Piercing (2018) ☆☆☆(3/4): A certain kinky foreplay
“Piercing” is a little kinky comedy thriller which wryly unnerves and amuses us. As cheerfully observing the very tricky foreplay process between its two deeply perverse characters, the movie provides a number of darkly amusing moments along with some nice … Continue reading
Ralph Breaks the Internet (2018) ☆☆☆(3/4): Ralph and Vanellope’s another adventure
Animation feature film “Ralph Breaks the Internet” amuses us a lot for good reasons. After throwing its two broad but endearing main characters into that vast world of the Internet, the movie serves us a number of colorful and spirited … Continue reading
The Party (2017) ☆☆☆(3/4): One eventful evening meeting
Sally Potter’s latest film “The Party”, which received the Guild Film Prize at the Berlin International Film Festival early in last year, is a little enjoyable experience to be savored and appreciated. While it simply puts several various characters into … Continue reading
A Simple Favor (2018) ☆☆☆(3/4): A witty suburban comic thriller
“A Simple Favor” is a witty suburban comic thriller gliding with enough charm and spirit to engage and entertain you. While it will probably not surprise you much if you are familiar with its genre clichés and conventions, the movie … Continue reading
Bodied (2017) ☆☆☆(3/4): Aggressive and provocative
Watching “Bodied” was one of the most interesting experiences I had during this year. While I frequently cringed at its no-hold-barred battle rap scenes full of expletives to shock and jolt us, I observed them with considerable fascination, and I … Continue reading
A Midsummer Night’s Dream (2017) ☆☆☆(3/4): A modern Shakespeare farce to enjoy
Although I have read lots of literature works during last 30 years, I somehow have not been that familiar with those great works of William Shakespeare. Sure, I did read the Korean translation version of “Hamlet” and some other notable … Continue reading
Thunder Road (2018) ☆☆☆(3/4): A police officer with issues
“Thunder Road” is a small character comedy drama film which draws your interest right from its opening scene, which is the best part of the movie in my inconsequential opinion. Although the rest of the movie is less memorable in … Continue reading
The Long Dumb Road (2018) ☆☆1/2 (2.5/4): Another familiar road trip movie
As watching “The Long Dumb Road”, I was reminded of several other road movies released during this year. At first, we watched Ed Harris, Jason Sudeikis, and Elizabeth Olsen journeying together in “Kodachrome” (2017), and then we saw Vera Farmiga, … Continue reading
The Ballard of Buster Scruggs (2018) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Six stories from the Coen brothers
The Coen brothers’ latest film “The Ballard of Buster Scruggs”, which was premiered at the Venice International Film Festival this August and was released on Netflix on last Friday, is a delightful mixed bag to amuse and entertain you a … Continue reading
Juliet, Naked (2018) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): With her boyfriend’s idol
“Juliet, Naked” is too mild for me. While there are some good elements to be appreciated, these moments do not click well together without much comic synergy, and I was left with empty feeling even though I was amused to … Continue reading
