  Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island 1998

  ★★★½ Rewatched 12 Mar 2025

  A minor modern classic and a letter-perfect way to update characters who have been around a while: you keep a lot of it the same and tinker with a few things, and one Big Idea that really makes it stand out as a new entry. I think it does it with aplomb and some wonderful, at times Dezaki-esque, animation. I’ve always loved this movie and remember when it came out, because it was a massive media event as far as I was concerned.

  What if a guy who couldn't quite remember what happened during ALIEN tried to explain it?

  Ghost in the Shell: Arise - Border 3: Ghost Tears 2014

  ★★ Watched 25 May 2015

  I mean, I guess. The whole added backstory for the Major isn't interesting at all, the "new boyfriend" guy is an obnoxious, terrible character, and the little teases and in-jokes about Togusa are at the level of the "yellow spandex" joke from the first X-Men movie. The animation is still fine and there are a few nice fights, but this represents serious diminishing returns from a series that was already struggling. A shame, because I really wanted to like these. Hopefully the fourth one or the upcoming movie offer something a little more interesting.
