Gladiator II (2024) ☆☆(2/4): A ponderous sequel without much fun
Ridley Scott’s latest film “Gladiator II”, a sequel to his Oscar-winning film “Gladiator” (2000), is a ponderous sequel which does not provide anything fun and new to enjoy. Sure, “Gladiator” is not exactly a great film, so it seems easy … Continue reading
Venom: The Last Dance (2024) ☆☆(2/4): Until death does them apart
“Venom: The Last Dance”, what is supposed to be the last chapter of the trilogy started with “Venom” (2018), is a schizophrenic mess which fails to mix well its goofy parts with more serious plot elements. While it is occasionally … Continue reading
The Shadow Strays (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Extremely violent and incredibly excessive
Indonesian action thriller film “The Shadow Strays”, which was released on Netflix on last Thursday, is extremely violent and incredibly excessive. While it continues the trend of those bloody and violent Indonesian action flicks mainly represented by “The Raid: Redemption” … Continue reading
Transformers One (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): One of better Transformers flicks
Animation feature film “Transformers One” is one of the better Transformers flicks during last 17 years. Yes, I did not like most of those Transformers movies except a very few cases including “Bumblebee” (2018), so this may not sound like … Continue reading
I, the Executioner (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Same as before
South Korean film “I, the Executioner”, which is the sequel to director/co-writer Ryoo Seung-wan’s 2015 film “Veteran” (It is simply released as “Veteran 2” today in South Korean theaters, by the way), attempts to excite and entertain audiences as much … Continue reading

Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): An IP smorgasbord, shall we say.
As you probably remember, I belong to a minor group of audiences who feel that Deadpool is a pretty annoying superhero dude. I understand well that he is often incapable of not being your typical wisecracking loudmouth, but I do … Continue reading
Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): Eddie Murphy still has it
Netflix film “Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F”, which was released in last week, shows that Eddie Murphy still has it, and I am glad about that. As the belated third sequel to “Beverly Hills Cop” (1984), the movie feels redundant … Continue reading
Ultraman Rising (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): Bringing up baby
Netflix animation film “Ultraman Rising”, which was released a few weeks ago, is as silly and serious as it can be. Based on a famous Japanese superhero franchise, the film tries a cheerful mix of comedy, action, and drama, and … Continue reading

Monkey Man (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): A gritty and intense debut feature film by Dev Patel
Dev Patel’s debut feature film is a gritty and intense genre piece to be admired for several good reasons. On the surface, this is basically another your typical revenge drama driven by lots of action and tension, but it is … Continue reading
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): George Miller back in action
George Miller’s latest film “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga”, which a prequel to “Mad Max: Fury Road” (2015), is another entertaining entry in its memorable series which was started 45 years ago. Although it does not surpass the greatness of … Continue reading
