  • Blame

    —

    , ,

    I was quite looking forward to watching this film. I’ve never read the manga series it’s based on, but I quite like the stuff that Polygon Pictures has worked on of late (Knights of Sidonia, Ajin), and I really dig the cel-shaded CG they produce. I did quite like the visuals, but I somehow never…

  • Ghost in the Shell (2017)

    —

    I can’t believe I’m going to say this, but I actually liked it. I was so upset when they first announced the casting of Scarlett in the main role (not only because of the white washing, but also because I think she’s a terrible actress), but then when the trailer came out I thought that…

  • Lucha Underground (Season 1)

    —

    Right now I’m incredibly addicted to watching the first season of Lucha Underground — I’m currently on episode 31 of 39 (they have the first 2 seasons on Netflix). I watched it for the first time back in 2015 while I was still in Japan, and was enjoying it at that time as well, but then…

  • Sunday Morning Cartoon Cavalcade (July 2017)

    —

    So even though I haven’t been posting updates on a weekly basis like I was doing, I have in fact still been watching cartoons every Sunday morning. My standby continues to be a couple of Mickey Mouse shorts (I just finished season 2, so from next week will be attacking season 3) and old Merry…

  • South Park (Season 20)

    —

    It’s been years since I’ve watched any South Park (I’d say probably 10-15 years), but these past few days I’ve been playing the South Park Phone Destroyer game, and it got me wanting to check it out again, so I decided to jump into season 20 (the latest season that they have up on the…

  • Oasis: Supersonic

    —

    After watching the Beatles documentary, I decided to make it a double bill and follow it up with this Oasis one. To be honest, I don’t have a huge amount of love for the band — I liked them fine back in the day, and still think “Supersonic” is a great track, but I was…

  • The Beatles: Eight Days a Week

    —

    This is a documentary about the The Beatles directed by Ron Howard, and I ended up quite enjoying it. It starts off with material that makes it seem like this is just going to be yet another look at the Beatlemania that we pretty much all know about, but the fact that it focuses on…

  • Okja

    —

    I was very tempted not to watch Okja — I was interested in watching the movie because of the director and the actors involved, but I’m extremely sensitive when it comes to the portrayal of animals in movies (and their bad treatment), and I knew this was probably going to tug at my heartstrings. Having…
