Silence of the Lambs (1991)

"A young F.B.I. cadet must receive the help of an incarcerated and manipulative cannibal killer to help catch another serial killer, a madman who skins his victims." - IMDB So here I am, in a post Hannibal series world. Mads was great, but nothing beats Anthony Hopkins.  I was today years old when I learned Colleen Atwood did costuming. Guys, do you understand how this got me shook? Fantastic Beasts, Chicago, literally every Tim Burton movie. hello????? Atwood designed the famous mask??????? Coleen Atwood is literally my favorite costume designer, the only one I know by name. Unsung hero in the film industry.   I loved seeing the Chilton character after everything that happened on the show, they definitely cast well in the show. It was exciting to see the character, but at some point, during his and Clarice’s descent to the deepest chambers, I started holding my breath. I was just so tense until Clarice walked out of that hospital. I’ve seen this movie a few times now, and i

Hardcore Henry (2015)

"Henry is resurrected from death with no memory, and he must save his wife from a telekinetic warlord with a plan to bio-engineer soldiers." - IMDB PSA Hardcore Henry is a film that exists. First of all, if you’re someone who has weird motion sickness or can’t stand shaky cam in any form, ignore this recommendation. If you’re good with all that...... THEN STOP READING AND GO WATCH THIS MOVIE!!! It’s honestly one of the coolest films I’ve seen in a long time. My only wish is that I watched it sooner.  Hardcore Henry is a film entirely in the first-person point of view. Of course this is easily compared to an x number of video games. In terms of film of any kind..... I can only think of Markiplier and all of his creative projects on his channel, which are all 1st person as well. I love Mark’s projects, but Hardcore Henry takes it up a notch or 20 with it’s action. Hardcore Parkour is half the movie and its super cool. Henry has no dialogue so it was so easy to cast some sort o

The Last of Us: Part One vs Part Two

This is a blog many months in the making. Everyone can agree the Last of Us was a phenomenal experience while the fanbase remains divided about the Last of Us Part II even after 3 years. I've written theses on both, and now it's time for the ultimate 1v1: Part 1 vs Part 2.  Please please please check out my blogs on both games. I worked relentlessly hard on them. the Last of Us the Last of Us Part II Gameplay  Part I took what Uncharted combat did and made it better. I'm a Nathan Drake stan for sure, but I wasn't exactly a fan of only having two weapons and a few grenades. I blame Part I for this disdain as the inventory system is upgraded tenfold. You can carry so many weapons and have many tools at your arsenal - not just for combat but exploration as well.  And if that's not enough - Part II took what part I did and made that better. A whole level up for the inventory and upgrade systems, prone changing the stealth game entirely, and even improved party members.
