The Big 4 (2022) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Very silly – and very violent
Indonesian Netflix film “The Big 4”, which was released in last week, is a very violet action flick which is also quite silly and melodramatic at times. Although this extreme mix is mostly too uneven and shallow for me, the … Continue reading
Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Cameron back in Pandora
James Cameron’s new film “Avatar: The Way of Water” is another big stuff of entertainment you can expect from him. Although it may not be as envelope-pushing as many of his previous films such as its predecessor, it is certainly … Continue reading
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022) ☆☆☆ (3/4): The ladies carry on
We can only imagine what would follow “Black Panther” (2018) if Chadwick Boseman had not died so early, but I am happy to report that its sequel “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” is much more than a mere next chapter. Although … Continue reading
Remember (2022) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Isn’t he too old for this?
When I watched South Korean action thriller film “Remember” at last night, my mind was often more occupied with wondering how old its hero actually is, instead of being engaged in the film itself. As far as I could see … Continue reading
Black Adam (2022) ☆☆(2/4): Dwayne Johnson is just being there…
I still remember how inconsequential Dwayne Johnson’s brief appearance in “The Mummy Returns” (2001) was. While the trailer emphasized this hulking star wrestler’s participation in the film to considerable degree, whatever he did for the film did not amount to … Continue reading
Bullet Train (2022) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Killers on a Train
“Bullet Train” gives us a brutal and relentless mix of comedy, action, and thriller which worked to some degree for me. While it is often entertaining to watch the game efforts from the cast and crew members of the movie, … Continue reading
Day Shift (2022) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): It’s hard out here for a vampire hunter…
Netflix movie “Day Shift”, which was released on last Friday, tries to have some fun with vampire hunting, but the overall result is rather colorless in my inconsequential opinion. Although it has a fair share of solid action, it could … Continue reading
Carter (2022) ☆☆(2/4): An intensely hollow action flick
South Korean Netflix film “Carter”, which was released early in this month, is an intensely hollow action flick which did not impress me much for many bad reasons. Its frantic and relentless presentation of stylish action sequences may grab your … Continue reading
Hunt (2022) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A tense but convoluted spy hunt movie
South Korean film “Hunt” tries really hard, but I observed it from the distance even while admiring a number of good moments in the movie. It wants to be not only a serious spy drama movie but also an intense … Continue reading
DC League of Super-Pets (2022) ☆☆☆(3/4): Superman’s best friend – and his animal friends
Animation feature film “DC League of Super-Pets” is a delightful product which brings some lightweight spirit to its local genre territory. Unlike many of recent products from the DC Extended Universe (DCEU), the film simply tries to have lots of … Continue reading
