Sisters on the Road (2009) ☆☆☆(3/4): Two different sisters on a journey
South Korean film “Sisters on the Road”, whose remastered version happens to be re-released in South Korean theaters in this week, engaged me more than expected. At first, it begins as a simple but intimate drama revolving around two very … Continue reading
Beast (2022) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Idris Elba vs. Lion
Baltasar Kormákur’s new film “Beast” is a simple but fairly competent survival thriller drama. Although I wish it had a bit more fun and excitement besides having more substance in terms of story and character, the movie has some tense … Continue reading
Do Revenges (2022) ☆☆☆(3/4): Two Vengeful Girls
