Will Small Saga ever come to Nintendo Switch or PS5?

Whoops, Happy New Year! I need to be more active here

A ★★★★½ review of The Brutalist (2024) What goes into making art? More specifically, what goes into making a building if that’s your particular mode of art? There are the people, the blueprints, and the materials. There’s also the energy r...

A ★★★½ review of Blitz (2024) Sweet well crafted story but very unfocused overall. It’s sprawling and disconnected with not much to grasp at. The past and future alterations of the structure are a bit too disorienting. It succeeds...

A ★★★★½ review of Babygirl (2024) I don’t know what I expected from Babygirl, but it wasn’t this in a good way. I’d been intrigued by the idea of the movie since it was announced and filmed. The idea sounded strange, but it was Halina...

A ★★★★½ review of Wicked (2024) A good musical is unashamed of itself. It presents its songs and sets with a strong level of self-assurance. Every set piece contributes to the project's overarching theme while feeling distinct. Thes...

A ★★★ review of Gladiator II (2024) I was entertained. However, entertainment and spectacle aren’t enough to carry a sequel to such a big film. I only watched the original Gladiator last night, but I was in awe of its constant inner bat...

A ★★★★½ review of Gladiator (2000) Wasn’t expecting this to work so much for me when I felt so disinterested in the first scene. The dialogue started and settled into a groove I really enjoyed. Fantastic pacing and structure. It’s long...

A ★★★ review of Gilda (1946) Shit just starts happening in this after awhile but it’s subtextually gay and stars Rita Hayworth. Fantastic melodrama over here. Every man in this is kinda crazy. Perfect in a way

A ★★★★½ review of The Big Heat (1953) Pretty entertaining and thrilling. Occasionally it’s so bombastic it feels like it could fall apart at any second but it doesn’t. Incredible

If I haven’t followed back and we were mutuals over #there don’t worry I’m not ignoring you! I’m just very forgetful

A ★★★★½ review of Double Indemnity (1944) “I love you too.” Was unsure about this one until the second and third acts tie the movie together. Stunningly crafted and very well acted. Brilliant cinematography like every shot is beautiful calcul...

A ★★★★½ review of Bird (2024) “When the days they seem to fall through you Well, just let them go” - Blur - “The Universal” I heard this was dreamlike, and it succeeded. I loved how American Honey showed the beauty in a situation ...

Hi yall

The most important thing in writing is to finish. A finished thing can be fixed. A finished thing can be published. A finished thing can be made into a movie.

An unfinished thing is just a dream. And dreams fade if you don't hold on tight enough.

So finish the thing.
