Baki the Grappler (2001)
Required viewing for any fan of martial arts or any man in that case
If you are looking at this you are probably familiar with this anime. Maybe you know there is also a manga which takes the blood and bone, bordering realistic theme of this universe, into even greater hype domains.
My favorite manga, my favorite anime, my favorite peace of literature, my favorite philosophical discourse about nature of being A MAN.
Its wonderful in so many ways, and it speaks on many levels. Be prepared to set new PR's and practice sardonic smile in front of a mirror.
Be prepared to yell in Japanese for no reason whatsoever (sub > dub).
Be prepared to look into the distance and remember ancient arrow catching techniques.
Be prepared to start overeating and challenging animals to duels.
1000/10 Would watch again, and AM watching again. hahahah
PS: there's a new season out, 2018 production. Its awesome!
Zhan lang II (2017)
If you love martial arts, if you loved The Raid, you will like this!
Entered into it with low expectations, didnt even watched the 1st one (but will do now)... This movie is GREAT!
Simple decision if you usually google for asian action movies. And the theme and surroundings are very unique since the setting is in Africa.
10/10 from me, it is fast paced and interesting!
Get Out (2017)
Real psychological thriller, that will make you laugh at times.
This is one of those movies that grips you and doesnt let go until the end. There is some excellent humor in it too, but it never goes against the mood of the film, it builds on it and this is the first time I actually saw a movie who was a serious psychological triller, but which got a few good laughs out of me!
The actors are all well casted and main role dude did an excellent job, hope to see him in more movies too.
I recommend it to anyone loving excellent films, especially to those of us who love a good psychological thriller.
10/10
The Orville (2017)
Imagine me shouting this on top of my lungs: Watch it now !!!
This show is a masterpiece!
There are enough positive reviews already. If you love the spirit of Star Trek, you will find that Spirit alive and kicking in this show! GO WATCH IT NOW!
Everything is great, casting is perfect, actors give off good vibes, Seth is great captain.
One thing that maybe Star Trek did and Orville doesn't do - is forced ethics.
Orville is more human than star trek was, but it never spirals into chaos, but maintains a fine line of being human and striving to be more. Star Trek sometimes appeared to good to be true.
I cannot believe it but in many ways its maybe even better (!) than Star Trek at being Star Trek. But not to insult the director, he made something truly exceptional and I hope hope hope that the show grows and makes many seasons for times to come. I love the jokes, love the comedic reliefs that are well timed and never ruin the suspense but supplement it in harmony.
Just wonderful. Glad I took the risk of watching it, trust me, these people ain't lyin' it really is THAT GOOD!
Star Trek: Discovery (2017)
Some "Discoveries" are better left undiscovered
I had somewhat of high hopes despite seeing trailers that sucked and when I saw first 3 eps, it was confirmed.
It has all the messages sjw's would like to see that are ruining current society.
For example - women = men and woman is only worth it if she acts LIKE A MAN which is an insult to femininity which is already all but dead in current times.
I cannot support a show that doesn't follow the spirit of ST and to add insult - demonizes not only masculinity, but also femininity. It seems sjws can only be happy if we end up in a world of feminine males and masculine females. Which is vomit inducing.
Is is an abomination of a show, it has nothing to do with the SPIRIT of Star Trek, only name is the same. Gene would be very sad if he saw this. There are no ethical explorations of different cultures, no deep questions about the challenges we might face in future, no character development. Everything is black and white and cast is horrendous. I liked the 1st captain - Chinese woman, but all others were pretty bland and FORCED.
THANKFULLY I saw a recommendation to check out THE ORVILLE which by description seemed like a show that's mocking ST but ORVILLE ENDED UP being TRUE SUCCESSOR OF STAR TREK.
Everyone who loves ST and has loved TNG VOYAGER and Original, even DS9 should check out The Orville. I honestly don't know how this can keep the rating . Every review is negative, and I signed up just to put my contribution in making 1st season of this abomination the only season.
