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
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
