Film Review: The Happening
Effective opening, then takes a quieter approach. Short and tight. Full of tropes which makes it amusing. Some hate it but is not a bad mild sci-fi horror-thriller.

Animated Film Review: The King of Kings
It was like watching a well-animated Cliff’s Notes of the Gospel with some Charles Dickens and just about the worst pet in film history thrown in.

Film Review: Wild Tales
Black comedy comprising 6 short stories of retribution and catharsis (by violence). Good production. Not intensely black, still enjoyable.

K-drama ● Review: Melo Movie
Solid production but the plot is uneventful. Autopilot pacing. Relies on performance to carry the series.

Short 6-episode teen romance drama. Relatively simple and predictable but nonetheless satisfying enough for what it is.

Film ● Mini-Review: The Marksman
It is not a shoot ’em up. Either way, could use more action and plotting lacks refinement.

Film ● Review: Officer Black Belt
Overly simplistic plot and themes, lacks style, but is otherwise not a bad lighthearted action film despite the serious subject matter.

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

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

Film Review: Trigger Warning
Predictable. Lacks action. Lacks tension. Disappointing no matter how much one loves Jessica Alba.

Film ● Mini-Review: Agent Game
Starts strongly enough. Relies on the cast to hold it together. Final act could use better writing and way better execution. Meh.
