Jurassic World (2015) ☆☆1/2 (2.5/4): Dinosaurs are back again…..

The Babadook (2014) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4) : Be careful of what you read

Pacific Rim (2013) ☆☆☆(3/4) : Jaegers Vs. Kaijus
“Pacific Rim” is big, loud, and, above all, exciting and interesting. There are lots of crashes and bangs as those huge CGI creatures clashing with each other on the big screen, but this is not one of those bland, bloated … Continue reading
A Werewolf Boy (2012) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4) : A Girl and her pet werewolf
South Korean movie “A Werewolf Boy” is an old-fashioned romance story featuring a young girl and her loyal werewolf boy. I know many of you are already thinking about those CGI wolves in Twilight movies, but, luckily for us, the … Continue reading
The Cabin in the Woods (2011) ☆☆☆(3/4): It’s not your typical cabin in horror movie
For enjoying “The Cabin in the Woods” as much as possible, I advise you to keep yourself away from any information about it before watching it. Although one main surprise in its premise is easily guessed from the beginning, there … Continue reading
The Thing (2011) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4) : Same situation, same freak show
I am curious about the alien creature in “The Thing”(2011). I do not know whether it has intelligence or not, but its ability to imitate any organism it absorbs is marvelous enough to induce a serious discussion about its exceptional … Continue reading
