Darkest Dungeon is hands down one of my all-time favorite games: the art style, the gameplay mechanics, the challenge, the music and sound design, the dungeon crawling, and the base management — it all hits me like a thousand silver daggers. The sequel's been out for quite a while now, but I hadn’t dared to dive in before, since it’s such a major mechanical shift compared to the first game and I’d heard some mixed things about it.
Well, I finally took the plunge, and so far, I haven’t been disappointed, which has been a nice surprise. Though, to be fair, riding around in a stagecoach doesn’t quite beat building up my own little hamlet. Still, there’s plenty of stuff I loved in the first game that’s here too: turn-based combat, the amazing visual style, Stuart Chatwood’s fantastic soundtrack, and that deliciously grim atmosphere.
Let’s see how my thoughts shape up once I’ve played a bit more…

Tonight’s flick pick: Remo Williams - The Adventure Begins
Love me some Remo. When I read the books, I always picture him looking like Fred Ward, though.

Last night’s flick pick was Overlord.
I last saw this JJ Abrams production in theaters, and a lot of it had already faded from memory (it’s been almost seven years since the premiere, after all), so a rewatch was definitely in order.
I do like this movie – hell, it’s about as close as we’ll ever get to a Wolfenstein adaptation without actually being Wolfenstein – but I wish I liked it even more. It’s got all the makings of a (cult) classic: solid production, killer sets, costumes, and effects. But something about it just feels… well, meh.
Last night, I finally realized why: the characters are paper-thin, stereotypical caricatures, and none of the actors have much charisma (yeah, Wyatt ain’t his old man, that’s for sure). That side of things really drags the movie down. It’s not just that the American soldiers are bland – the main villain, played by Pilou Asbæk, is also incredibly forgettable and about as intimidating as a soggy sandwich.
Right now, this sits at a 3 or 3.5 out of 5 for me, depending on the mood, mostly thanks to the evil Nazi scientists and that sweet Wolfenstein vibe. But man, with a better cast and actual characters, this could’ve been a straight-up five-star banger.

Now here’s a movie I hadn’t seen in over 20 years. Talk about a trip down memory lane: I stumbled across the same special edition DVD I used to own a loong time ago while browsing a flea market.
Even back then, I remember wondering what the hell this movie had to do with the games beyond borrowing names like Umbrella Corporation, Raccoon City, and the T-virus, and using licker monsters. Milla Jovovich has zero charisma, the plot is plain dumb, the style of editing is super irritating, the CGI looked bad even at the time and the soundtrack is just annoying.
And yet… in its own way, it’s peak early 2000s cheese. And I mean this movie has tons and tons of cheese. There’s no way anyone could take this one seriously. Resident Evil is one of those ’so bad, it’s good’ flicks. But mostly it’s just soo bad, haha. Geez. My brain hurts now.

Today’s delicious Van Damme double feature: Kickboxer, a perfect appetizer, and Bloodsport, a perfect main course.
Both filled with martial arts goodness, Paul Hertzog’s synth-heavy tracks, and Stan Bush’s raspy songs – not to mention training montages with mustached masters, lots of splits, and nasty oriental opponents.
Kickboxer is already good, but Bloodsport is great – it’s my favorite JCVD flick and my favorite martial arts movie, improving on Kickboxer in every aspect: a better story, better action, better characters, better production values, a better theme song, and overall better music.

Finally got around to rewatching the amazing Pusher trilogy after way too long – and man, I just had to do a quick Nicolas Winding Refn appreciation post. So yeah, here it is: a Nicolas Winding Refn appreciation post.
Along with Lars von Trier, he’s one of Denmark’s finest gifts to us movie nerds.

Another day, another sick box set.
Just got my Captain Kronos from Hammer’s own web store, and I have to say this is one magnificent release. 2 UHD discs, 3 BDs, and plenty of other extras. Swashbuckling vampire hunting has never been this awesome!

Mail day!
Straight from Arrow Video: Don’t Torture a Duckling, fresh out of the oven in glorious 4K!
At the start of the year, I told myself I’d cut back on BD-to-UHD upgrades and focus on buying movies I don’t already own. But hey, there are always exceptions – for example, Fulci and other Italian gore masters need to be in the best possible format. If nothing else, just to show some support.
That said, I think most 4K releases don’t actually look that much better than Blu-ray, so it’s not always worth throwing money at UHD upgrades, especially when you could be picking up new flicks instead. Otherwise, you risk getting stuck in an endless upgrade cycle.
I still remember when the Blu-ray format hit the market. The jump from DVD (let alone VHS) to full HD was a massive leap, and movies genuinely looked so much better. Now, the difference between 1080p and 2160p in 4K is noticeably smaller… especially when it’s a half-assed cash grab.
That said, hats off to Second Sight, Severin, Arrow, and the rest who actually put time and effort into proper restorations.

I was cleaning out my cabinets yesterday when I stumbled upon my trusty old DS after who knows how long. This thing has been gathering dust out of sight for the past decade, but seriously – why?! It’s an awesome handheld with some top-tier games, including one of the best Alien-licensed games ever made: Aliens Infestation (2011).
This tense, Metroidvania-style sidescroller doesn’t waste any time before throwing you into the deep end, as your squad of colonial marines explores the wreck of the USS Sulaco and soon faces a horde of xenomorphs. For a “small” game, the production values are top-notch… Great graphics, an awesome soundtrack, and, of course, rock-solid gameplay.
