Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): An entertaining IP mix with some heart
“Spider-Man: No Way Home” is a mostly entertaining Intellectual Property (IP) mix which actually made me care a little more than expected. While it is still considerably (and frustratingly) connected with Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) just like its two predecessors, … Continue reading
Spiritwalker (2020) ☆☆☆(3/4): A slick and efficient fantasy action flick
South Korean film “Spiritwalker” is a slick and efficient genre piece which handles its familiar genre elements much better than I thought when I came across its trailer in last month. Once it sets the rules around its utterly preposterous … Continue reading
Army of Thieves (2021) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Fairly simple to crack
Netflix film “Army of the Thieves”, which was released a few weeks ago, is fairly simple to crack as a typical genre product. To be frank with you, this heist flick is so generic in many aspects that I could … Continue reading
Eternals (2021) ☆☆1/2 (2.5/4): The Curious Misfire of Chloé Zhao
“Eternals”, the latest offering from Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), is a curious misfire whose heart seems to be in some other place. Like “Black Widow” (2021) and “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” (2021), it attempts to try … Continue reading
Ron’s Gone Wrong (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): His little malfunctioning friend
Animation feature film “Ron’s Gone Wrong” may aim low from the beginning, but it is more entertaining than expected. Although many of its components are familiar to the core, it fairly works well as cheerfully swaying back and forth between … Continue reading

Copshop (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): A fixer, a killer, and an officer
“Copshop” is an efficient action thriller flick which plays well with its familiar genre elements on the whole. Right from its opening part, we already have a pretty good idea on what we are going to get, but the movie … Continue reading
Prisoners of the Ghostland (2021) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Cage in Sonoland
Sion Sono’s latest film “Prisoners of the Ghostland” looks like an ideal combination between two different figures who have respectively been known well for going wild and crazy in each own way. While Sono has surely impressed us with a … Continue reading
Dune (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): A prophecy is unfolded…
Denis Villeneuve’s latest film “Dune”, which is based on the first half of Frank Herbert’s 1965 science fiction novel, sometimes felt like a sweat to me. While the movie kept me impressed or mesmerized thanks to its sheer visual power … Continue reading
Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021) ☆☆(2/4): A couple of losers still stuck together
“Venom: Let There Be Carnage” is a jumbled mess which is alternatively silly and disappointing. While there still is what made “Venom” (2018) work to some degree, the movie frequently falters as hurriedly pushing its story and characters to the … Continue reading
Venom (2018) ☆☆(2/4): A couple of losers
These days, some superhero movies are fairly good enough to entertain you for a while, but others are mostly bad enough to be forgotten sooner or later. While we had some notable highlights including “Wonder Woman” (2017) and “Black Panther” … Continue reading
