Anime Review: Blade Runner – Black Lotus
Attempts to be in the spirit of the original. It does have the look and feel. Not brilliant but still moderately engaging and entertaining.

K-drama ● Review: Grid
Attempts to be a sci-fi mystery-thriller trying to catch a time-traveller. Not a bad idea but pacing could be better and not enough closure.

K-drama ● Review: The Frog
Moderately intriguing. Pacing can be better but no big deal. Nicely edited. Amusing score. Go Min-si is flipping nuts. But in a good way.

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

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

K-drama ● Review: Strong Girl Nam-soon
Comedy tries too hard, mostly failing. Autopilot plotting. Characters are too simply written initially but are fuller in the second half.
