finished watching Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie -Walpurgisnacht: Rising- 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕
If you thought the ending of Rebellion was a bit too hard to follow, buckle up, because Walpurgisnacht Rising comes with no training wheels.

finished watching Lanterns 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗
This is the type of science fiction that considers the inner space of the human mind as vast and fascinating as outer space. Planet-hopping romps can wait. This story is about the mismatch between the Guardians’ idea of heroism and the basic facts of human nature. It’s about what being a Green Lantern does to you. I’ll take such deep analysis over flashy pew pew any day.

finished watching Verity 🌕🌕🌗🌑🌑
Verity feels too satisfied with its own cleverness, but its narrative structure fit the book format better, and its ending robs the resolution of its impact. There are powerful ideas contained here, which neither the novel nor the movie seemed to know how to use.

finished watching Her Private Hell 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
Instead of offering answers, Refn has the movie parade its majestic set designs with mannequin dolls and Greek statues that ooze psychosexual tension; its grandiose orchestral soundtrack; its hypervirile men so rough that they literally light matches by rubbing them against themselves; its two-hued lighting that obscures alternating sides of the characters’ faces; its urban legends about the mist and the dangers it hides.

finished watching Coyote vs ACME 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
Warner Brothers has become as deserving of contempt as the Acme Corporation, and the survival of this movie is a small but noteworthy victory in this era of disrespect for art.

finished watching Ann Droid (Series 1) 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
Usually, stories about AI serve as proofs by example of the search for who we are, but in Ann Droid the important question is who we are to one another.

finished watching The End of Oak Street 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
If you can excuse a less than elegant resolution, this movie rewards with abundant people-munching gore. And if you take a look beneath the surface narrative, you’ll realize this is a far smarter movie than its primeval beasts would suggest.

finished watching The Last House 🌕🌗🌑🌑🌑
The Last House works better when it feels small, when it cares about the value of mutual care and the cumulative weight of uncertainty. But it mutates into a power fantasy for doomsday preppers, with confusing editing and quick flashing lights during action scenes that detract from the emotional content.

finished watching Batman: Caped Crusader 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
Beyond the visual delight that is the retro aesthetic of this art déco Gotham, with its black-and-white TV shows, clunky machine guns, and ubiquitous fedoras, the main attraction of the show is the inventivenes with which it makes the same old villains you think you already know feel fresh again.

finished watching The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
The animation is impeccable, and the music is in keeping with the real-world inspirations of the setting. I only lament that the story could only go as far as established lore allowed.
