Animation feature film “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish”, which is the sequel to “Puss in Boots” (2011), has a fair amount of fun and charm to justify its rather redundant existence. While its irreverent fairy tale world, which is … Continue reading
Three Thousand Years of Longing (2022) ☆☆☆(3/4): Can she make a wish?
George Miller’s latest film “Three Thousand Years of Longing” is a modest but haunting fantasy drama about life and storytelling. While it is relatively less ambitious and memorable compared to the greatness of his previous film “Mad Max: Fury Road” … Continue reading
Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical (2022) ☆☆☆(3/4): An enjoyable standard movie adaptation
“Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical”, which was released on Netflix on Christmas, is as cheerful and naughty as you can expect from the film adaptation of a popular stage musical based on one of the well-known works from Roald Dahl. … Continue reading
Gagarine (2020) ☆☆☆(3/4): His little fight against the demolition to come
French film “Gagarine” is a little but interesting drama which alternates between reality and fantasy as observing its plain young hero’s defiant stand against the change to come. Although its overall result is uneven at times, the movie compensates for … Continue reading

Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s latest film “Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths”, which was released on Netflix after being shown in South Korean theaters in last month, is a self-indulgent misfire which jumps high for greatness but only ends … Continue reading
Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Cameron back in Pandora
James Cameron’s new film “Avatar: The Way of Water” is another big stuff of entertainment you can expect from him. Although it may not be as envelope-pushing as many of his previous films such as its predecessor, it is certainly … Continue reading
