Star Trek Into Darkness(2013) ☆☆☆(3/4) : Vigorous calisthenics within its playground

After Earth (2013) ☆☆(2/4) : A survival camp with dad – on the Earth

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
