    As I mentioned a couple of times on my blog, I’ve been looking forward to watching this (the Japanese title is Hirune Hime: Shiranai Watashi no Monogatari). I’m happy to say I wasn’t disappointed, and found it to be a delight — definitely in the vein of Summer Wars and Your Name, if you’re looking…

  • The Hidden

    —

    When I added this to my list of 1987 films to watch, I thought I’d never seen it, but as I was watching it I started getting a sense of having seen it (I started recognizing some sequences and character faces). I think this is a pretty entertaining movie, and Kyle MacLachlan is fun and…

  • Revenge of the Nerds II: Nerds in Paradise

    —

    The first Revenge of the Nerds movie was one of my favorite comedies when I was a kid (meaning countless viewings), and so based on that alone at the time I’m sure I watched the sequel a whole bunch of times too (which is probably why I remembered so many of the lines). Is Nerds…

  • Wall Street

    This is still a pretty entertaining movie, and after watching it it actually made me want to re-watch the sequel that came out a few years ago — I’ve seen that sequel, and don’t remember thinking it was particularly great, but having the original fresh in my mind I’m more interested now in seeing the…

  • Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp

    —

    I was admittedly late getting into Animal Crossing — it was only with New Leaf on 3DS, and it happened after my colleagues at the time kept talking about it, eventually convincing me to dive in (before that, I had zero interest in playing it, even though my wife was a fan). I quickly fell…

  • She’s Gotta Have It

    —

    I feel like I’ve lost touch with what Spike Lee has been producing in recent years — even though I used to be a big fan of his work — but I was definitely going to give his new Netflix series a shot (a remake of his first film). I’ve watched the first two episodes,…

  • The Punisher

    —

    Even though at this point I feel pretty burned by Marvel’s Netflix series — the only series I’ve really liked a lot was Daredevil — I was looking forward to this, mostly because I liked Bernthal’s portrayal of the Punisher in the second season of Daredevil (even though I felt it was a waste to…

  • Logan Lucky

    —

    I was quite looking forward to this movie — I really like most of Soderbergh’s movies, and the trailer for it was hilarious (and Daniel Craig’s performance looked deliciously fun). Unfortunately, I felt disappointed. It really wasn’t as funny as the trailer made it seem, with most of it feeling very procedural — we witness…
