155. The Right to Judge [良いこと悪いこと] (2025/NTV/10eps)
One of the better murder-mysteries this year - edge-of-the-seat stuff week after week! It's too bad the writing got kinda ropey in the last 3 eps, with an overly preachy finale. But boy, Mamiya Shotaro can really act.
99. Blood Simple (1984)
Coen bros debut, a neo-noir about an abusive man who hires a PI to kill his wife & her lover (also his employee). That final scene was tense!

Kim Hyoyeon being funny without even trying hard 😂
Her random “Chinese,” the unexpected sneeze in the middle of the letter when everyone was already getting emotional, & the sudden swearing…😭 She really has that natural chaotic humor that just happens without her even trying.
A newly released animated film called “Niu Lai” (牛来) is going viral for all the wrong reasons in China.
People are calling the visuals “disaster-level” , the entire production team was basically just two people: the director and the screenwriter. After 9 days in theaters, the box office still hasn’t even crossed 10,000 RMB.
However, over the last day or two, Niu Lai's reputation has been turning around a bit.
Many people feel that in the age of AI, having filmmakers who still stick to "handcrafted" animation and genuine effort is both honest and far more powerful than polished yet empty productions.
Today, its box office sales grew by 500,000RMB! a massive single-day jump from previous days!
Let's wait and see how the box office plays out!
