Helix "Cross Pollination" (Season 2, Ep. 7) [TV Review]

Here we are again, Friday night, another episode of Helix down. Only four more to go. This episode had another one of the dull titles, "Cross Pollination." That has nothing on Densho, San Jose, or Oubliette.

Noucome [Anime Review]

My Mental Choices are Completely Interfering with My School Romantic Comedy
Welcome to a review for what may be the longest titled anime ever. I'm not certain, but the length of the title is absolutely insane. Here it is in Japanese, 俺の脳内選択肢が、学園ラブコメを全力で邪魔している,... which is just a mouthful.

Helix "M. Domestica" (Season 2, Ep. 6) [TV Review]

Sixth week of Helix, and I'm not certain that either I or the plot knows where it is going.
This week was not a high water mark.

Helix "Oubliette" (Season 2, Ep. 5) [TV Review]

Yep, this Helix review is late again... because I saw an excellent movie on Friday and wrote THIS review instead of reviewing Helix. I watched Helix, but the movie came first.

Kingsman: The Secret Service [Movie Review]

Two weekends and three movies... and they raised the damn ticket prices on me for this last one. I assume they went up because of that other movie that is coming out, or something. Sure it was only 2% but it still sucks. Oh, back to what I was saying. Three movies in two weeks, or more like eight days, and Kingsman was by far the best.

Helix "Densho" (Season 2, Ep. 4) [TV Review]

So, well... um... this Helix review is really late. Sorry, I spent the weekend at the movies (Here and Here).
However late it is, I am reviewing episode four of season two.

Seventh Son [Movie Review]

A rare weekend this was. I saw two films, one I expected to be better and one worse. Jupiter Ascending, I expected to be better, when in fact it was the worst. Seventh Son, I thought would be passable, but not the better of the two. I was wrong.

Jupiter Ascending [Movie Review]

There is a phrase I read from some entertainment review a while back. It has stuck with me all this time... but it seems perfectly accurate for this film. This film was a 'blunderbuss phenomenological attack.' (Niel Gabler, LA Times)

C0de Breaker [Anime Review]

 "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, evil for evil."
It appears that this anime is rooted quite firmly in the idea of Lex Talionis, or the law of retaliation.
