  • Gotham

    ,

    I think the reason I ended up enjoying the first episode of this is because I came in with such low expectations. The buzz I was hearing wasn’t very good, and to be honest, the concept didn’t really sound that interesting to me – just give me a fucking Batman show. But based on what…

  • Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    As I wrote before, I really didn’t like this series when it started, but then when the season was over I kept hearing that it got good, so I binged it, and I did indeed end up liking it – it gets good from the last third of the season. Season 2 has just started,…

  • Divergent

    I have tepid interest in all of these YA movies – even for The Hunger Games, I find it OK, but it doesn’t really grab me – but I did want to check Divergent out because of the sci-fi setting, and because I like Shailene Woodley. I liked this. Sure, the premise is kinda hokey –…

  • The Party

    OK, you’ll need to get past the fact that Peter Sellers is basically doing “blackface” – portraying an actor from India – but I so loved this film when I was a kid, and watching it again now, I’m still in love. At the core is of course the wacky/zany performance by Sellers, but what…

  • Edge of Tomorrow

    ,

    I sure enjoyed this. I love me some sci-fi, I love me some mech suits, and I love me some interesting storytelling, and this movie had it all. And I still enjoy watching Tom Cruise in a movie, still think he’s good at what he does – hey, I even liked Oblivion – and thought…

  • Rayman Fiesta Run

    ,

    I really liked Rayman Jungle Run – which I think is the most successfully executed platformer on iOS – and I finally got around to playing the sequel, Rayman Fiesta Run (it was on sale for a buck last week), and it’s just as fun, and looks maybe even better. Doing it as a non-stop…

  • X-Men: Days of Future Past

    —

    ,

    Why is it that the X-Men movies have absolutely the worst character designs in the super-hero filmscape – I mean, just awful. I could barely stand looking at the screen anytime Quicksilver was on, even though he is the main part of the only 3 things I liked in this movie: the sequence where he…

  • Drawing for Life

    ,

    Adrian Hogan breathes drawing. Adrian is yet another person I’ve met through PauseTalk – yes, I tend to meet the most interesting people through my PauseTalk series, which is the main reason I started doing it all these years ago. And he draws. A lot. Adrian is a freelance illustrator based here in Tokyo, and…
