Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion (2006) half-assed series review, and anime clichés I hate

Rated: 1.5 / 5* * = rating after watching the first 15 1/2 episodes, and I'm not going farther than that. The thing about giving bad ratings like this, it's going to give the wrong initial impression about this show. The show starts out great. 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

John Wick 4: Chapter 4 (2023) thoughts

Not the official poster. Rated: 3 2.5 / 5 Antiwhite level: 2 / 5 So I've reviewed the second and third films in this franchise, both of which I enjoyed (as well as the first film). But I was worried that the franchise was going to suffer some serious fatigue after the previous one. The … Continue reading John Wick 4: Chapter 4 (2023) thoughts

The Shield (2002-2008) thoughts

Rated: 4 / 5 Anti-whiteness: 1.5 / 5 This show created a lot of misconceptions for me back in the day. Because I watched the first season (and a half) of this series back when it first came out, I was under the impression shows in general were more anti-PC back in the day than … Continue reading The Shield (2002-2008) thoughts

The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) thoughts

Rated: 4 / 5 "Kidnap the Sandy Claws, see what we will see. Lock him in a cage and then, throw away the key." I never appreciated this film as much as I wanted to back in the day. I knew it was visually unique with the creature designs and animation. I knew half the … Continue reading The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) thoughts

The Batman (2022) thoughts

Rated: 1.5 / 5 Wokeness: 4 / 5 "It's one of the best Batman films yet," they said. "Exceeds all expectations," they said. "Finally, a live-action Batman movie that utilizes actual detective-work," they said. "What a load of shit," I say. This movie is everything I thought it was going to be. Woke as fuck, … Continue reading The Batman (2022) thoughts

Magic (1978) and Pin (1988) brief thoughts

Both films rated: 2.5 / 5 These types of movies suffer from the exact same problem, at least as far as my personal enjoyment goes. They're both about a socially awkward guy, bordering on crazy, who has talent to some degree; more-so in Magic, since the guy is as good a magician as he is … Continue reading Magic (1978) and Pin (1988) brief thoughts

Top Gun: Maverick (2022) thoughts

Ignore the incorrect release date. Rated: 3.5 / 5 Wokeness: 2.5 / 5 I thought it would be another 5-8 years before films of this quality started coming out again. Films with honest-to-God effort behind them. Sure that effort isn't seen in the story or character department, at least beyond my standards of B-movie fare; … Continue reading Top Gun: Maverick (2022) thoughts

Rant on insults and death-wishes; plus thoughts on Oh! / Ah! My Goddess!

Introduction that you can skip if you just want the anime review. So I've received some interesting responses to a few prior blog posts I made over the years. In particular, posts I made regarding the holocaust and pedophilia (if you want a taste of both, go play Barbarossa). The type of responses I do … Continue reading Rant on insults and death-wishes; plus thoughts on Oh! / Ah! My Goddess!
