Caoimhe’s reviews

The 1995 film is my only experience with the series, so this was sillier and hornier than I was expecting, and it was interesting to see scenes from that reappear here in very different contexts.

I was quite bad at the original Mercenaries and in comparison this feels far too easy, even putting aside the silly mayhem mode powerup win button.

It’s funny how this works to siphon off Wesker and a few other sillier elements of the main story from the original game away from the slightly more serious RE4make, but it ends up over-egging the pudding in that regard.

It might sound strange to say but I think that the Resident Evil 2 RE2make actually felt more true to the original the the Resident Evil 4 REmake does.

The film is at its best and most unpleasant when it’s taking seriously the mental hell that Nikki is being subjected to and, while Inde Navarrette’s performance is great, I found it tipped over the line into comedic when Nikki is being more overly creepy,…

I knew, like many other series, that these films lean more towards horror comedy as they go on, but I didn’t realise that the original got so slapstick in parts.

There is still some joy to wring out of this.

I do not have much experience with or particular attachment to the backrooms concept, but the film’s set design and vibes are enough to carry it and keep it interesting for much of the runtime despite the weaker parts of the narrative.

I would like to appreciate for a moment that, for all that is happening politically in the world right now, that a film like this can have run of more than week in the local mainstream cinema.

The show continues to wear its anime inspirations on its sleeve with The Death of Superman by way of the Cell Saga.

I can see why the expressive and fluid moveset offered really grabbed people and inspired to come back and build on the original tech demo, but unfortunately the rest of the game acts as a good showcase on how mechanics and level design are dependant on e…

You can betray someone with a word or an action.

There are a lot of ill-considered jokes in this but I do find the silliness of the whole thing very charming and while I am not going to pretend that the cross-dressing bits are in any way trans positive I did very much enjoy it when a man questions Gordon

I’m not really sure how to review The Simpsons.

Short and brutal.

Really enjoying this arc so far.

Continues to be fine if not that interesting.

The year is 20XY.

Biblically accurate horse.

It was easy for me to be cynical about this game going in and assuming that it would be taking a wonderful game and throwing out the things that made it special in order to make something acceptably modern, but the RE2make is a wonderful game that doesn’t…

An incredible blend of Sonic the Hedgehog, Kirby and Dragon Ball and, other than the music and some art, made by one very skilled Brazilian man.

Charming homage to Metroid for its 40th anniversary made by a friend.

Weird one!

Such a wonderfully fun film that goes all in on what it does.

After some early weirdness we are already into the golden era of The Simpsons as marked by a new intro sequence.

It is shocking how much I loved Haste despite hating its entire roguelite structure.

Environmental Station Alpha is unfortunately equal parts wonderful and frustrating.
