Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow- Ep. 21 "It was All Worth It" is very peculiar in that it treats Jin-woo's actions throughout the episode as heroic or even comedic. However, even a cursory examination of what he actually does makes you gape at him in shock. From abandoning a key ally
The premise of an action movie being the star can't feel pain isn't a new idea. If you thought hard enough you could probably imagine Jason Statham starring in it in the early 2000s or maybe some sort of Stallone film in the late 80s. However, that's not what you get with Novocaine. A movie that
The atmosphere of an elderly care home can be sweet, a place where your loved ones live out the rest of their lives in care and comfort. However, they also can feel creepy as hell. In the case of The Rule Of Jenny Pen, it's the creepy side. There's something about the setting of the film that
If you were put in a horrible situation where you had to choose between protecting your spouse or your country, what would you choose? The answer might not come as easily as one would suspect, something that Black Bag proves. Michael Fassbender stars as George Woodhouse, an intelligence agent who
Zenshu Ep. 9 "HERO" has a title that is a bit misleading. On one hand, we do get to see quite a bit of Luke's backstory, both before he met Natsuko and during his meetings with her. On the other hand, the story of this episode doesn't quite feel heroic. At least, not in an uplifting sense. There is
Blue Box Ep. 21 "A Chance to Blossom" carries multiple meanings. The first meaning comes from Chinatsu, and is only apparent when you look at her scene in a romantically philosophical context. The second meaning comes from the newly introduced Ayame Moriya, who is also getting a chance to blossom
2025 marks the 50 year anniversary of Steven Spielberg’s Jaws. It was the director’s first commercial film and would end up changing cinema. You might be familiar with the term “New Hollywood”. It’s a term thrown around to talk about the up-and-coming filmmakers of the 1960s and early
The Justice League has returned, and Amanda Waller is in jail. So, all is good, right? Created by Nicole Maines, Stephen Segovia, and Rain Beredo, SECRET SIX #1 will take Dreamer, Jon Kent, and Jay Nakamura and team them up with Deadshot, Catman, and Black Alice to try to save the world. Thanks to
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
