Drama ● Review: The Acolyte
Clumsy plotting. Too many cringe moments. Jedi Master Squid Game carries the show.

Film Review: Captive State
Crude sci-fi depiction of current state of affairs. Not subtle. Clumsy structure (in a way) but maintains tension. Moderately interesting.

Drama Review: Secret Invasion
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.

Animation Review: Star Wars – Tales of the Empire
Writing is a little clumsy. Looks very good even if one is not a fan of the visual style.

Better execution than the first two parts but plotting is somewhat clumsy.

Anime ● Review: Megazone 23 Part I & Part II
Some consider it a modern classic. Interesting premise. Clumsy plotting. Cheesy and tries too hard with its gratuitous nudity and violence.

Anime ● Review: Black Rock Shooter: Dawn Fall
Cool warrior girl and humans versus evil AI. Nothing particularly good. No few problems but strangely not a complete waste of time.

Film ● Review: Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver
The heroes play farmer in the first half, then get into a shootout with imperial forces in the second. Cheesy and clumsy like Part One.

Animation ● Review: Star Wars – The Clone Wars
Basically an Ahsoka spin-off. Don’t expect too much. Do expect some cheese. Writing improves as the series progresses. Sufficiently amusing.

Anime ● Review: The Big O
Mecha-noir set in a domed city. Interesting premise but too ambitious. Somewhat unfocused and themes insufficiently explored.

Film Review: Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire
Another simple monster-fest as expected. Kong needs to take out a titan with Godzilla’s help who goes around collecting power-ups.

Film ● Review: Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire
A rebel’s cheesy recruitment drive against evil imperial forces. Not totally cringe but only because I don’t expect much from Hack Snyder.

Anime ● Review: SYNDUALITY Noir – Part 1
Typical sci-fi premise and setting. Decent voice acting and production. But plot is derivative. Nothing spectacular, mildly enjoyable.

Film ● Review: Jung_E
It is not a poorly made film but it is unfocused in both its themes and tone as ideas are just thrown out there but not elaborated on.

Animation Review: Star Wars – Tales of the Jedi
Decent production. More for fans of Dooku and Ahsoka, although Dooku’s fall to the dark side is handled well.

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