KPop Demon Hunters (2025) [+] Netflix animated action film with some musical parts. Huntr/x — comprised of lead vocalist Rumi (Arden Cho), main dancer Mira (May Hong), and main rapper Zoey (Ji-young Yoo) — is both the number one K-Pop group in the world and secret demon slayers. But their greatest challenge will be defeating the Dark's new boy band, the Saja Boys, aimed at stealing Huntr/x's fans and robbing them of their power. Meanwhile Rumi has a dark secret that threatens to blow up the group… Awesome K-Pop songs elevates this film. Also like the cute demon cat and crow buddies.
K-Pop Idols (2024) [/] Apple TV documentary series going behind the scenes with three K-Pop artists: Jessi, American born South Korean rapper already successful but recently left her label to do it on her own; Blackswan, an international group with two Korean and two foreign members going through upheaval when members Fatou and Leia have a falling out; and Cravity, a new boy band trying to re-establish themselves after a failed debut during the Pandemic… the series does show you how hard this particular industry is and I can of feel they overemphasized it for the drama. It's well produced but the content maybe bit more depressing than I expected.
Time Locker+ (2023) [/] Vertical shooter with chunky polygon graphics. You are a bear traveling up and automatically shooting other animals, collecting coins and power-ups along the way. Everything stops if you're not moving (except for this blackness behind you that creep up the screen so you can't just tarry too long). But other than the time-stop gimmick it's not much of a game.
Snake.io+ (2023) [/] Arcade snake game where you and a bunch of other people (and bots) are in a large arena. Eat dots to grow your snake. Cause other snakes to crash into you or walls and they die with their bodies turning into more nutritious dots. I've played this before and still not that interesting.
The Moscow Offensive (2018) [-] I guess this is book 22 of Dale Brown's Patrick McLanahan series. I've "read" (on abridged audio books) Silver Tower and Flight of the Old Dog (1987) and a couple of other books. I only read the first five chapters of The Moscow Offensive and didn't find it interesting mostly because the main tech are small combat Mechs. His previous books I'd read are set on a space station, on a B52, or use advanced fighter jets. For some reason high-tech infantry small-unit (e.g. special operations teams) action doesn't interest me and I guess I was expecting more advanced fighter jets.
