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.

Drama Review: Skeleton Crew
Typical coming-of-age children’s story. Two annoying leads but the premise and plot are simple and work well enough. It’s short so it’s over quickly either way.

Anime Review: Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance
Mecha design and action generally look great. Decent pacing. That’s about it. Cardboard characters made worse with Netflix being woke.

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.
