The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): She returns – but things have changed
“The Devil Wears Prada 2” has a fair amount of fun and style while showing some surprisingly melancholic aspects. As things have surely changed a lot during last 20 years since “The Devil Wears Prada” (2006), the movie becomes a … Continue reading
The General (1926) ☆☆☆☆(4/4): Stone-faced and great as usual
1926 silent black and white film “The General” is simply a great comedy. Although it is 100 years old at this point, the movie is still capable of amusing and entertaining us a lot with many inspired comic moments to … Continue reading

Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice (2026) ☆☆☆(3/4): A bumpy night for all of them…
“Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice”, which was released on Disney+ in South Korea on last Friday, is a fairly entertaining mix of comedy, action, and a bit of time travel. While its science fiction element turns out to … Continue reading
Roofman (2025) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): The story of a nice bad man
Jeffrey Manchester is someone who can be described as a “nice bad man”. While he was a pretty resourceful armed robber who robbed a bunch of franchise stores without much remorse, he was also actually quite nice and considerate to … Continue reading
Hoppers (2026) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Save the glade
“Hoppers”, the latest animation feature film from Pixar Animation Studios, is more entertaining than I expected. When I watched its trailer several weeks ago, it looked like another typical animation film to watch and then forget, but the film turns … Continue reading
The Bride! (2026) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): This bride is wild!
Maggie Gyllenhaal’s latest film “The Bride!” is a wild mess which alternatively fascinates and distracts you. Loosely inspired by Mary Shelley’s 1818 classic novel “Frankenstein”, the movie attempts to try a lot of different things ranging from horror to musical, … Continue reading
Top Secret! (1984) ☆☆☆(3/4): A silly but hilariously free-wheeling parody
Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, and Jerry Zucker’s 1984 film “Top Secret!”, which recently happens to be available on Netflix in South Korea along with a bunch of notable American films from the 1980s, remains as a fairly funny comedy movie. … Continue reading
Good Morning (1959) ☆☆☆1/2 (3.5/4): They want a TV…
Yasujirō Ozu’s 1959 film “Good Morning”, which happens to come to South Korean theaters in this week, is often cheerfully sweet and naughty to my little amusement. While it is as gentle and humane as you can expect from Ozu, … Continue reading
Marty Supreme (2025) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Timothée Supreme
Josh Safdie’s new film “Marty Supreme” is an ambitious mix between absurd comedy and intense sports drama. Quite willing to go all the way along with its increasingly obnoxious and incorrigible hero during its rather long running time (150 minutes), … Continue reading
Eternity (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): A choice for eternity
“Eternity” is alternatively amusing and touching as a human comedy about afterlife, eternity, and love. While surely reminiscent of several other movies ranging from Albert Brooks’ “Defending Your Life” (1991) to Hirokazu Kore-eda’s “After Life” (1998), the movie distinguishes itself … Continue reading
