Review: Inside Out 2
While I didn't see the first Inside Out movie in theatres, I am a long-time fan of it. Insight Out does a great job of making our emotions, our instincts, understandable, rationalising without making excuses. I haven't enjoyed a Psychological deep-dive so much since my Beloved got me hooked into Sanders Sides. (She's still smug about that)

A Quiet Place: Day One Movie Review
Back in 2018, A Quiet Place was released to high acclaim; it was a nail-biting thriller that did more with less. Following a 2021 sequel, the series is branching off in different directions with A Quiet Place: Day One. If you can put up with a fairly standard opening act, this third entry will offer the same tension against a standalone story.

The FALLOUT Series and the Question of Enemies
Just binge watched the entire season of FALLOUT. All eight episodes in a row because I’m a good little film addict that way. The end credits were coming up with he sun and I have to say it was worth the rough day ahead. That's how good I think the show is.

Tuesday
I have just watched this movie and wanted to write up my impressions while they are still fresh. I'll use my already familiar media literacy critique formula: any good creation of art (a movie, a painting, a book - anything, really, that has some encoded information in it as a medium) will affect us humans on four different dimensions. The best ones will pull all four strings, but a successful creation would probably have at least two:

Unraveling the Notions of Love and Capitalism through The Maxton Hall Series
We all love the romantic trope of enemies to lovers that serves a slow burn, leaving us gasping for air amidst the sizzling chemistry of the main characters, diving us deep into the escapism of their romance. Adolescent angst and feelings take centre stage in this show, which is perfect if you enjoy typical high school teen dramas.
