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

Is there any divorce comedy film as dark, cynical, and vicious as Danny DeVito’s 1989 film “The War of the Roses”? The main pleasure of this particularly nasty classic comedy movie is how uncompromising it is with a number of … Continue reading
Heart Eyes (2025) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A murderous “date night”
“Heart Eyes” is another typical hybrid between horror and comedy. This time, we get a mix between slasher horror and romantic comedy, and the resulting mix is often enjoyable mainly thanks to the good chemistry between its two lead performers, … Continue reading
At the Bench (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): Five episodes at one bench
Japanese anthology film “At the Bench” presents five different episodes unfolded at one particular spot. While some of them are connected with each other to some degree, each of these five episodes are fairly engaging in each own way, and … Continue reading
Materialists (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): A matchmaker between two choices
Celine Song’s second feature film “Materialists” is a calm romance film about one matchmaker who both calculates and cares a lot. While her practical mind seems interested in someone supposedly quite ideal for any woman out there, her heart cannot … Continue reading
Shall We Dance? (1996) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): His little lively hobby
1996 Japanese film “Shall We Dance?” humorously and touchingly reminds us that we human beings often need a bit more than merely going through our life day by day. Leisurely following its plain middle-class hero’s accidental venture on dancing, the … Continue reading
My Daughter Is a Zombie (2025) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): It’s hard to take care of a zombie daughter…
South Korean film “My Daughter Is a Zombie” tries to be a cross between horror comedy and family melodrama, and the result is mildly engaging on the whole. As a horror comedy, it is not absurd enough to be, shall … Continue reading
