Film ● Review: Officer Black Belt
Overly simplistic plot and themes, lacks style, but is otherwise not a bad lighthearted action film despite the serious subject matter.

Anime ● Review: Terminator Zero
Good production. Mostly well-paced story in the spirit of the first two films even if it has a few problems. Dark and gloomy.

Film Review: Trigger Warning
Predictable. Lacks action. Lacks tension. Disappointing no matter how much one loves Jessica Alba.

Film ● Mini-Review: Agent Game
Starts strongly enough. Relies on the cast to hold it together. Final act could use better writing and way better execution. Meh.

Film ● Mini-Review: Shadow in the Cloud
Opening tries too hard. Unnecessarily feminist when a good actress is playing the lead role. Silly but surprisingly entertaining.

Drama Review: Secret Invasion
Not bad but could go further with the paranoia and suspense. Think of it as a version of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Decent pacing but derivative. Needs more convincing firefights. Solid performances mask the cheesiness. Still entertaining and funny.

Anime ● Review: Black Rock Shooter: Dawn Fall
Cool warrior girl and humans versus evil AI. Nothing particularly good. No few problems but strangely not a complete waste of time.

Animation ● Review: Star Wars – The Clone Wars
Basically an Ahsoka spin-off. Don’t expect too much. Do expect some cheese. Writing improves as the series progresses. Sufficiently amusing.

Not intended to be a fast-paced action-packed thriller. Steady pacing. Not overly stylized. Impersonal but still interesting enough.
