Brain Candy is very funny biting satire, and it's also the most American the Kids in the Hall have ever felt, as they downplay their own culture for a major Hollywood production. This looks and feels a lot like the other Lorne Michaels SNL movies of the 90s, although better than all except for Wayne's World.

Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo 2012
EVANGELION 3.0 is perhaps the most dense, alienating, challenging Evangelion has ever been thus far. Like Shinji, we practically shout at the film throughout for it to give us answers, to give us something to hold onto, so we can make sense of this narrative. When the film does cooperate, it continues playing by its own rules, and gives us what we need and not necessarily what we want. The gap that we will likely never see is going to infuriate fans forever. Bravo, Hideaki Anno, you just topped the outrage that Episodes 25-26/END OF EVANGELION received.
