    Dragon Ball Z: The History of Trunks

    ★★★

    More of an entertaining TV special than a movie compared to "The Story of Bardock". This desparately needs a new dub and re-scan. Looks like Funimation pulled an old Toonami dub, DNR'd the film-grain, and then slapped "Digitally Remastered" on it. The 1080p Blu-Ray frequently looks soft along with artifacting everywhere. Crunchyroll needs to make a new 4k and set this right.

  • Aladdin

    ★★★★

    A solid 90's Disney film that's probably better than you remember. The Diamond Edition Blu-Ray transfer is beautiful.

    Surprising and fun right-to-repair anti-big pharma movie that's only marred by it's woefully contained Robin Williams performance and poor reference humor.

  • Megalopolis

    Megalopolis

    ★★★

    A lesser Southland Tales, Coppola's Megalopolis shines with fantastic casting, acting, and wardrobe but feels capped by a haphazard cut and kinda bad politics. Inshallah we see the director's cut / Cannes cut of this movie in the future but I'm proud to have supported cinema and FFC's crazy dream.
