Victim/Suspect (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): Victims treated as “suspects”
It is often infuriating to watch Netflix documentary film “Victim/Suspect”, which was released in last week. Closely following one steady and persistent investigative reporting process, the documentary shows us how many of sexual assault survivors in US have been grossly … Continue reading

Sprinter (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): Desperate Sprinters
South Korean independent film “Sprinter” tells the parallel stories of three different sprinters competing for the national team selection for each own desperate reason. Although their individual stories may feel rather plain and generic, the movie juggles these three different … Continue reading
Scream VI (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): Ghostface is back… in Manhattan
I am rather amused by how the Scream franchise has hopped from one subject after another during last 26 years. At first, “Scream” (1996) simply made a fun of many of its genre clichés and conventions, and then the franchise … Continue reading
The Little Mermaid (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): Redundant but watchable anyway
“The Little Mermaid”, the latest case of the ongoing intellectual property regurgitation by Disney, is redundant at worst but watchable at best. I am not still sure whether this live-action version of the 1989 Disney animation film is really necessary … Continue reading
Sisu (2022) ☆☆☆(3/4): Let’s kill them all!
I winced and then was amused more than once as watching Jalmari Helander’s new film “Sisu”, an extremely violent but preposterously entertaining World War II film which really goes over the top along with its silent but striking hero. As … Continue reading
Blood & Gold (2023) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): It surely kills a bunch of Nazi soldiers (and that’s all)
Seriously, you need much more than killing Nazi soldiers when you make a bloody and violent World War II exploitation flick. After all, Nazi soldiers in World War II movies usually exist for getting killed in one way or another … Continue reading
Where’d You Go, Bernadette (2019) ☆☆(2/4): Where’d it go wrong, I wonder
Since he drew my attention via “School of Rock” (2003) and “Before Sunset” (2004) when I was young and wild, Richard Linklater has seldom disappointed me during next 20 years, and that is why it is really depressing to see … Continue reading
Fathom (2021) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Two scientific researches on whale sounds
Documentary film “Fathom”, which is available on Apple TV+ at present, alternates between two different researches on the sounds of humpback whales, but it somehow only ends up merely scratching the surface in both cases. Probably because both of these … Continue reading
Fast X (2023) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Crash Crash Bang Bang as usual
I feel a bit conflicted about “Fast X”, the latest product from the Fast & Furious franchise. Being as dumb, silly, and preposterous as you can expect from the franchise, the movie has some enjoyable elements, but this is basically … Continue reading
The Wandering Earth II (2022) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Before they launched the Earth
Chinese film “The Wandering Earth II”, the prequel to “The Wandering Earth” (2019), attempts to provide an epic background story behind the previous film, and it accomplishes its ambitious mission to some degree. Throughout its 173-minute running time, the movie … Continue reading
