8-Bit Christmas (2021) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A mixed Christmas tale
“8-Bit Christmas” is neither sweet nor naughty enough to generate some good laughs from me. While it wants to be one of those nostalgic childhood Christmas tales, it is rather too broad and cartoonish in terms of story and characters, … Continue reading
Let It Snow (2019) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A passable winter holiday flick
Netflix film “Let It Snow” is a passable winter holiday flick you can watch just for killing your time at cold winter night. Although it is thoroughly trite and predictable in terms of story and characters, the movie is equipped … Continue reading
Spencer (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): It’s Christmas in Hell for her…
Pablo Larraín’s latest film “Spencer” is presented as “A fable from a true tragedy”, and it is clear from the beginning that the movie goes for something deeper than those well-known facts about its famous human subject. Although the overall … Continue reading

Feast of the Seven Fishes (2019) ☆☆☆(3/4): A tasty Christmas romantic comedy film

Klaus (2019) ☆☆☆(3/4): A likable Santa Claus origin story
Netflix animation feature film “Klaus”, which was released on Netflix early in this November, is more entertaining than I expected. Although it is surely your average Christmas tale associated with the origin of Santa Claus, the film distinguishes itself to … Continue reading
Krampus (2015) ☆☆☆(3/4): Here’s a scary, naughty Christmas treat for you
“Krampus” is a scary, naughty Christmas treat for you if you are ever tired of those platitudinous Christmas family movies. While its early part looks like a naughtier version of “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” (1989), it is soon turned into … Continue reading
Bad Santa (2003) ☆☆☆ (3/4) : A very naughty santa
In my Korean review written in December 2008, I warned to my blog readers: “If you don’t want alcoholism, robbery, urination, lecherousness, R-rated words, Santa fetish, sex, homophobia, stalking, groin-kicking, blackmail, treachery, and some bizarre way of playing a … Continue reading
