Minions & Monsters (2026) ☆☆☆(3/4): Minions go to Hollywood
Animation film “Minions & Monsters” is the first Minions flick I can wholeheartedly embrace without any shame or regret. Yes, these Minions are still a bunch of silly and wacky creatures which may annoy you a lot at times, but … Continue reading

The Bride! (2026) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): This bride is wild!
Maggie Gyllenhaal’s latest film “The Bride!” is a wild mess which alternatively fascinates and distracts you. Loosely inspired by Mary Shelley’s 1818 classic novel “Frankenstein”, the movie attempts to try a lot of different things ranging from horror to musical, … Continue reading
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
