__Hello.🙂 If this is your first time on my blog, I always post these compilations of mini reviews (which are copied and pasted from my Twitter) on the first Saturday of the month, and it's not often that that happens to be the first day of the month.😀 Today's post will mostly be a long string of video games, since that's what I've been focusing on for the past month. Before we get into that, though, let me start with my brief comments on four movies that I watched during a quick detour.
The plot completely stagnates once Grace is accused of witchcraft, because the rest is nothing but their efforts to force her to confess. It's more mean-spirited than anything, as her resolve just seems like an excuse to extend the torture.
My rating: 40%.
It hinges on a hefty decision, but it's dulled because neither the narrative nor the characters are all that spectacular, so even the climax feels rather lacking. It does nail the atmosphere of space, though, like when they first lose gravity.
My rating: 60%.
It makes some clever use of all thoughts being out loud, but it gets pretty annoying hearing "I am Todd Hewitt" about a hundred times as he tries not to think of anything. The story itself is pretty bland; the books sound much better.
My rating: 50%.
It's better than King of the Monsters, but not by much. The main problem is the pacing: it's almost two hours, yet it still feels rushed. Some of the characters are pretty annoying, too. Still, the climax makes it all worthwhile.
My rating: 55%.
