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
Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (2018) ☆☆☆(3/4): Here they sing and dance again
“Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again” is better than I expected, and that is a little surprise for me. Yes, this is your typical jukebox musical movie just like its predecessor, but it is somehow less tiresome in comparison as … Continue reading
Intimate Strangers (2018) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A dinner game gone wrong
South Korean “Intimate Strangers” is an amusing comedy film about secrets and lies exposed via a dinner game gone wrong. As cheerfully pushing its main characters into more troubles and embarrassments, the movie generates a number of humorous moments which … Continue reading

Private Life (2018) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): A funny, sensitive human comedy about infertility
“Private Life”, which was released on Netflix this Friday, is alternatively amusing and touching in its intimate and humorous depiction of an ordinary couple struggling with their infertility problem for a long time. While generating lots of small good laughs … Continue reading
Nappily Ever After (2018) ☆☆☆(3/4): Being herself with her natural hair
“Nappily Ever After”, which is currently available on Netflix, is a funny and delightful comedy movie about hairdo and self-image. As an Asian guy who has seldom cared about hairdo (I usually prefer crewcut, by the way), I initially observed … Continue reading
Happy Death Day (2017) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A slasher movie in repeat mode
To be frank with you, I am not a big fan of slasher horror films, but I sort of enjoyed “Happy Death Day”, another small, modest horror flick from Blumhouse Productions. Although it is not as entertaining as “Get Out” … Continue reading
