I'll write a post every 3 months which'll contain the thoughts I had right after watching an anime, movie or tv show. As such it should be taken as mere thoughts that I had directly after watching it. It's NOT a review, more of a final impression if you will.
Anyway It'll contain whatever I watched during those 3 months with little if any regard to release season or current trends.
You can find my complete list of anime I've watched and their ratings on kitsu.io/users/APasz/library. There is no list for western tv/movies unfortunately. If anyone has a good suggestion, let me know.
So without further ado.

2019-01-01 to 2019-03-31
Castle Season 1-7
Castle is up there with Bones in terms of how much I enjoy it.
There are plenty of twists and turns, some a bit more hard swallow than others but overall believable.
As is almost always the case, the technical side of tech is somewhat played with.
Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015)
I'd put Kingsman in the top 5 of best of 2015.
Amazing choreography and spot on acting. And I absolutely agree with Samuel L Jackson when he pushed for that lisp. It really put his character up there.
Because it's true when they say a spy movie is only as good as the villain.
PotC: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
I think this is the third, maybe forth time I've watched this but it is the first time I've seen it at Blu-Ray quality. Boy does it make a difference.
Anyway. This probably one of if not the best pirate movie ever made, apart from Treasure Island that is. Which is on the list to watch again at some point.
All the leads did a brilliant job with their roles.
The music was spot on and never pulled you out of the experience.
The FX for the skeleton was quite well done.
Especially the scene with them under the ship. You'll know the one once you see.
I consider this movie to be an accidental masterpiece.

PotC: Dead Man's Chest (2006) + At World's End (2007)
I'm talking about these two together because they 2 parts of the same story.
As with the first one, this is my second time watching these but this time at a much better quality level.
Now let's be frank, these two simply aren't as good as the first one no matter how to slice it.
While the acting and FX were still done quite well (music especially), there were a good handful or two of scenes I didn't see the point of, or thought were a little too drawn out.
The whole Calypso thing just seems weird and I've gotta ask just how did they mess up Davy Jones the way they did.
At the end of the day though, it is still Pirates of the Caribbean.
These are fun movies to watch and I do recommend watching them.
Puss in Boots (2011)
Excellent voice acting, animation, and choreography.
Lot's of fun here with a fair smattering of jokes for the adults watching.
Chronologically it goes between Shrek 1 and 2 but it's not at all important.
I do recommend watching the Puss in Boots: The Three Diablos short if you enjoyed the main movie.
The Incredibles 2 (2018)
I enjoyed this one immensely.
The writing is pretty darn good. What happens with the undergrounder was quite a solid connection between the two movies. Whether that was something that was thought of during production of TI1 or if it was after the fact, A+.
Animation and voice acting is excellent as expected from a Pixar film.
