Pizza Movie (2026) ☆☆☆(3/4): A wacky college stoner movie
“Pizza Movie”, which is currently available on Disney+ in South Korea, tries to be as wacky as possible, and it succeeds fairly well in my trivial opinion. Even when you are baffled by what exactly is happening in its three … Continue reading
Naked Lunch (1991) ☆☆☆(3/4): Welcome to Interzone
David Cronenberg’s 1991 film “Naked Lunch”, which happens to come to South Korean theaters shortly after the local theatrical release of Luca Guadagnino’s “Queer” (2024), tackles on an impossible task, and the result is alternatively interesting and baffling. Loosely based … Continue reading
Green Night (2023) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Her manic pixie girl
“Green Night” is a little murky noir film which works best whenever it focuses on the wild and compelling relationship between its two very different main characters. Although I found myself quite frustrated with several vague aspects of its plot, … Continue reading
Cocaine Bear (2023) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): This bear is pretty wild and high…
“Cocaine Bear” is as cheerfully silly and gory as you can expect from its very title. Outrageously developed from one amusing real-life incident, the movie goes all the way for gore and absurdity, and the resulting shocks and laughs are … Continue reading
Naked Singularity (2021) ☆☆(2/4): Tepid Singularity
“Naked Singularity”, which somehow crept into South Korean theaters in last week, is not as singular as whatever it wanted to be. The movie itself is not awful at all, but it is a tedious mess of half-baked ideas which … Continue reading
Babyteeth (2019) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Her imperfect romance
As a coming-of-age comedy drama film revolving around a sick young heroine and her unlikely lover, Australian movie “Babyteeth” is much more matured than expected. While it will surely remind you of other similar films such as “The Fault in … Continue reading

Project Power (2020) ☆☆(2/4): A flat genre piece without much power
Netflix film “Project Power” does not have much power and imagination to boost its supposedly intriguing story premise, and that is a big letdown to say the least. While initially beginning with considerable potentials, the movie eventually gets devolved into … Continue reading
Gringo (2018) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A black gringo in trouble
“Gringo” is supposed to be a wild and crazy crime comedy movie, but it somehow fails to give me enough laugh despite the game efforts from some of its main cast members. While it is not entirely a total dud, … Continue reading
Little Woods (2018) ☆☆☆(3/4): A tale of two desperate sisters
“Little Woods” is a melancholic tale of two women struggling with their increasingly desperate circumstance. While this is essentially your typical American independent film intended as a cold slice of life, the movie is a competent piece of work equipped … Continue reading
The Mule (2018) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): An old horticulturist who becomes a drug runner
Clint Eastwood’s latest film “The Mule” gave me a mixed impression. During its first half, it seems to want to be a low-key crime comedy drama about one unlikely drug runner, and there are several small amusing moments as it … Continue reading
