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
Happy Gilmore 2 (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): He’s back on the green…
Netflix film “Happy Gilmore 2”, which was released a few days ago, made me laugh and chuckle much more than its predecessor did, and that is sort of achievement in my inconsequential opinion. While I dislike “Happy Gilmore” (1996) a … Continue reading
Happy Gilmore (1996) ☆☆(2/4): There is something schizophrenic about Sandler
Dennis Dugan’s 1996 comedy film “Happy Gilmore” is a prime example of how schizophrenic many of those early comedy movies of its lead actor Adam Sandler feel even at present. Sandler always seems ready to go all the way with … Continue reading
Saturday Night (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A very typically crowded backstage tale
I do not know that much about its main subject, but I can tell you at least that Jason Reitman’s latest film “Saturday Night”, which is currently available on Netflix in South Korea, is a very typically crowded backstage tale. … Continue reading

Misericordia (2024) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Stuck in absurd predicament
Alain Guiraudie’s latest film “Misericordia” is a wry comedy thriller which has some naughty fun behind its back as steadily maintaining its deadpan attitude to its hero’s absurd predicament. No matter how much he tries in one way or another, … Continue reading
The Balconettes (2024) ☆☆(2/4): An uneven and messy female genre mix
Noémie Merlant’s second feature film “The Balconettes” is uneven at best and messy at worst. The movie tries really hard to balance itself among comedy, drama, thriller, and horror, but the overall result is often too jarring and incoherent to … Continue reading
Heads of State (2025) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Cena and Elba on the run
“Heads of State”, which was released on Amazon Prime in last week, works best whenever it focuses on its preposterous story premise for comedy. While it sometimes becomes a bit too serious and intense whenever it is on action mode, … Continue reading
Central Intelligence (2016) ☆☆☆(3/4): His old schoolmate returns…
“Central Intelligence” is unabashedly silly and outrageous, but it is also quite hilarious at times for pushing its comic premise as much as it can. While this is basically a mismatched duo comedy reminiscent of many other comedy films such … Continue reading
