Nobody 2 (2025) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A killer’s family vacation
“Nobody 2”, a sequel to “Nobody” (2021), attempts to generate more laugh and thrill from the one-joke promise of its predecessor. Although it is a fairly competent product, the result is more or less than a pointless rehash in my … Continue reading
Ballerina (2025) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Brutally Redundant to say the least
“Ballerina”, a spin-off installment within the John Wick franchise, is brutally redundant to say the least. While surely serving us a heap of extremely brutal and violent action scenes as expected, this slick and competent genre piece does not bring … Continue reading
Jaws (1975) ☆☆☆☆(4/4): Still on the top of the field
If there had not been any shark movie at all after Steven Spielberg’s 1975 film “Jaws” came out, we would not complain that much in my humble opinion. After all, this great film tried and then succeeded in nearly everything … Continue reading
The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): A lightweight fun in retro style
“The Fantastic Four: First Steps”, the latest product from Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), is a lightweight fun in retro style. Although this is not exactly new or fresh in my humble opinion, it is relatively more entertaining than many of … Continue reading
Shiri (1999) ☆☆(2/4): A seriously dated South Korean blockbuster
I wonder how I would have responded to the 1999 South Korean film “Shiri” if I had watched it 26 years ago. I did not feel any particular need to watch it mainly because I was unfortunately exposed to its … Continue reading
Superman (2025) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Superman in a cheery reboot
“Superman”, what is supposed to be the first product from whatever has been planned by DC Universe (DCU) during last several years, is a bit welcoming for being, well, cheery. After that ponderously serious period mainly represented by “Man of … Continue reading
Superman (1978) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): You will still believe that he can fly
The greatness of Richard Donner’s 1978 film “Superman” lies in a rare quality which has been seldom equaled during last five decades. Masterfully balancing itself between earnest gravitas and a witty sense of humor, the movie not only entertains us … Continue reading
KPop Demon Hunters (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): A ridiculously fun K-POP fantasy animation
First, I must confess that animation feature film “KPOP Demon Hunters”, which was released on Netflix a few weeks ago, willingly goes into a musical territory not so familiar to me to say the least. Yes, despite being a South … Continue reading
Heads of State (2025) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Cena and Elba on the run
“Heads of State”, which was released on Amazon Prime in last week, works best whenever it focuses on its preposterous story premise for comedy. While it sometimes becomes a bit too serious and intense whenever it is on action mode, … Continue reading
Central Intelligence (2016) ☆☆☆(3/4): His old schoolmate returns…
“Central Intelligence” is unabashedly silly and outrageous, but it is also quite hilarious at times for pushing its comic premise as much as it can. While this is basically a mismatched duo comedy reminiscent of many other comedy films such … Continue reading
