Anime ● Review: Cyber City Oedo 808
Classic cyberpunk. The plot and characters are engaging enough, and the visuals are awesome. It deserves at least eight episodes rather than just three.

Film Review: Gladiator II
Follows the same template as the first film, which is fine in itself. It’s not bad but it is nothing special, so it comes across as an unnecessary sequel.

K-drama Review: As You Stood By
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.

Film ● Review: The Woman in Cabin 10
Journalist reports woman going overboard but nobody believes her. Nothing particularly interesting but is intriguing enough initially. Becomes laughable later.

Film ● Review: The Amateur
Spy thriller with a guy who can’t shoot, which is refreshing. Solidly produced. Steady pacing. Some elements can be better developed; definitely not a bad film but nothing spectacular either.

Film ● Mini-Review: Protector
Despite being unconventional in a few ways, and there is some cool action which Jovovich sells pretty well, the overall execution still comes across as too cheap and cheesy.

Film Review: Brick (2025)
German mystery-thriller in which a couple in an apartment wake up to find themselves walled in. The “closed world” premise is fine but the story is not planned out well.

Anime Film Review: Wicked City
Looks impressive as a noir action-fantasy thriller. But it tries too hard to be edgy with all the sex and violence and comes across as a bit too cheese.
