Down the Harem Bunny Hole
There are times when I tire of watching films and shows that are built up to be intellectually stimulating (ie thought-provoking and capable of making one a better critical thinker, and ultimately become more wise), when they end up being anti-intellectual, ethically damaging, doing anything but promoting good values, and teach anything but good lessons.

High school setting with mecha anarchist uprisings, rebelling against the government and … Continue reading Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion (2006) half-assed series review, and anime clichés I hate

The Blob (1958, 1988) and Invaders from Mars (1953, 1986) thoughts
I should get the obvious stuff out of the way first. I consider both remakes to be superior to the originals for various reasons, though the originals are still good in their own right (a common theme of the 80s, what with The Fly, Cat People, and The Thing). In the 80s, the special effects … Continue reading The Blob (1958, 1988) and Invaders from Mars (1953, 1986) thoughts

Rated: 3.5 / 5 Antiwhiteness: 1.5 / 5 About the Film and Its Accuracy I wonder how many films have been made that actually cover the topic of child sex-trafficking?
