Film ● Mini-Review: Havoc
Starts compelling enough. Tries to be dark and gritty. No shortage of splatter. Both the storytelling and visuals have taken its title to heart a bit too much.

Film ● Review: Demon City
Ex-assassin goes on a revenge hack-fest. Mostly looks fine. Pacing is not bad but overall not particularly captivating.

Film Review: The Happening
Effective opening, then takes a quieter approach. Short and tight. Full of tropes which makes it amusing. Some hate it but is not a bad mild sci-fi horror-thriller.

J-drama Review: Who Saw the Peacock Dance in the Jungle?
Plot progression is a bit convenient. But decent production and the two strong leads carry the show. Strangely watchable despite the issues.

Anime Review: Sakamoto Days (Part 1)
Nothing spectacular but still a well-produced and fun show. It strikes the balance between having an overall arc and being episodic.

K-drama ● Review: Hellbound Season 2
Plot-driven, focused on human and material aspects with the supernatural taking a backseat. Entertaining and, intended or not, even comical.

K-drama ● Review: Grid
Attempts to be a sci-fi mystery-thriller trying to catch a time-traveller. Not a bad idea but pacing could be better and not enough closure.

Film ● Review: Officer Black Belt
Overly simplistic plot and themes, lacks style, but is otherwise not a bad lighthearted action film despite the serious subject matter.

K-drama ● Review: The Frog
Moderately intriguing. Pacing can be better but no big deal. Nicely edited. Amusing score. Go Min-si is flipping nuts. But in a good way.

Film Review: Lumberjack the Monster
Mystery with elements of a horror-thriller framed in a fairy tale–like story. Nothing bad. Just flat. Plotting and themes are a bit clumsy.

Implausible plot progression. Constant action with decent cast and performances can’t save it.
