Some consider it a modern classic. Interesting premise. Clumsy plotting. Cheesy and tries too hard with its gratuitous nudity and violence.

The October Country is a collection of 19 short stories by Ray Bradbury (b. 22 August 1920 – d. 5 June 2012). A larger collection that...

Cool warrior girl and humans versus evil AI. Nothing particularly good. No few problems but strangely not a complete waste of time.

A few minor problems but otherwise another solid film by Shinkai.

The heroes play farmer in the first half, then get into a shootout with imperial forces in the second. Cheesy and clumsy like Part One.

Pope Leo XIII’s encyclical against socialism.

Basically an Ahsoka spin-off. Don’t expect too much. Do expect some cheese. Writing improves as the series progresses. Sufficiently amusing.

Mecha-noir set in a domed city. Interesting premise but too ambitious. Somewhat unfocused and themes insufficiently explored.

Another simple monster-fest as expected. Kong needs to take out a titan with Godzilla’s help who goes around collecting power-ups.

Making Choices: Practical Wisdom for Everyday Moral Decisions by Peter Kreeft, first published in 1990, is a text about morality and how...

German alternative-history pseudo-documentary film that is amusing without trivializing the subject or turning it into cheesy fear porn.

Solid action-mystery-thriller drama with decent pacing and signposting. Moderately intriguing. Entertaining.

An amusing and entertaining read, but the satire and black comedy can be taken further.

Amusing and fun series. Each episode can use more structure and take the satire further.

Moderately intriguing but unfocused. Offbeat but lacks comedy. Not bad but can be better executed.

The Holocaust Industry: Reflections on the Exploitation of Jewish Suffering by Norman G. Finkelstein, first published in 2000, is a short...

Conspirators’ Hierarchy: The Story of the Committee of 300 by Dr John Coleman, first published in 1991 or 1992, is about the elite that...

Nothing particularly original but good pacing, production and performances. Overall, both films are still solid and enjoyable.

Comedy tries too hard, mostly failing. Autopilot plotting. Characters are too simply written initially but are fuller in the second half.

This 12-part lecture series provides a good overview of philosophy with a Christian perspective.

Fantasy coming-of-age drama set in a town that is stuck in time. Unfocused and under-developed. But looks very good. Worth viewing.
