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
F1 (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): Driving fairly well along a familiar course
“F1” drives fairly well along a familiar course, and I enjoyed that to some degree. Although predictably following numerous genre conventions and clichés, the movie gives us a series of top-notch car racing sequences definitely worthwhile to watch on big … Continue reading
Predator: Killer of Killers (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): Three Predator tales
Animation feature film “Predator: Killer of Killers”, which was released on Disney+ early in this month, tries an interesting variation on what we have seen from “Predator” (1987) and several films from its franchise. This time, we get three different … Continue reading

South Korean film “Hi-Five” have some silly but cheerful fun with its colorful genre elements, and I enjoyed that more than expected. While this is another familiar superhero origin tale, the movie is funny and spirited with a lot of … Continue reading

Lost Bullet 2 (2022) ☆☆(2/4): A bit more warm-up – with some bangs and crashes
French Netflix film “Lost Bullet 2”, the sequel to “Lost Bullet” (2020), wants to drive further than its predecessor, but it ends up doing a bit more warm-up with some bangs and crashes while mostly sticking to its previously establishes … Continue reading
Lost Bullet (2020) ☆☆(2/4): A warm-up before the next sequels
French Netflix film “Lost Bullet” is so typical and predictable in many aspects that you can easily guess everything even before watching it. First, we have a criminal hero who is pretty good in his profession, and you surely know … Continue reading
Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning (2025) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): It delivers ponderously
“Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning”, which is a direct follow-up to “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One” (2023), does not disappoint you in case of action despite being weaker than its recent predecessors. Yes, again, it will thrill … Continue reading
Novocaine (2025) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Numb and painless, shall we say
“Novocaine” is a one-joke comedy action film which goes too long and violent in my humble opinion. While it generates some funny moments from its exaggerated comic story premise, the movie is also often blatantly violent as its hero endures … Continue reading
