Straightforward cop thriller, well-written and well-produced enough. Enjoyable but nothing special.

Minneapolis, MN – After the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Good by ICE agents, Minneapolis Public Schools have cancelled classes for the remainder of the week “out of an abundance of caution”. “We like being cautious, like putting tampons in boys’ toilets in case they need them,” said public school official Georgina Kantdrife, “so we thought we cancel school in case staff want to go protest ICE.” At least some Minnesotan students agree. “I think that’s a great idea,” sai

Nothing great but a solid series nonetheless. Decent writing, good performances and well-produced.

Sydney, Australia – After watching the US military operation in Venezuela in which Nicolás Maduro was swiftly captured, an Australian man is wondering when the US will conduct a similar raid in the country. “I know our crime rate is not that bad and cartels don’t operate overtly here but still, there are plenty of criminals and commies, especially in government, who need to be dealt with,” said the man. Others share a similar sentiment given Australia’s traditional alliance w

Caracas, Venezuela – Former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has won a free trip to the United States. “We’ve copped a lot of flak for shoving people back to places like Venezuela,” said US President Donald Trump, “and I don’t wanna be insensitive to that, which is why I’m giving Nicki here a free trip to our country. And new tracksuits too.” President Trump clarified that the trip is in the spirit of the new year and not because Maduro is a “commie cartel-kissing fat tub

Melbourne, Australia – Young Asians, mostly high school and university students from Southeast Asia, have banded together to protest against knife crime perpetrated by those of Middle Eastern descent. “It’s a disgrace,” said Hac Yu, a student in year 11. “There was a time when it was just Asians who carried knives or meat cleavers and actually whipped them out to use them on people. Now it’s all brown people.” Jon Lee, a commerce undergraduate student, agrees: “I remember a t

Starts a bit slow and the villains are too simplistic. Conclusion is too rushed but is overall not a bad thriller-drama with some effective tension.

Not bad even though it can be much better. Can look darker and grittier. Admittedly not the easiest short story to adapt, but at least the screenplay is written by the original author.

The US Department of War has issued a statement reassuring all Americans—North, Central and South—that the recently issued NOTAMS near Venezuela are part of the upcoming Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations. “The NOTAMS are for all the fat turkeys that we intend to send to Venezuela,” said spokesman Vincent Bomdashiottau from the War Department, “because we love President Maduro and the cartels and we want our turkeys to get to them safely.” The effort is in recognition of

Journalist reports woman going overboard but nobody believes her. Nothing particularly interesting but is intriguing enough initially. Becomes laughable later.

Nicely shot and intriguing film about life in a village surrounded by forbidden woods.

Drama-comedy about a rookie cop learning the ropes. Has good balance between being half-realistic and being comical. Solidly produced.

Lacks plot and focus. Has elements of action, thriller and drama, but manages to be none of them.

Nothing spectacular but continues to be a well-produced and fun show with ridiculous action.

Good production but lacks an intriguing plot. There are a few cool scenes but not enough.

Hong Kong police noir film with key moments of black comedy: A fatso cop loses his gun and asks his friend in PTU not to report it. Nicely shot and edited. A modern classic.

Just saying hypothetically…

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

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