Hoppers (2026) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Save the glade
“Hoppers”, the latest animation feature film from Pixar Animation Studios, is more entertaining than I expected. When I watched its trailer several weeks ago, it looked like another typical animation film to watch and then forget, but the film turns … Continue reading
The Bride! (2026) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): This bride is wild!
Maggie Gyllenhaal’s latest film “The Bride!” is a wild mess which alternatively fascinates and distracts you. Loosely inspired by Mary Shelley’s 1818 classic novel “Frankenstein”, the movie attempts to try a lot of different things ranging from horror to musical, … Continue reading
There’s Still Tomorrow (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): Her small but significant step toward female independence
Italian film “There’s Still Tomorrow” is a little but pleasant mix of old and new stuffs to be appreciated. Although this seemingly modest female movie may feel quite typical in terms of story and characters, the movie cheerfully swings back … Continue reading
Rental Family (2025) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): A service business of emotion
“Rental Family” draws your attention first with its curious story subject and then touches you more than expected. Inspired by a rather odd type of real-life service business in the Japanese society (Werner Herzog’s 2019 film “Family Romance, LLC” already … Continue reading
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) ☆☆☆(3/4): It will give you more hell
Nia DaCosta’s new film “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple”, the sequel to “28 Years Later” (2025), is a dark and brutal horror story decorated with human evil and some raging zombies. While you will surely cringe more than once … Continue reading
Ne Zha 2 (2025) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A spectacular but hollow sequel
Chinese animation film “Ne Zha 2”, the sequel to “Ne Zha” (2019), strives to be bigger, longer, and better, but it ends up only accomplishing its first two tasks to my dissatisfaction. Thanks to its much more production budget, it … Continue reading
Ne Zha (2019) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): The story of a demon boy
2019 Chinese animation film “Ne Zha” works best when it cheerfully bounces with a vibrant sense of fun and energy during its first half. I found its mischievous little demonic hero rather endearing even though he sometimes reminds me of … Continue reading
Arco (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): When a boy from the future meets a girl in the past
Animation feature film “Arco”, which was nominated for Best Animation Film Oscar in last month, is often quite engaging for its lovely cell animation style to remember. Although it is rather thin in terms of story and characters, this notable … Continue reading
Sisu: Road to Revenge (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): This time, it’s personal
Jalmari Helander’s new film “Sisu: Road to Revenge”, the sequel to his previous film “Sisu”, is a simple but very intense action movie which is actually quite amusing from time to time. Again, our taciturn hero is going to show … Continue reading
Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): Things change, so they change
I must confess that I observed British TV drama series “Downton Abbey” as frequently going back and forth between amusement and annoyance from the beginning to the end. This is basically your average British upstairs/downstairs class drama, and I could … Continue reading
