The Bad Guys (2022) ☆☆☆(3/4): Can they possibly be…. good?
DreamWorks animation feature film “The Bad Guys” is fairly predictable in terms of story and characters, but I must admit that it made me chuckle more than once during my viewing. As the comic story about a bunch of criminal … Continue reading
December Spring (2021) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): At his father’s funeral
In my inconsequential opinion, South Korean film “December Spring” is a bit too generous to its rather unlikable hero. While it is often amusing to observe how awkward he looks under a very serious family situation during its first two … Continue reading

Army of Thieves (2021) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Fairly simple to crack
Netflix film “Army of the Thieves”, which was released a few weeks ago, is fairly simple to crack as a typical genre product. To be frank with you, this heist flick is so generic in many aspects that I could … Continue reading
Prisoners of the Ghostland (2021) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Cage in Sonoland
Sion Sono’s latest film “Prisoners of the Ghostland” looks like an ideal combination between two different figures who have respectively been known well for going wild and crazy in each own way. While Sono has surely impressed us with a … Continue reading
No Sudden Move (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): A solid twisty crime noir by Steven Soderbergh
Steven Soderbergh’s new film “No Sudden Move” is a dry but twisty crime noir film to be savored and appreciated for a number of good reasons. While its plot is surely as amusingly convoluted as you can expect from its … Continue reading
Akilla’s Escape (2020) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A cycle of violence he wants to escape
“Akilla’s Escape” frustrated me more than once during my viewing. The movie tries to explore the cycle of violence over generations via two connected stories, but it is glaringly deficient in terms of storytelling and characterization in addition to often … Continue reading
Wrath of Man (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): Gritty and remorseless to say the least
Guy Ritchie’s latest work “Wrath of Man” is gritty and remorseless to say the least. While this is surely your average revenge action flick about a taciturn tough guy with a particular set of skills, it is at least packaged … Continue reading
Cruella (2021) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): She is actually not that cruel…
“Cruella” is often uneven and schizophrenic in its mixed result. On one hand, it seems to aspire to be mean and nasty, and there are some deliciously vicious moments to be savored mainly thanks to the entertaining works from its … Continue reading
Hotel Artemis (2018) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A problematic evening at one exclusive hotel
“Hotel Artemis”, which I watched just for my inconsequential curiosity at last night, is a pretty familiar genre stuff for seasoned moviegoers like me. While I enjoyed its noirish mood and some solid performances from its engaging main cast members, … Continue reading
I Care a Lot (2020) ☆☆☆(3/4): Another deliciously devious turn by Rosamund Pike
The heroine of “I Care a Lot”, which is released in South Korean theaters on this Friday instead of being released on Netflix or Amazon Prime in several other countries including US, is a nasty piece of work. As an … Continue reading
