  One of Them Days 2025

  ★★ Watched 09 Mar 2025

  Wanted to like this and SZA/Keke have great chemistry but I just didn't find it funny in the slightest and at its worst, it felt pretty cringe. I do recognise that an American, particularly Black American, audience will likely get a lot more out of it by design.

  The Order 2024

  ★★★ Watched 26 Dec 2024

  Doesn't really do enough for me to distinguish itself from comparable films but it's competently made and Nic Hoult is compelling.

  Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Dark Side of Dimensions 2016

  Watched 07 Feb 2017

  Nothing here for anyone without interest in the original series. I'm tempted to give this film 5 stars just for how it takes Seto Kaiba's ego to levels I genuinely thought not possible.

  Kiki's Delivery Service 1989

  ★★★★ Watched 29 May 2014

  A splendid coming-of-age tale about a young witch, Kiki (accompanied by her cute and whimsical cat Jiji), who has to leave home in search of independence. As charming as Ghibli can be, I feel they've reached the pinnacle with this one. It always amazes me the fact Ghibli can take such simple characters, a simple setting and a simple premise and bring them to life so effortlessly. But they never compromise on providing a positive message to the viewers (in this films case, the importance of maturing and pushing on through adversity). One of Miyazaki's finest.
