The Nature Man (2022) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Two YouTubers stuck in a remote place

Annie Hall (1977) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Keaton still shines despite that
Several years ago, one South Korean critic said that it is a shame that we cannot enjoy Woody Allen’s 1977 film “Annie Hall” like we did for many years. Sure, the movie itself is still very witty, funny, and touching … Continue reading
Maru (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): Circle, Circle, Circle…

No Other Choice (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): Killing for employment
Park Chan-wook’s latest film “No Other Choice” is another dark and twisted genre piece you can expect from its director. Following its plain ordinary family guy’s murderous struggle for getting employed, the movie provides a series of morbidly humorous moments … Continue reading
The Roses (2025) ☆☆(2/4): A less vicious and funny remake
Jay Roach’s latest film “The Roses” is too mild and mellow for becoming truly mean and vicious enough to delve into the dark aspects of its story and characters. As unwisely trying to make the two main characters at the … Continue reading
The Naked Gun (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): A thoroughly silly fun
“The Naked Gun”, a legacy sequel to the Naked Gun franchise, is as thoroughly silly and funny as required. Just like its three predecessors including the 1988 film of the same name, the movie is willing to throw a heap … Continue reading
Nobody 2 (2025) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A killer’s family vacation
“Nobody 2”, a sequel to “Nobody” (2021), attempts to generate more laugh and thrill from the one-joke promise of its predecessor. Although it is a fairly competent product, the result is more or less than a pointless rehash in my … Continue reading
Roman Holiday (1953) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): One free day of a princess
William Wyler’s 1953 film “Roman Holiday”, which is being shown in selected theaters in South Korea, is a witty and charming work absolutely tailor-made for its lead actress. Here is an exceptional actress whose charm and presence have never been … Continue reading
The Ugly Stepsister (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): The stepsister’s grotesque struggle for beauty
“The Ugly Stepsister” is a twisted mix of horror and comedy which will alternatively amuse and unnerve you from the beginning to the end. Inspired by one of the most famous fairy tales from the Brothers Grimm, the movie is … Continue reading
Fight or Flight (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A flight full of killers
“Fight or Flight” is one of those goofy action thriller films which do not take themselves seriously while having some outrageous fun with their utterly silly story premise. Although it is rather deficient in terms of story and character, the … Continue reading
