Film ● Reviews: The Old Guard & The Old Guard 2
A form of the superhero genre with “immortal” warriors. Tries too hard with action and grit, so it just comes across as bland cheese. Meh.

K-drama ● Review: The Uncanny Counter
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.
