Marvel Movie Reviews w/ Rambo - Spiderman (2002)

This movie is not new to me; I saw it many times growing up. If any of the Spider-Man movies were to be a first-time experience for me, it would be any pick from the Tom Holland collection, as I have not seen them yet. Because of that, Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield have been my only two for comparison, and I have always preferred Tobey.

While a comparison of this film to a modern film may show where it is lacking in cinematic skills and character, it was one of the best of its time. Showing many fine details, such as reflecting hard choices in the eyes of the characters. If there was one thing I had to say was wrong with the movie, it would be that it takes the characters far too long to come to realizations, such as Peter not fully recognizing who the Green Goblin really was. But that is not the fault of the director; that is the fault of the author who chose to make it that way. And this is not the first time a story has had that involvement; many stories possess clueless main characters who can not see the truth until it's too late.

!!! SPOILERS BELOW !!!

• Not him stealing Peter's line about camouflage to impress the girl ... not once but twice.
• Oh, I didn't realize the spider that bit Peter was genetically mutated; I thought it was just radioactive from the lab or something.
• I also never realized that the spider that bit him was red and blue in color; now it makes sense where he got his outfit colors from.
• He couldn't even make it onto his bed, which is crazy considering he made it all the way home and up to his room.
• Should it really have only taken him one day to get over the sickness?
• The glasses really did make him look like a dork.
• Why does the banner sticking to his hand make him look like he suddenly knows what is going on? It could have just been glue or tape.
• I love that most of the people don't care how or why Peter suddenly is super cool and standing up for himself; they just like that he turned hot essentially; his friends are the only ones that actually care that he is okay.
• Why is his first thought to try climbing a wall and then jumping across the roofs?
• He has too much faith in his powers before truly knowing what he can even do.
• He forgot about poor Uncle Ben and painting, for shame.
• He doesn't need to get mad at Uncle Ben like that; he just cares about him, is all.
• The guy killing Uncle Ben is what really made Spider-Man a hero; before that, he probably would've just used it for small stuff, not catching criminals.
• It is, however, unfortunate to think that if he had just stopped that crook from the beginning instead of letting him take the elevator, he may not have KO'd Uncle Ben at all.
• I feel like there's a lot of filler with them graduating and going to New York.
• What is it with companies thinking they can just vote out the creators?? I don't understand why we give other people the ability to own more of our business than us. He had the right to become a villain, to be honest.
• Why are there 4 of them ganging up on MJ?
• Sure, let's let the Spiderman that you were about to arrest go into the collapsing building that you won't even let your firemen into, and plan on arresting him after. Like what?
• You know, you would think he would have had time to wrap his wound if he had time to get changed.
• Taking out Aunt Mae after he has already lost Uncle Ben is diabolical.
• Showing the two options falling in his eyes was a very well-done cinematic choice.
• There is NO way she would have been able to stay attached to that cable.
• Sometimes, the way the Green Goblin talks makes me think of them Italian mob bosses.
• I never realized you could see the Green Goblins' real mouth through the mesh of the mask ... why does he bear his teeth like that?
• Wait. How did Peter not realize that the Green Goblin was Mr. Osbourne? I thought he figured it out when he realized that the Green Goblin knew who he was.
• Y'know, it's really hard to understand why Harry blames Spider-Man for his father's death when his father was the literal villain.
• He doesn't know that, though, at least not yet.
• You hear about guys getting friend-zoned a lot, but the girl getting friend-zoned is something else.

Gaming Reviews?

Hello friends, and welcome to another post. I hope you are having a great day so far. I wanted to write about an app that I found for mobile recently, it's called minimap, and you can track all of your achievements on there as long as you link your accounts. I will say I have emailed the team asking why there isn't a button to connect to Epic Games, because I am loving the graphs it uses to show you how many achievements you have gained. 

If you are an achievement hunter trying to beat your all time record of achievements this is for you, it lets you post all of your achievements and there is a section where you can write reviews about the games that you play so I am thinking maybe I will do about 4 game reviews in one blog post so it isn't so short but you get to see what I have been up to before it comes out on my YouTube channel or even after a stream. I will start off with the few core games I love, and I will try to keep this as neat as I humanly can. If you do check out minimap, if you would like to drop me a follow, my username is LillyLeather420 YT. 

I know my life isn't filled with a lot of new experiences, but I am more of a home person. I don't like to leave my safe zone, but I do really like trying different games out, so much so that I could not tell you what types of games are my favourite. I do know what games I gravitate to, but only in the title sense, not a category. These reviews will be in no particular order. 

Dead by Daylight - I have over 1000 hours in this game because it is so good. I started on Xbox and then moved to Steam. Don't get me wrong, there are some not-so-great people who play this game, and they can be horrible in end-game chat. There are people who full-on troll whilst playing, but they play how they want to play, and you can play how you want to play. Your game style may upset other people, but as long as it isn't a reportable offence, you should be fine. I have met many great people whilst playing, and that is a giant part of why I continue to play. Because you meet those lovely people who want to farm with you, or you have a funny moment. It's really great to connect with people. I do wish they would have end game chat for Xbox, switch and PlayStation users, but hopefully they will bring that in in the future. Play on your own or with friends. I find myself taking breaks from it and coming back to it all the time. Can't wait for new killers and survivors, and 2v8 is my all-time favourite game mode, so I always love it when that comes back. 4.5/5

ASKA - This game is stunning visually. I streamed it and even played off-stream; I was that addicted to it. It is hard to play on your own, and there is definitely a learning curve. The first winter, I kept dying over and over, so I am a little traumatised anytime winter rolls around, but you just have to be prepared, and I really wasn't. I don't want to scare people away from this game because it is genuinely one of my favourites. I do recommend playing with friends because it will be easier. I think you can play with 4 people. The blood moons can be a little tricky, but if you just follow what the wisps tell you to, you should be fine. I love that there is a fishing aspect because fishing games can be some of the most chilled games, so it's nice to just choose to fish while you let your villagers chop trees, gather food and rocks, build a train and protect the base. You can never have enough flax. If you think it's enough, you are wrong. Get more. You will find you need it for crafting just about everything. Exploring is amazing, and I haven't even gotten into building the ships and sailing across the ocean to new islands. I cannot wait until I am at that point. 5/5

Bongo Cat - This little pixel cat has motivated me so many times to write YouTube descriptions or blog posts and now reviews because I want to be able to open the chests. I will never run out of clicks. It's almost the mentality that most people have for Pokémon, but instead of gotta catch 'em all, it's gotta collect all the skins and hats. You can dress your little typing companion anyway you want, and you can have your friends on the screen too. There are achievements for all you achievement hunters out there.  Try it cause why not its free, and I think you will find you quite like it, sitting in the corner of your screen. I love mine so much. 5/5

Minecraft - I spent a lot of my time before becoming more of a social game player playing Minecraft. I love the updates they bring out regularly. It's nice that a game that is quite old still has people thinking about it. So many great people are in the Minecraft community and actually make a living off this one game all on its own. Your only limit in this is your imagination; you don't have to be creative to play it, though. You can play at your own pace, go exploring, tend to crops, look after your own animals, raid temples, and battle enemies. I see why people love it so much. I love it so much. Build and create or destroy its up to you what you do. Invite your friends to worlds and share in the caving experiences. You might argue that the game has everything, and it genuinely might. 5/5

Thank you so much for reading. I really hope you like my reviews. I may be able to get these out every other week, but when I run out of games I have tried, they will be fewer and farther between. Have a great rest of your day, and I will be back with another post in a week. :)

The Girl In The Attic Movie Review

Hello, and welcome to another movie review. This was not a movie I had planned to watch; it was just because I couldn't find other parts of it on TikTok, so I hope you enjoy the summary and the review.

Billy moved back in with his mum after she was in a car accident. She is in a wheelchair and has limited mobility. She gave Billy some money to fix up the attic into a gym. He ends up kidnapping Kelsy when she is out on a run. She had lost her mum and wanted to raise money to make her proud, so she was going to do a half-marathon. He kept Kelsy in the attic for over a year. One day, his mum crawls up there and tells Kelsy to leave. Kelsy manages to convince his mum that she was abducted, and she leaves for her phone that she dropped on the stairs. Billy heard everything. He flushes his mum's arthritis pills away and hides the rest. Kelsy has to do all the chores around the house because Billy thinks she is his wife. Kelsy and the mum work together to try to escape. Kelsy finds his mum's pills and manages to get them to her. When Kelsy and Billy are moving the mum, she scratches Billy. Kelsy then has to give the mum a manicure. Billy doesn't let her finish. He wants to be satisfied and takes Kelsy upstairs, leaving the mum in the living room. The mum pours nail polish remover on a rug, strikes a match, and drops it on the rug at exactly 5pm. The neighbour that the mum is friends with goes out for a walk every day at 5pm, rain or shine. She has hearing aids and hears the fire alarms going off from down the block. They arrest Billy, who tried to escape out the window, and rescue the two women. This movie is much like another abduction movie I have seen before.

 I only watched it because I saw a clip on TikTok on one of those pages that never has a part 2 (if you are one of these people, please be better). I needed to know what happened. I am glad they both got out. I will say trigger warning, there is rape in this movie, so please, if you watch it, be aware. It wasn't a bad movie, I just think a lot of things could have been summed up more, since the movie was 84 mins, it could have contained more of the daily life both women had to endure. There were a lot of cuts to black screens, given how long it has been since Kelsy went missing. A few clips of her dad looking upset or lost would have added a little more flavor. Overall, I think it's a 5/10. It was good, and I enjoyed it, but I would not watch it again.

Thank you so much for reading, and if you watch this, I really hope you enjoy it.
