Pope Leo XIII (b. 2 March 1810 – d. 20 July 1903), born Gioacchino Vincenzo Raffaele Luigi Pecci, began his pontificate on 20 February...

Nothing special, the premise is maybe a little forced, but still a decent side story.

It’s nice to know that in these times the UN continues to be the world police—oh how they care about our “human rights” and safety. So,...

Implausible plot progression. Constant action with decent cast and performances can’t save it.

Trilaterals over Washington was first published in two volumes, the first around 1979 and the second around two years later in 1981. The...

Solid writing, performances and production. Tight plotting. Surprisingly good, even if one doesn’t like the genre.

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

Absurdist slice-of-life comedy of Tanaka aiming to do as little as possible. Good production. Relatable. Borderlines on brilliant.

Tight action-comedy. It is a bit silly but it’s meant to be. Nicely lit and shot.

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.
