I actually enjoy watching messy crime thrillers even when critics dislike them, there is something satisfying about flawed movies sometimes. This one has all ingredients, betrayal, money, fake death, tropical location, so it might still deliver entertainment even if story feels familiar. Eva...

The part I am most interested in is the writing process. People remember Rocky as this huge success, but it started with Stallone sitting down and actually writing the screenplay while his career was going nowhere. That is something I can relate to more than the boxing part. Having an idea is...

I mostly want to know how Ahsoka and Sabine are getting off Peridea. That ending has been sitting there for a long time, so I am ready for an answer. The planet itself looked great in season one, and I like the idea of spending more time there instead of leaving it behind after one season. The...

An hour of air is such a specific detail that I wonder if it's based on real scuba tank limits or just picked for dramatic countdown purposes. Either way it gives the writers a built in ticking clock which is smart structure even if the premise itself sounds a little silly.

Kinda annoyed since I was hoping to see how Simon and Trevor deal with being on the run together, that could have been fun actually. Different vibe but still interesting imo. The fact that Yahya himself said there were no conversations tells you everything, this was never real to begin with...

I watched Wonder Man mainly because I like superhero stuff but also because I was curious about the Hollywood angle. Simon’s struggles were surprisingly relatable. I laughed more at the behind-the-scenes moments than the powers. The ending of Season One hit me harder than I expected because...

Most ARPG games usually have the same fantasy style with swords and castles, so seeing pirates on surfboards feels different. The island exploration is also nice because every island looks a little different when it generates. Sometimes you find useful items quickly and sometimes it takes...

I was actually pretty into Terminator Zero from the start. The way they set it in 1997 Tokyo felt different enough to stand out from all the American reboots. Malcolm Lee trying to build KOKORO to stop Skynet instead of causing it was a smart twist, and his family being in danger made the stakes...

I honestly think this could be really intense. Four episodes mean the story can breathe and we can really see the characters change. I like that they are using mostly new actors because it will feel more like these kids actually got stranded instead of acting for fame. The whole idea of fear and...

I’m mostly here for nostalgia. I played the original NES Jaws when I was younger, and even though it was simple, it really stuck with me. Seeing it come back with a retro edition feels like a little time machine. The Bigger Boat edition is tempting with the keychain and lamp, but I don’t need...

I want to say something about the hate this trailer gets. A lot of the trolls acting upset clearly do not read comics. Their complaints do not match the source at all. They repeat the same talking points every time DC releases anything, and it feels rehearsed. I would not be surprised if some of...

One day earlier does not bother me at all. I already finished my rewatch last week because I expected something like this. Streaming platforms do this kind of move often now, and I think people should expect surprise changes. What matters more to me is that the show is coming back strong and...

When I was a kid, my uncle used to talk about seeing Star Wars during its original run. He always said the atmosphere felt electric. For me, I only saw the Special Editions, and even though I enjoyed them, I never fully related to the nostalgia people described. Hearing that the 1977 cut is...

I feel relieved that they chose mostly unknown actors for this movie. It is the first time in a long while that a big studio avoided the usual celebrity casting trend. I have seen so many fancasts online, and a lot of them were confusing. Some people seriously suggested Hunter Schafer as Zelda...

I keep thinking about whether this edition will finally include the deleted villain Yuri Yubari. From what I know, she was supposed to be Gogo Yubari’s little sister, and Tarantino wanted Kou Shibasaki, the actress from Battle Royale, to play her. The scene was meant to be a crazy gunfight in...
