- DirectorKaran AnshumanStarsJacqueline FernandezMichalina OlszanskaRiteish DeshmukhTwo blundering terrorists with lofty ideologies, but ordinary talent, are on a mission to change the world.it was alright and i liked how it pointed out the abundance of bullshit agenda, politics-based religion wars happening in india but the comedy and overall plot could have been way more witty and tasteful rather than being so...obvious
the comedic set up of the story was decent, it just fell insanely flat when they tried making it serious
5.8/10 - DirectorRose GallerandAzélie MichouxStarsMonica AbularachSebastien Soulez LariviereAngela Marti1907. Magnifica, young Costa Rican harpist, is preparing for her concert at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels where she studies with her fiancé. Inspired by the life of Pacifica Zelaya.the animation style is simple yet so detailed in conveying emotion, especially through the eyes. The twist was crazy but finding out it happened in real life was even crazier - poor girl, her whole life cut short by a mans envy :((
8.2/10 - DirectorJuliette BrocalCamille LetouzeAna MonizStarsLéonard HicksSam HorowitzDaria PisarevaA traditional dance troupe prepares for the opening of the Summer Solstice Festival. The group is scheduled to take the stage in a few minutes, but one member is missing.such realistic tension before the show haha - is sascha the sun? we'll never know
7.1/10 - DirectorConstance BertouxCamille BozecPauline GuittonStarsAlice OrsatClara QuilichiniVictoria GrosboisLouise, ballerina at the Garnier Opera in 1895, rushes home after a show but is stopped by a friend asking for money. Louise knows what to do in order to repay her.am not surprised to learn that in the past, major ballet companies were fronts for brothels and made their poor performers 'available' for rich patrons
7.4/10 - DirectorDaniel KwanDaniel ScheinertStarsMichelle YeohStephanie HsuJamie Lee CurtisA middle-aged Chinese immigrant is swept up into an insane adventure in which she alone can save existence by exploring other universes and connecting with the lives she could have led.they made the right damn choice casting ke huy quan and ofc michelle yeoh absolutely killed her role but stephanie should have gotten that oscar instead of jlc like cmooooonnnn!!
this movie was soooo hyped and deservedly so!! using the multiverse as a metaphor like they did is so fkn geniussssss
8.8/10 - StarsYûichirô UmeharaKoutarou NishiyamaTomokazu SugitaA young office worker changes jobs due to harassment from his previous boss. He worries that his new boss might also mistreat him, but to his surprise, his boss' natural silly behavior quickly dispels his concerns, bringing him relief.such a pleasant, healing way to end the day tbh, i hate that power harassment is a thing that exists in east asian countries - makes me really appreciate my boss, hes a real one
7.8/10 - StarsTakahiro SakuraiSetsuo ItoChris NiosiA psychic middle school boy tries to live a normal life and keep his growing powers under control, even though he constantly gets into trouble.s3 - not as emotionally centred as the last 2 seasons, which made it less impactful and memorable but it was still a solid season
im sad to see my boy mob go but im glad to have witnessed his journey, it was so bloody endearing - like thats my son right there !!
8.1/10 - DirectorTanuja ChandraStarsIrrfan KhanParvathy ThiruvothuNeha DhupiaYogi and Jaya, who have polar opposite personalities and sensibilities, meet via a online dating app. This encounter turns into so much more when the two travel to Rishikesh.quirky and odd! i loooovedd the fleabag-style 4th wall breaks and wished they had more scenes like that!! didnt really like how they removed scenes of her getting closure from her ex...it made it feel like something was missing by the end
7.0/10 - StarsAtsuhiro InukaiHiroki IijimaKûga MaeyamaEating around other people is a struggle for salary-man Yutaka, despite his talent for cooking. All that changes when he meets Minoru and Tane - two brothers years apart in age, who ask him to teach them how to make his delicious food.another wholesome banger from japan! but i do think both of their backstories could have been a bit more solid to get more of an emotional oomph - like my reaction to yutaka's story was just "...is that it?"
great comforting show tho! love love loooove the found family trope
7.8/10 - DirectorEmerald FennellStarsBarry KeoghanJacob ElordiRosamund PikeA student at Oxford University finds himself drawn into the world of a charming and aristocratic classmate, who invites him to his eccentric family's sprawling estate for a summer never to be forgotten.so entertaining!! i dont think the twist is necessarily a twist since clues are given throughout the entire thing but it was still damn good to see it play out - cinematography was mesmerisinggg
ever wondered what would happen if a bunch of rich unempathetic fucks tried to do their manipulative shit wit an obsessed, slutty psychopath? This film answers that 4 u
8.0/10 - StarsZeno RobinsonAlejandro SaabSuzie YeungUsing superpowers to enter their clientele's photos one by one, Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang take their work seriously at "Time Photo Studio," a small photography shop set in the backdrop of a modern metropolis.s2 - a bit convoluted at times but i cant get over the tonal switch from s1 hahaha literally went from vibrant and friendly teens hanging out to people getting bashed by hammers n stabbed like wooahhhh
great show tho, the animation is so crisp!
8.2/10 - CreatorYugo KobayashiStarsFumiya TakahashiJun ShisonSei ShiraishiGiving up hope of becoming a mathematician, Gaku feels aimless until star chef Kai brings him on at his restaurant, giving him a new world to master.my reaction to seeing the food was like slj in pulp fiction - "thats some gourmet shit!"
i know they were all mad at bro for snapping and going mental but i guess they forgot that he was literally FRESH outta high school and was under a ton of pressure...ofc he was gonna snap!!
entertaining and fast-paced - defs shows why chefs have that "cant handle the heat, get out of the kitchen" saying. all that talk about 'defeating god' and being peerless felt kinda silly tho haha
7.5/10 - CreatorDavid JenkinsStarsRhys DarbyJoel FrySamson KayoThe year is 1717. Wealthy land-owner Stede Bonnet has a midlife crisis and decides to blow up his cushy life to become a pirate. It does not go well. Based on a true story.s2 - another season, another bangerrr - i kinda wish we got more of angsty ed but that wouldve made their development a bit rougher so im glad the story went the way it did
wht do you mean they cancelled the show before the final season?????? why the fuck??? it was successful and well-liked tho what reason could they possibly have?
8.2/10 - DirectorSatyajit RayStarsRavi Kiran KarlaThe short film shows an encounter between a child of a rich family and a street child, through rich kid's window.love finding unexpected gems on YT like this - reading the comments analysing its metaphor on the vietnam war was so interesting! it was done so subtly while also leaving room for there to be a story about classism and capitalism too
8.2/10 - StarsJitaphon PotiwihokTawinan AnukoolprasertTipnaree WeerawatnodomBurdened with heavy debt, Mhok, a mechanic, is forced to take a high-paying job as a caretaker to Day, a rich heir with partial blindness following an accident. The two develop a deep bond.this was so damn sweet, heartfelt and endearing with the chemistry being so cuuuuteeeeeee between them!! and the acting of complex emotions? v niiiiiiceee
i get that day's emotions were still fresh from the accident w night and that he didnt want mokh's life coming to a standstill for him but goddammnnn he owes them both one hell of an apology
8.6/10 - DirectorJu-nam YangStarsTaek-won JoHan KimGeum-ryong LeeA woman abandons her husband and daughter to live in a hotel with her lover who turns out to be something other than the honest businessman she thought he was.piqued my interest with its age n context so i checked it out
its a tale as old as time - abandoning your dysfunctional yet genuine family for a superficial dream and dealing with the consequences
6.0/10 - StarsLee Tae-VinJoo-wan ChaGo Geon-han29-year-old Tae Myung Ha experiences a baffling twist of fate when he finds himself transported into a video game, inhabiting the body of a teenager. His sole mission is to bring happiness to a character named Cha Yeo Woon - or face death.i looooove the transmigration trope with tsundere characters that the mc has to win over so this show was right up my alley!!
i like to believe the 'senior' was Fate, not Death and i absolutely loved his dialogue towards the end - really added a whole new depth of emotion to the show
8.3/10 - StarsAlan AbeNichika AkutsuWhen former child star Aoyagi must reside with popular actor Akafuji for an upcoming BL manga adaptation, he suspects Akafuji despises him. Unbeknownst to Aoyagi, Akafuji is his biggest admirer, leading to humorous misunderstandings.for a 3-ep mini series, this was honestly sooooooo cuteeeeeeee like the main lead is just adorable - its very over-the-top, cliched and stylised but its enjoyable none-the-less !!
and the managers??? i will forever love the bitchy tsundere x dopey dude trope!! they were such a pleasant surprise i think id watch a show just for them
7.8/10 - DirectorToshiya FujitaStarsMeiko KajiToshio KurosawaMasaaki DaimonA strikingly beautiful young woman is trained from birth to be a deadly instrument of revenge against the swindlers who destroyed her family.i loooved the closeup and zoom shots they did - it made the movie sooo stylistic and really added to the theme of personal vendetta
the soundtrack was so smooothhh too - meiko really is a pioneer in her craft fr - and her piercing daggery stares ???? with those divine kimono designs?? soooo fireeee
overall an excellent movie on female rage and vengeance
8.1/10 - DirectorDayyan EngStarsBeibi GongChao WuYixiang LiOn the outskirts of a small town, a bus driver and her passengers encounter highway robbers.she was absolutely, without a doubt, 100% justified for doing what she did...the bystander effect, along with cowardice, is truly a disease in society
the hot, dry 90s hong kong aesthetics were solid for a short film like this
8.3/10 - DirectorJanicza BravoStarsTaylour PaigeRiley KeoughNicholas BraunA stripper named Zola embarks on a wild road trip to Florida.im so glad zola made it out safely, lord knows that couldve ended so fkn bad
this type of shit is why you gotta be wary with messy gals and absolutely stay tf away from sus dudes in the clubbing scene
overall entertaining as hell but has manyyy flaws
6.5/10 - StarsJung Taek-woonHa Jong-wooKaramJung Woo, unfairly ostracized from the literary world, finds refuge with Jung Hyun, a respected senior. Years later, their codependent lifestyle is disrupted by Tae Young, a young publisher seeking to publish Jung Woo's comeback novel.i generally like K-bls that are adult-centered and not in uni/school but this one was a total miss
Jung Woo should have been the main character, not Tae Young. atleast then we could have had a story on toxic codependency, overcoming fear and finding love not this boring mess from tae young's perspective - they were all treating jung woo like a child without any free will, it pissed me off so much
production n cast were great - writing was just shit
5.5/10 - DirectorTaika WaititiStarsSam NeillJulian DennisonRima Te WiataA national manhunt is ordered for a rebellious kid and his foster uncle who go missing in the wild New Zealand bush.i was absolutely waiting for the kid to say 'skuxx' and was not disappointed lmfao that word was everywhereee back then
cant go wrong with the found family trope - i loved the character dynamics between the two haha
7.8/10 - CreatorSeong So JakStarsPark Min-YoungNa In-wooLee Yi-kyeongA story about Ji-won who after being killed by her husband who had an affair with her best friend, goes back 10 years in the past and has a chance to change her fate.i usually get bored of long ass kdramas but this was entertaining and satisfying with side characters you loveeee and root for and villains you despiiiisee
sumin's actress killed it tho, she stole the show and ate her role right up
8.3/10 - DirectorKazuto NakazawaStarsKeiji FujiwaraMai KadowakiMisa KobayashiA love story between a sinful vampire and a righteous cyborg, who was assigned to kill the latter.homoerotic vampires trynna kill eachother is always a good time lets be real
6.0/10
