Star Trek Into Darkness(2013) ☆☆☆(3/4) : Vigorous calisthenics within its playground
“Star Trek Into Darkness” does its calisthenics vigorously within its playground. After the decent start with “Star Trek”(2009), J.J. Abrams goes all the way again with crashes and bangs, and it is certainly thrilling to watch, but it remains within … Continue reading
After Earth (2013) ☆☆(2/4) : A survival camp with dad – on the Earth
My demand is not that big when I enter the screening room for reviewing SF film. Regardless of the level of my expectation, I merely want to be entertained or excited by what it wants to show and tell us, … Continue reading
Chicken with Plums (2011) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5) : Last week of an artist
“Chicken with Plums” is a film which would not have worked at all if it had been without its own distinctive style and humor. Its story is so old-fashioned that the movie is frequently on the verge of looking silly … Continue reading

The Croods (2013) ☆☆☆(3/4) : A colorful prehistoric quest for new shelter
Appreciating “The Croods” as a well-made animation feature film for family audiences, my mind went astray and reflected on one small memory from my childhood years. As a little nerdy movie fan, I constantly watched movies through the VHS tapes … Continue reading
The Great Gatsby (2013) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): So it beats on….
Baz Luhrmann’s “The Great Gatsby” is a gorgeous but ultimately disappointing adaptation which excessively tries hard to grip the spirit of one of the great American literature works. Watching it was not a bad experience, but my interest was quickly … Continue reading
Get Shorty (1995) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4) : He’s well-qualified to be a Hollywood producer
It is a jungle out there in Hollywood, and “Get Shorty” presents the various kinds of animals residing at the lower strata of that jungle through a pungent but cheerful satire about one nutty pre-production process. Almost everyone in the … Continue reading
