Film ● Mini-Review: Havoc
Starts compelling enough. Tries to be dark and gritty. No shortage of splatter. Both the storytelling and visuals have taken its title to heart a bit too much.

K-drama ● Review: The Fiery Priest II
Premise ups the threat by involving a drug cartel. Comedy tries too hard. It is as if the creators have forgotten what makes season 1 good.

Attempts to be in the spirit of the original. It does have the look and feel. Not brilliant but still moderately engaging and entertaining.
