Knives Out (2019) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): A deliciously entertaining whodunnit
Rian Johnson’s latest film “Knives Out” is a deliciously entertaining whodunnit which will delight any devoted fan of mystery novels like me. While I could see through its wily, dexterous handling of plot elements at time, I was really caught … Continue reading
Knife+Heart (2018) ☆☆☆(3/4): Who’s killing her gay porn actors?
French film “Knife+Heart” is a cheerfully gaudy and goofy mix of cheap gay porn flicks and campy giallo horror movies of the 1970s. Although it is a bit shame that the movie does not try to be something more than … Continue reading

Crooked House (2017) ☆☆(2/4): A pedestrian Agatha Christie mystery flick
Watching “Crooked House” is one of the most joyless movie experiences I have ever had during recent years. Thoroughly flat and tedious in terms of storytelling and characterization, the movie bored me from the beginning to the end, so I … Continue reading
Long Day’s Journey Into Night (2018) ☆☆☆(3/4): Confusion amid dreams and memories
Chinese film “Long Day’s Journey Into Night”, which is not associated at all with Eugene O’Neill’s classic play of the same name (Its original title is “Last Day on Earth”, by the way), is often frustrating and confusing for good … Continue reading
Dilili in Paris (2018) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A little mystery in Paris the Belle Époque
I was ready to enjoy French animation feature film “Dilili in Paris”, but it did not satisfy me enough. Sure, the film provides a number of lovely visual moments to be appreciated, and I was amused by the frequent appearance … Continue reading
