Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX: Beginning (2025) - Rated 01 Mar 2025
"Like most of the Gundam adaptation movies, I'd wait until you've seen the show before watching this. Anyway, depicting a semi-victorious Zeon as operating much in the same way as the U.S. during the Cold War (e.g. supporting independent states but largely undermining their sovereignty, selling them outdated weapons platforms) shows that Universal Century Gundam still has the juice. And since Anno wrote this, yes, the most powerful institutions in the world complain about budget overruns."
Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie (1994) - Rated 29 Jan 2025
"The third act is a little rough, but everything before then is sufficiently campy fun. Chun-Li vs. Vega is pretty sweet."
Revolutionary Girl Utena: The Movie (1999) - Rated 29 Jan 2025
"I genuinely do not know what I watched, but it fucking ruled."
The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim (2024) - Rated 27 Dec 2024
"I feel like a movie that's ostensibly about a woman forging her own way within quite difficult social and political confines but ends with her answering a summons from a male-presenting Maiar is kind of undercutting itself. Probably should have taken more gender studies courses in university."
Red One (2024) - Rated 27 Dec 2024
"If you'd like to be a bit mean to the Guillermo del Toro fan in your life, show them the part of this movie that takes place in Krampus's domain."
Civil War (2024) - Rated 08 Dec 2024
"This is a trite observation, but I have to make it: if I were embarking on a road trip through a civil war where reliable access to gasoline was in no way guaranteed beyond my ability to pay above market rate, I would never select a Ford Excursion as my vehicle. These were considered to have had bad fuel economy when they entered the market in the 2000s!"
Sicario (2015) - Rated 04 Dec 2024
"Taylor Sheridan is the dumb guy's dumb guy and this movie never manages to escape that black hole, but the cast tries its hardest to elevate it beyond the hokum it is. Denis V's austerity is much more suited to on-location shooting in naturally beautiful places like the Southwest United States / Northwest Mexico than it is to imagined realities."
Dracula 2000 (2000) - Rated 31 Oct 2024
"Be sure to throw this on the next time your dad asks you to come and hang around."
Terrifier (2016) - Rated 30 Oct 2024
"I have a hunch that the people who recoiled from this movie generally fell into one of two camps, those obviously put off by its violence and gleeful sadism, and those who worked on projects in film school."
Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway's Flash (2021) - Rated 30 Oct 2024
"Long-time fans of a property will sometimes assert that entries shouldn't cater to new viewers. I would invite them to watch this movie, especially if they have no familiarity with Universal Century Gundam."
