__I hope everyone had a good Halloween.🙂 As per tradition, I celebrated it by watching a couple of horror movies I hadn't seen before, but we'll get to those later.
__Today's list of Twitter-length reviews is going to be a long one, because I've been extremely busy with both movies and video games. Last month's entry was posted right in the middle of a rather lengthy set of this year's movies that I was going through, and I've seen a few more since. And as I mentioned last time, I started watching longplays of the games I own (either legitimately or as emulator ROMs) that I'd skipped over and left without a rating on my list. There are quite a lot because most of them are very short.
__Plus, I've started going to the cinema more often. My last post went up mere hours before I went to see No Time to Die, so that movie's been waiting to have its turn on this blog for a whole month!😀 Well, finally the wait is over.
__Section one: cinema releases.
A solid swan song for Daniel Craig's Bond, as well as one of the best films in the franchise. Its runtime may seem excessive, but you barely notice it. The highlight is a car chase that turns into a suspenseful hunt in a misty wood.
My rating: 80%.
As you'd expect of Denis Villeneuve, it's visually stunning and very slow-paced – maybe too much so. The story is easy enough to follow, but it's vague on many details that are probably explained better in the book, and the ending is far too abrupt.
My rating: 65%.
Much of it is a tad illegible for the uninitiated, not helped by the sporadic pacing, but even the movie knows Marguerite's is the most important story, and it's fascinating to see certain events unfold from different people's perspectives.
My rating: 65%.
__Believe it or not, the same thing is happening again with today's post!😀 I'll be going to see Eternals later today, but I must stick to my schedule.
