  • River’s Edge

    —

    I remember super liking this movie back in the day, and that it was dark and weird. Well, it’s still dark and weird, and I still quite enjoyed it. The acting is a bit off at times — young Keanu is, well, young, and Crispin Glover over-hams, but in a fun way — but it’s…

  • Seoul Station

    —

    I remember being quite interested in watching this Korean animated film when it got announced last year (even though I’m pretty tired of seeing zombies in whatever form of media), and then had sorta forgotten about it. I watched it the other night, and wow, this is a really good movie. The animation is really…

  • Better Call Saul (Season 3)

    —

    After binging season 2 recently (and loving it to bits), I just couldn’t help but check in on season 3 (even though these days I prefer to wait for a series to be done its season before watching it). The first episode was pretty good, but oh man, episode 2, with the return of Los…

  • Lucas Brothers: On Drugs

    —

    I saw this stand-up special pop up on Netflix, and since I’ve found these two to be pretty funny in the past — mostly in cameos — I decided to watch it, and really liked it. It doesn’t have huge laughs, but I found myself constantly giggling throughout — I mostly like their laidback vibe,…

  • Sunday Morning Cartoon Cavalcade Vol. 5

    —

    I’ve realized that when it comes to my Sunday morning cartoon sessions, I much prefer to keep it to traditional 2D animation (or if it is CG, that it’s made to look like traditional animation). That’s why I stopped watching Star Wars Rebels on Sunday mornings (although I finished up season 3 a few days ago,…

  • Atom: The Beginning

    —

    ,

    I watched the first episode of the new Atom: The Beginning series, which acts as a prequel to Atom (or Astroboy). Can’t say that this first episode super hooked me, although it is neat to see young Ochanomizu and Tenma interacting as young researchers. I’m open to giving it another episode or two though, to…

  • The Get Down (Part 2)

    —

    I absolutely loved this series, and couldn’t wait for the second part of its first season to come out. Well, it’s out, it’s short (only 5 episodes), and now that I’m on the 3rd episode I can’t help but feel slightly disappointed. I’m still enjoying the performances immensely, but the story is falling flat for…

  • The Color of Money

    —

    The funny thing about revisiting this movie is that I had completely forgotten that it was directed by Martin Scorsese. It’s still a pretty entertaining film to watch, although Tom Cruise’s character can get on your nerves — feels like he could have found a better balance between innocence and cockiness. That said, the scene…
