Laapataa Ladies (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): Two switched brides
Indian film “Laapataa Ladies”, which was recently shown at the Jeonju International Film Festival in South Korea, is an entertaining mix of comedy, drama, and a bit of wholesome feminist message. Starting from one absurd comic situation involved with mistaken … Continue reading
Jango: Uncharged (2023) ☆☆(2/4): A merely goofy B-spoof
South Korean “Jango: Uncharged” is a merely goofy B-spoof which mildly amused me from time to time. While it is thoroughly silly and outrageous from the beginning to the end, the movie eventually goes nowhere as showing its many limits … Continue reading
The Fall Guy (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): The adventure of one stuntman
“The Fall Guy”, which is incidentally released as “The Stuntman” in South Korean theaters (I hope that local audiences will not mistake it for the remake of Richard Rush’s “The Stunt Man” (1979), by the way), has a lot of … Continue reading
Wicked Little Letters (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): A little problem in their town
“Wicked Little Letters” is a lightweight comedy film coupled with a bit of mystery. While it is not that difficult for us to guess the answer to the mystery inside the story even before its half point, the movie remains … Continue reading
A Traveler’s Needs (2024) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Hong and Huppert meet again
Isabelle Huppert, who recently had her 71st birthday in last month, is one of the most interesting movie actresses I have ever seen. With that consistently distinctive persona of hers, she has steadily fascinated and impressed us for more than … Continue reading
Yannick (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): One nutty interrupter
French film “Yannick” is a little one-joke comedy film which may often amuse you with the increasingly absurd situation surrounding its main characters. Despite its rather short running time (67 minutes), the movie does as much as intended without wasting … Continue reading
Laroy, Texas (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): A little comic noir set in Texas
“Laroy, Texas” is a little comic noir which reminds us again of that old genre lesson: the world always wins no matter how much you try to win by any means necessary. Clearly reminiscent of its senior noir films such … Continue reading
Late Night with the Devil (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): When the devil was invited on air
“Late Night with the Devil” brings some fresh satiric spin to its familiar genre territory, and I like that. Yes, this is basically another your average found footage horror film, but it is a skillful genre product packaged with some … Continue reading
Shortcomings (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): This one disagreeable Asian American lad
“Shortcomings”, which recently came to Netflix in South Korea, is often amusing for how it tackles the representation of Asian Americans. As a matter of fact, the movie opens with the screening of a popular flick not so different from … Continue reading
Música (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Distracted but talented anyway
“Música”, which is currently available on Amazon Prime, gave me a rather mixed impression. The movie is often likable with a series of whimsically musical moments, but it is also quite distracting at times as trying too many things within … Continue reading
