  • The Descent

    The Descent

    I’ve seen this one a few times, actually, so I rewatched it because I don’t think I ever saw the Descent 2 and wanted to revisit it. I remember young me, 12 years old, thinking, oh god. Juno is hot. It’s a good movie, led by an all-female cast. I love cave creature movies and…

    Delico’s Nursery

    This anime was actually recommended to me by my brother, so of course I just watched it the whole thing. I’m wondering if they wanted to make another season? I’m on stand by. The trailer gives you a sort of whimsical sense, right? Right? WRONG IT’S ONLY LIKE THAT FOR MAYBE TWO EPISODES, THIS IS…
