Captain America: Civil War (2016) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): The Avengers 2.5
I remember when I grumbled to myself while watching one certain action scene in “The Avengers” (2012). Watching its two superhero characters clashing with each other over something trivial, I felt the urge to say something to them: “Hey, guys, … Continue reading
Chinese Take-Away (2011) ☆☆☆(3/4): When things happen to him
The opening scene of Argentine film “Chinese Take-Away” looks so absurd that you will not believe that, as shown during the end credits, this darkly comic moment is actually inspired by a truly bizarre real-life incident. Yes, such incidents like … Continue reading
Chronic (2015) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4) : Living through his sick people
It is always interesting to observe human behaviors from movies. “Chronic”, which received the Best Screenplay award at the Cannes Film Festival in last year, engaged me because of its calm observation of curious human behaviors, but I was also … Continue reading
Seymour: An Introduction (2014) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): On his duet of life and art
The first minutes of documentary film “Seymour: An Introduction” was more than enough for me to become interested in its remarkable human subject. As a man who has happily maintained his own balance between life and art for many years, … Continue reading
Steel Flower (2015) ☆☆☆(3/4): Working and living alone by herself
While it may often frustrate you because of its dry, clinical storytelling, South Korean independent film “Steel Flower” has several things good enough for recommendation. As it never goes that deep into its young desolate heroin, the movie occasionally feels … Continue reading
10 Cloverfield Lane (2016) ☆☆☆(3/4): Three below the ground
As the opening sequence of “10 Cloverfield Lane” is unfolded, we know that something bad will happen sooner or later. Everything looks mundane on the surface as its young heroine leaves her place, but the ominous score on the soundtrack … Continue reading
Grandma (2015) ☆☆☆(3/4) : A day with her pregnant granddaughter
To be frank with you, it took some time for me to notice Lily Tomlin. I encountered her for the first time when I happened to watch “All of Me” (1984) on TV during the early 1990s, but they showed … Continue reading
Hail, Caesar! (2016) ☆☆☆(3/4): There is no business like movie business
The Coen brothers have never been boring throughout their long, illustrious career. For instance, after a gripping cold-blooded neo-noir thriller in their terrific debut film “Blood Simple” (1985), they went all the way for cheerful wackiness in “Raising Arizona” (1987), … Continue reading
A Bronx Tale (1993) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): A Bronx boy between two father figures
Any good coming-of-age tale is bound to be evaluated by two questions. What happens to our young lead character in the end besides looking older on the surface? And what happens to us as observing that inevitable process of maturation? … Continue reading
