How to Please a Woman (2022) ☆☆☆(3/4): Cleaning and sex
“How to Please a Woman” is a little Australian comedy film which cheerfully handles female sexual desire and yearning without any pretension. Although it could delve more into its interesting main subjects in my humble opinion, the movie often amuses … Continue reading
Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): Good luck on your viewing
Romanian film “Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn”, which won the Golden Bear award at the Berlin International Film Festival early in last year, is quite bold and naughty to the core. Right from its deliberately salacious opening scene, the … Continue reading

Minions: The Rise of Gru (2022) ☆☆☆(3/4): They’re back – with their little boss
Animation feature film “Minions: The Rise of Gru” entertained me more than I expected. Yes, I only mildly enjoyed “Despicable Me” (2010), its following 2013 sequel, and its spin-off entry “Minions” (2015), and I am not a big fan of … Continue reading
Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Michelle Yeoh in the Madness of the Multiverse
“Everything Everywhere All at Once” is definitely one of the most wildly imaginative films of this year. While its story premise involved with multiple alternative universes is not exactly new to many of us due to several recent films such … Continue reading
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022) ☆☆☆(3/4): Cage goes wild again…
Nicholas Cage has been one of the most interesting actors working in Hollywood during last four decades, and there are good reasons for that. Sure, he appeared a bunch of bad films during several recent years just because of his … Continue reading
Good Luck to You, Leo Grande (2022) ☆☆☆(3/4): Two different persons in the room
It is alternatively amusing and touching to observe the genuinely human interactions between the two very different lead characters of “Good Luck to You, Leo Grande”, which was released on Hulu in last week. Although most of the story is … Continue reading
Unboxing Girl (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): The trouble with her crummy boss
South Korean independent film “Unboxing Girl” is often difficult to watch in many of its absurdly exasperating moments. Mainly revolving around its heroine’s very unlucky office romance, the movie has a lot to show and tell about sexism and gender … Continue reading
Fire Island (2022) ☆☆☆(3/4): Pride and Prejudice on a gay village
“Fire Island” initially made me feel awkward for good reasons. Here is a little but funny and exuberant gay romance comedy film which is also quite frank and proud about the irrepressible homosexuality of many of its main characters, and, … Continue reading
