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
Alien: Romulus (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): A well-mixed entry of the 45-year-old series
“Alien: Romulus” surprises me as showing that there are still enough fun and thrill in the series which was started 45 years ago. While there are nice old stuffs to be appreciated, there are also refreshing new stuffs to be … Continue reading
Jules (2023) ☆☆(2/4): The Old Man and the Alien
My late mentor/friend Roger Ebert hated, hated, hated what he usually called “the Idiot Plot”, and here is his own definition: “A story in which every problem and conflict would be resolved in five minutes, if not for the fact … Continue reading
A Quiet Place: Day One (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): The First Days of the End
“A Quiet Place: Day One” is inherently redundant, but it is mostly competent enough to hold our attention at least. As the prequel to John Krasinski’s “A Quiet Place” (2018) and the following 2020 sequel, it does not have anything … Continue reading
Spaceman (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Sandler and a Spider
I admire how Adam Sandler has developed his potential as a performer during last three decades. While his entire career has been riddled with a heap of disposable comedy films such as “The Waterboy” (1998) and “Jack and Jill” (2011), … Continue reading
Alienoid: The Return to the Future (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): An obligatory finale
South Korean film “Alienoid: The Return to the Future” is not as boring as I feared, and that is the only consolation for me. Thanks to the sprawling narrative of “Alienoid” (2021), the movie has lots of things to gather … Continue reading
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): Better than most of its predecessors
I still remember how much I winced and cringed as enduring what followed after Michael Bay’s “Transformers” (2007). While the first film was fairly watchable, all of the next four sequels were utterly atrocious in many aspects thanks to Bay’s … Continue reading
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) ☆☆☆☆(4/4): A monumental masterpiece by Kubrick
It is fascinating to see how Stanley Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey” has remained a timeless masterpiece which dared to explore and present our endless sense of awe and curiosity toward the space out there. Although it has been nearly … Continue reading
Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Cameron back in Pandora
James Cameron’s new film “Avatar: The Way of Water” is another big stuff of entertainment you can expect from him. Although it may not be as envelope-pushing as many of his previous films such as its predecessor, it is certainly … Continue reading
Prey (2022) ☆☆☆(3/4): Her big game
“Prey”, the fifth installment of the Predator franchise which was released on Disney+ two days ago, is a wonderful surprise for this summer. This is another variation of the story formula established in “Predator” (1987), but it has enough style … Continue reading
