Manga Review: Sensor by Ito Junji
Supernatural-cosmic horror. Sufficiently intriguing. Decent plotting and pacing. Generally a satisfying read.

A Refutation of Moral Relativism by Peter Kreeft
Relevant. Easily accessible. Not as fun as his other Socratic dialogues but it’s far from boring or dry.

Film ● Review: Blacklight
Tries to be some sort of action-thriller but fails. Too many conveniences and inconsistencies. Can skip.

Film ● Review: Violence Action
Tries to be the “cute young woman assassin taking on the yakuza” action-comedy. Tries too hard to look cool. And fails. Messy plotting.

K-drama ● Review: The Uncanny Counter
Nothing brilliant, nor does it need to be. Tries to be cool. Season 1 is not bad. Season 2’s plotting and pacing issues are more apparent.

Film ● Review: Kill Bok Soon
It is not an action fest but rather a character-driven film. Looks good and well-produced. Korean film or not, can be tightened a bit.

Film ● Review: Re/Member
Despite being a time-loop story with a little clumsy structuring and cheesy montages, it is still a moderately enjoyable horror film.

Film ● Review: Jung_E
It is not a poorly made film but it is unfocused in both its themes and tone as ideas are just thrown out there but not elaborated on.

Animation Review: Star Wars – Tales of the Jedi
Decent production. More for fans of Dooku and Ahsoka, although Dooku’s fall to the dark side is handled well.

Film Review: Willow
Not a bad fantasy-adventure despite plotting and pacing issues, partly made up by a strong performance from Davis.

Despite needing more action and attention to a few details, it is still a sufficiently satisfying revenge action-thriller.

Moderately enjoyable despite clumsy plotting. Good performances and would be better if the cast is given more to work with.

Lacks adventure for a fantasy-adventure and has pacing issues. But still, it’s not a bad film. It looks good and is memorable.

Anime ● Review: Gamera Rebirth
Short and tight series. A little unfocused at first, somewhat children-orientated but also too dark for it to be. Still, mostly satisfying.
