Pope Leo XIII’s first encyclical is hardly the most interesting document but it does show the circumstances at the time.

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.

Supernatural-cosmic horror. Sufficiently intriguing. Decent plotting and pacing. Generally a satisfying read.

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.

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

Grand Orient Freemasonry Unmasked by Monsignor George F. Dillon was originally one of two lectures given by the author in Edinburgh,...

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.

There are quite a few clones and derivatives of Taken since its release in 2008. Here are 35 mini-reviews.

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.

Typical contemporary horror fiction in many respects but with well-written twisted dark/black comedy.

Pope Pius IX (b. 13 May 1792 – d. 7 February 1878), born Giovanni Maria Mastai-Ferretti, began his pontificate on 16 June 1846. On 21...

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

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.

Decent production. More for fans of Dooku and Ahsoka, although Dooku’s fall to the dark side is handled well.

Not a bad fantasy-adventure despite plotting and pacing issues, partly made up by a strong performance from Davis.

Despite needing more action and attention to a few details, it is still a sufficiently satisfying revenge action-thriller.

Moderately enjoyable despite clumsy plotting. Good performances and would be better if the cast is given more to work with.

Lacks adventure for a fantasy-adventure and has pacing issues. But still, it’s not a bad film. It looks good and is memorable.

Not a bad revenge film about a young woman going after those responsible for her best friend’s death.
