  Flow 2024

  ★★★ Watched 12 Mar 2025

  Is it a long video-game cut seen?

   Is it a simple yet creative story of a cat?

  Is it something deeper? Showing a world of isolation and monuments of self that has fallen into ruin. Do we escape into a romanticized ascension of self righteous isolated piety, or remain, choosing to live for others remaking the broken into anew?

  Was that whale a kaiju?

  Apparently the academy and my kids liked it.

  Sonic the Hedgehog 3 2024

  When asked if he would come out of retirement Jim Carrey said “It depends - if the angels bring some sort of script that's written in gold ink, that says to me that it's going to be really important for people to see, I might. I might continue down the road, but I'm taking a break.”
  I don’t know what happened between then and Sonic 3 but that simply could not be what happened.

The VFX Artists deserve all their flowers for this movie. Unfortunately the same can not be said for the screen writers.
