A keen audience can almost always identify when a movie isn't centering the story it really wants to tell. Madame Web, for example, is ostensibly about Dakota Johnson's clairvoyant Cassandra Webb's efforts to save three girls destined to be Spider-Women in the future. Here, however, the girls do
Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow- Ep. 25 "On to the Next Target" marks the finale of the second season of this anime. Alas, it's a finale that begins and ends with curbstomp after curbstomp. Such things might be entertaining as an opening act, but by this point, it feels more boring

Kaiju No. 8: Mission Recon is exactly what it says on the tin. It's literally just an anime film recapping most of the first season. Not even entirely the first season either. Oh well, at least we get a fun OVA starring Soshiro Hoshina tacked on at the end as a treat. Now if only the entire cast

Blue Box Ep. 25 "Even So" marks the finale of the first season of this anime. As you might expect from the previous episode, this one deals with the wreck of the Hina ship that sunk then. Interestingly, it's the way the story deals with that ship sinking in a way that blames neither party that
Though marital arts action cinema is vast and varied, it is rare for one to elevate the genre and push it forward. There have been few recently - The Raid comes to mind, and while not technically "martial arts" I'd argue John Wick counts - that feel as if something new and special is happening.
We've had haunted house movies. Sure, but have we had a haunted van movie? That's what Passenger amounts to at its most distilled form. This is a horror movie about a demonic force (the opposite of Saint Christopher) that has been chasing and killing travelers for hundreds of years. Basically, the
Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia finally involves Sitara in the beginnings of some courtly intrigue in Ep. 4 "Otchigin". It's quite reminiscent of The Apothecary Diaries, which has a similar premise. This anime too now promises some deadly political thriller similar to Maomao's adventures in the rear
