House of the Dragon: Season 1

Great performances and a really good start for the series.

Collateral

Good, and Cruise as villain is a plus.

Citizen Kane

Great movie. The best in history? Not a chance. But you can find great performances, the plot is interesting and above all, it has great cinematography that many modern films should learn from. It was undoubtedly influential and is a classic.

Futurama: Season 1

I saw the series when it premiered on television but only a few episodes of the first and second seasons. I have decided to watch the whole series for the new season.

One of the reasons I wasn't hooked at first is because I was expecting something more like The Simpsons, with more everyday humor. My tastes have changed more than 20 years later and now I know that Futurama is more of a constant adventure, with amazing stories, and how much it has influenced shows like Rick & Morty.

Glad to give Futurama a second chance. I will continue with the rest of the seasons.

Invincible

A series that goes from less to more. The animation was a little weird at first and there's some inconsistency in the scale of powers, but it's fun and leaves you wanting to see how it will continue.

Network

Classic. That's the comment.

It's a Katsuhiro Otomo film, so you can expect great animation and spectacular action. But it is not a masterpiece, the story is not that interesting.

It's entertaining, to say the least.

The Garden of Words

A film by Makoto Shinkai, or in other words, wonderful animation and a romantic touch for a short story. It is not his best film, but it is appreciated that it does not last longer than necessary.

Fallout: Season 1

Good series, budgeted and well written. The problem I see is that there are only eight episodes and there are a couple of fillers, it feels like a long introduction of the characters.

They already have the base, let's hope it improves now.

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time

Simply correct. It entertains without problems, good animation and some clichés about time loop stories, but it is also an original romantic plot.

Tokyo Godfathers

Not the best from Satoshi Kon, but it's a different Christmas story.

Ninja Scroll

One of the classic animes of the 90s.

Vampire Hunter D

Low-budget but well-made production, an interesting character and the clichés of anime in the 80s with violence, gratuitous nudity and evil bad guys. It's worth a look.

3 Body Problem: Season 1

I don't know anything about the original book or the Chinese adaptation.

This version is interesting and I sense where changes have been made to give more drama and tone down the scientific part. It is probably inferior to the Chinese series, but this one is not bad except for some actors who are not up to the level and small gaps in the story (perhaps it would have needed more episodes developing the events).

The good old Masamune Shirow. Action, humor and adventure. I love the atmosphere of this anime, they don't make series like this anymore.

Zoolander

Honestly, one of the funniest comedies. Silly, but fun. I think the level drops a little in the final stretch but this is one of those guilty sins.

However, the sequel is garbage.

Oppenheimer

Yes, it's a good movie, it's well directed and the performances are great. But it's not the kind of Nolan movie I want to see and it can get boring if you don't know the subject or the real story.

City Hunter

It's ok. Good action scenes, although the humor that would work in an anime/manga here sometimes is a little cringey.

I know that it is considered cult, but at least watching the season now I have the feeling that it does not reveal its full potential. It doesn't seem like a great fantasy story, or a mecha story, or a romantic one. It has all this, but also many clichés, villains who change sides easily and a story that is too long for what it tells.

Yoko Kanno's music is fantastic, that's true. One of the best soundtracks in anime.

Extraction 2

I expected something more after the John Wick comparisons. Yes, the one shot scene is spectacular, but the rest is pretty generic.

Weathering with You

Film with all the hallmarks of Makoto Shinkai, that is, great animation, urban fantasy and a romantic touch. If you like his other films, it's worth your attention.

Summer Wars

A curious story, but I would have preferred it not to focus so much on the Oz part but more on the family and the relationship between the characters. It's worth a look.

Black Magic M-66

A short and simple story by Shirow, not his best work, but it is well animated and the Terminator-like action is engaging.

Appleseed

Without the humor of Dominion Tank Police and without the genius of Ghost in the Shell. It's not the best anime based on Shirow, but at least it doesn't have the horrible 3D of other adaptations.

Tropic Thunder

My other guilty pleasure next to Zoolander. The first half of Tropic Thunder is very good, but unfortunately the second half is forgettable.

If you watch it with low expectations, you'll be surprised because it's more fun than you thought. But most of the best gags are listed in its trailer and it lacks "something" to be a better movie.

Boring. Overrated. Slow. I know it's considered a classic but I haven't seen any interest in it. Perhaps for the North American audience, but in other countries the message does not leave a mark. There are a thousand more interesting police stories.

Top Secret!

It has aged worse than I remembered. There are some memorable gags, but the story is very silly and the musical scenes ruin the pacing. It entertains but it is not the best comedy of its genre. Naked Gun and Airplane! are better.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

Worst than Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. It doesn't feel like an Indiana Jones movie. Harrison Ford is a spectator of the action in the background who goes from one place to another without much meaning. Sorry, but the movie is not only a universe away from the original trilogy, it's also lacking in the set pieces from the fourth.

Demon City Shinjuku

It is considered a classic of 80s anime and you can understand why. The aesthetics of the time have something that has been lost in current animation, it is dark, gore, a lot of demonic fantasy. It just lacks some nudity to compare to Ninja Scroll or Vampire Hunter D.

But it is also inferior to the aforementioned films. The story is very simple and the characters, including the protagonist, are not very well developed. It's worth it if you like this style of anime but it's quickly forgotten.
