The Drama (2026) ☆☆☆(3/4): This is one *nasty* movie
Norwegian filmmaker Kristoffer Borgli’s latest film “The Drama” is quite sour and nasty to say the least. While it starts like your average romantic comedy, the movie soon turns out to be an absurd and vicious black comedy drenched in … Continue reading
Mayday (2026) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A very predictable genre exercise with some amusement
“Mayday”, which was released on Apple TV+ a few days ago, is a very predictable genre exercise with a bit of amusement. As an action comedy film mainly driven by two very different personalities at the center of the story, … Continue reading
Waitress the Musical (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): A funny and likable stage musical to enjoy
“Waitress the Musical”, which is the full presentation of the 2015 stage musical of the same name by Sara Bareilles and Jessie Nelson, is a pleasant experience packed with enough spirit and charm. Besides having a number of funny songs … Continue reading

South Korean film “The Journey to Gyeong-ju” is a mixed bag which actually works better than expected. Although it often feels rather uneven as frequently bumping back and forth between comedy and drama along the story, the movie is somehow … Continue reading
Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes (2020) ☆☆☆(3/4): A little one-cut SF comedy film
Japanese filmmaker Junta Yamaguchi’s 2020 debut feature film “Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes” tries to roll a preposterous but interesting story premise as much as possible within its limited space and time. While you may often get confused at times … Continue reading
Normal (2025) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A sheriff in one supposedly normal town
Bob Odenkirk is surely an interesting actor to watch. At first, he drew my attention via his scene-stealing supporting turn in American TV drama series “Breaking Bad”, and then he took the center in the following spin-off TV drama series … Continue reading
A Private Life (2025) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A psychiatrist under crisis
French film “A Private Life” is a lightweight thriller often toying with a number of uneasy uncertainties surrounding its middle-aged heroine. Steadily supported by its ever-reliable lead actress, the movie amuses us at times as lightly bouncing up and down … Continue reading
Minions & Monsters (2026) ☆☆☆(3/4): Minions go to Hollywood
Animation film “Minions & Monsters” is the first Minions flick I can wholeheartedly embrace without any shame or regret. Yes, these Minions are still a bunch of silly and wacky creatures which may annoy you a lot at times, but … Continue reading

Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) ☆☆☆(3/4): Another deadly game
“Ready or Not 2: Here I Come” tries another deadly game, and it mostly succeeds on the whole. Again, our heroine is hunted by a bunch of unlikable rich people willing to kill her within a limited amount of time, … Continue reading
