When I watched “Billie Eilish: Hit Me Hard and Soft – The Tour Live in 3D” during this Sunday afternoon, the screening condition was rather disappointing. Although this was intended to be shown in 3D, it was shown in 2D … Continue reading
Sherlock Jr. (1924) ☆☆☆☆(4/4): A surreal comic masterwork from Buster Keaton
Buster Keaton’s 1924 film “Sherlock Jr.” is an enduring masterwork to be cherished and admired. While it is very hilarious to observe those typically deadpan comic moments expected from Keaton’s phlegmatic screen persona, it also has a series of inspired … Continue reading
The Day She Returns (2026) ☆☆☆(3/4): Three interviews and one acting class
Hong Sang-soo’s new film “The Day She Returns” is interesting for how it tries some playful variation in its repetitive narrative structure. As phlegmatically observing three interviews and one acting class of its actress heroine, the movie has its several … Continue reading
Pizza Movie (2026) ☆☆☆(3/4): A wacky college stoner movie
“Pizza Movie”, which is currently available on Disney+ in South Korea, tries to be as wacky as possible, and it succeeds fairly well in my trivial opinion. Even when you are baffled by what exactly is happening in its three … Continue reading
