Enola Holmes 3 (2026) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A problem before her wedding
Netflix film “Enola Holmes 3”, which was released a few days ago, has less fun and excitement compared to its two predecessors to my little dissatisfaction. While it is supported mostly well by the plucky presence of its lead actress … Continue reading
The Sheep Detectives (2026) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): A woolly mystery
“The Sheep Detectives” has much more charm and wit than its rather silly title suggests, and I was accordingly entertained a lot during my viewing. As a comic mystery tale mixed with some familiar elements from Agatha Christie as well … Continue reading
The Nonsense (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): Can she believe?
South Korean independent film “The Nonsense” is a little but effective mix between character drama and psychological thriller which will often unnerve you with its disturbingly ambiguous moments. Even in the end, you may not be entirely sure about everything … Continue reading
Abroad (2023) ☆1/2(1.5/4): The vanishing in the middle of nowhere
2023 film “Abroad”, which was released in South Korean theaters in last year without getting noticed much by me and other local audiences, is one of the most disappointing genre exercises I have ever watched during last several years. At … Continue reading
Another Simple Favor (2025) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A less charming sequel
“Another Simple Favor”, which was released on Amazon Prime several months ago, mildly dissatisfied me. While it is still fun to watch its two engaging lead actresses pushing and pulling each other from the beginning to the end, the movie … Continue reading
Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): A new priest comes to the town…
Rian Johnson’s latest film “Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery”, which was released on Netflix on last Friday, is another compelling mystery story to watch. Just like its predecessors, the movie throws an interesting murder case and then … Continue reading
Zootopia 2 (2025) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): More animals, more worlds (and I like it more)
Disney animation feature film “Zootopia 2” has more animals and worlds to present, and I like it more. While it will still take some time for you to accept its rather shaky background premise, the film fills its animal fantasy … Continue reading
The Woman in the White Car (2022) ☆☆☆(3/4): A little chilly female mystery thriller
South Korean film “The Woman in the White Car” is a little female mystery thriller with chilly sensitivity to be savored. While you may easily guess what it is about right from the very beginning, the movie will gradually engage … Continue reading
Seven (1995) ☆☆☆1/2 (3.5/4): A gruesome masterwork by David Fincher
David Fincher’s 1995 film “Seven”, whose 4K remastered version is currently shown in selected theaters in South Korea, is a gruesome but undeniably compelling thriller to admire and appreciate. While it is surely as grim, unpleasant, and disturbing as your … Continue reading
The Ugly (2025) ☆☆(2/4): That face, that face, that face…
South Korean film “The Ugly” is willing to explorer the very, very, very ugly sides of the South Korean society during the 1970s, and I appreciate that to some degree even though I am not that sure about whether it … Continue reading
