Project Hail Mary (2026) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Now it’s up to him – and his alien friend
“Project Hail Mary” is an entertaining science fiction packed with enough wit, style, and drama to engage us during its rather long running time (156 minutes). While it is not as ambitious as Christopher Nolan’s “Interstellar” (2014), it still works … Continue reading

Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) ☆☆1/2 (2.5/4): Mostly in the same water again
James Cameron’s new film “Avatar: Fire and Ash” is a rare letdown from the filmmaker who has not disappointed us for more than 40 years. Again, we are surely served with a lot of spectacular visual elements and thrilling actions, … Continue reading
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
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) ☆☆☆☆(4/4): A boy and his alien friend
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
Superman (2025) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Superman in a cheery reboot
“Superman”, what is supposed to be the first product from whatever has been planned by DC Universe (DCU) during last several years, is a bit welcoming for being, well, cheery. After that ponderously serious period mainly represented by “Man of … 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
Predator: Killer of Killers (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): Three Predator tales
Animation feature film “Predator: Killer of Killers”, which was released on Disney+ early in this month, tries an interesting variation on what we have seen from “Predator” (1987) and several films from its franchise. This time, we get three different … Continue reading
Lilo & Stitch (2025) ☆☆1/2 (2.5/4): likable but unnecessary
“Lilo & Stitch”, the live action movie version of the 2002 Disney animation feature film, is a likable product packed with enough charm and spirit, but I also somehow found it rather unnecessary. This is probably because I belatedly watched … Continue reading
Lilo & Stitch (2002) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Her alien pet
I somehow missed a chance to watch Disney animation feature film “Lilo & Stitch” when it came out in 2002, and now I deeply regret that after finally watching it at last night. While it looks rather modest in terms … 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
