In Another Country (2012) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4) : Isabelle Huppert on South Korean beach

Men in Black III (2012) ☆☆☆(3/4) : They’re back – with a fun idea
Okay, Okay, I must admit that I was one of the skeptics asking why the hell we need another sequel for “Men in Black” series. I liked the first film for its fun one-joke comedy, and the sequel, which was … Continue reading

Shame (2011) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4) : Orgasm is drug for this lonely man
Whatever you think about sex addiction, you will not laugh about it after you watch “Shame”, an unforgettably harrowing film about one desolate human condition driven by sex addiction. Like the other types of addicts, the life of its hero … Continue reading
The Raid: Redemption (2011) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4) : A relentless action film with high body count
“The Raid: Redemption” will be the most single-minded and simple-minded action flick of this year. Until it finally arrives at its ending, the movie relentlessly and ruthlessly pushes its minimalistic premise to the extreme with its sole purpose – killing … Continue reading
All About My Wife (2012) ☆☆☆(3/4) : He hires Casanova to get rid of his wife
Jeong-in looks like one of the most insufferable heroines I have encountered in recent romantic comedies. A woman of brutal honesty, she always find something to complain and criticize, and then she drives others to the corner with her words … Continue reading
Armadillo (2010) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4) : Danish soldiers on duty in Afghanistan
Because we have heard so many news about US Army struggling in Afghanistan, we sometimes overlook the fact that there are also the other soldiers from different nations who are dealing with the same difficulties in that dangerous area as … Continue reading
