  Silent Hill 2006

  ★★★ Watched 16 Mar 2025

  Way better adaptation than Resident Evil/than I expected. It actually has many hallmarks of the game series. It's almost good, but stilted acting and dialogue from everyone really hurts this. Too many things were just stumbled into. I don't think the actual silent hill piano theme was used well though. It's used too much and doesn't match the scenes that it's in. Filmed very stylishly but a lot of prosthetics and CG don't hold up very well. Certain sequences felt unnecessary. Characters make dumb decisions but that happens in the games too so won't hold that against it.

  Brotherhood of the Wolf 2001

  ★★★½ Watched 14 Mar 2025

  An enjoyable mishmash of martial arts, monster flick, and period drama. The CG are serviceable but they don't match the quality of how good the rest of the movie looks. The films a bit too long, luckily no single section particularly drags, but there's a few too many scenes languishing on things like a romance or death mixed in thoughout that messed-up the flow for me. The central plot is rather basic and bland but it has relatively strong, or…

  Fist of Fury 1972

  ★★★ Watched 25 Mar 2024

  Despite being rather straightforward, found the revenge plot interesting enough, but certain exposition scenes could've definitely been cut down in length.

  Audio/subtitle sync is pretty terrible throughout.

  Fights ranged from okay to good, but nothing spectacular for me. Too many extraordinarily strong punches and impossible scenarios.

  I enjoyed the sets even though a lot of the background of the scenes still showed their fakeness through the screen.

  The Great Muppet Caper 1981

  ★★★ Watched 26 Oct 2021

  One of my favorite cameos happens in this movie with a detective on a bench and made the whole watch worth it. Otherwise while I enjoyed the movie I thought it had too many regular musical interludes instead of more fun/wacky ones. Plot is interesting but hinges more around a newsroom then a heist like I was expecting,not bad just different. Made me smile a number of times
