Pope Leo XIII (b. 2 March 1810 – d. 20 July 1903), born Gioacchino Vincenzo Raffaele Luigi Pecci, began his pontificate on 20 February...

Nothing special, the premise is maybe a little forced, but still a decent side story.

Boston, MA – A boy had difficulty choosing between playing with his grandfather or watching the US presidential debate on CNN. “Grandpa...

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

Solid character-driven work that is not cringe. Visually superb.

Ninja family vs rival clan. Nicely shot. A few points regarding characters and conflict can be better, but intriguing and entertaining.

A few minor problems but otherwise another solid film by Shinkai.

Pope Leo XIII’s encyclical against socialism.

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

Comedy tries too hard, mostly failing. Autopilot plotting. Characters are too simply written initially but are fuller in the second half.

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

It actually is in the Bible.

Pope Leo XIII’s first encyclical is hardly the most interesting document but it does show the circumstances at the time.

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

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.

Not a bad fantasy-adventure despite plotting and pacing issues, partly made up by a strong performance from Davis.

Pope Pius IX (b. 13 May 1792 – d. 7 February 1878), born Giovanni Maria Mastai-Ferretti, began his pontificate on 16 June 1846. On 8...

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

Lacks plot. Themes are apparent but under-developed. Mostly looks good. Relies too much on Park Bo-young and Seo In-guk to carry the show.
