War of the Arrows (2011) ☆☆☆(3/4) : A duel with bows and arrows
Shooting an arrow is not as simple as it looks. Anyone can shoot an arrow after the basic lesson, but hitting right in the target requires a lot more. Besides having a good bow, arrows, and skills, the archer also … Continue reading
Sector 7 (2011) ☆1/2(1.5/4) : Aren’t they too tasteless for its dinner?
As a movie about some sea monster driven to kill everyone for a heavy dinner in its stuffy playground, “Sector 7” does not break any new ground. Heck, it does not even know where the old grounds to drill are. … Continue reading
Quick (2011) ☆☆(2/4) : Slow delivery of bombs, actions, and cheap gags
The most interesting part of “Quick”, the latest South Korean action movie, is the behind-the-scene footage shown to us at the end credit. I understood they tried to make good action scenes, I saw how much the stunt men and … Continue reading
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4) : It ends well with a bang
Finally, after nearly 10 years, we arrive at the point where the story ends. With the stage for a big finale established in Part 1 in last winter, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2” does an excellent job … Continue reading
Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011) ☆1/2(1.5/4) : Again, it’s messy, noisy, and ugly
One and only good thing about “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” is that it does not break any ground or bottom – and that is all you have to know to decide whether you will watch it or not. While … Continue reading
Super 8 (2011) ☆☆☆(3/4) : A respectful homage to Spielberg films with nostalgia
J.J. Abrams’ new movie “Super 8” turns out to be not as good as what it can be, but it is as good as what it sincerely wants to be, and I liked that. As a respectful homage with nostalgia … Continue reading
Hanna (2011) ☆☆☆(3/4) : Her first field trip in the world
Rarely do I come across the action movies that work as something else while working well as a well-made one. When I realize that I am watching such a movie, I get more interested in it than those bland, … Continue reading
The Town (2010) ☆☆☆ (3/4) : A good crime drama in their rough town
On the whole, “The Town” works effectively as a crime drama despite some weaknesses. Although the movie turns out to be less successful than it wants to be, it works in most parts because the characters and their world are … Continue reading
Tron: Legacy (2010) ☆☆☆(3/4) : Unnecessary but it’s nice to look at anyway
I still have some conflicts about whether “Tron: Legacy” is really necessary for us. “Tron”, its predecessor in 1982, showed the audience the initial potential of CGI with the world they had never seen before. The movie looks now quite … Continue reading
