Decent and entertaining mild sci-fi horror. Despite whatever weaknesses, it is measured and consistent in most respects.

Solid coming-of-age, slice-of-life romance. Can argue about plotting and pacing but it is emotionally realistic.

Moderately funny but can be dark and serious in parts. Measured and balanced in most respects. Entertaining.

Post-climate-change-apocalyptic premise. Uninteresting with too many annoyances.

Decent production. Not bad, but the plot and themes could use more development as it is a little unfocused.

Moderately intriguing. Pacing can be better but no big deal. Nicely edited. Amusing score. Go Min-si is flipping nuts. But in a good way.

Solidly enjoyable slice-of-life drama-comedy about a 27-year-old given a chance to relive the final year of high school.

Opening is a bit muddled but settles into a grim slice-of-life “try to leave out our final days in peace” drama. Ending is bad and cheap.

Clumsy plotting. Too many cringe moments. Jedi Master Squid Game carries the show.

Amusing and entertaining but can be deeper and funnier. Good production and performances.

Predictable. Lacks action. Lacks tension. Disappointing no matter how much one loves Jessica Alba.

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.

The October Country  is a collection of 19 short stories by Ray Bradbury (b. 22 August 1920 – d. 5 June 2012). A larger collection that...

Solid action-mystery-thriller drama with decent pacing and signposting. Moderately intriguing. Entertaining.

Nothing particularly original but good pacing, production and performances. Overall, both films are still solid and enjoyable.

Fantasy coming-of-age drama set in a town that is stuck in time. Unfocused and under-developed. But looks very good. Worth viewing.

Plot follows nurse working in the psychiatric ward. Good balance in tone. Good performances. Some structural clumsiness but a decent series.

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

A tight narrative about an ugly woman’s desire for attention. Tragedy follows her decisions. Some plot conveniences but beautifully shot.

Tacky soundtrack. Lacks explanations re some plot points. Despite its problems, a tight narrative that is still mostly enjoyable.
