Top Secret! (1984) ☆☆☆(3/4): A silly but hilariously free-wheeling parody
Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, and Jerry Zucker’s 1984 film “Top Secret!”, which recently happens to be available on Netflix in South Korea along with a bunch of notable American films from the 1980s, remains as a fairly funny comedy movie. … Continue reading
Song Sung Blue (2025) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): The story of a singing couple
Craig Brewer’s latest film “Song Sung Blue” is a bit too conventional to my little disappointment. Probably because I am already familiar with its dramatic real-life story, the movie often felt to me like being no more than a merely … Continue reading
This Is Spinal Tap (1984) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Still endearingly outrageous and hilarious
Rob Reiner’s 1984 comedy film “This Is Spinal Tap” still amuses me a lot for many good reasons. While keeping its attitude as straight as possible via its ground-breaking mockumentary style, the movie has a lot of fun with many … Continue reading

Stop Making Sense (1984) ☆☆☆☆(4/4): It still rocks
Jonathan Demme’s 1984 concert film “Stop Making Sense”, whose recent 4K restoration version was released in South Korean theaters a few days ago, is quite an electrifying experience to say the least. While more than 40 years have passed since … Continue reading
Kneecap (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Meet Irish rappers
“Kneecap”, which was selected as the Irish entry to Best International Film Oscar in last year, is a typical rapper movie with some local flavor. While it has a substantial amount of irreverent wit and bouncy energy to hold our … Continue reading
Better Man (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): Robbie Williams presented as an ape (no kidding)
“Better Man” is another typical musician biography drama film with one notable difference. While it is surely filled with predictable ups and downs as illustrating the life and career of British musician Robbie Williams, the movie presents Williams as a … Continue reading
Elton John: Never Too Late (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Entering the last chapter of his career
Documentary film “Elton John: Never Too Late”, which was released on Disney+ a few months ago, works whenever it focuses on what may be the last chapter of Elton John’s life and career. After all, considering that he is about … Continue reading
A Complete Unknown (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): Still Unknown
As a human being, Bob Dylan is probably one of the most distant figures among the greatest American songwriters during the late 20th century. Sure, many of his songs have been remembered and admired for their timeless artistic qualities, but … Continue reading
