Mom and Dad (2017) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Moms and dads get very mad
Suburban life has been always a fertile ground for satire, and “Mom and Dad” is one of such morbid cases exemplifying that aspect. The movie wants to have a vicious nutty fun with its outrageously disturbing premise, and it blatantly … Continue reading
Mayhem (2017) ☆☆☆(3/4): Things become quite rough in his workplace….
Mean, savage, and hilarious at every point, “Mayhem” is willing to go all the way for making you cringe and then laugh for its literally brutal horror satire on corporate culture. You may be bothered by its remorselessly graphic depiction … Continue reading
Cargo (2017) ☆☆☆(3/4): For saving his child
While being your average zombie movie on the surface, Australian film “Cargo” deserves some praise for several reasons. Although we are often served with those flesh-craving zombies as expected, it is mostly driven by its hero’s desperate attempt to save … Continue reading

The Cured (2017) ☆☆☆(3/4): After a zombie epidemic
Bringing some fresh and interesting ideas to its horror genre. “The Cured” rises a bit above many other zombie movies. Yes, zombie movies are dime a dozen these days, but the movie presents a compelling social/political drama to engage us … Continue reading
Mary and the Witch’s Flower (2017) ☆☆☆(3/4): A girl’s wondrous magic adventure
Right from its very first shot, Japanese animation feature film “Mary and the Witch’s Flower”, the first work from Studio Ponoc, tries to follow the footsteps of Studio Ghibli, and the result is successful to some degrees. While its artistic … Continue reading
Early Man (2018) ☆☆☆(3/4): A minor work from Aardman Animations
“Early Man”, the latest animation film from Aardman Animations, is enjoyable but surprisingly slight in many aspects. While I liked some of its good moments, I somehow came to be rather distant to its story and characters instead of fully … Continue reading
Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): When Han Solo was young…
Despite its rather troubled production process, “Solo: A Star Wars Story” is fairly watchable on the whole, but it also feels redundant and unnecessary while not that terrific enough for recommendation. Although there are several entertaining moments in the film … Continue reading
Claire’s Camera (2017) ☆☆(2/4): Hong Sang-soo’s misfire in Cannes
Several weeks ago, I belatedly read “Two Weeks in the Midday Sun”, which was written by my late friend/mentor Roger Ebert in 1987. The book was about numerous things he observed and experienced during the two weeks of the 1987 … Continue reading
The Trip to Spain (2017) ☆☆☆(3/4): Six days in Spain – with Coogan and Brydon
“The Trip to Spain” is as fun and amusing as I expected, and that is fine with me. Like two previous films “The Trip” (2011) and “The Trip to Italy” (2014), the movie constantly draws lots of small laughs from … Continue reading
Ethel & Ernest (2016) ☆☆☆(3/4): The life story of one ordinary couple
British animation feature film “Ethel & Ernest” is about one ordinary couple who lived together for more than 40 years. Based on Raymond Briggs’ acclaimed graphic novel which was based on the life story of his parents in real life, … Continue reading
