Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores (2023)
Why?
In summary, Burning Shores is simply a long side-quest for Forbidden West - Aloy has to fight more machines, kill off another bad guy and that's about it. There are a few new machines and weapons. By far the worst part of this is the introduction of Seyka and the option at the end to have them romantically involved. Why? Because it's clearly been done for publicity, which the media duly obliged. Also, they put the option right at the end of the DLC and in such a way that it has no impact on the main story, nor will it have any impact on the next game when it arrives. If Geurrilla were serious about this relationship they could have easily inlcuded it in the Forbidden West where it would have actally meant something. I hope I'm wrong and they actually make this romantic attachment actually mean something - I guess we'll have to wait a few years to find out.
Avatar (2009)
A visual delight, but that's about it
A film you can watch without having to concentrate on the plot...because there isn't one. The film steals from previous (better) films and just hides them behind pretty visuals. The acting is preety average too - again, Cameron clearly didn't want anyone stealing the show.
The Last Leg (2012)
Going downhill fast
Used to be funny, but it's been infected by the virus of social justice/identity politics. Give it a miss.
What the Health (2017)
Absolute garbage
This film should be put in the "fiction" category - it certainly doesn't fit into "factual" by any stretch of the imagination. It's basically one man's attempt to convert people to veganism using scare tactics, while making unsubstantiated claims based on no evidence. If you believe anything you see in this film, then convert to veganism now - leaves all the more meat for us rational people.
