the end.

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.

Holy shit, what an incredible movie.

Tense, intense, beautiful, terrifying.

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.
