Really been enjoying The Hot Spot on Netflix recently, it's a very cosy show and the main friend group are just so endearing and entertaining to watch. Two episodes left to be added/subbed, hope they'll come soon! #thehotspot #netflix #jdrama

A piece I wrote comparing ideas of masculinity and brotherhood in 80s action classics Lethal Weapon and A Better Tomorrow! Probably only scratches the surface, really! #filmsky #film filmpositivity.com/2025/03/08/l...

Very much enjoying that Netflix has been adding more old J-Dramas recently. I loved Beach Boys, and have had a good time with a few others as well. And more being added all the time! Any recommendations? #jdrama #japanesetv #netflix

Very much enjoying Netflix's decision to upload an arseload of old J-Dramas recently, loads of stuff popping up on there that looks interesting #jdrama #tv

Every day I dream of a world in which Chibi Maruko-chan: My Favourite Song has a blu-ray release (and in the UK!).
@alltheanime.com should get on it! It's just a wonderful film #filmsky

Been interested in seeing this for a while! River was my favourite blu ray release of 2024, hoping this can reach similar heights!
Junichi Yasuda's A SAMURAI IN TIME 侍タイムスリッパーis coming to bluray on April 28!

Does anyone know of any good accounts related to J-Drama and Japanese film to follow on here? #filmsky #japan #jdrama

Need to get some new webhosting, I think... Migrating everything looks a bit of a pain but the renewal cost for my existing provider just seems extremely excessive! Some research needed, I suppose!

Looks like we'll be getting some nice new releases of Hong Kong action classics in the near future! I've been hoping for a good release of Hard Boiled, The Killer, and A Better Tomorrow for years! variety.com/2025/film/ne...

So I rewatched Tokyo Story last night... Sadly I still have much of the same problems with it as I did on my first watch, and with Ozu in general. It all boils down to not jiving with his style, unique as it may be. I try to unpack it a bit here: letterboxd.com/filmpositivi...

Watched Puppet Master today and thought it was terrible. Cheap, poorly acted, and barely even any puppety nonsense going on. Every scene dragged out to eternity in a series of bare, under-dressed, empty rooms. Stuart Gordon's Dolls has much more charm and invention, watch that instead! #filmsky

Quite liked A Real Pain. Good performances and interesting characters that you wanted to spend time with and learn about. Moves to the top of my (admittedly not too vast) 2024 film list for now!

On top of the leaderboard for 2024 critics top tens, I've also put together a little list on Letterboxd which is just every film that has appeared on at least one list so far. 📽️ Handy if you want to see how much 2024 you've got through!

I have been updating this with new lists each day, and it's interesting to see how things are shaping up. Anora has appeared on the most lists so far, but no one has placed it as their number 1 film of the year yet. 📽️ See more here: filmpositivity.com/2024/12/04/b...

A couple of entries added to my Netflix J-Drama list brings the total to 20! If you're looking for something to watch, you can do much worse than dipping into the Japanese miniseries available on Netflix. See my current ranking here: filmpositivity.com/2024/06/27/t...

Metacritic used to collate all the critic top ten lists for each year and I always found it really handy, but it seems they've stopped doing it so I've gave a go at doing it myself. Work in progress obviously, and will update as new lists appear! 📽️
