Code 3 2025

Code 3 is a comedy about a crazy night out, though the craziness doesn’t stem from drunkenness, drugs, or bad decisions– it comes from the way anything can happen in the shift of a paramedic. And we mean, anything. That means the needle stabbing and projectile vomiting occurs organically. But the crazy night that happens […]

The Hidden Blade 2004

If you’re looking for some sword fighting from a samurai story, you’re not going to get it so easily from The Hidden Blade. That’s because it’s set in the Meiji era– guns got the glory, the country just opened its borders, and as the shogunate ceded to the Emperor, the samurai began to lose their […]

Neighboring Sounds 2012

When there’s something to deal with, the best thing to do is to hire a professional to handle it, and to get out of their way. For the residents in Neighboring Sounds, that means replacing the town’s night watchman with a new private security firm after two robberies. However, this isn’t an easy solution for […]

Song Sung Blue 2025

Song Sung Blue gets its name from a Neil Diamond song, but rather than depict his life in a regular ol’ biopic, it instead depicts the love story behind a tribute band that covers his work. It’s still a biopic, sure. But it captures an angle of the music business that Hollywood hasn’t honored so […]

Ponies 2026

Ponies is a fun ride. Centered on two widows who lost their CIA husbands, the unexpected spy series puts their duo into some wacky hijinks as they try to figure it out at a time where one wrong move can launch a world war. That’s because it remembers the world just got out of one. […]

Rental Family 2025

Since the 1990s, Japan has offered the service of pretending to be one’s family, friend, or lover. Rental Family isn’t the first time the West has ever depicted this service, but at a time of increased isolation, division, and loneliness worldwide, the very concept directly addresses that need for perceived connection. Why is there a […]

Quirky Weird

The Brand New Testament 2015

Before anything else, your mileage of The Brand New Testament will likely depend on your beliefs. We would say, however, that for most people, this satire is frankly so absurd that it’s more likely to baffle rather than offend. That’s because of its central premise– what if God is just a modern day man on […]

Mongol: The Rise of Genghis Khan 2007

Given how far back the events are, and how much details were lost from then, we’re not really watching Mongol: The Rise of Genghis Khan for historical accuracy. What we are looking for is story and entertainment. This depiction has the latter in spades. With gorgeous landscapes, spectacular swordfighting, and lots of throat singing, director […]

Fateless 2005

Adapting the semi-autobiographical novel from a Holocaust survivor, Fateless was sure to remind people of other films depicting this atrocity. It is, after all, the same historical event. However, the perspective is rather different. The details Gyuri remembers are details that other films don’t recall– the lie about his age that spares him the gas […]

Center Stage 1991

What would be the best medium for depicting the life and legacy of an icon? Would a biopic be best, or would the documentary do better? Well, for silent film star Ruan Lingyu, director Stanley Kwan fused both in Center Stage. It makes for a unique experience. Rather than putting Maggie Cheung through the motions, […]

Slice-of-Life

What’s in a Name 2012

Given its beginnings as a one-act stage play, What’s in a Name? might come across as too dialogue heavy, especially for non-French speakers. Despite the language barrier, however, the situation is rather relatable. The joke that starts it all is something akin to rage-bait, and while it’s unlikely that a close friend group might escalate […]

Superboys of Malegaon 2025

Based on the life of a real small town filmmaker, this coming-of-age film is a familiar underdog story. After their small movie theater shut down due to piracy, Nasir and his friends decide to create their own, in spite of not having the money or connections to do it. You can probably tell what happens […]

Death by Lightning 2025

Out of all the presidents in American history, you’ll be hard pressed to remember James A. Garfield. That’s because the man barely made it past six months before he was assassinated. Perhaps it’s because of this that there aren’t many expectations for this historical limited series, other than period sets and costumes, which is done […]

My Mom Jayne 2025

Unlike the other documentaries depicting “Hollywood’s smartest dumb blonde”, My Mom Jayne takes on a different approach to Jayne Mansfield. Already the title tells you that it’s from the perspective of one of her children– namely, her youngest daughter Mariska Hargitay– so naturally, it takes a more respectful depiction than what’s been shown of her […]

Boots 2025

Inspired by The Pink Marine memoir, Boots expands on Greg Cope White’s story to widen its perspective from one recruit to a whole troop. It makes it a team effort, rather than a solo stint. With the different faces and the protagonist’s sexuality, this show updates the classic military show for this generation, but the […]

The Eternaut 2025

After decades of copyright disputes, The Eternaut finally makes its way on screen, right in time to echo certain worldwide events. Who knew that a comic seventy years ago would do this? Perhaps the comic needed the time for the technology to catch up, with the usually-sunny Buenos Aires transformed with incredible SFX into this […]

Long Story Short 2025

Long Story Short follows three siblings throughout their youth and adulthood. It sounds basic enough, except the ten-episode series time-hops every now and then, so we get to drop in on them during certain periods, like the drive back home from a loved one’s funeral, a catastrophic prom night, and even just a good night […]

John Candy: I Like Me 2025

John Candy: I Like Me takes a somewhat standard approach in remembering the titular comedian. The film pulls out old footage, brings together his loved ones, and they sing praises of what a good guy he was. Given his profession, there were also certain moments where the film explains some jokes, which kills some of […]
