The World of Love (2025) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): How she is

Linda Linda Linda (2005) ☆☆☆(3/4): Their little high school performance
2005 Japanese film “Linda Linda Linda”, which was re-released in South Korean theaters a few days ago, is a conventional but undeniably likable mix of drama, comedy, and music. Right from the beginning, we get a pretty good idea about … Continue reading

Final Destination (2000) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Destined to die horribly
To be frank with you, I have somehow avoided watching “Final Destination” and its several sequels during last 25 years. Even when the movie came out in 2000, the movie did not interest me much because it looked like another … Continue reading

Idiot Girls and School Ghost: School Anniversary (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): A cheerful (and spooky) high school horror comedy film
I could not help but get tickled more than once while watching South Korean film “Idiot Girls and School Ghost: School Anniversary”, which is as ridiculously funny as its rather long title suggests. Clearly influenced by not only “Whispering Corridors” … Continue reading
