    Zëiram

    ★★★★★

    “Zeiram” is fun from beginning to end. It is a film that knows what it wants to be and succeeds in droves at what it sets out to do. The feature also creates a strange and effective ambient atmosphere, topped with exceptional production values, with the highlight being an imposing antagonist. Further adding to the charm is a likable cast. Following this movie’s success, Keita Amemiya would continue to create more impressive projects that further cemented him as a pioneer in tokusatsu filmmaking.

    Suzhou River

    ★★★★★

    “Suzhou River” is pure Hitchcockian entrancement. It is an eerily ghostly movie that draws you into its dreamlike atmosphere and visuals as an eerie tale of obsession plays out before your eyes.

    Ultraman: Rising

    ★★★★½

    Ultraman: Rising is a good time. Shannon Tindle and John Aoshima put a fun spin on the established formula of Tsuburaya Productions’ beloved property, which is certainly helped by some gorgeous animation and a talented voice cast. Beyond its spectacular action and endearing humor, some thoughtful commentary on balancing personal responsibilities will help enhance viewer engagement.
