Jango: Uncharged (2023) ☆☆(2/4): A merely goofy B-spoof
South Korean “Jango: Uncharged” is a merely goofy B-spoof which mildly amused me from time to time. While it is thoroughly silly and outrageous from the beginning to the end, the movie eventually goes nowhere as showing its many limits … Continue reading
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): Another story begins…
The recent three movies from the Planet of the Apes franchise were remarkable for a number of good reasons. Besides the first-rate special effects which vividly presented a bunch of various ape characters on the screen, these movies made us … Continue reading
The Fall Guy (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): The adventure of one stuntman
“The Fall Guy”, which is incidentally released as “The Stuntman” in South Korean theaters (I hope that local audiences will not mistake it for the remake of Richard Rush’s “The Stunt Man” (1979), by the way), has a lot of … Continue reading
Kung Fu Panda 4 (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Enough is enough…
Animation film “Kung Fu Panda 4” is a passable product not bringing anything particularly new or surprising to its franchise, which was started with “Kung Fu Panda” (2008) and then continued in the two following sequels during next several years. … Continue reading
The Beekeeper (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): They mess with a wrong beekeeper…
“The Beekeeper” is an oddly uneven action thriller flick. While its action scenes are uttermost serious and intense just like its tough guy hero with a particular set of skills, it is also often so ridiculous in case of story … Continue reading
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Now they will fighter together…
When I was about to watch “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire”, my physical condition was rather exhausted, and I sincerely hoped that I could be energized by whatever it would serve me during the next two hours. Unfortunately, the … Continue reading
Dune: Part 2 (2024) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): …and a prophecy is fulfilled
Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune: Part 2” gives us much of what its predecessor promised to us a few years ago. Yes, his previous film “Dune” felt to me like an exercise rather than an entertainment, but I still admired many of … Continue reading
Badland Hunters (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A post-apocalyptic flick starring Ma Dong-seok
Netflix film “Badland Hunters”, which was released in last week, is a redundant sequel to acclaimed South Korean film “Concrete Utopia” (2023), which was incidentally one of my best South Korean films of last year. While “Concrete Utopia” is a … Continue reading
Ballerina (2023) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): For her best friend
South Korean Netflix film “Ballerina”, which was released several months ago, is an intense action thriller film which distinguishes itself to some degree. While it lacks substance in terms of story and character, that weak aspect is compensated at times … Continue reading
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (2023) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): The passable last product from DCEU
“Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom”, which is the last product from DC Extended Universe (DCEU), is not a catastrophe at all to my relief even though I was not so impressed by its overall result. While it does not surpass … Continue reading
