Hogwarts Legacy (2023)

"Set during the late 1800s, a newly enrolled student at Hogwarts discovers that they possess the unusual ability to perceive and master Ancient Magic, becoming the key to an old secret that threatens to tear the wizarding world apart." - IMDB   It has occurred to me that I never made an official blog about Hogwarts Legacy. So here I am on Harry Potter's birthday sharing my thoughts about my game of the year last year. If you know me, then you know I’m purely defined as a Harry Potter fan. So Hogwarts Legacy has been my crippling sub-obsession for over a year now. I absolutely love that game and I'm here to break it down for you now! The Bad  There are a lot of people with valid criticisms of this game. Yeah, it’s not perfect. It has it’s flaws from really minor ones to major ones. But my list is not that big compared to others.  However, I agree with pretty much everybody by saying broom mechanics..... not it. I forgot what I had to do to make it bearable, I definitel

Deadpool & Wolverine - First Impressions!

"Wolverine is recovering from his injuries when he crosses paths with the loudmouth Deadpool. They team up to defeat a common enemy." - IMDB   First Impressions. I literally haven't had time to think any of my thoughts through. I've been so unbelievably hyped for this film and I'm so overwhelmed that it is here and that I've seen it. To Deadpool Fans - this was indeed a Deadpool movie.

What a real treat it was to see him on such a legendary scale.  To MCU Fans - This fits within the grand scheme of things but it really stands on it's own.

JULY WATCH PARTY - Get Out (2017), One Hour Photo (2002), Zodiac (2007)

**SPOILER ALERT** "A young African-American visits his white girlfriend's parents for the weekend, where his simmering uneasiness about their reception of him eventually reaches a boiling point." -  IMDB   Dang. That was a solid film. I have seen Jordan Peele's Us and Nope, but I only just now got to the film that made all of us know who Jordan Peele was. Get Out is a psychological thriller that follows a black man that gets caught in the shenanigans of a crazy white people cult. I really applaud Jordan's story and his concept of hypnotism. They're not making slaves - they're making vessels. While to me, Us is the superior film compared to Get Out and Nope, this film was still a phenomenal way to make a directorial debut and an Oscar for best screenplay was very well deserved.  My Rating: ★★★★★★★☆☆☆ "A mentally unstable photo developer targets an upper middle-class family after his obsession with them becomes more sick and disturbing than any of them
