Sailor Moon Eternal (2021)

The animation looks gorgeous!

[10/10 · 7 June 2021]

As a girl born in the 90s, Sailor Moon was my favorite TV show. Watching the 2 episodes of Sailor Moon Eternal was an amazing experience! The episodes were beautifully paced and I felt like a little girl again.

The story felt slightly more mature than the classic anime. It was also obvious that the writers wanted to make Usagi more powerful and less dependent on Mamo-chan. Their chemistry also seemed much better than what I saw in Sailor Moon Crystal.

Dog Days (I) (2018)

A heartwarming celebration to our canine friends!

[10/10 · 8 August 2018]

I was not excited to watch this movie. However, thanks to moviepass, why not? And I am very glad I did.

The movie has 4 plots. A very energetic dog that's driving a family about to welcome babies crazy, an abandoned puppy that was found by a barista, an old man and his overweight pug and a TV host with her depressed dog after a breakup. The transitions are smooth and it does not feel overwhelming to follow all characters.

The plots are basic and not pretentious. Young kids can understand and older, jaded viewers will not be bored. The movie also puts adopting pets is such a good light that the only "risk" is leaving the theater wanting to adopt a four legged companion.

Dog Days is perfect for dog lovers and/or people who are looking for a light hearted comedy. This is absolutely not meant to be intellectual or a gag comedy.
