Still Walking (2008) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): The distance among them
Hirokazu Kore-eda’s 2008 film “Still Walking”, which was re-released in South Korean theaters a few days ago, still shines in its tranquil family drama which comes to show more human complexity than it seems at first. While its gentle mood … Continue reading
Final Destination Bloodlines (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): It runs in the family…
“Final Destination Bloodlines”, the latest sequel of the Final Destination series, is actually better than expected. Just like its several predecessors including “Final Destination” (2000), the movie surely and firmly sticks to its diabolical rule on how to eliminate its … Continue reading
Lilo & Stitch (2002) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Her alien pet
I somehow missed a chance to watch Disney animation feature film “Lilo & Stitch” when it came out in 2002, and now I deeply regret that after finally watching it at last night. While it looks rather modest in terms … Continue reading
Can We Get Married? (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Between his family and his girlfriend

The Iron Claw (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): It’s a tough family business…
What a tragically pathetic family the Von Erichs are. While they attained some fame and recognition in their sports field, whatever they achieved during that short period came with a lot of pain and misery, Sean Durkin’s latest film “The … Continue reading

Arcadian (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): In their arcadian post-apocalyptic world
“Arcadian” tries to tackle its very familiar genre territory, and I like its earnest attempt to some degree. Yes, the overall result is still basically another typical post-apocalyptic horror drama film which does not break any new ground in my … Continue reading

Presence (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): A presence in the house
Steven Soderbergh has tried many different things during last several years. Although he announced his decision to retire around the time when he gave us “Side Effects” (2013) and “Behind the Candelabra” (2013), he came back in business with little … Continue reading
I’m Still Here (2024) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): A family under the dictatorship in Brazil
Walter Salles’ latest film “I’m Still Here”, which recently won a Best International Film Oscar, calmly but powerfully observes a real-life personal struggle under the dictatorship period in Brazil during the early 1970s. While never overlooking the grim and horrific … Continue reading
The Royal Tenenbaums (2001) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Anderson’s early dollhouse play
Revisiting Wes Anderson’s 2001 film “The Royal Tenenbaums”, I was reminded again of how consistent Anderson has been during last several decades. While this movie and many subsequent works of his are basically his own little dollhouse plays, they are … Continue reading
