Army of Thieves (2021) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Fairly simple to crack
Netflix film “Army of the Thieves”, which was released a few weeks ago, is fairly simple to crack as a typical genre product. To be frank with you, this heist flick is so generic in many aspects that I could … Continue reading
Naked Singularity (2021) ☆☆(2/4): Tepid Singularity
“Naked Singularity”, which somehow crept into South Korean theaters in last week, is not as singular as whatever it wanted to be. The movie itself is not awful at all, but it is a tedious mess of half-baked ideas which … Continue reading
Ron’s Gone Wrong (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): His little malfunctioning friend
Animation feature film “Ron’s Gone Wrong” may aim low from the beginning, but it is more entertaining than expected. Although many of its components are familiar to the core, it fairly works well as cheerfully swaying back and forth between … Continue reading

Shadow of the Vampire (2000) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Filmmaking with the Vampire
F.W. Murnau’s “Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror” (1922) has been regarded as one of the greatest silent horror films for many good reasons, and one of them is the striking image of its titular character. Although the film itself was … Continue reading

All Hands on Deck (2020) ☆☆☆(3/4): A comic summer story of three different lads
French film “All Hands on Deck”, which received the Honorable Mention FIPRESI Prize when it was shown in the Panorama section at the 70th Berlin International Film Festival early in last year, is a small but crisp summer comedy about … Continue reading
I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore (2017) ☆☆☆(3/4): What happens to Ruth
Netflix film “I Don’t Feel at Home This World Anymore” is a little dark comedy which becomes more absurd and violent than expected as bouncing from one point to another along with its two main characters. We are tickled at … Continue reading
Little Boxes (2016) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): As they are trying to settle in a suburb
“Little Boxes” is a mild comedy about one family trying to settle in their new neighborhood. Although the result is less edgy and satiric than it could be while not showing anything particularly new about its familiar main subjects, we … Continue reading
Free Guy (2021) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Enjoyable but derivative
“Free Guy” is an enjoyable but derivative product reminiscent of too many other similar films out there. Its story premise will surely take you back to a number of movies associated with video games, but it does not try to … Continue reading
Limbo (2020) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Refugees stuck in a remote Scottish island
“Limbo” is a small offbeat film about a group of refugees stuck in a remote Scottish island. While often recognizing their quiet desperation and frustration in a number of achingly melancholic moments, the movie is also often surprisingly funny with … Continue reading
Drunk Bus (2020) ☆☆☆(3/4): His life-changing bodyguard
“Drunk Bus” drives along a very familiar course, but it is more colorful and entertaining than expected. While this is your average coming-of-age comedy drama about a young man getting wiser via a sudden change coming into his drab daily … Continue reading
