Maybe this is just a problem with trailers in particular, but the trailer for this movie didn’t really sell me on it. Sure, there’s a mystery, but the mystery didn’t seem very intriguing in the way it was presented. It felt like the movie would focus on a different thing, but after this got 95% on Rotten Tomatoes, I thought I have to see this. It did help that it’s directed by the guy who did Barbarian.

I Have Finally Seen All the Movies on the Sight & Sound Critics’ Poll of 2022
That’s 264 movies. I have seen quite a few before I started this almost three years ago when the list was published, but since many of the movies are not readily available, it took me this long to see them all.
Somehow Fantastic Four Is Supposed to Save Marvel? Okay.
Fantastic Four is essentially a bad concept.
Yeah, I Watched Megalopolis, the Movie Most People Have Already Forgotten and for a Good Reason
Why did I even bother?
Superman 2025 Is Both the Classic Superman We Know and Perfect for the Moment
We get that young man who just wants to help everyone, but we also get a more intersectional vision of the world he is helping. He might be American, but he isn’t just interested in the well-being of Americans.

My Top 10 Favorite Adult Animated Movies
First, not that kind of adult.
Here I am, sitting in a guesthouse in Tórshavn (that would be the capital of Faroe Islands, a town with a whopping 14k people) that functions as a student dormitory during the semester and somehow this idea for a post pops in my head. No idea why. This isn’t a sly joke or anything. I just found it weird I came up with this idea when looking at the skeletons of a pilot whale and an orca hanging from the ceiling of the National Museum. The problem with this is that I can’t rewatch any of these right now, so this is based on my memories of these movies (which has been waning, but here we are).
But why do we tend to think of animations as children’s entertainment? There is nothing inherently child-like in animation. It is just another production method or, more precisely, a set of methods.
From the Wonderful World of John Wick: Ballerina
TL;DR: It definitely feels like a movie from that franchise, but also manages to be different enough to be worth a watch.
My Take on Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning or If You Are Going to Use Hundreds of Millions to Make a Movie, Could Someone Do a Little Bit of Research
Well, it’s an M:I movie. What else do you need to know?
Final Destination: Bloodlines Review by Someone Who Hadn’t Seen a Final Destination Movie Before
Some light spoilers, but it doesn’t really matter when the point of the movie is seeing convoluted deaths rather than an actual plot or characterization, it doesn’t really matter that much.
Sure, I had an idea about what the gimmick is, so I wasn’t going in completely blind, but while I tried to find a boxset of Final Destination movies at some point out of interest, I could never find a decent one, so I have never seen the actual movies.
My Top 10 Favorite Movie Farces
Here’s how I got to this list: I watched a movie called Behind Convent Walls. It was sold to me as drama and there wasn’t that much information available, so I did not have much expectations. Then I saw the cover…
