This blog acts as a personal journal of all the movies, Tv-Shows, & Games I consume during a year which enhances my overall experience. The ratings that I give are fully based on my personal preference and enjoyment at the time of watching and I'm writing spoiler-free reviews.
Hive Blog May Growth
I kind of picked up the pace a bit in May but still only got around watching 7 Movies as I'm spending way more time still plating Balatro daily. At the same time, my watchlist probably grew with 40+ movies / Tv-Shows / Games that I want to watch and play. The good thing is that I easily can pick my spot and almost everything I watch was worth the time in May with an average score I gave at 7.25.
I have also been getting some great support on my posts which kind of increases my sense of responsability and I to make each post worth it. Special Thanks to 
I continue to use all the HBD that I earn and convert it to Hive to get a extra HP lease on Hive-Engine so my vote becomes worth more and more. With some good payouts coming, I should be able to keep it well above 5000 HP and I'll start looking to increase the time of incoming leases to get more stability and less pressure.

I managed to have the biggest growth so far month over month increasing my holdings with 77.831 HP while the delegated Hive also grew a bit again.
I also had the biggest month when it comes down people who pressed the follow button at 11. I do know this will get harder and harder as time goes by. Myself now, I'm following 102 accounts but I want to keep it around 100 so I might unfollow a couple especially if there is less movie-related content or if there are these reblog overflows. The ones that I follow always have an increased change to get a manual upvote before I move on to the communities-new tab.

Pretty good numbers overall last month and I like to stick around this Quality/Quantity number when it comes down to post. I still use a https://hive.vote/ auto-upvote list so my voting doesn't go to 100% on days when I'm not around. I mainly looks at accounts who are good for Hive and/or have Media-related content. Right now on the list are 
I continue to do most curation manually though. My curation result last month inreased from 6.83% APR to now 8.70% which practically makes the leases pay for themselves.
May 2025 Movies Recap
I only watched movies last month and the 2 most memorable ones were A Silent Voice (7.9/10) which really grew on me a lot the days and the weeks after along with Sinners (7.9/10) which I'm really glad that I watched in the cinema as it really added a lot to it. I didn't go in with too much expectation but it did fully justify the high scores it is getting.
I watched one older movie with Fandango (7.5/10) which according to Tarantino is a masterpiece. I enjoyed watching it myself. As there was the news on the new Pope I ended up sticking with the theme and watched Conclave (7.0/10) which otherwise I would not have seen and it was actually better than I anticipated as it's not really the kind of movie I tend to like. In addition to this with the peak of the tennis season ongoing, I also watched Challengers (7.1/10)which also lived up to the hype.
I'm watching more and more Anime also and Perfect Blue (7.0/10) which gets a 8.0 score in imdb wasn't my thing even though I can understand why it's so highly rated. Finally Drop (6.4/10) was a mediocre no brain movie with a short runtime which served it's purpose.
June 2025 Outlook
I actually finished watching the 2nd season of Doctor who this evening which I will make a review on in a couple of days (Spoiler: I don't like Doctor Who anymore as the magic kind of is gone), I also plan to binge watch the 2nd season of Andor and have a bunch of moviesr ready which includes some older ones and some anime to choose from. The one I potentially want to go see in the Cinema is Bring Her Back which I avoided all spoilers on only knowing it's from the people that made Talk To Me which was the movie I enjoyed watched the most in 2023.
That's it for the May Recap!
