In 2006, a group of thieves performed what is considered one of the most famous and smart bank heists in the history of Argentina when they rob the Banco Río branch in Acassuso. Good crime comedy, feeling like a Latin-American Ocean’s Eleven. It entertains properly and it will keep you glued to the screen for a bit...

Started in the summer of 2001, in an internet cafe (RIP Mister G, you were a great guy!), I used to stay for hours using the site builder web editor that Tripod was giving for their free plans. I used to have a few pages, and unfortunately, only a Halloween-themed version survived and was somehow indexed by the Web...

It’s not a secret that many times, the music is what makes the difference between a good game and a great game, and it’s not seldom when the music department saves a pretty bad story. So without further ado, I want to share some songs that I like that are part of various games’ soundtracks. Forza Horizon 4 > ODESZA...

Back in October 2024, I wrote an article called “Lost in Translation” about how the language barrier can prevent us from discovering new things and experiencing other cultures and it has evolved into a small social project. During the 46 months that have passed since then, the article has been translated in twelve...

a half-assed review"> A test subject wakes up in a scientific facility controlled by a sadistic artificial intelligence and must escape with the help of the only instrument she has–a gun that makes portals. I think this is the game I have finished the most times, and I think I bought it at least several times: Mac...

A leading team of analysts are buried in the heart of GCHQ, secretly working to neutralise threats against Britain. Good TV Drama about cyber security and the unseen war. It feels a bit over the top at times, and it drifts into sentimental bullshit, which is unlikely for British TV, but it’s still a solid thriller....

Looking back, seems I didn’t post too much this year, but most of the posts in my Quickies section was of people passing away. Sad year, sad, sad, sad. Keep your loved ones close. Call your mum. This article was originally published at: https://andrei.xyz/quickies/prety-sad-year-so-far/

Rest in Peace, Hayden. Guess we couldn’t save the cheerleader. :( This article was originally published at: https://andrei.xyz/quickies/save-the-cheerleader-save-the-world/

Jake Pentecost, son of Stacker Pentecost, reunites with Mako Mori to lead a new generation of Jaeger pilots, including rival Lambert and 15-year-old hacker Amara, against a new Kaiju threat. It’s badly written, but at least it’s got cool robots and kaijus and that’s it. A major letdown in comparison to its...

As a war between humankind and monstrous sea creatures wages on, a former pilot and a trainee are paired up to drive a seemingly obsolete special weapon in a desperate effort to save the world from the apocalypse. It’s got huge robots, it’s got kaiju, this is basically big budget Power Rangers with decent writing...

A night in the life of a 24-hour ‘Non-Stop’ store located in a neighborhood of apartment buildings. Four people lead different stories connected by a key character, Achim, the owner of the Non-Stop. Good Romanian movie, and although it’s listed as a comedy, it’s not that much funny, but it will makes you think about...
