Ultraman Rising (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): Bringing up baby
Netflix animation film “Ultraman Rising”, which was released a few weeks ago, is as silly and serious as it can be. Based on a famous Japanese superhero franchise, the film tries a cheerful mix of comedy, action, and drama, and … Continue reading

Godzilla Minus One (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): One of the better Godzilla flicks
Japanese film “Godzilla Minus One”, which was belatedly released on Netflix a few days ago in South Korea, is one of the better Godzilla flicks I saw during last 30 years. While you surely get as much as you can … Continue reading
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Now they will fighter together…
When I was about to watch “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire”, my physical condition was rather exhausted, and I sincerely hoped that I could be energized by whatever it would serve me during the next two hours. Unfortunately, the … Continue reading
The Boogeyman (2023) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Be afraid of darkness…
“The Boogeyman” did not scare or impress me much. I must confess that I was often afraid of sleeping in my dark bedroom at night when I was a little young boy, but the movie failed to touch upon my … 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
Godzilla vs. Kong (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): The Clash of Titans
“Godzilla vs. Kong” overwhelmed me more than once, and I sort of admired that. Like its predecessor “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” (2019), the movie relentlessly flaunts excessiveness and outrageousness from the beginning to the end, and I finally came … Continue reading
Love and Monsters (2020) ☆☆☆(3/4): Reaching for love across a post-apocalyptic world
“Love and Monsters” is a likable post-apocalyptic movie which often amuses or terrifies us as expected. Although it is more or less than a mere combination of several different genre pieces ranging from “Monsters” (2010) to “Zombieland” (2009), the movie … Continue reading
Underwater (2020) ☆☆☆(3/4): Deep down in a trench
“Underwater” digs into its genre territory as much as intended, and I was entertained enough during my viewing even while recognizing its weak elements. Although it stumbles a bit during the last act which may feel rather preposterous to you … Continue reading
Sea Fever (2019) ☆☆☆(3/4): Quarantined in the middle of the ocean
I must say that it was a rather odd experience for me to watch “Sea Fever”, which happened to be released in South Korean theaters a few days ago. The movie, which was initially scheduled to be released in theaters … Continue reading
Cat People (1942) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Beware, she may scratch
“Cat People” is a little classic B-horror film which creeps us out as demonstrating well the value of our fear and dread on whatever is lurking there in darkness. Although we do not see much of what scares its main … Continue reading
