Netflix animation film “Vivo”, which was released on last Friday, is not as colorful or memorable as required by its music background, and that is a shame considering a number of notable talented folks assembled here for its production. While … Continue reading
Jungle Cruise (2021) ☆☆1/2 (2.5/4): A goofy overlong adventure film

The Witches (2020) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A bland and redundant adaptation
Many of Roald Dahl’s stories for children have certain dark and vicious qualities, and “The Witches” is no exception. Although it did not scare me much when I happened to read it around 1993, its twisted sense of humor often … Continue reading
Enola Holmes (2020) ☆☆☆(3/4): Her game is afoot indeed
Netflix film “Enola Holmes”, which was released yesterday, has lots of fun with its feministic response to the tales of one of the most famous detective characters in the history. Mainly fueled by the vibrantly plucky performance from its exceptional … Continue reading
