Short and tight series. A little unfocused at first, somewhat children-orientated but also too dark for it to be. Still, mostly satisfying.

Original take. Basically a sci-fi mystery, which is fine in itself except it drags. Serious lack of Godzilla action. Wasted opportunity.

A somewhat ambitious take in terms of scale and its attempt to be original and true to the franchise. Can be tighter but not bad.

The book is about the tech that can manipulate Earth’s ionosphere with multiple applications. Highly generalized but a decent resource.

A tight narrative about an ugly woman’s desire for attention. Tragedy follows her decisions. Some plot conveniences but beautifully shot.

Tacky soundtrack. Lacks explanations re some plot points. Despite its problems, a tight narrative that is still mostly enjoyable.

Robert McCall is shot and needs time to recover in a picturesque Italian town. Takes too long to build and not enough action.

Set 15 years after Revival, a team of synths attempts to retrieve an Alien sample. Lacks the more refined execution of the previous volumes.

A convenient reference that describes the mechanisms of the immune system and vaccines, as well as going through existing literature.

Love story with parallel universes told in two films. Good production. Pacing is mostly good but a little clumsy at times. Worth viewing.

This is a 35-page book (or more like a booklet) that defends the weight of the consensus of the Church Fathers and Theologians. The text...

Lacks plot. Themes are apparent but under-developed. Mostly looks good. Relies too much on Park Bo-young and Seo In-guk to carry the show.

Shoujo romance about twins Chiki and Mami with their different mentalities towards relationships. Short, simple and relatively lighthearted.

Highly recommended mockumentary about a Norwegian boy band. Tightly written. Good performances. Hilarious songs. A modern classic.

Over-simplistic characters and plot can be more refined, but a decent drama about obnoxious influencers and social media.

Fresh take on the franchise with mother-and-daughter duo. Set pieces can be better. Good production. Not bad despite a little wokeness.

Office infidelity mystery-thriller. Sounds totally stupid, but is actually a solid drama about the subject, including its consequences.
