80 75% | The Amazing Digital Circus (2023) - Rated 08 Sep 2024 |
29 8% | Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) - Rated 31 Aug 2024
"Now I understand why Fox sewed Deadpool's mouth shut - even as a complete butchery of his character, that was still somehow better than this. Starts by immediately putting a bad taste in your mouth and then proceeds to dig deeper. Not a single joke truly lands, it all just collapses into a grey sludge of potty humor and rushed VFX. Another interesting villain gets wasted. Marvel's truly fucked if they can't get back to basics and actually build something worth caring about."

69 47% | The Beast Must Die (1974) - Rated 21 Aug 2024
"It's essentially an Agatha Christie story with werewolves, which makes for an interesting plot, and the first attack is a genuinely thrilling sequence! At the same time however it often fumbles the pacing (that car chase!), the low budget hurts, and it handles none of the reveals very well, leaving me wanting. The "werewolf break" is a nice idea, but it isn't integrated well and reeks of producer meddling. Still, worth a shot, there's some fun to be had."

82 79% | The Venture Bros.: Radiant Is the Blood of the Baboon Heart (2023) - Rated 23 Jul 2024
"One of the better attempts to wrap things up after an undue cancellation, a last hurrah that gives us both laughs and resolves several cliffhangers. It very much feels like an extended episode of the series, though it falls short of the best of them, and in retrospect it may wrap up a little too cleanly. Still, it's the best of a bad situation, and a series this great is still worth it on its off days. Farewell Team Venture, and thanks for all the laughs."

81 77% | Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) - Rated 26 Jun 2024
"Rather than trying to beat Fury Road, Miller takes us in a new direction and fleshes out the world, treating it as more than just a crucible for action. It's in essence a dark coming-of-age tale, one only the wasteland could deliver, combined with a strong meditation on vengeance. Then Miller throws in two excellent, hair-raising action sequences to remind you of where you are. It's not perfect, but it's a great companion piece that makes you want to rev your engines and race across the desert."

79 72% | Pantheon (2022) - Rated 18 Jun 2024
"(1st season) A much more realistic affair then most scifi - this, for better or worse, takes place in our world, not some neon rain-drenched borderline fantasy setting. While it still makes some assumptions some may balk at, the character drama is done well and it successfully explores the boundaries of what makes us human. It's also quite honest about how brutal and scummy even well-meaning tech companies can be."

59 27% | Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury (2022) - Rated 06 Jun 2024
"Gundam, without the intrigue. Or the depth! We're constantly told very little about how the world operates, and then we're supposed to understand complex political conflicts the show refuses to explain. Characters are often crude. annoying, and are "developed" by reveals. Very few fights (in a school for fighting!) rely on tactics and strategy, instead going for dei ex machina. Some cute moments between the two main girls, but eventually the lesbian element feels just as shallow and gimmicky."

78 69% | The Dark Crystal (1982) - Rated 31 May 2024 |
77 66% | Danjon meshi (2024) - Rated 30 Apr 2024
"Lovely characters with great chemistry combined with a cute idea for fantasy food-based adventuring in an interesting world leads to some pretty fun times. Trigger knows just when to add their style of intensely animated action to the proceedings. However, I will say that this is at its best when being cute and funny, and the turn towards more serious plotting later on is hard not to feel a little disappointed about."
