We enter the post-LASIK era! Running with Scissors has the best album cover I've ever seen, and the contents don't disappoint.

WesternAnimation / Inspector Gadget (2015)
A fun but flawed take
As a fan of the original series as well as Gadget and the Gadgetinis, I was looking forward to a new series after over a decade. And I'd say it lived up to my expectations - mostly. The animation quality is quite good though it is unfortunate that there is No Flow in CGI in this show. With the plots, you can tell the show was made for children. Ep...

Jolly good time.
This will be an easy one. I enjoy Ritchie flicks and I'm a fan of Cavil's work, so I was aware of how things would boil down to... yet this movie surprised me in both good and bad ways. Basically, this is two movies for the price of one, in a weird split of not only narrative, but quality as well. Its overall enjoyable, but almost blows up at the...

Series / The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power
Early impressions of Season 2: Remember When this was a Children's Book Series?
If you've made it this far into Rings of Power, then you already know what to expect of the second series. To summarise it before I get anywhere, the second season starts strong, but by the third episode it is already feeling languid and overstuffed with plot threads, in much the same way that the first season did. Then episode four comes in with ...

A series with a lot to love, but with two flaws that make me dislike it.
I want to like Death Battle. Their music, animation, choreography, and more recently their storytelling are all great. But there are two important factors that hurt my enjoyment of the show a lot. One of these is their tendency to just pick the greatest feat they could find, and scale everything from that, consistancy and stated limits be damned. S...

There's little point in convincing you to watch the highest-grossing animated movie ever, but Inside Out 2 isn't just profitable; it's also well-conceived and well-made.

Okay, seriously, does ''everything'' he does need some kind of tortured bee metaphor attached?
As an action movie, The Beekeeper is alright. The camera's on a tripod, the shots generally aren't so full of smoke and filler it's impossible to see what's happening, and while I personally prefer a more Die Hard approach, where the hero gets beaten up a fair bit to serve a broad array of important narrative functions, I at least appreciate th...

Passengers is a good film, but not perfect. In fact, it's like they suddenly tried to steer away from it being a great film and charged straight into mediocre at the end.
