Rated: 3.5/5 When it comes right down to it, this film is more relevant than ever. How the main protagonist Aoyama wants to remarry, and find the ideal woman to be his wife. And he has the luxury of being able to have an audition for a film role cast primarily so he can find … Continue reading Audition (1999) thoughts

Angel Cop (1994) anime OVA, thoughts
Rated: 3.5 / 5 or 3 / 5, depending on the version. Sometimes you start to realize that you underestimated just how based 80s and 90s anime can actually be. Sure, us English-speakers who were well-acquainted with it back in the day, and by "well-acquainted" that includes stuff that could only be viewed on VHS … Continue reading Angel Cop (1994) anime OVA, thoughts
Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (1991) review
Rated: 2.5 / 5 The movie begins 1000 days after the events of the previous film (if you don't count the "future" scene). A UFO appears, and Miki (the psychic from the previous film who helped stop Godzilla at one point) helps analyze it by bringing up satellite images to top officials. I know she … Continue reading Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (1991) review
Godzilla (2014) and Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) review
Get ready everybody, because this is one of those reviews where I become completely unhinged and truly live up to my politically incorrect label. I must bring balance to the force (and will likely do so again whenever I get around to reviewing Disney Star Wars IX: The Disney Hard-On). Rated: 3.5 / 5 I'm … Continue reading Godzilla (2014) and Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) review
Shadow Tactics: Blade of the Shogun (2016) review
Rated: 3.5 / 5 I question how much I actually enjoy stealth games. Aside from Thief I and II, I don't normally go out of my way to play these sorts of games. On the other hand, certain RPGs like Deus Ex, while not primarily a stealth game yet can be played as one, do … Continue reading Shadow Tactics: Blade of the Shogun (2016) review
The Youth of the Nation: Suicide Club
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDKwCvD56kw Introduction Over the past couple weeks, my drive has slowed to a crawl. I have no one but myself to blame, for the most part. I have a bad habit of taking on too many projects at once, from television series (attempting to make a review for Naoki Urasawa's Monster, Babylon 5, Vietnam - … Continue reading The Youth of the Nation: Suicide Club
Barbarossa review
Rated: 3/5 Introduction (ie addressing some criticisms of the game) So there are 2 versions of this game. One is the version which has anime chicks in scantily clad outfits doing some implied and ridiculous sexual gesture. The other version is a more historical version with black and white WWII photos. Regarding the latter, where's … Continue reading Barbarossa review
Ghost in the Shell (2017) review
Rated: 2/5 Introduction The first half, minus a few minor quibbles (like the hacking into the mind sequence, which is laughable in it's execution), was actually solid. Fantastic cinematography, great special effects, tremendous atmosphere (even though I think they overdid it with the holograms around the city), and it's refreshing to experience a film that … Continue reading Ghost in the Shell (2017) review
King Kong Escapes review
Rated: 2/5 Just a mini-review this time. Been doing more hobby-time programming than watching films, and trying to finish playing GTA V so I can write a review for it, but Rockstar Games is filled with a bunch of cocksuckers who try to impede anyone from finishing the game if they either don't have a … Continue reading King Kong Escapes review
