Film ● Review: Kill Bok Soon
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.

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

Film ● Review: Re/Member
Despite being a time-loop story with a little clumsy structuring and cheesy montages, it is still a moderately enjoyable horror film.

Film ● Review: Jung_E
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.

Animation Review: Star Wars – Tales of the Jedi
Decent production. More for fans of Dooku and Ahsoka, although Dooku’s fall to the dark side is handled well.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Anime Films ● Review: Godzilla Trilogy
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.

Angels Don’t Play This HAARP by Dr Nick Begich and Jeane Manning
The book is about the tech that can manipulate Earth’s ionosphere with multiple applications. Highly generalized but a decent resource.

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