Wow, took me 2 years on this channel to finally properly cover Jackie Chan. I hope I did him justice with this video. There are a million things that can be said about him, but there are also millions a people talking about him, so I try to find something more unique about his craft. Hopefully this video offers you some new insights into the world of action cinema!

I was just thinking... I can't believe it has been 2 years since I started this channel. Where did all the time go?
That image makes the date look so futuristic! Too bad the movie sucks.
Well, looks like we are just in time for some up to date drama.
Anyway, today we'll be talking about Cars, one of the most shameless Chinese knock-off movie ever made. It also happens to be one of the worst looking animation of all time.
It's fun to bash bad movies, but I want to do a bit more. I also want to show you the domestic audience reception for this movie. It's a conversati...

Hello, 2021! Hope you had a great holiday season. It is a new year, but please remember to continue staying safe!
This is the last update of 2020. We made it through another year!
2020 was tough, so let's end the year with a feel good comedy. Introducing Saint☆Young Men, a animated film about Jesus and Buddha taking a vacation in modern day Japan. The premise itself is already hilarious, but the jokes it offers are also great. They are not only funny, but deep, offers unexpected insights into how faith fits into modern society.

New year new me!
Sorry for the slight delay! My sleep schedule is upside down again.
For our first video of 2021, we'll return to Chinese cinema. Initially, I wanted to cover the undisputed worst Chinese animation ever made, The Autobots, and talk about its fascinating behind the scene stories.
But there are also a few Chinese films that came out in late 2020 that felt like I should talk about when it is still mostly fresh in people's memory.
The contenders are:

This week, I'm joining an alliance of essayists on a little collaboration called The Director Project, and talk about the legendary grumpy old man himself: Hayao Miyazaki.
His works are often described as magical, lively, and full of humanity. But what makes it so special? Today, we'll going to dive into a favourite of mine: Princess Mononoke, and find out!

Welcome to December, the final month of the year 2020. What a year it was, huh? Hopefully everyone will have a happy and safe Christmas.
Last update of November! Oh I can hear Mariah Carey already. Enjoy the winter season, y'all!
If you noticed there seem to be a lot of Japanese films featured in this channel lately... That was totally unintentional. We'll be back to Chinese films starting January.
I wasn't going to make a video this week. My insomnia is back again, and I have other projects I'm working on that takes time. But something about Over the Moon feels too captivating that, I can't help but talk about it in a semi-proper video.
I don't think the video is all that excellent. It's solid, but a tad too predictable. But it has this comfort to it. It's so easy to watch and so r...

Christmas music is playing already. We are entering the holiday seasons. It's time to unwind and relax. Except me... You'll know what I mean.
Well, I gushed about this series enough on this channel, it's time to let it all out.
Editing this video was not easy. For a series primarily known for its action (and all the good looking stars), I chose to talk about something as abstract as metaphors. Making the visual interesting thus become a big problem.
Doesn't help that I was under the weather a little. So if my narration so...

Uneventful week for the channel, so, let's get right into it.
We hit 200k! Yeah it just kinda creeps up on me, and I didn't even noticed we hit a mile stone until a week ago.
Just like our 100k, I'll highlight some smaller channels that deserves attention, and post them on social media and community tab.
Yep. People are going to crucify me.
I watched this movie a few times, and every time, I came to the same conclusion: I don't like it. I just can't bring myself to like it. I find this movie impressively made, and decently paced. I can only imagine how powerful the visual is to Japanese people. Its effects is unlike any Godzilla film that came before. For the first time, landscapes are tr...

Happy Halloween!
Hello everyone, hope you had a good week! No media discussion this week, as I have a few important questions and updates I want to talk about and get your opinions on it.
Without further ado:
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT GODZILLA?
Our next video on Shin Godzilla is now in the work. Plenty of notes are being taken. The original intention is to t...

Hope you all enjoy our last video. It was a trip down memory lane for me. As I'm writing this, I'm still tired and exhausted.
Well, that's a weirdly personal essay.
It's deeply uncomfortable for me to open up my trauma like this. But seeing how things have been lately, I feel like it's perhaps best for me to be uncomfortable, if it means I can help someone, even if it's just a little bit.
Crayon Shin-chan has been a part of my childhood, even thought it probably shouldn't. It was aired at 9 or 10pm, so it ...

Man, a lot of things happened just the first week of October. Hope you all are doing well. Canada is experiencing 2nd wave right now, but the provincial governments are taking a lot of hard measure to curb it. Hopefully it works out.
September is almost over, and so is 2020. How was your new year resolution? I can't tell you mind, because I don't even remember what my resolution is lol. I guess it was to finish my first feature script.
But then I abandoned it with about 10 pages left to finish, and started a second script. Oh 2020, you are full of surprises.
I heard so many good things about it over the years. And by years, I mean ever since the 2000s. It seems like Thai Horror never stopped being good, keeping both the 90s ghost comedy, and the 2000s supernatural horror alive.
In this video, I have 3 film recommendations to make, and with no exaggerations, they are among my favourite horror films of all time.

I can't believe it, but the temperature reached as low as 1°C at night where I live. Summer really did come and go and I went outside like... Twice.
Did you have a productive summer? How are you doing at the moment?
