Handsome Guys (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Jae-Pil & Sang-goo vs. Evil
South Korean film “Handsome Guys”, a remake of “Tucker and Dale vs. Evil” (2010), attempts to transplant American horror elements to a new local background, and it succeeds to some degree in my inconsequential opinion. While mostly faithful to the … Continue reading
Mean Girls (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): It’s a musical this time…
2024 film “Mean Girls” has a rather complex history just like the recent movie version of “The Color Purple” (1985). It is the movie adaptation of the acclaimed Broadway musical of the same name, which is inspired by the 2004 … Continue reading
Tucker & Dale vs. Evil (2010) ☆☆☆(3/4): Bloody hilarious
To be frank with you, I should have been a little more generous to “Tucker & Dale vs. Evil”, which is still a hilarious mix of horror and comedy although more than 10 years passed since it came out. When … Continue reading
Dicks: The Musical (2023) ☆☆1/2 (2.5/4): A wacky musical of deliberate bad taste
I guess I am not an ideal audience for “Dicks: The Musical”. As shown from a series of footage clips during its end credits, the people behind and in front of the camera go all the way for making a … Continue reading
Hit Man (2023) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): The story of a fake hit man
Richard Linklater’s latest film “Hit Man”, which was released on Netflix in last week, is a delightful black comedy packed with lots of wit, humor, and personality to be appreciated. What we get here is often typical to the core, … Continue reading
A Brighter Tomorrow (2023) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A angry and bitter Moretti movie
Nanni Moretti’s latest film “A Brighter Tomorrow” is unusually angry and bitter compared to many of Moretti’s mild and gentle works such as “Caro diario” (1993). As a seasoned filmmaker who does not approve much of the current cinema trends, … Continue reading
Dream Scenario (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): From dream to nightmare
“Dream Scenario” pushes its preposterous surreal story idea as much as possible, and I often enjoyed that during my viewing. Steadily anchored by one of better performances from its lead actor, the movie doles out a series of dryly absurd … Continue reading
The Idea of You (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): Her cumbersome romance with a star
“The Idea of You”, which was released on Amazon Prime early in this month, is an intimate romantic comedy film which turns out to be more than the gender-reversal version of “Notting Hill” (1999). While we already have a pretty … Continue reading
Anyone but You (2023) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Destined to romance despite all that
Like most of countless romantic comedy films out there, “Anyone but You” will not surprise you that much if you are your average seasoned moviegoer like me. Right from its conventional Meet Cute moment, the movie is thoroughly predictable no … Continue reading
Drive-Away Dolls (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A whimsical crime comedy from Ethan Coen
In my inconsequential opinion, Joel and Ethan Coen have often swung back and forth between two extreme ends during last several decades. On one end, they can give us extremely wacky comedy films such as “Raising Arizona” (1987), “The Hudsucker … Continue reading
