Revolver (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): She simply wants to get paid as promised…
South Korean film “Revolver” is a dry but wryly engaging mystery noir thriller which keeps its attitude as straight as possible along with its lead actress. While it takes some time for us to discern the rather complicated situation around … Continue reading
Will You Please Stop, Please (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): How she endures at her workplace
South Korean independent film “Will You Please Stop, Please” is often painfully funny as following the ongoing hardships of its rather meek heroine. While usually quite busy with doing one task after another at her workplace, she finds herself cornered … Continue reading
Pilot (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A pilot in drag
South Korean film “Pilot” does not convince me enough with its drag comedy. Right from its first drag scene, I could not help but aware of its artificial aspects as the camera, which can be quite glaringly objective as many … Continue reading
The King of Comedy (1982) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): A classic comedy of embarrassment
Congratulations, Mr. Rupert Pupkin. You are definitely one of the creepiest movie antiheroes in the history of cinema, but you and your little “comedy” movie, Martin Scorsese’s “The King of Comedy”, have somehow persisted for more than 40 years, despite … Continue reading
Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): A vampire girl and her suicidal human boyfriend
“Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person”, a Canadian French language film which was released as “I’ll Be a Very Creative Humanist Vampire” in South Korea a few weeks ago, is as amusing as suggested by its absurd title while also … Continue reading
Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): Eddie Murphy still has it
Netflix film “Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F”, which was released in last week, shows that Eddie Murphy still has it, and I am glad about that. As the belated third sequel to “Beverly Hills Cop” (1984), the movie feels redundant … Continue reading
Kill Room (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): A killing art business
I still remember when I looked around the Contemporary Art section of the Art Institute of Chicago in April 2010. Many of those artworks in that section looked pretty valuable as far as I could see, but I often wondered … Continue reading
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
