just another outsider, trying to fit int and ext on to the same page
As is tradition the DC animation knocks it out of the park when compared to their live action counterparts or anything Marvel. It gets a little strange at a point, but was still a more coherent and entertaining feature length animated effort than any of those “What If” episodes. The advantage of not being bound […]
MoreA Wu Xia History of Violence – Cool fights and bravado, with an interesting number of anticipation to the fabulous action set-pieces and little else. Enough for my inner action-junkie, not enough for my story aficionado. source https://letterboxd.com/jun6lee/film/dragon-2011/
MoreAmateur film-making at its best. While Tarantino got a Miramax and a Harvey Keitel backing him, these guys did what they could without and it’s elegant, only elevated by the presence of The Chin, who’s clearly having fun too. source https://letterboxd.com/jun6lee/film/running-time/
MoreA guy was born, the origins of which might be traced back to a party a few years back where these other films were in attendance: Running Man, Gamer, Ready Player One, The Matrix, Scott Pilgrim vs The World, just to name a few. Does it’s work? Absolutely. It’s a great family-friendly summer blockbuster with […]
MoreAnd with this, I consider this binge, solv-ed. I’m aware there are two more in this particular series (one with a bastard son taking the reigns, and another where they try to pawn it off to a “new” detective), plus that wretched Steve Martin reboot, but we’d rather just not talk about that. So I […]
MoreQuite enjoyed the dynamics of the duo. More credit to the performances than the writing, which elevated the lack of drama and conflict to a watchable fare. I suspect having the agent being portrayed as a producer took away some of the creative liberties, maybe even some truth, who knows? source https://letterboxd.com/jun6lee/film/no-man-of-god/
MoreThis totally shouldn’t work theoretically, yet it does. Logic falls closer to familiar cartoon territory and remaining loyal to that tone does it wonders, you can rest assured of that. The premise itself has fun written all over it. The stupidity will be something you’re attuned to or hate. Nonetheless, this one felt like it […]
MoreI didn’t love it, didn’t hate it, but can’t help but wish it was more than it was. It had a lot of potential in the premise, that remained unexplored from a writing standpoint. It had glimmers of genius and then there were huge conveniences too. The banter and dialogue between the brothers were fresh […]

MoreI can see the inspiration of the lead bickering couple coming from Manhattan Murder Mystery, the murder in a room from And Then There Were None and tropes galore. It works standalone but doesn’t outshine any other murder mystery before you may have seen. I’m not excited about a sequel, but am sure I’ll end […]
