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.

Film ● Mini-Review: The Killer
Not intended to be a fast-paced action-packed thriller. Steady pacing. Not overly stylized. Impersonal but still interesting enough.

Film ● Review: Blacklight
Tries to be some sort of action-thriller but fails. Too many conveniences and inconsistencies. Can skip.

Film ● Review: Violence Action
Tries to be the “cute young woman assassin taking on the yakuza” action-comedy. Tries too hard to look cool. And fails. Messy plotting.

K-drama ● Review: The Uncanny Counter
Nothing brilliant, nor does it need to be. Tries to be cool. Season 1 is not bad. Season 2’s plotting and pacing issues are more apparent.

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.

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.

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.

Film ● Mini-Review: The Equalizer 3
Robert McCall is shot and needs time to recover in a picturesque Italian town. Takes too long to build and not enough action.

Comics Review: Alien – Icarus
Set 15 years after Revival, a team of synths attempts to retrieve an Alien sample. Lacks the more refined execution of the previous volumes.

Anime Review: Star Wars – Visions 1
Whilst not a bad effort overall, they are nothing great. A few are recommended.

A sufficiently satisfying conclusion. Despite the long runtime, it actually doesn’t drag.

Revival collects Issues 7 to 12 and is set two years after the events of Bloodlines.

It’s basically Luc Besson’s updated, Cold War version of Le Femme Nikita starring a Russian model.
