So overall there was a lot I liked in the style choices, i liked the actors and characters and even the plot
but the content of the climax of the movie too much for me so I didn't enjoy that
6.2/10
Honestly I didn't really see the end coming even though they did drop a lot of hints
The content of the movie is the scary part, it's not like scary ghost movie scary.
I just didn't expect it to go off the rails like that and really was kind of too much for me
Movie Review: Presence 2024
I picked this movie at random because the image looked moody and I liked the title
I actually really LIKED the filming style. I read some reviews after + people didn't enjoy, but it's filmed like you are floating around in a house, lots of wide angle
Special effects were very well done and impactful, not just spectacle for the sake of it but part of the storytelling
I also enjoyed that it was graphic but personally I didn't find it gratuitous
Movie Review
Together (2025)
I actually really liked this movie. They spent time giving some backstory so I was invested in the characters
It had a good mix of romance, the struggles of relationship
Some really effective, creepy, unexpected moments
You could say maybe that was what they were going for, the movie felt hollow / a bloody violent spectacle as a message of what is going on with football
People are detached from the violence and the games of the elite
But idk movies you want to *feel* imo for it to be impactful
Idk with a movie that has religious satanic themes, lots of blood, an angsty character
I wanted to FEEL, like cathartic breakthrough or at least be more emotinally invested.
To me the movie felt hollow, a bloody spectacle
I did enjoy the fever dream style it was well done imo
Omg has it been so long since I've posted here! Goodness me
Movie review time!
I watched Him (2025)
This movie had a lot of ingredients that were up my alley, but it didn't hit. It lacked emotional punch, or a character that really made me feel.
Some of the lines fell flat
I do think I have to accept, or want to accept
that I am not a productivity machine and because my work is sexy and also creative a lot of the time, It's not like I can just show up "on" 8 hours a day 5 days a week
I need some time to recover, both energy, creatively, etc
Work wise I have been struggling a bit with knowing when I really need a break or creative reset
I worry if I take a day or more off I will feel guilty or fall behind
but I lay on the couch for like 3.5 hours today and voila here I am at my computer feeling like a spot of work
I've moved away from podcasts + really been diving into music more
Just been in a more emotional phase lately and music is what I'm craving
Listening to a mix of partynextdoor, the weeknd, some intense metal, edm/trance
also had a big phase with the band "unprocessed"
