The Man Who Killed Don Quixote (2018) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): You finally made it, Mr. Gilliam
First, let me tell you a bit about my admiration on how tenacious Terry Gilliam has been during last two decades. Although his prime period mainly represented by “Brazil” (1985) and “12 Monkeys” (1995) had already passed many years ago, … Continue reading
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018) ☆☆(2/4): No wonder this time

Moana (2016) ☆☆☆(3/4): When she follows the Ocean’s call
“Moana” is a model Disney animation feature film which dutifully follows its familiar storytelling formula with a number of nice changes and variations. Again, we have a spirited young heroine who comes to find her inner strength through one adventurous … Continue reading
Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): A quirky Kiwi adventure comedy
“Hunt for the Wilderpeople” is cheerfully odd and charming enough to draw lots of laughs from me. Freely rolling with its two distinctive main characters who cannot possibly be different from each other, the movie generates numerous small and big … Continue reading
The Triplets Of Belleville (2003) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Meet Sylvain Chomet
While I was aware of its presence as it came out in 2003 and then was nominated for Best Animation Feature Film Oscar in the next year, I only came to watch Sylvain Chomet’s first animation feature film “The Triplets … Continue reading
