Tomorrowland (2015) ☆☆1/2 (2.5/4) : Ambitious, charming, but ultimately flawed
“Tommorowland” can be admired for what it tries hard to reach for. While being an overcrowding mix of a wondrous fantasy tale, intriguing science fiction ideas, and exciting action scenes, the movie is also equipped with innocent charm and earnest … Continue reading
The Shameless (2015) ☆☆(2/4) : Plodding around gloom and wretchedness
South Korean film “The Shameless” has a few good things to mention amid its many failures. As a gray crime melodrama about two different people who come across each other in their seedy underworld, it is shrouded in dark, moody … Continue reading
Spy (2015) ☆☆☆(3/4) : An uproarious action comedy fueled by Melissa McCarthy
Let me tell you one thing: “Spy” is an exhilarating hybrid of action and comedy a lot funnier than whatever its very simple title suggests. With its brash, indomitable comic spirit ready for more outrageous things coming along the plot, … Continue reading

Patang (2011) ☆☆☆1/2 (3.5/4) : The Day of the Kites

Trash (2014) ☆☆(2/4) : Brazilian Slumdogs, so to speak
Somewhere between “City of God” (2002) and “Slumdog Millionaire” (2008), “Trash” has right elements required for its story to tell, but it somehow feels flaccid and uneven in its execution. The movie wants to take us to the bottom of … Continue reading
While We’re Young (2014) ☆☆☆(3/4) : While they are not that young
Getting older does not always mean getting wiser. I am now over 30, and I got a Ph.D degree at last early in this year with a job ready for me, but I still do not know well which next … Continue reading
Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) ☆☆☆1/2 (3.5/4) : Mad Max strikes back again
“Mad Max: Fury Road”, indubitably the best work in the Mad Max series, is a superb action film fully charged with enormous vigor and sparky excitement to overwhelm you to the very end. Mixing old and new elements together in … Continue reading
Coin Locker Girl (2015) ☆☆☆(3/4) : Two tough women in Chinatown
