Feb 265 minK-drama ● Review: Strong Girl Nam-soonComedy tries too hard, mostly failing. Autopilot plotting. Characters are too simply written initially but are fuller in the second half.
Feb 63 minAnime Film ● Review: MaboroshiFantasy coming-of-age drama set in a town that is stuck in time. Unfocused and under-developed. But looks very good. Worth viewing.
Jan 63 minK-drama ● Review: Sweet Home 2Tries too hard with the action and gore. Lacks atmosphere and focus given the multiple plotlines and is presumably a setup for Season 3.
Nov 27, 20233 minK-drama ● Review: Daily Dose of SunshinePlot follows nurse working in the psychiatric ward. Good balance in tone. Good performances. Some structural clumsiness but a decent series.
Nov 12, 20236 minK-drama ● Review: The Uncanny CounterNothing 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.
Oct 17, 20233 minFilm ● Review: Re/MemberDespite being a time-loop story with a little clumsy structuring and cheesy montages, it is still a moderately enjoyable horror film.
Oct 10, 20234 minFilm Review: WillowNot a bad fantasy-adventure despite plotting and pacing issues, partly made up by a strong performance from Davis.
Oct 9, 20234 minFilm Review: BallerinaDespite needing more action and attention to a few details, it is still a sufficiently satisfying revenge action-thriller.
Sep 18, 20234 minAnime ● Review: Gamera RebirthShort and tight series. A little unfocused at first, somewhat children-orientated but also too dark for it to be. Still, mostly satisfying.
