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
The Monster (2016) ☆☆☆(3/4) : Mother and daughter menaced by a monster
“The Monster”, which will belatedly be released in South Korea during this month, is a little independent horror film which works better than expected despite its rather thin premise and limited background. While it surely has a freakish creature as … Continue reading
Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Clash of the Monsters
Watching “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” is akin to going to a smorgasbord full of goodies to be devoured. Willingly going all the way for excessive visual moments of monstrous grandeur, the movie seldom bores its target audiences during its … Continue reading
Pacific Rim: Uprising (2018) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): More Jaegers – and more Kaijus
“Pacific Rim: Uprising” is as good as you can expect from a conventional but serviceable blockbuster product. While it is not as ambitious or spirited as its predecessor, the movie provides enough amount of action to entertain you, and I … Continue reading
The Shape of Water (2017) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Mute beauty and the water beast
“The Shape of Water”, the latest film from Guillermo del Toro, is a haunting mix of fairy tale and love story with a bit of social commentary. While it does not entirely succeed in mixing its many different story elements … Continue reading
