    I thought this was a pretty fun movie. The absolute star of the show for me is Kate McKinnon – pretty much any scene that focuses on her is great and weird and funny (and her action sequence towards the end with the ecto guns is actually really cool to watch). Chris Hemsworth was also…

    I’m going to go against the grain and say that I actually quite enjoyed watching Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV. My friend James didn’t like it much, as he wrote in this review, and although I can’t fault a lot of the points he brings up, I was dazzled by the visuals. The action sequences are…

    Today I watched a pretty fun film from 2014 called Samurai Hustle (also known in English as Mission Impossible: Samurai). It’s a jidaigeki (period drama) comedy about a daimyo who is called on to return to Edo to see the shogun until difficult circumstances. My wife watched it a few days ago, and wanted to…

    Can’t say that I liked this much. I’m not a huge fan of the X-Men movies in general, but I thought First Class was pretty entertaining. This just felt uninteresting to me, with Apocalypse not doing much until the end, and same goes with his Horsemen. I think the worst thing for me though is…

    I’d heard good things about this show, but hadn’t really bothered to check it out until now, since I noticed that it had popped up on Netflix. I watched the first few episodes of season 1 earlier today, and wow, I’m absolutely in love with it. It’s just way more crazy than I was expecting,…

    I love the Lonely Island crew, always loved the SNL Digital Shorts they made, and even though they’re usually uneven, I like their movies too. Watched Popstar a few nights ago, and what I can say, I thought it was fucking hilarious. Laughed quite a bit throughout, and just overall thought it was a hell…

    I just watched a fantastic collection of animated shorts called Ani-Kuri 15. Produced for NHK back in 2007-2008, it’s comprised of 15 1-minute shorts each directed by some of the top names in the animation field, including Kon Satoshi (pictured), Mamoru Oshii, and Makoto Shinkai (in fact, it’s while searching for works by Shinkai that…

  • Picross 3D Round 2 (Demo)

    With the release of Picross 3D Round 2 last week, and my newfound love for Picross thanks to the My Nintendo edition I’m currently playing, I was excited to give the 3D game a try thanks to the demo they’ve also released. Having played through that demo, I gotta say that I think I much…

    I’d unlocked this through the My Nintendo account I have with points a while back, but had forgotten to download it, something I finally got around to doing this past weekend. Boy am I late to this party. This is the first time I play a Picross game – I’m not particularly attracted to puzzle…

    The last of Makoto Shinkai’s works I’ve watched so far is this 25-minute OVA, which tells an interesting story of two young lovers separated by a war in the galaxy, and how the light years of distance between them affects the way they can communicate. You can tell it’s an earlier work, as it doesn’t…
