    I saw it twice at the theater when it came out, and then watched it recently for the firs time since then, when it popped up on Netflix last week (in Canada). It’s interesting to me that the movie already feels so familiar, despite it still being so new and that I’ve only seen it…

    There seems to be a lot of hate for this movie, and I just don’t get it. I recently re-watched it, and liked it just as much as I did the first time I saw it. I’m really into the look of it, and would probably like it based on that alone, but I also…

    I liked this fine, and do think it’s a very well done movie, but I somehow wasn’t as taken by it as it seems a lot of people were – and maybe it’s a result of going in with expectations that were set a bit too high. Yes, technically, it’s a marvel to look at,…

    I’m a sucker for documentaries about wrestling, and a few days ago I happily watched this one that is currently available on Netflix. I really quite enjoyed this, as a follow-up to the infamous Beyond the Mat documentary of the 90s that revealed a washed up Jake the Snake who was in pretty bad shape.…

    It’s such a shame that they had to cast the movie the way that they did. This could have been just a big dumb fun adventure movie with a cool world to see, but the fact that the main characters are all white just kept annoying me the whole time. I’m sure they justified the…

    After getting back into Ghost in the Shell recently through the Arise series and the new movie, I wanted to go back and re-watch the original Mamoru Oshii film. It’s always interesting for me to re-visit these movies that I watched so many times back in the day, but haven’t watched in years (in this…

    Yup, this is not a good movie at all. It’s just, boring. It takes 40 minutes before they actually do something (go into the other dimension), and after that, the whole story is just nothing. They get back, have powers, and oh, end up facing Doom who stayed there. And Doom is just so silly…

    I just watched this documentary on Netflix, and it’s fascinating. It basically tells the tale of the birth of the band, stopping just as “the big break” happened (”We’re Not Gonna Take It” et al.) I can’t say that I’m a huge fan of the band or anything (sure, I loved those hits back in the…

    I finally got around to watching this, and even though I was expecting something pretty good based on the positive reactions I’d heard from friends who had seen it, it even surpassed my expectations. I’m also really happy to see that Dan Trachtenberg (the director) did such a great job with this – I was…

    On the same day that I watched all 10 episodes of Ghost in the Shell: Arise – Alternative Architecture, I then watched this movie that came out last year, that pretty much acts as the cap to the story told in the Arise series. That means that if you like the series, you absolutely need…
