Enola Holmes 2 (2022) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Miss Holmes Returns
Netflix film “Enola Holmes 2”, the sequel to “Enola Holmes” (2020), has more fun and excitement with its plucky titular heroine and several other characters around her. Based on the acclaimed young adult novel series by Nancy Springer, the movie … Continue reading
The Stranger (2022) ☆☆☆(3/4): As he becomes close to his suspect
Australian Netflix film “The Stranger”, which was released in last month, is a chilly psychological drama which is incidentally based on one true crime story. I have no idea on how much the movie is actually close to its real-life … Continue reading
The Good Nurse (2022) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A clinical true crime story
Tobias Lindholm’s latest film “The Good Nurse”, which was released on Netflix in last month, is rather disappointing despite a considerable number of talents gathered for its production. While its true crime story is often chilling to say the least, … Continue reading

Confession (2022) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): It’s competent, if not better
South Korean film “Confession”, which is the remake of Spanish film “The Invisible Guest” (2016), is fairly competent on the whole. Mainly because I belatedly checked out the original Spanish version on this Tuesday, I did not expect much when … Continue reading
The Invisible Guest (2016) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): An intense defense preparation

Orphan: First Kill (2022) ☆☆1/2 (2.5/4): A little killer coming into US
“Orphan: First Kill”, a belated prequel to “Orphan” (2009), attempts to present the backstory of that little creepy but compelling villain of the 2009 film. Although it unfortunately stumbles more than once during its second half after steadily building up … Continue reading
A Clockwork Orange (1971) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): It is ticking well to disturb us
Whenever I have to rank the 13 feature films of Stanley Kubrick, “A Clockwork Orange” is always a major headache for me. Along with “Dr. Strangelove” (1964) and “2001: A Space Odyssey” (1968), it shows Kubrick at the peak of … Continue reading
I Came By (2022) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Competent but ultimately flawed
I must confess that I found it rather challenging for me to talk about Netflix film “I Came By”, which was released a few days ago. Because many of crucial moments in the film depend on unexpected narrative turns, I … Continue reading
Girl in the Picture (2022) ☆☆☆(3/4): Who is she?
Netflix documentary film “Girl in the Picture”, which was released in last week, looks into one infamous criminal case which will unnerve you a lot as the documentary doles out those disturbing details of the case step by step. Although … Continue reading

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022) ☆☆☆(3/4): Cage goes wild again…
Nicholas Cage has been one of the most interesting actors working in Hollywood during last four decades, and there are good reasons for that. Sure, he appeared a bunch of bad films during several recent years just because of his … Continue reading
