#BalladOfASmallPlayer Review

The movie never grabbed me. Not even its trippy ending could save it.

A ★★ review of Ballad of a Small Player (2025)
A gambling addict on the verge of suicide keeps going in hopes of a big win. I could never get invested in the lead character. He intentionally hides who he really is keeping him a mystery. The gambli...

#AHouseOfDynamite Review

It presents a situation from three different perspectives. Sadly, the story couldn't keep me engaged after seeing the first perspective.

#KPopDemonHunters Review

It didn't live up to the hype. The music didn't even deliver. I might know too much about the Kpop industry to enjoy it. The message of the film is laughable compared to the realities of that industry.

#TheRunningMan Review

It has some pacing issues and Glen Powell's performance is unconvincing at times. There are some fun moments and evokes our current issues with AI deepfakes making it feel too close to home.

A ★★★ review of The Running Man (2025)
Glen Powell's performance early in the movie felt like a parody of an action movie with how "angry" he was. It was unconvincing and strange. The future this movie creates reminds me of AI deepfakes we...

#Keeper Review

Osgood Perkins movies have gotten so much better. This movie was creepy as hell with some impressive monster designs. It also had a good sense of humor to keep things entertaining to avoid falling into a painfully slow pace like his movies before Longlegs.

A ★★★★ review of Keeper (2025)
Osgood Perkins movies have gotten so much better starting with Longlegs. He's always made beautiful films, but they were too slow for their own good. From what I heard about Keeper, it was threatening...

#TheOutfit Review

A single location crime drama lacking in stakes until about halfway through the movie.

A ★★★ review of The Outfit (2022)
A single location crime thriller. It took a while to pull me in as I knew the cutter was being deceptive early on. I have no reason to root for him, so the movie didn't have stakes until his surrogate...

#MississippiMasala Review

More than just the romance I expected. It digs into the race relations between Indian Americans and African Americans along with the history of Indians in Uganda. I learned something about a history I knew nothing about.

A look at how trauma controls us that gets surprisingly funny even with how dark the material is.

#GoodFortune Review

A funny movie about the class divide and gig economy. The lesson isn't about who is living a better life, but about the power the individual has to make change for the better for people around them.

#AfterTheHunt review

I see why people don't like this. A messy situation where everyone is right and no answers on how to progress after the #MeToo movement. I really enjoyed Andrew Garfield in this though, and Michael Stuhlbarg is a scene-stealer.

#40Acres Review

It squanders the unique aspects of its story to focus on the coming-of-age journey of the oldest son. Danielle Deadwyler continues to impress though.

A ★★★ review of 40 Acres (2024)
I was intrigued by the mixed family setup, but the movie ends up mostly focusing on the coming-of-age story of the oldest son. It's a shame because it makes for a story I've seen many times before rem...

Turning off the AI in Gmail causes your account to no longer slit your emails up through Primary, Promotions, and Social. That's because Google is a petulant little bitch who doesn't like that you told them to fuck off with their bullshit slop scam.

far and away my most hated software trend of the last 3 years is bundling old, useful features alongside LLM horseshit i don't want and putting them all under one fucking setting.

gmail now has gemini tied directly to their existing email categorization feature! can't have one without the other!

What I desperately need at this point is more than 4 HDMI inputs. With a Switch, Xbox, PlayStation, and Apple TV, I have no room for another console/Steam Machine. HDMI switchers are an absurdly clunky solution. It's crazy that TV manufacturers don't make an add-on that gives you more ports.

Embark Studios used AI voices for The Finals and stated they don't want to make games without actors.

However, they've continued to use AI voices for Arc Raiders.

Here's my breakdown on how this is harmful for the industry and the general future.

Yakumo is the best new character introduced in a character action game. He is excellent to play as, and I don't feel him lacking at all compared to Ryu Hayabusa. They broke the curse #NinjaGaiden4

This fight gave me trouble for a while, but I finally beat it. The parry and perfect counter has to be one of the most satisfying mechanics in an action game in recent memory. #NinjaGaiden4
