Pope Leo XIII (b. 2 March 1810 – d. 20 July 1903), born Gioacchino Vincenzo Raffaele Luigi Pecci, began his pontificate on 20 February 1878. His papacy is the fourth longest in the history of the Church. He is known for having composed the Prayer to Archangel St Michael and for the encyclical “ Humanum Genus ” on freemasonry published on 20 April 1884. As humanism and materialism were (and still are) promoted by freemasonry and its tentacles, spiritual matters get neglected i

Solid production and performances. Nicely shot. Thoroughly entertaining and funny film on cooking and the hospitality industry.

Simple dark fantasy-horror: kill the bad guy with a sword and save the world. Looks great but it’s a bit flat.

Good production and performances. Not bad and I want to like it more, but the writing is just not quite right.

Young woman learns of best friend’s suicide from years of abuse. She then steals her ashes to give her a proper send-off. Tight, good pacing. Solid effort. Nicely drawn.

This series follows five-year-old Yotsuba and her father as they settle into their new home. Simple and innocent slice-of-life comedy. Nicely drawn.

A form of the superhero genre with “immortal” warriors. Tries too hard with action and grit, so it just comes across as bland cheese. Meh.

As before, good production, decent pacing and moderately entertaining. But conclusion is somewhat rushed. Not that I expected much to begin with.

Twins swap places in a story about survival and finding one’s direction. Solid performances all around. Shot conventionally but nicely edited. Simple plot but the characters, relationships and themes make it more complex than it appears.

Guy wakes up in a parallel timeline dealing with an alien-infested world. Harem genre cheese with mecha. Looks clean but at times a bit cheap.

Afterlife and judgement psychological thriller. Visually solid. Mildly intriguing initially but not particularly gripping. Overall, tries a bit too hard.

Visually excellent. Intriguing premise. Entertaining enough military action-thriller with politics even if it is far-fetched.

Not the worst ever but unfocused and clumsy plotting and pacing with too many conveniences.

A decent follow-up to The Last Ronin. Does not have the same emotional impact but does not cheapen the work either. Nicely produced.

Nothing great but still interesting to see different Predators in different eras. If one walks into this without any expectations, then it can still be enjoyable.

Looks impressive as a noir action-fantasy thriller. But it tries too hard to be edgy with all the sex and violence and comes across as a bit too cheese.

Relatable corporate satire and dark comedy. Twisted and entertaining.

Simple and predictable romance but well-written enough for what it is. Superb rendering.

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.

Between Heaven and Hell  is an examination of the claims of Jesus Christ written in the form of a Socratic dialogue. It was first...

Looks slick and good voice acting but the plot and themes of this boy and girl android pseudo-romance are contrived. Tries to be emotion porn and fails.
