Classic high school slice-of-life comedy. Can use a little more variation even if it is meant to be slice-of-life genre.

Not a bad effort but nothing special. Could have used other fairy tales since there are over 200 to choose from.

Given all the talk—particularly in the past few years—regarding “misinformation”, “debunking” and AI, this may be an appropriate time to...

Starts strongly enough. Relies on the cast to hold it together. Final act could use better writing and way better execution. Meh.

Solid character-driven work that is not cringe. Visually superb.

Opening tries too hard. Unnecessarily feminist when a good actress is playing the lead role. Silly but surprisingly entertaining.

Crude sci-fi depiction of current state of affairs. Not subtle. Clumsy structure (in a way) but maintains tension. Moderately interesting.

Ninja family vs rival clan. Nicely shot. A few points regarding characters and conflict can be better, but intriguing and entertaining.

Not bad but could go further with the paranoia and suspense. Think of it as a version of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

The story of a 30-year voter-fraud investigation: computer breakdowns, unrealistic numbers, silent media, hostile justice system. Familiar.

Interesting enough premise. Excellent production. Can delve deeper into the themes, but plot and characters are sufficiently captivating.

Like Part 1, decent voice acting and production. More focused storytelling but signposting is a little clumsy. Still mildly enjoyable.

“Strategic Planning for Mental Health” is a summary of an address given at the Annual Meeting of the National Council for Mental Hygiene...

Writing is a little clumsy. Looks very good even if one is not a fan of the visual style.

Decent pacing but derivative. Needs more convincing firefights. Solid performances mask the cheesiness. Still entertaining and funny.

Better execution than the first two parts but plotting is somewhat clumsy.

Some consider it a modern classic. Interesting premise. Clumsy plotting. Cheesy and tries too hard with its gratuitous nudity and violence.

The October Country  is a collection of 19 short stories by Ray Bradbury (b. 22 August 1920 – d. 5 June 2012). A larger collection that...

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

A few minor problems but otherwise another solid film by Shinkai.

The heroes play farmer in the first half, then get into a shootout with imperial forces in the second. Cheesy and clumsy like Part One.
