Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): A quirky Kiwi adventure comedy
“Hunt for the Wilderpeople” is cheerfully odd and charming enough to draw lots of laughs from me. Freely rolling with its two distinctive main characters who cannot possibly be different from each other, the movie generates numerous small and big … Continue reading
Captain Fantastic (2016) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): An atypical family’s wacky journey
I remain unsure and baffled about how “Captain Fantastic” is about, even though I was well aware of what it is about. I guess it is supposed to be a whimsical comedy drama about a quirky alternative family lifestyle, but … Continue reading
Love & Friendship (2016) ☆☆☆ (3/4): Stillman & Austen
“Love & Friendship” is as witty and delightful as we can expect from the combination between Jane Austen and Whit Stillman, who fit well with each other as much as Cormac McCarthy and the Coen Brothers in “No Country for … Continue reading
Café Society (2016) ☆☆☆(3/4): ….And life goes on anyway
As I was watching Woody Allen’s new movie “Café Society” during this Friday evening, I was reminded again of how many of Allen’s recent films have been less anxious compared to his earlier movies. While his characters struggle with their … Continue reading
Worst Woman (2016) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Her Worst Day
First, I must tell you that the young heroine of South Korean film “Worst Woman” is not as awful as you may surmise from its title. She merely happens to have a messy day which comes to throw her into … Continue reading
Keanu (2016) ☆☆☆(3/4): Isn’t it cute?
If you have followed my inconsequential twitter account, you probably know that I have considerable affection toward cats. While I also like dogs to some degrees, I cannot help but look closer at cat whenever I happen to spot it … Continue reading
Ghostbusters (2016) ☆☆☆(3/4): Ladies are not afraid of ghost either
“Ghostbusters”, the reboot/remake of the 1984 film, attempts to do something different, and that should be respected although the result is not wholly different from what we saw from the 1984 film and its 1989 sequel. Again, we are treated … Continue reading
Marguerite (2015) ☆☆☆(3/4): By George, she can’t sing well…
It is always funny when a character seems so oblivious to how funny he (or she) is, and French comedy film “Marguerite” gets plenty of laughs from such a premise like that. Here is a lady who is so blindingly … Continue reading
A Bigger Splash (2015) ☆☆☆(3/4): When their peaceful summer rest is disturbed
My mind became more sensitized than usual during the screening of “A Bigger Splash”. While sensing the nervous undertone around its four main characters, I was more attentive to subtle nuances and small gestures glimpsed from them, and I was … Continue reading
Hail, Caesar! (2016) ☆☆☆(3/4): There is no business like movie business
The Coen brothers have never been boring throughout their long, illustrious career. For instance, after a gripping cold-blooded neo-noir thriller in their terrific debut film “Blood Simple” (1985), they went all the way for cheerful wackiness in “Raising Arizona” (1987), … Continue reading
