Anime Review: Ergo Proxy
Post-apocalyptic cyberpunk with some detective noir inspiration. Visually excellent, dark and gritty. Starts strongly but tries too hard to be cerebral. Too slow and bloated.

Animation Review: Star Wars – Tales of the Underworld
Three episodes about Ventress and three about Cad Bane. Style is the same as before. One either likes it or not. However, the writing is much better than previous series.

Film Review: Bullet Train Explosion
Decent production and solid performances. Tension and suspense are not bad but plateaus later. As a cheesy action thriller, it is enjoyable enough even though it could use at least one more set piece.

Effective opening, then takes a quieter approach. Short and tight. Full of tropes which makes it amusing. Some hate it but is not a bad mild sci-fi horror-thriller.
