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
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
Humint (2026) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A slick but bland genre product
South Korean filmmaker Ryoo Seung-wan’s latest film “Humint” is a slick but deficient genre product. While there are a number of well-executed scenes to entertain us, the movie also feels a bit too trite and bland in terms of storytelling … Continue reading
The Wrecking Crew (2026) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A generic buddy cop action flick with some Hawaiian flavor
“The Wrecking Crew”, which was released on Amazon Prime in last week, is a generic buddy cop action flick spiced with some local flavor. While it has some personality besides being supported well by its two seasoned lead performers, the … Continue reading

Netflix film “The Rip”, which was released on this Friday, is a typical crime action thriller film which will not surprise you much if you are familiar with its genre clichés and conventions. While it is relatively more competent than … Continue reading
Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) ☆☆1/2 (2.5/4): Mostly in the same water again
James Cameron’s new film “Avatar: Fire and Ash” is a rare letdown from the filmmaker who has not disappointed us for more than 40 years. Again, we are surely served with a lot of spectacular visual elements and thrilling actions, … Continue reading
The Running Man (2025) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): In a deadly reality show
Edgar Wright’s latest film “The Running Man” could be more entertaining in my humble opinion. While its overall result is as slick and competent as you can expect from Wright, the movie does not distinguish itself enough compared to many … Continue reading
Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): A middle chapter packed with enough style and action
I must confess that I am not a main target audience of Japanese animation feature film “Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc”, which happened to be released in South Korean theaters in last month. In fact, right before watching … Continue reading
A Working Man (2025) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Statham on John Wick mode – no surprise here
David Ayer’s latest movie “A Working Man” is a run-of-the-mill action flick which will not surprise you a lot if you are a seasoned moviegoer like me. As a sort of cross between “Taken” (2008) and “John Wick” (2014), it … Continue reading
One Battle After Another (2025) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): A full-throttle political genre mix a la PTA
Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest film “One Battle After Another” is a full-throttle political genre mix to captivate and then entertain you in unexpectedly various ways. As he has always done during last three decades since his first feature film “Hard … Continue reading
