Overly simplistic plot and themes, lacks style, but is otherwise not a bad lighthearted action film despite the serious subject matter.

Anime ● Review: Terminator Zero
Good production. Mostly well-paced story in the spirit of the first two films even if it has a few problems. Dark and gloomy.

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.

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.

Predictable. Lacks action. Lacks tension. Disappointing no matter how much one loves Jessica Alba.

Cool warrior girl and humans versus evil AI. Nothing particularly good. No few problems but strangely not a complete waste of time.

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.

Film ● Review: Kill Bok Soon
It is not an action fest but rather a character-driven film. Looks good and well-produced. Korean film or not, can be tightened a bit.

Robert McCall is shot and needs time to recover in a picturesque Italian town. Takes too long to build and not enough action.

A sufficiently satisfying conclusion. Despite the long runtime, it actually doesn’t drag.

Merchandizing tool as expected. Writing is surprisingly not bad, but is ultimately about the artwork.
