Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio Could Have Taken on a Darker Theme!

To be honest, this year's Oscar-winning Best Animated Feature left me somewhat disappointed. Compared to Steven Spielberg's rebellious adaptation of Pinocchio (refer to my previous article), Guillermo del Toro's version is somewhat conservative in its thematic expression. In 19th-century Italy, where Carlo Collodi, the author of The Adventures of Pinocchio, lived, children's literature was commonly educational and emphasized the adoption of moral norms and cultivation of discipline. The Adventur

Attack on Titan: The End of Controversial Masterpiece

"Attack on Titan" has concluded, marking a true endpoint for this anime. Considered a masterpiece of its time, its ending leaves uncertainty about when the next instalment might arrive. It's possible that this marks the definitive conclusion of the series. The manga spanned from 2009 to 2021, while the anime aired from 2013 to 2023. "Attack on Titan" has undeniably resonated deeply with the younger audience, profoundly impacting many viewers throughout its run. I met Eren, who was just as edgy a

A Sketch of Middle-Class Life: Spy x Family Season 1

Upon the recommendation of a friend, I watched Spy x Family (2022), and to my surprise, the first episode immediately caught my attention with its excellent production, well-timed humor, and a lighthearted narrative that contains serious contemplation. Before Kaguya-sama: Love is War - The First Kiss That Never Ends (2022) became a classic with its nearly perfect conclusion, I considered both works to be on the same level of excellence. At the same time, I often pondered about what it was in the

Zack Snyder: Painting Time and Motion

Zack Snyder's visual style in filmmaking is like a symphony of dynamic aesthetics that marries the kinetic energy of comics with the cinematic grandeur of the big screen. With a background steeped in graphic novels, he transforms pages of ink and paper into living, breathing spectacles that leave audiences in awe. Snyder's signature move is the cinematic equivalent of a magician's sleight of hand - time manipulation. He toys with time, employing speed ramping and time remapping to catapult us in

Trust me, even grown-ups need a dose of this kiddie flick!

ChillJane, November 30 2023 CJ Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Imagine handing an adult the daunting task of picking a flick to kill time from a long list of new releases. "Leo" would probably be the last on the list because, let's be honest, its plot summary seems tailor-made for American elementary school kids, like some coming-of-age educational film. If it weren't for the "Adam Sandler is Leo" blurb on the poster, I might've missed that this is actually a gem voiced and co-written by the legendary Adam Sandler

Arcane: The Power of Passion

If you had told me a week ago that I would have not only watched a show about League of Legends but also enjoyed it so much that I would even go on to watch the documentary about how it was made, I would have laughed in your face - but that’s the magic of Arcane, I guess. Given its stellar reviews, I don’t know how I missed the show until now, and to be honest, I almost didn’t watch past the first few minutes because of one character I found particularly grating. Regardless, if you need proof th

If Ariel Can Be Black, Can Mulan Be White?

It’s honestly disappointing to me that the main talking point about about the recent live-action remake The Little Mermaid is focused on Ariel's race rather than the fact that Disney keeps pumping out lazy remakes without a hint of originality. For me, Ariel’s race is so insignificant to the film that it isn’t even worth noting. Still, I couldn’t avoid the conversation more than anyone else could, and when chatting with a friend from China one day, she brought up an argument that almost managed

Superheroes Are Just a Distraction (and They're Failing)

Superhero fatigue is real. I grew up watching Marvel movies, following the universe from the first Thor film in 2011 until Avengers : Endgame in 2019. Despite my love for the franchise and the seemingly exponential growth of Marvel content since Dinsey+ started making shows of it, though, I can count the new Marvel media I’ve watched since 2019 on one hand. There are many theories as to why superhero movies have gone from box office gold to box office bombs, and there’s truth to many of them, bu

Based on real events, the movie actually revolves around a young man who, due to his skill in GT, had the opportunity to become a real-life racing driver.

Elemental: The Quality of Pixar's Animations is Declining

Elemental has been out for a while, but I kept putting off watching it due to the strong appeal of Barbie and Oppenheimer. However, after finally watching it, I find myself sharing the same feelings as those of many Pixar fans - which I did not think much of then - the quality of Pixar's animations is declining. Six years ago, we were awed by Coco, but six years later, Elemental disappoints us. I am comparing the two not only because they are both produced by Pixar, but also because Elemental to
