Devilman: Crybaby (2018)
Pretty amazing from many different standpoints
I have not watched any of the previous Devilman movies/series/read the manga. Actually, I randomly stumbled upon this and decided to watch the first episode. And all I have to say is WOW.
The art is awesome.
The story is awesome.
The psychological aspect of the anime is awesome (Black Mirror-esque).
This is like Black Mirror, crossed with Hellsing, crossed with awesome.
If you like fantasy, scifi, anime, you will be a fan.
You will not be a fan if you do not like blood, killing, action, fun, life in general.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did :)
Black Mirror: Nosedive (2016)
If this was a 20-30 min episode, it would have been a 10/10
This episode feels like I am reliving War and Peace (the books) all over again. Did you know that back in the times of Tolstoj, the authors got paid by the page. This is why the classics are so long.
This episode takes a page our of the classics by extending what could have been a very great 20-30 minute episode, and stretching it out, to a point where it becomes painful to watch.
As with most Black Mirror episodes, it is a piece of art on its own. But be sure to have the mouse/remote control handy to skip through about 30-40 minutes.
Overall, as is, I give it a 4/10. If this gets cut down by a fan to a 20-30 minute episode, I will give it a 10/10.
Life (2017)
CONTAINS SPOILERS: I want my money back
This movie was absolutely awful. The story line unfolds as an ever ending cycle of worst case scenarios. Literally. If at any given point in the movie ONE THING would have went right, the movie would have ended. Instead its just non stop b.s. even leading onto the next one.
I would highly suggest not watching this if you are easily triggered by absolutely non realistic decision making processes, mistakes in continuity, or just completely mind blowing stupidity.
1/10, would not watch EVER again.
