The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 (2015) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): So it ends here
So it ends here. After the intermission of one year, we finally get “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2”, which starts right from the point where the first part was over. While the end of the war is indeed … Continue reading
Spectre (2015) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4) : Mr. Bond’s another personal problem to deal with
After all those bitter tough journeys he went through, James Bond still has other things to brood over. While serving us with a number of spectacular action sequences as well as many of its familiar conventions including pretty ladies, fancy … Continue reading
The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (2015) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): So they come to work together…
“The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” shows some potentials for better things to come, but, though it is not wholly without entertainment, it ultimately fizzles in the end due to its mediocre plot and weak characterization. The whole movie feels like being … Continue reading
Turbo Kid (2015) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4) : Not for your kids, certainly
“Turbo Kid” is a junk food packed with cheesy and hammy elements while cheerfully drenched in a nasty hot sauce of violence. It is goofy and amusing at times, but the movie eventually feels more like an expired one-note joke … Continue reading
Maze Runner: the Scorch Trials (2015) ☆☆(2/4) : No maze in this time
“Maze Runner: the Scorch Trials” is the middling second chapter of the trilogy which merely promises the next sequel when it is finally over. While its predecessor showed some potentials with an interesting premise despite its flaws, the movie bores … Continue reading
Ant-Man (2015) ☆☆☆(3/4) : Let’s get small!
Here is a good news for you. Although it did have some problems during its pre-production stage, “Ant-Man”, another new superhero film from Marvel Comics, is equipped with enough wit and personality to distinguish itself amidst a myriad of superhero … Continue reading
Veteran (2015) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4) : Tough cop Vs. Spoiled rich kid
South Korean film “Veteran” is slick and competent in its technical aspects, and it has a fair share of good moments which do show its fillmmakers’ considerable efforts put behind them. As a matter of fact, I would rather watch … Continue reading
Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation (2015) ☆☆☆(3/4): Cruise strikes again
“Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation”, the fifth film of the franchise which was started almost 20 years ago, is packed with action sequences to thrill and excite us. Considering all the exhilarating fun we had with the previous films, that … Continue reading
Minions (2015) ☆☆1/2 (2.5/4): More Minions, shall we say
Are you familiar with those silly yellow creatures called Minions? If you have seen animation feature film “Despicable Me” (2010) and its recent sequel, you cannot possibly forget their many scene-stealing moments. In “Despicable Me”, they were the goofy workers/cheerleaders … Continue reading
Blackhat (2015) ☆☆☆(3/4) : Style over keyboarding
At some point during my viewing of “Blackhat”, I began to focus on how it looks rather than what it is about. As a ‘cyber-thriller’, it surely has an interesting topic which has been more relevant along with those frequent … Continue reading
