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
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
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): Save the Racoon
“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” is more or less than the extension of what we saw from the two previous films. This is another familiar product from Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), but it has some colorful style, personality, and … Continue reading
The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023) ☆☆(2/4): Bland and uninspired to say the least
I report to you now that animation film “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” is not as horrible as I feared, but, alas, that is the only good thing I can possibly say about it. To be frank with you, I … Continue reading
Kill Boksoon (2023) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): It is hard to be both a killer and a mother…
South Korean film “Kill Boksoon”, which was released on Netflix at the end of last month, often seems to be confused about how it is about. While it looks like a violent black comedy about a strong heroine who struggles … Continue reading

Furies (2022) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A violent and lurid prequel
Vietnamese film “Furies”, which was released on Netflix in last month, is a solid but ultimately redundant prequel. As the origin story of the main villain character of “Furie” (2019), the movie shows us how that character was hardened and … Continue reading
Saloum (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): An impressive genre film from Senegal
Senegalese film “Saloum”, which belatedly comes to South Korea in this week via a local streaming service, is a little but competent genre film packed with goodies to be savored. Because I did not have much knowledge on what it … Continue reading
John Wick: Chapter 4 (2022) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): John Wick Vs. the World (Continued)
“John Wick: Chapter 4” aims for being bigger, faster, and louder with more style, vision, and excitement than its predecessors, and I appreciate and enjoy that a lot. Sure, the movie is mostly all about style and entertainment without much … Continue reading
