Cat and her kittens during one summer day (2015/07/30)
Please get out of the building, will you? I need to work.
Minions (2015) ☆☆1/2 (2.5/4): More Minions, shall we say
Are you familiar with those silly yellow creatures called Minions? If you have seen animation feature film “Despicable Me” (2010) and its recent sequel, you cannot possibly forget their many scene-stealing moments. In “Despicable Me”, they were the goofy workers/cheerleaders … Continue reading
Shaun the Sheep (2015) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4) : The Sheep in the Big City
I remember well when I encountered those lovely stop motion animation works from Aardman Animations for the first time during late 1990s. Three short animation films featuring Aardman’s iconic characters Wallace and Gromit, “A Grand Day Out” (1999), “The Wrong … Continue reading
Assassination (2015) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4) : Too many shooters
South Korean film “Assassination” wants to juggle lots of things at once. Besides attempting a busy mix of action and comedy in the context of history drama, it shuffles between many various characters bound to converge on a certain point … Continue reading
Camp X-ray (2014) ☆☆☆(3/4) : A guard and a detainee in Gitmo
The Guantanamo Bay detention camp has been one of the most unjust things during the War on Terror, which is still being continued around the world with no end in sight. Because the people held at this camp are technically … Continue reading

Phoenix (2014) ☆☆☆1/2 (3.5/4) : The past is still there for her and others
The war is over, but the past is still there for her and others. Christian Petzold’s “Phoenix”, a quiet but compelling period drama revolving around disguise and manipulation with a touch of film noir, is reticent about the dark period … Continue reading
Big Game (2014) ☆☆1/2 (2.5/4) : No game is too big for this kid
One of many entertaining parts in late Roger Ebert’s memoir “Life Itself” is the story about how he participated in the production of Russ Meyer’s “Beyond the Valley of the Dolls” (1970) as its screenplay writer. While Ebert’s screenplay was … Continue reading
Beyond the Reach (2014) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4) : A survival game in the barren wilderness
“Beyond the Reach” works best when it focuses on a deadly cat-and-mouse game between its two contrasting main characters. While one ruthlessly pushes the other into an extreme condition, it is compelling to watch both of them trying to outwit … Continue reading
Inside Out (2015) ☆☆☆☆(4/4) : Inside the state of mind
Pixar has done it again. Their new animation film “Inside Out” is a simple but sublime work which not only delights us with its boundless imagination but also touches us with its dexterous storytelling. At first, you will be amazed … Continue reading
