My Father’s Dragon (2022) ☆☆☆(3/4): Another charming animation film from Carton Saloon
Netflix animation feature film “My Father’s Dragon”, which was released a few days ago, is another charming work from Carton Saloon, an Irish film production company which gave us a series of stellar Oscar-nominated animation films including “The Secret of … Continue reading
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022) ☆☆☆ (3/4): The ladies carry on
We can only imagine what would follow “Black Panther” (2018) if Chadwick Boseman had not died so early, but I am happy to report that its sequel “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” is much more than a mere next chapter. Although … Continue reading
Wendell & Wild (2022) ☆☆☆(3/4): Henry Selick’s new stop-motion animation film
Animation feature film “Wendell & Wild”, which was released on Netflix a few weeks ago, deserves to be welcomed for a number of good reasons. Henry Selick, who gave us “The Nightmare Before Christmas” (1993) and “James and the Giant … Continue reading
Black Adam (2022) ☆☆(2/4): Dwayne Johnson is just being there…
I still remember how inconsequential Dwayne Johnson’s brief appearance in “The Mummy Returns” (2001) was. While the trailer emphasized this hulking star wrestler’s participation in the film to considerable degree, whatever he did for the film did not amount to … Continue reading
Drifting Home (2022) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A drifting apartment building
Japanese animation feature film “Drifting Home”, which was released on Netflix a few days ago, begins with an intriguing story idea to hold your attention for a while, but it only comes to disappoint us due to several flaws in … Continue reading
Alienoid (2022) ☆☆(2/4): A bland and bloated teaser for whatever will come next
South Korean film “Alienoid”, which is actually the first half preceding the second half which will come in next year, is bland and bloated to say the least. Although I watched the film during last evening, I cannot recall any … Continue reading
The Sea Beast (2022) ☆☆☆(3/4): How to Befriend Your Sea Beast
Netflix animation film “The Sea Beast” sometimes takes its time as paying some attention to its rich details and backgrounds, and I like that. While it is rather familiar in terms of story and characters, the film entertains us via … Continue reading
Thor: Love and Thunder (2022) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Man, Woman, and Metal
“Thor: Love and Thunder”, the latest offering from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), does not surprise or impress me enough. While there are a number of inspired comic moments, the movie still feels like a passable mixed bag on the … Continue reading
Baahubali: The Beginning (2015) ☆☆☆(3/4): A fairly competent first half
Indian film “Baahubali: The Beginning” is amusingly grandiose and exaggerated to say the least. While its story and characters are quite serious, the movie willingly goes for anything to entertain or amuse us, and its many broad moments ranging from … Continue reading
Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Michelle Yeoh in the Madness of the Multiverse
“Everything Everywhere All at Once” is definitely one of the most wildly imaginative films of this year. While its story premise involved with multiple alternative universes is not exactly new to many of us due to several recent films such … Continue reading
