Looks good enough with solid performances. But the initial pacing is too slow and the comedy falls flat.

An Exorcist Tells His Story  is a book about exorcism by Fr Gabriele Amorth, SSP (b. 1 May 1925 – d. 16 September 2016) first published...

Mostly looks good. Doesn’t try as hard as Volume 1, which is a good thing, but nothing special.

Dark sci-fi cyberpunk set in a vast, lifeless cityscape in the distant future. Looks good. Not a bad story. Solid worldbuilding.

An anthology that mostly looks good but most of the episodes try too hard.

Stereotypical cold male lead and soft female lead. Intriguing premise but the plotting and pacing need to be better. Relies too much on Chae Soo-bin to carry the show.

Excellent black comedy horror that satirizes fine dining. Nicely shot with good performances.

Pope Leo XIII (b. 2 March 1810 – d. 20 July 1903), born Gioacchino Vincenzo Raffaele Luigi Pecci, began his pontificate on 20 February...

German mystery-thriller in which a couple in an apartment wake up to find themselves walled in. The “closed world” premise is fine but the story is not planned out well.

Young woman is trapped in the forest with mysterious beings. She meets three others, and they eventually try to escape. Looks good enough. A little clumsy but not bad. Lacks wow factor.

Mariology  is a two-volume text in English, first published in 1946, of the work by German priest Matthias Joseph Scheeben (b. 1835 – d....

Solid production and performances. Nicely shot. Thoroughly entertaining and funny film on cooking and the hospitality industry.

Simple dark fantasy-horror: kill the bad guy with a sword and save the world. Looks great but it’s a bit flat.

Good production and performances. Not bad and I want to like it more, but the writing is just not quite right.

Young woman learns of best friend’s suicide from years of abuse. She then steals her ashes to give her a proper send-off. Tight, good pacing. Solid effort. Nicely drawn.

This series follows five-year-old Yotsuba and her father as they settle into their new home. Simple and innocent slice-of-life comedy. Nicely drawn.

A form of the superhero genre with “immortal” warriors. Tries too hard with action and grit, so it just comes across as bland cheese. Meh.

As before, good production, decent pacing and moderately entertaining. But conclusion is somewhat rushed. Not that I expected much to begin with.

Twins swap places in a story about survival and finding one’s direction. Solid performances all around. Shot conventionally but nicely edited. Simple plot but the characters, relationships and themes make it more complex than it appears.
