The music is so integral to the story and themes in Sinners. The first thing that jumped out to me thematically is the appropriation of Black music starting with the Delta Blues.

I’m 7 hours deep and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is on pace to be one of my favourite games in recent years.
Sandfall Interactive has put the whole industry on notice. The fact that this game was developed by just 30 people is incredible.

I watched Sinners in 70MM IMAX 3 hours ago & it left me speechless.
There’s so much to digest.
All I’ll say for now is one sequence stunned me visually, sonically & conceptually. The execution & what it symbolises left me breathless. The scope of Coogler’s ideas astound me.

Wind Breaker Season 2 has started at a 10.
Episode 1 was carnage! It went by so fast. Ren’s entrance was cold. I like the small character beats that are peppered throughout the fights and this Ep. made WB feel even more like The Warriors. 👊🏾
Straight heat🔥🔥🔥

Robocop: Rogue City is An FPS All-Timer.
In this video essay I discuss why it’s one of the greatest first person shooters and why you should download it when it hits PS+ tomorrow.

Black Bag is a lean 90 minute spy thriller with sharp writing that is matched by Soderbergh‘s direction which is equally as sharp. It has excellent performances from its cast. Sources of light within this film have an oddly comforting bloom effect which makes the cinematography visually appeasing.

Bloodborne is my favourite video game of all time.
A mesmerising experience that is truly exceptional. FromSoftware’s Masterpiece.
For its 10 year anniversary I spoke about my memories of it and why it’s my favourite.

I’ve played 4 hours of Assassin’s Creed: Shadows.
The best thing about it so far is the introduction to a clan of villains called The Onryo. They made me think of how Tarantino would introduce a villainous group such as this. The music in that scene felt fitting for a Western.

Me in 2011 - “They should make an AC game in Japan”
2025 - They finally made an AC game in Japan.
The hype for Assassin’s Creed Shadows would be insane if it was 10 years ago, but adding Yasuke to this game might be the secret sauce.

Capcom’s classic game design is legendary to me. It’s emblematic of that old school gaming feel in one of its purest forms.
Resident Evil.
Devil May Cry.
ONIMUSHA.
Dino Crisis.
All 4 of those franchises feature variations of their iconic framework and gameplay.

After clocking 2 hours in Death Stranding I feel like if I am going to continue, I will need to micro dose my play sessions. I’m still intrigued by it but my intrigue outweighs my enjoyment. The lengthy cut scenes disrupt the flow. So far it’s giving me more to watch than play.

Monster Hunter Wilds and Diablo 4 will remain in my gaming rotation for the foreseeable future. I’m hooked on both. I will still play other games around them, but I can see myself playing those two games at least once per week and completing a few hunts and dungeons.

I rolled credits on Monster Hunter Wilds.
I played Rise back in 2021 but this is the first MH game I’ve beat.
I enjoyed the experience, the weapon variation and the complexity of the gameplay. I loved the monsters. The story and characters were surprisingly good.

The story offered nothing for me to be invested in. The tone / humour is hit or miss. There’s some inventive deaths but I felt they could’ve been handled better and with more practical effects.

The Monkey is the biggest disappointment of the year for me (so far).
This is Osgood Perkins most conventional looking film. All of the style and splendour that I would associate with his previous work is missing.
The whole film feels disjointed and doesn’t execute its concept in an exciting way.

I’ve beat 7 video games so far this.
That may already be higher than my total last year.
My favourites so far are RoboCop: Rogue City and Mafia: Definitive Edition.

The only TV I tend to watch nowadays is anime. It’s even been a while since I’ve found a good American animated show.
I’m currently enjoying the new series Common Side Effects on Adult Swim / Channel 4. It’s funny, the plot is interesting and the animation has that old school King of the Hill vibe.

I finally watched Sleepy Hollow last night.
This instantly jumped into my top 2 films from Tim Burton and it might not be the 2.
A gothic horror fantasy with stunning atmospheric imagery. It has much more blood and decapitation than I expected.
