Comics Review: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin – The Lost Years
A decent follow-up to The Last Ronin. Does not have the same emotional impact but does not cheapen the work either. Nicely produced.

Animated Film ● Review: Predator: Killer of Killers
Nothing great but still interesting to see different Predators in different eras. If one walks into this without any expectations, then it can still be enjoyable.

Anime Film Review: Wicked City
Looks impressive as a noir action-fantasy thriller. But it tries too hard to be edgy with all the sex and violence and comes across as a bit too cheese.

Anime Review: Ergo Proxy
Post-apocalyptic cyberpunk with some detective noir inspiration. Visually excellent, dark and gritty. Starts strongly but tries too hard to be cerebral. Too slow and bloated.

Anime ● Review: Plastic Memories
Looks slick and good voice acting but the plot and themes of this boy and girl android pseudo-romance are contrived. Tries to be emotion porn and fails.

Animation Review: Star Wars – Tales of the Underworld
Three episodes about Ventress and three about Cad Bane. Style is the same as before. One either likes it or not. However, the writing is much better than previous series.

Film Review: Bullet Train Explosion
Decent production and solid performances. Tension and suspense are not bad but plateaus later. As a cheesy action thriller, it is enjoyable enough even though it could use at least one more set piece.

Film ● Mini-Review: Havoc
Starts compelling enough. Tries to be dark and gritty. No shortage of splatter. Both the storytelling and visuals have taken its title to heart a bit too much.
