Intense, grounded, and unsettling in the best way 🔥
#TheLostBus does a great job showing how terrifying wildfires can be, with strong performances and some genuinely powerful moments.

The Lost Bus (2025)
A tense, grounded survival drama that captures the terrifying reality of wildfires with strong performances.

Finally read #Circe by #MadelineMiller 🌊
A slow, emotional #GreekMythology retelling told from Circe’s point of view. Not perfect, but definitely rewarding if mythology is your thing. Glad I read this before the year ended 😁

⭐ 3.75/5

Circe
A thoughtful Greek myth retelling that’s emotional and slow at times but still rewarding if you love mythology as much as I do.

🎞️ Tried really hard to like this one, but #AvatarFireAndAsh just didn’t click for us 😕
Messy pacing, undercooked motivations, and a lot of action without payoff.

Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025)
A visually grand sequel that never finds its emotional or narrative footing.

☀️ #MinamiLane (by @dodoot.bsky.social) is a tiny, cozy management sim that’s super short but really sweet. Loved the cute visuals and chill vibes!

🎮 #IsThisSeatTaken is a cute, chill puzzle game; fun once, especially the movie theatre levels, but not replay-heavy.

Is This Seat Taken?
A chill, simple puzzle game that’s fun once but not replay-worthy. Cute, casual, and definitely a one-and-done.

📚 #HowToSolveYourOwnMurder by #KristenPerrin connects the past and present beautifully, even if a few twists felt a bit too dramatic.

⭐ 3.5/5 - dark, layered, and quietly intriguing.

How to Solve Your Own Murder
A slow but clever mystery that blends past and present, How to Solve Your Own Murder has its moments but doesn’t always hit the mark.

Sharp, funny, and packed with incredible performances 💥
🎞️ #TheRoses hooked me mainly because of its brilliant screenplay and the powerhouse pairing of #BenedictCumberbatch & #OliviaColman. Stylish, messy and very entertaining!

Honestly? #Thunderbolts was a good time. Slow in the beginning, but once it picks up, it’s actually one of the better Marvel films we’ve gotten recently!

A ★★★ review of Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025)
I finally watched Now You See Me: Now You Don’t and honestly, my reaction is… somewhere right in the middle. I guess this is one of those films that sits comfortably in the “fun but forgettable” zone....

🎞️ #TheRunningMan (2025) is fun but definitely rough around the edges. #GlenPowell is great, but the pacing is messy and it’s missing that signature #EdgarWright spark. Still enjoyed it for what it was! ⚡
