The Complex (2020 Video Game)

Great story, keeps you entertained

[9/10 · 12 June 2020]

Really loved it, if anything it felt short I just wanted more. Everything happened so fast that it really made each choice feel intense and I loved that..

Bird Box (2018)

Dark, Scary, Always feeling like the characters are in danger.

[10/10 · 5 January 2019]

A mix of The Happening/A Quiet Place, Bird Box, is very creepy. It had the same feeling "The Happening" had where you know no one is ever really "Safe". The shopping scene reminded me a lot of 28 days later, loved that. Part of me truly wanted to see the creatures completely not just in bits and pieces (shadows/a move of the leaves etc) but I think that is what makes it so eery if you see them it ruins that affect. There were several moments that caught me off guard that I didn't expect and I liked that. Only down-side was that it felt a bit long, but otherwise I'd watch it again.

Tomb Raider (2018)

Alicia is great as Lara but the movie could have been so much better

[6/10 · 3 January 2019]

I am a huge fan of the newer games, and was disappointed that they seemed to stray so far from the original game story, also taking out a lot of the key characters. It was the story and those characters that had me adore the game and it made this movie feel like it was it's own movie of Lara in a different story then that one. In saying that though Alicia was such a convincing Lara, I have no complaints about her at all. If this wasn't meant to be based on the 2013 Game I probably would have less complaints about it.

A Wrinkle in Time (2018)

Lots going on at once, but not a bad film.

[5/10 · 29 December 2018]

With a lot of low reviews you expect the film to be awful, but every film these days seems to have that trend, and you can't go in with what others think of it. It overwhelmed me a bit at the beginning as it felt like there was a lot going on, and everything was bright/intense. But eventually it grew on me and I came to like it. Young Deric who played Charles Wallace is an incredibly actor, full of potential, same with the actress playing Meg. Also the soundtrack was a stand-out for me.

Charmed (2018–2022)

Quirky Fresh take on Charmed

[7/10 · 12 December 2018]

I love the original Charmed, but I also love this version too. I think many can't seem to get to the fact that you can like both shows that you "Have" to only like one. It gets better as each episode airs and I love the chemistry between everyone, and sometimes I feel like people are negative about it just for no reason. Each to their own opinion but I will keep tuning in :)
