Knives Out (2019) - Movie Review
IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8946378 Trakt: https://trakt.tv/movies/knives-out-2019 An overhyped and awful Agatha Christie knock-off. Every actor in it (outside of Ana de Armas - playing Marta) is mediocre to awful. Daniel Craig, who isn’t usually a good actor, is playing with a fake accent in this, and even with that, he’s not the worst one. The movie looks like absolute shit, it’s SO GREY and SO GRAINY, but none of it is artistic… it’s just lazily added filters on top of the movie to make it appear “gritty”. ...
The Kingsman's franchise (2015-2021) - Movies Review
Kingsman - The Secret Service (2015): IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2802144 Trakt: https://trakt.tv/movies/kingsman-the-secret-service-2015 Kingsman - The Golden Circle (2017): IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4649466 Trakt: https://trakt.tv/movies/kingsman-the-golden-circle-2017 The King’s Man (2021): IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6856242 Trakt: https://trakt.tv/movies/the-king-s-man-2021 Kingsman - The Secret Service (2015) A movie I’ve seen in cinema back in 2015. I remember being really fresh back then, it was like a cool kid action movie (similar to Kick-Ass in a lot of ways). It’s still good today, but it’s far less special. What still stands out, however, is the “feel”. It still feels different, it’s not as fresh since a lot of high-budget movies have tried to emulate its style (through James Gunn mainly), but it still feels different enough through the “Britishness” and classiness of it. ...
Man of Steel (2013) - Movie Review
IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0770828 Trakt: https://trakt.tv/movies/man-of-steel-2013 Impressively bad, in ways I wasn’t expecting The directing was passable (fascism aside - I’ll get back to that), but the story was meaningless, it was a big nothing, elements that don’t matter (or don’t make sense) after elements that don’t matter (or don’t make sense). The (idiotic) story (spoiler ahead) The story starts on Superman’s planet (Krypton), and basically the people mined the planet’s core so much that the planet will collapse. Zod wants the politicians to give the order to evacuate the planet (for obvious reasons), but the politicians refuse for reason (something about having to die on their planet..?) ...
Oxygen Not Included (2019) - Video Game Review
Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/457140/Oxygen_Not_Included/ PCGamingWiki: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Oxygen_Not_Included Broad but shallow This game feels like a weird modded RimWorld: take RimWorld, move the view to the side, remove the enemies and add Oxygen (and gas) management. The problem? Unlike RimWorld it’s far broader but far shallower. A quick way to explain it, is that there’s literally dozens of crafting stations in ONI… except all of them have like 5 recipes (while in RimWorld a crafting station does a lot of stuff). ...

Years passed and following the DLCs release I started to hear that it might have become finally good, and might even surpass Civilization 4. ...
