Plot follows nurse working in the psychiatric ward. Good balance in tone. Good performances. Some structural clumsiness but a decent series.

Not intended to be a fast-paced action-packed thriller. Steady pacing. Not overly stylized. Impersonal but still interesting enough.

A Refutation of Moral Relativism by Peter Kreeft
Relevant. Easily accessible. Not as fun as his other Socratic dialogues but it’s far from boring or dry.

Tries to be some sort of action-thriller but fails. Too many conveniences and inconsistencies. Can skip.

Film ● Review: Violence Action
Tries to be the “cute young woman assassin taking on the yakuza” action-comedy. Tries too hard to look cool. And fails. Messy plotting.

K-drama ● Review: The Uncanny Counter
Nothing brilliant, nor does it need to be. Tries to be cool. Season 1 is not bad. Season 2’s plotting and pacing issues are more apparent.

Film ● Review: Kill Bok Soon
It is not an action fest but rather a character-driven film. Looks good and well-produced. Korean film or not, can be tightened a bit.

Despite being a time-loop story with a little clumsy structuring and cheesy montages, it is still a moderately enjoyable horror film.

Film ● Review: Jung_E
It is not a poorly made film but it is unfocused in both its themes and tone as ideas are just thrown out there but not elaborated on.

Animation Review: Star Wars – Tales of the Jedi
Decent production. More for fans of Dooku and Ahsoka, although Dooku’s fall to the dark side is handled well.
