Steve McQueen’s Blitz doesn’t attempt to glamorize war or reduce it to typical Hollywood heroics. There are no all-conquering soldiers here, no mythic generals leading from the front. This is a civilian story—a heart-wrenching account of the everyman and everywoman thrown into the crucible of war. Bombs fall, cities burn, and yet these characters press…
It’s not every day you come across a film as captivating as Spirited Away. When I first watched it, I was blown away by how easily it draws you into a world so unlike anything you’ve ever seen. The story—a young girl named Chihiro being thrown into this strange, magical world where spirits, talking frogs,…
I watched Look Back recently, and it left a pretty deep impression on me. It’s one of those films that you sit with for a while afterward, processing not just what it’s saying, but how it says it. It’s a short, beautifully animated story that feels like a meditation on art, creativity, and loss. You…
When it comes to adapting beloved books into films, most directors fall into one of two categories: those who aim to replicate the book page-for-page, and those who treat the story as a blank canvas, painting their own interpretation. Chris Sanders, in bringing The Wild Robot to life, does neither—he crafts an experience that is…
There are TV shows, and then there are experiences. Undone fits into the latter category—an animated series that almost transcends the format, pulling you into a world that feels at once alien and intimately familiar. The story and the visuals fuse in a way that’s more akin to a dream than a show you’re merely…
You might think that if Zack Snyder turned his lens toward Norse mythology, the result would be something epic, profound, maybe even revelatory. And, in a way, it is epic, just not quite in the way you’d hope. “Twilight of the Gods” starts off promising, with a rich, grim atmosphere that plunges us into the…
Sometimes a show sneaks up on you. BoJack Horseman is one of those. You start watching, maybe expecting some light humor, a little satire, some talking animals riffing on the absurdities of Hollywood. But what you get is something far deeper, something that leaves you unsettled, amused, and occasionally gutted, all at once. The show’s…
There’s something about The Midnight Gospel that feels, at first glance, utterly chaotic. You’re dropped into a world of swirling colors, bizarre creatures, and a mash-up of deep philosophical musings mixed with surreal, often grotesque, visuals. You blink. You blink again. Then you ask yourself, “What in the world is happening?” As a Christian viewer,…
Let’s talk Terminator Zero. You know the drill—machine apocalypse, time travel, humanity on the brink—but here’s the twist: this time, it’s anime. That’s right, Terminator has gotten a slick, animated makeover that breathes new life into the series’ decades-old narrative. But how does this reboot of sorts hold up, especially through the lens of Christian…
In today’s media landscape, we’re bombarded with a dizzying array of shows that seek to entertain us, some with wit, some with depth, and others by sheer absurdity. Enter Universal Basic Guys, a series that falls into the latter category—but not necessarily for the better. The show tries to carve out a space within the…
