The Master of Disguise (2002)
Nostalgia
I used to love this movie as a kid. I think it's what got me into doing accents and silly voices. I used to quote what I could remember from it with a good friend back in highschool. I rewatched it again recently with my 6 year old sister, and when we got to the end she said "that was really dumb." And I had to agree. It was just plain unfunny. Even the things I've quoted over the years just weren't funny anymore. Just a bad movie that I wish my nostalgia goggles had protected a little more, I suppose.
Mass Effect: Andromeda (2017)
Stand Alone Title
After watching a one VideoGameDunkey's video, I was very hesitant to pick up this game. With the Legendary Edition's release coming soon, I realized that they had likely patched up and fixed a lot of the issues that I vaguely recall Dunkey dunk-ing on (haha.) So, I decided to get it. I don't know if it's because I've matured a lot since I last played through the original ME trilogy, or if it's due to my playing D&D a lot more, but I have been so absolutely drawn in by the story in this game. I'm thoroughly enjoying the role playing aspect of this game, I appreciate that there is no color coded "good guy :)" "bad guy >:(" system. I really like that you can just play the game how you like without needing to worry if your karma is high enough to get a certain dialogue choice. I just feel like I've been better able to role play in this than the original trilogy, but maybe that'll change once I play through them again.
The reason I gave this an 8/10 is because of how tedious some of this game is. I mean, do we have to do the mini-cutscene to fly between planets every time? It gets very old when you are trying to do a specific companion's loyalty mission, and all the sudden you have to jump between 4 planets which takes upwards of 10 minutes when really it should take 5. Also had quite a few bugs while playing through, mostly textures stuff, which I can overlook. The game is at it's best when you're partaking in the linear quests - like the companion missions. The exploration leaves a bit to be desired, in my opinion, but even with all this annoying tedious stuff - I still had a blast playing through the game. I felt sick to my stomach during some story reveals, and I had no trouble stepping into Ryder's shoes. Like others here, I wish that it had been completed appropriately upon release instead of the half-cocked game they put out. It deserves a sequel because it was a lot of fun and engaging story wise - to me at least. I'll always consider the original trilogy some of my favorite games of all time, but Andromeda holds a special little place as well.
I highly recommend picking this up. It's $10 brand new via Amazon. Treat it as a separate story from Shepard and the Reapers, because it's a separate story from Shepard and the Reapers.
PS: Liam is the worst companion and I almost stopped playing the game because his dialogue during the tutorial made me cringe.
Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)
She was dece
Been on a real Star Wars kick recently, so I figured I'd finally get around to watching this. Other than the expected groaners when they shoehorn references to the OT and the cliches you can see coming a mile away, it's not bad. Hard to care about the characters outside the ones you already know, but - I had fun.
The Nun (2018)
That's right, it's a spooky nun folks
Holy balls, I love bad horror movies like this. It takes itself seriously but does the most ridiculous stuff that we - the audience - are in turn supposed to take seriously as well. It's amazing. I was laughing the entire movie. Super predictable scares, very predictable plot, but the twists and turns for what dumb thing will happen next are enough for me to recommend it as a rental with friends to point and laugh at it with.
