As a Brazilian I’m extremely proud of this movie, and it’s extremely good in pretty much all regards. Trying to avoid spoilers here, but… it feels like it’s missing a huge part though? With the historical context I have I can kind of imagine why it’s missing, but it felt frustrating, unlike the rest of the movie that’s actually there.

Raw and gut-wrenching are perfect adjectives for this one. It wants to get its message across and pulls no punches in doing so: nobody wins a nuclear war.

Pretty fun watch all around. I would have loved this movie as a child, but somehow never got to watch it.

Amazing game, probably the best souslike that’s not made by From Software.

Lies of P is a dark retelling of Pinocchio, and the Belle Epoque with Puppets setting really grows on you. At some point it goes bonkers with that and it’s awesome. The Bloodborne inspiration is obvious and very welcome.

The final third of the game suffers from a steep difficulty wall, but doesn’t ruin it. There’s a difficulty setting that can help if a boss gets too difficult.

I had no idea what to expect from this movie and it kept surprising me over and over. It’s already pretty long but I wish it kept going for a bit longer.

I know, I know. It’s EA. But I love football and there’s enough good here to let me live the fantasy of a career mode.

The menus are a complete mess and half of them don’t work most of the time, but the gameplay is cool. I’ve founded Polenta FC and have had a blast managing the club.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
