Drifting Home Review

Media Name: Drifting Home

Media Type: Movie

Release Year: 2022

Director: Hiroyasu Ishida

Production Companies: Studio Colorido

English Distributor: Netflix

Runtime: 2 hours

Finished Watching: 18th September 2022

My Rating: 8/10

When I saw that this movie was coming to Netflix, I was really hyped. I've seen two other films by Studio Colorido before (Penguin Highway and A Whisker Away) and I really enjoyed them so it was clear that I would probably enjoy this one too. When I watched it, I really enjoyed it. I would have to say that all of the characters were well-written and added something to the story. The animation was beautiful just like Colorido's previous films, same with the soundtrack. I also found the storyline to be really entertaining and a unique spin on the Isekai genre (which is one of my least favourite genres of anime). It could also get quite emotional in some of its scenes. I wouldn't say it was absolutely perfect however as some characters could get quite annoying (especially towards the start of the movie). I get that not everyone liked each other but seeing some of them start arguing for no reason wasn't that fun to watch. Another problem was that the ending felt kind of rushed as well. I get that it was meant to be an ambiguous ending but I'd say Penguin Highway did a better job at it. I'd have to say that other than those problems, I really enjoyed this movie and would certainly watch it again at some point in time.

The Guardians of the Galaxy: Holiday Special Review

Media Name:  The Guardians of the Galaxy: Holiday Special Media Type: TV Special Series: MCU Release Year: 2022 Special Director:  James Gunn Production Company:  Marvel Studios English Network:  Disney+ Runtime: 42 Minutes Finished Watching: 25th November 2022 My Rating: 8/10 Given how much I like the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, I was really excited for this special. I'd have to say that it delivered. I found it to be really funny with the plot of Drax and Mantis kidnapping Kevin Bacon especially being amusing. The acting was really great as well. The CGI was surprisingly great given how CGI in other phase 3 MCU content has looked. The writing was also really good and the special was sometimes emotional. The only bad thing was the rotoscoped 2D animation for the beginning and ending which should have just been live-action in my opinion. Overall, this was a great TV special and gives the MCU a sign of hope.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles Review

Media Name: Planes, Trains and Automobiles Media Type: Movie Release Year: 1987 Director:  John Hughes Production Companies:  Hughes Entertainment Distributor:  Paramount Pictures Runtime: 1 hour 32 minutes Finished Watching: 4th December 2022 My Rating: 8/10 I ended up watching this movie since my dad said that it was "Christmassy" despite being set at Thanksgiving. I would have to say that this is a really good movie that's not for me. The writing was really good and I felt that the chemistry between Neal and Del was really good. I found some of the jokes to be really funny as well. I also found some of the scenes to be emotional. This might be personal bias because I grew up with the show, but I found The Flintstones scene to be really funny. There were some flaws that prevented me from enjoying the movie as much as I wanted to though. I found it to be really slowly paced to the point of where it felt like it was on for way longer than 90 minutes. While Neal being a je...

Half-Life 2: Lost Coast Review

Image
Media Name: Half-Life 2: Lost Coast Media Type: Video Game Release Year: 2005 Developer:  Valve Publisher: Valve Played on: PC Completion Status: 100% Finished Playing: 2nd December 2022 My Rating: 8/10 Despite this essentially being a tech demo for HDR made out of a scrapped section of Half-Life 2 , I still decided to play this anyway in between Half-Life 2 and Episode 1. I would have to say that I enjoyed this. The graphics have aged really well and still look beautiful. It was also fun as another level in Half-Life 2 which makes sense given that it was originally meant to be for the game. It was also fun to listen to the developer commentaries and hear insights on the game's development. Basically the only problems were that it was really easy (mostly because enemies can't attack you while listening to the commentaries) and really short. Other than that, this was a great tech demo and I'm glad that I decided to play it.
