Brilliant and Kurtwood really sells it.
I saw this many years ago and it really stayed with me ever since. Kurtwood Smith is excellent and it was his performance that left its mark on me.
I really enjoy the premise of the time loop concept as initially the idea sounds cool but the horrifying truth of repeating it for eternity is really unsettling as there is no end and no escape.
With the main character in the early stages of the time cycles, it's the growing desperation trying to find a way out frantically trying to do it before the time resets. The build to him finally getting the answers he seeks and what it means ensures a hopeless, unavoidable decent into madness and everyone around him just think he's a crazy person when he's lived it for millennia.
Thymesia (2022)
Good idea executed poorly
I was excited to play Thymesia but after spending a number of hours on it it's very disappointing. The developers are clearly fans of Soulslike games but do not understand what's makes them so good.
In a nutshell the main issue in this game is combat mechanics which is the most important element of this type of game.
Stiff, no flow and enemy mechanics seem to operate oblivious to what they are being subjected to. The devs need to go read the abundant feed back on the forums and hopefully do better next time.
Even at it's cheaper price it's a waste of money at this moment. If the devs can patch the common issues it could be an above average game.
Reacher (2022)
Enjoyable and fun
Reacher was a pleasant surprise. Characters are likeable and seem to work well off each other.
Reacher now more fits the description from the book a lot better than Cruise.
Reacher himself seems a little inconsistent in his abilities from scene to scene but overall I found it enjoyable to watch with some great moments of humour.
Recommended.
Chosen (2022)
Predictable and boring
Almost never made it through the series. Not much of a hook. Sex scenes that only seem added as a distraction from the the weak plot.
The unveil in the last episode was clearly given away in the first episode and Lukass flipping was seen coming from a mile away.
Not sure what they were aiming for but the characters were lacking and I won't be back for a second season.
The Equalizer (2021)
No effort made.
Making something just for the sake of making it is happening far too often. Another example of a poorly executed, poorly cast, poorly written series.
Unoriginal and boring. Please, PLEASE try harder as it seems you are not trying at all anymore. Minimal effort nonsense.
Chernobyl (2021)
Disrespectful
To be honest, I found this movie to be very disrespectful to the actual people who took part in trying to deal with this catastrophe.
Would not recommend.
The Last of Us: Part II (2020)
Ignore 10/10 & 1/10 scores
Anyone rating this game 10/10 of 1/10 don't know how to rate a game.
This game is not even close to a masterpiece but at the same time it's not an absolute car crash either.
As a huge fan of the first game I was expecting a lot from this game. In some ways it didn't disappoint. Graphics were stellar, gameplay was enjoyable though not much different from the first but I like the gameplay in the first anyway.
Presentation was first rate as was the sound design.
The issues for me was...
...The jumbled order the story was given in.
...Abby was not very likeable and there is an attempt to make you sympathise for her character but this misses the mark.
...there are a lot of new characters but there isn't much development to make you care about them and when some of them died I felt nothing.
...I expected to play as Joel a hell of a lot more than I did.
...Ellie's character is demonised throwing the feels for her built from the first game.
...A pregnant woman going on combat patrols.
...No pay off at the end of the story.
...Countless times character plot armour keeps them alive in situations that so ridiculous that it completely threw me out of the games immersion.
...character decisions that make no sense whatsoever.
Now if there's one part of the game to play this for it's the museum section. I loved this as it felt more in line with the first game.
Bottom line. It's an okay game but doesn't hit the notes the first game did. The end of the game made me feel depressed and gave no satisfaction or closure.
Hats of to the Naughty Dog team for a technical marvel but I feel bad as all there hard work was let down by an very average story.
Doctor Who: Spyfall: Part Two (2020)
Please please get new writers!
Jodie deserves a better chance than this as the first female Doctor Who. Please, please get a new writing team before this lot kill the show for good.
Dybbuk Box: The Story of Chris Chambers (2019)
Snore!
Don't waste your time on this. The most terrifying aspect of this "movie" is it's dragged out for an hour.
