Code 8 Part II

It was honestly an okay movie. Kept me interested with its fast paced plot and action. The visual effects with unique powers were exciting, but it’s a lower budget film so they really didn’t do that many scenes with them.

All that said, there really wasn’t an original thought to this movie. Same plot as the last, which wasn’t original either. Boo hoo robots bad, they’re not supposed to hurt innocent people. Oops they killed the only witness.

The characters and the acting throughout the movie were absolutely incredible. Where it really fell through for me was the plot and how the story was strung together. It very much felt like a disjointed piece of individual stories all happening roughly around the same time. It greatly elevated each character, but only individually without ever feeling like it was truly building one well woven story.

La La Land

The film was such an interesting take on a romance story. Not because the plot was original (far from it) but because of the story was portrayed in such a lyrical form. As if the very film itself was further romanticized and dreamed up, set apart from reality.

This film made me understand what it’s like to be having a beautiful dream. And we should all keep dreaming such beautiful dreams.

The only way to describe the movie: a fantastical journey of imagination. The writing and the characters were all perfectly created. I wasn’t a huge fan of the music at first, but even that slowly won me over. Roald Dahl would be proud.

Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds

A very touching movie. The story was built upon with a perfectly paced climax. There were absolutely flaws throughout the movie, but overall, I enjoyed the parable-esque nature of the film.

The reviews are right. It’s not a film I’d recommend everyone watch. But it is a film I’d recommend any Disney lover and Disney loving family watch.

The movie is less of an independent and fantastical adventure that you’d expect of a Disney animation. But in reality, it is merely a celebration of 100 years of Disney’s animation. And you can feel it within every moment of the film. There are winks, nudges, nods and whole plot points dedicated to looking back at Disneys origins. The animations that made the studio grow to what it is today.

So watch the movie, and remember all the dreams and wishes it took to get to where we are today.

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End

This Anime is just like watching a beautiful poem unfold and progress. Reminds me a great deal of the famous works of Miyazaki.

PLUTO

The source material for this must’ve been incredible. The plot, the allegory, the characters, and everything about the story was so perfectly orchestrated. Even when I could predict certain plot twists, it still felt as if the release was good. I started to truly empathize with the characters and the aftershock of each death or character development in the series felt truly important. Gesicht was incredible throughout, and I really loved Epsilon’s character too, although I would’ve loved more development for his character.

The animation and music here just tied the whole package together. There was a lot of slow burn and tension building throughout the series.

Blue Period

A fairly solid Anime that portrays a lot of meaning in a short amount of time, after all, a picture is worth 1000 words.

For someone who was a novice to everything about art, I learned a fair amount about the creative devices used by artists in the development of their pieces.

Suits

This is effectively the only soap opera-like show that I've genuinely enjoyed for a period of time. I really liked the "who's the cleverest" battles of wit that the show effectively continues throughout. However, like all good soap operas it starts to drag as the characters have really just been there forever and have a well established trope already.

A Simple Favor

That was a pretty fun ride all-in-all! They weren’t kidding about the whole twists and turns every 5 minutes. The movie felt like an 2 hour long run-on sentence where it managed to get just enough engaging content without worrying about the punctuation.

The Lazarus Effect

It almost felt like a movie, but then you realize it was 50% setup and then 50% cheap horror film tricks and jump scares. No real developments, no interesting character choices, not much substance at all.

Whiplash

Wow!! That movie was entirely captivating, there were so few moments where I felt I could even look away. As a lover of all sorts and varieties of music, I could feel the beat of the movie reverberating through my mind all the way through.

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves

Honestly a better adventure than I think I was expecting. There was wit, storytelling and the touch of a bard. It was not so much a giant mash of DnD references as much as it was actually listen to the story of a friend’s campaign.

Ted Lasso: 3x06 Sunflowers

Sometimes a show can make you realize, you weren’t just supposed to be skipping along and watching each episode as they come. You were supposed to take a minute, and enjoy the side quests. We aren’t supposed to watch a tv show for the destination.

The Misfit of Demon King Academy: 1x12 Taboo Magic

Wow that was bad. This episode is the culmination of “Oh no! We only have the budget for 2 more episodes! Let’s see how much plot we can forcibly shove down the viewers throat in 5 minutes”

The Eminence in Shadow

Now this is the right way to blend the Chunibyoo genre into a real engaging story. I challenge the viewer to try and decide reality from fiction. But after you decide, think about which part you enjoyed more!

This was poor to the point of funny, like sharknado but not nearly as bizarre.

R.I.P.D.

My take? I’d say it did a decent job ripping off Men in Black. It didn’t take itself too seriously which is the only reason it got a rating as high as a passable “Good”. The Ryan Reynolds chemistry was decent, not phenomenal. There was some high octane action scenes that could’ve had more realistic CGI. But ultimately, the main characters were interesting enough to watch.

Sword Art Online the Movie – Progressive – Scherzo of Deep Night
The Last of Us: 1x03 Long, Long Time

This singular episode, which I initially didn’t think I would like in the beginning, became more incredible than entire movies. It was beautiful, poetic and entirely self encapsulated in a tiny little world where people can still pick out their little slice of happiness.

To all those who hated the episode, replace bill with a female in your head if you have to, but open your eyes to why this story was so fulfilling and poetic in a world filled with meaningless death and endless suffering.

Willy's Wonderland

It’s actually so bad, that it’s rather funny and entertaining even. The fact that there is almost no dialogue in the movie, makes it feel like such a niche and unique indie movie. Except, indie movies usually don’t star Nicolas cage

Not watching it for the plot lines, but there were some solid jokes that had me rolling

My Dress-Up Darling

One of the best Slice of Life Anime I’ve seen in awhile. The build up of friendship and worldly experiences between the two main characters was perfect. Not to mention the witty dialogue was excellent through most of the season. The emphasis on art and animation (with a little Hina doll history too) was wonderfully represented.

Strange World

Not the best Disney movie, but also not the worst. There was some neat metaphors to be made throughout which provide insight to very real issues in todays society with how we treat others and how we treat the environment around us. However, most of the metaphors in the movie were very much overly apparent and rather surface level. The amount of morals and metaphor they crammed into this movie made it rather dry and difficult to stay fully engaged with if you weren’t a fan of the psychedelic visuals alone.

Overlord

This show was kind of up and down for me. It was a really cool game sim feel to the show, but there were just parts where the overall plot lines seemed random, and with a lack of urgency. Graphics and voice acting was simply average, nothing too incredible. Although the fight scenes definitely provided a different feel than normal, with more emphasis on outwitting your opponent than simply overpowering them. I feel like with some better pacing and updated graphics, this show had the potential to be stellar, but it was still pretty great overall.

Beast Tamer

It was really entertaining and I enjoyed watching the show. But the cute graphics weren’t enough to overcome the sheer thickness of the plot armor. Eventually it got to the point where the main character is just immune to death itself, so there’s really nothing to worry about. Not to mention it was starting to feel like that one Pokemon rom hack where all the Pokémon are just girls…
