Predator: Badlands (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): You will root for this alien lad a lot
“Predator: Badlands”, the latest installment from the Predator franchise, is another surprisingly solid piece of entertainment to admire and enjoy. Like its two recent predecessors “Prey” (2022) and “Predator: Killer of Killers” (2025), the movie tries some refreshing and interesting … Continue reading
Spirited Away (2001) ☆☆☆☆(4/4): A girl’s adventures in Miyazaki’s Wonderland
As revisiting Hayao Miyazaki’s 2001 animation feature film “Spirited Away” yesterday, I marveled again on the vivid and mesmerizing qualities of its endlessly fascinating fantasy world. Even though the movie does not explain that much on the whole, we instantly … Continue reading

Steven Spielberg’s 1982 film “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial”, which was re-released in selected theaters in South Korea in this week, is a pure cinematic magic to behold even though more than 40 years passed since it came out. On the surface, … Continue reading

Elio (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): A boy’s little cosmic adventure
“Elio”, the latest animation feature film from Pixar Animation Studios, is a modest but sweet SF fantasy tale which often amused me for good reasons. While it will be fairly enjoyable to young audiences thanks to its bright and colorful … Continue reading
How to Train Your Dragon (2025) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Is this really necessary?
“How to Train Your Dragon”, the live action movie version of the 2010 animation film of the same name, is fairly enjoyable but also quite unnecessary in my humble opinion. Although this is a competent product which will probably satisfy … Continue reading

Alexandre Dumas’ classic novel “The Count of Monte Cristo” is actually a useful guidebook on how to execute a revenge on your mortal enemy as precisely and efficiently as possible. Besides patiently waiting for the right time and the right … Continue reading
A Minecraft Movie (2025) ☆☆(2/4): A goofy beginning
I must confess that I am not a target audience for “A Minecraft Movie”. Even when I was young and wild, my mind was mostly drawn to movies and books instead of playing video games, and, yes, I am not … Continue reading
Mickey 17 (2025) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): More than one Pattinson presented by Bong Joon-ho
Bong Joo-ho’s films always have his own offbeat sensibility to be cherished. Even his phenomenal Oscar-winning film “Parasite” (2019), which is incidentally the most mainstream work in his career, shows that odd and interesting quality at times behind its almost … Continue reading
Paddington in Peru (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): Back in Peru
“Paddington in Peru” is as amiable and pleasant as it can be despite being a bit underwhelming at times. Although you may be disappointed to see that it does not reach the sublime comic level of “Paddington 2” (2017), the … Continue reading
