- Paris Murder Mystery (2025)
Watched this in a sneak preview. I don’t think the movie does anything majory wrong. But Personally, I found it rather boring. 5.5/10
- Helix of Frequency, Phenomenon of Love and Void
Helix of Frequency, Phenomenon of Love and Void is the newest single from world’s end girlfriend. Its good, but I like “Hurtbreak Wonderland” more, it feels like it’s soundscape is more expansive, which I value a lot in such an album. - The Problem with Predicates about God
St. Paul says, " One God. " One is something purer than goodness or truth. Goodness and truth do not add anything, but they add in thought, and when it is thought, something is added. The One adds nothing, where He is in Himself before flowing forth into the Son and the Holy Ghost. Therefore he says, " Friend, draw up higher. " A master says, ‘One is the negation of the negation." If I say God is good, that adds something. One is the negation of the negation and a denial of the denial. What does one mean? One means that to which nothing is added. The soul receives the Godhead as it is purified in itself, with nothing added, with nothing thought. One is a negation of the negation. All creatures have a negation in themselves: one negates by not being the other. An angel negates by not being another. But God negates the negation: He is one and negates all else, for outside of God nothing is. All creatures are in God and are His very Godhead, which means plenitude, as I said before. He is one Father of all Godhead. I speak of one Godhead, because there nothing is yet flowing forth, and nothing is touched or thought. If I deny God goodness (but I cannot really deny God anything) - but in denying God anything I grasp at something in Him that He is not, and that must go! God is one - He is a negation of the negation. Therefore he says, " One God, Father of all"; “Friend, draw up higher. "

- Unreachable (2025)
Very cute movie, I really liked the aesthetics(the girls have so many cute outfits.). The composition and framing of many shots are excellent. I also enjoyed the acting, and just how the characters behave; it feels quite different compared to traditional Hollywood blockbusters. Thematically, it’s an interesting exploration as well. However, I feel that the theme of the girl wanting to understand the killer’s motives wasn’t given proper justice and the theme of the girl wanting to connect with her mother is also a bit superficial. Finaly, there was no “WOW” element, story was okay, characters good, how the characters interact with each other great, it was more a relaxing slice-of-life movie. 6/10
- Villain Retirment
The concept is interesting and unique: our protagonist is an all-powerful, unstoppable figure, akin to a One Punch Man-type character. At the same time, however, he is unapologetically evil, he simply enjoys killing and torturing people. Thus, we have a protagonist who is less a person and more an unstoppable force of nature, something to be feared and endured like a hurricane, and the story explores how people deal with that.
What I dislike, though, is that the consequences of his actions are not properly conveyed. It just doesn’t make sense that he commits murder and even genocide, yet people still treat him almost normally. Some even want to become romantically involved with him, excusing it with “the heart wants what the heart wants”, that simply isn’t a sufficient exploration of romantic feelings vs morality.
Later on, when the multiverse and time travel are introduced, the story goes completely off the rails and becomes just silly.
