"Largely by-the-numbers with the only slightly distinguishing feature being the whimsy of having a cat-themed fantasy world. There is a brief moment of magic and wonder during the climax (the only such moment) where the main characters fly to safety by walking on the back of a group of birds, but even that magic is immediately broken when the protagonist asks if this hurts the birds. Why would you undercut this moment with vapid dialogue about real-world logic?"
80 91% The Boy and the Heron (2023) - Rated 14 Dec 2023
"As a work both by and about a master nearing the end of his life, this is perhaps Miyazaki's most introspective, confounding, and challenging film in his oeuvre. Where his previous films can contain muddled plotting and confusing character moments (I'm looking at you, Howl's and Ponyo), here, with its dreamy atmosphere, it actually works. This is a movie which asks the viewer to meet it halfway, which attempts to find comfort in its own ambivalence and Miyazaki's own mortality."
50 53% El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie (2019) - Rated 26 Nov 2023
35 32% Invincible (2021) - Rated 23 Nov 2023
"With superhero stories flooding both the TV and movie markets, Invincible markets itself as a superhero story with a twist-- what if superheroes... but ultraviolent and dark??? This might seem novel to some viewers unaccustomed to 90's comic trends, but even then this feels tired considering works like Injustice and The Boys coming out. A boring concept gives birth to a boring show with tired dark comedy and stiff action. The much lauded episode 1 fight feels like a Newgrounds short."
