The Dressmaker (2015) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): She’s back in the town – with a sewing machine
Australian film “The Dressmaker” is mildly entertaining as it tries to stitch different patches together for dressing up its comic revenge story. The overall result is not that satisfying, but it is not wholly without fun and charm thanks to … Continue reading
Zero Motivation (2014) ☆☆☆(3/4): Israeli female solders stuck in office job

Goosebumps (2015) ☆☆☆(3/4): You know what is going to scare you…
Around this Monday, I finished reading “Joyland”, one of Stephen King’s recent novels. While its story revolves around a dark murder mystery involved with one plain but special amusement park in North Carolina, I enjoyed its vivid, affectionate description of … Continue reading
Macadam Stories (2015) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4) : Three stories from a shabby apartment building

Man Up (2015) ☆☆☆(3/4): Predictable but lovable

The Lobster (2015) ☆☆☆(3/4) : To be or not to be a lobster
“The Lobster”, which received the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival early in this year, is another dark, weird, and ruthless comedy from Greek filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos, who previously struck us with his offbeat black comedy film “Dogtooth” (2009). … Continue reading
Amour Fou (2014) ☆☆☆(3/4) : “Would you care to die with me?”
When they meet each other for the first time, they have no idea of how they would influence each other’s fate. As pulling or pushing each other, they are slowly moved toward to a certain destination waiting for them from … Continue reading
The Exclusive: Beat the Devil’s Tattoo (2015) ☆☆☆(3/4): A scoop beyond his control
Around the ending of John Ford’s classic film “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance” (1962), one supporting character says, “When the legend becomes fact, print the legend.” In case of South Korean film “The Exclusive: Beat the Devil’s Tattoo”, the … Continue reading
