Project Hail Mary (2026) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Now it’s up to him – and his alien friend
“Project Hail Mary” is an entertaining science fiction packed with enough wit, style, and drama to engage us during its rather long running time (156 minutes). While it is not as ambitious as Christopher Nolan’s “Interstellar” (2014), it still works … Continue reading

Temple Grandin (2010) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Different, Not Less
I have a personal soft spot for Mick Jackson’s 2010 HBO TV movie “Temple Grandin”, a deeply empathic drama about the remarkable life and career of Dr. Temple Grandin. Despite being on the autistic spectrum, Dr. Grandin became a respectable … Continue reading
Twisters (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): There will come more tornadoes, you know
Lee Isaac Chung’s new film “Twisters” serves us as much as expected, and it did a fairly good job on the whole. While not going that far from the story formula established in its predecessor “Twister” (1996), the movie provides … Continue reading
The Fire Within: A Requiem for Katia and Maurice Krafft (2022) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Herzog’s tribute to the Kraffts
Werner Herzog’s documentary film “The Fire Within: A Requiem for Katia and Maurice Krafft” is another prime example showing how Herzog has always been fascinated with a certain type of human figures. Many of his movies and documentaries are about … Continue reading
Poor Things (2023) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): The odd adventure of one wild creature
Yorgos Lanthimos’ latest film “Poor Things” is another idiosyncratic fun to be savored. While it is as darkly absurd as his recent films such as “The Lobster” (2015) and “The Killing of a Sacred Deer” (2017), it is also as … Continue reading
Oppenheimer (2023) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): American Prometheus
Christopher Nolan’s latest film “Oppenheimer”, which was finally released in South Korean yesterday, is overwhelming to say the least. If you do not have much knowledge about its real-life hero’s life and career, you may get confused more than once … Continue reading

Fathom (2021) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Two scientific researches on whale sounds
Documentary film “Fathom”, which is available on Apple TV+ at present, alternates between two different researches on the sounds of humpback whales, but it somehow only ends up merely scratching the surface in both cases. Probably because both of these … Continue reading
Good Night Oppy (2022) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Two rovers on Mars
Documentary film “Good Night Oppy”, which is currently available on Amazon Prime, is gives us a close and intimate look into one remarkable space mission which came to last a lot longer than expected. When NASA sent two rovers to … Continue reading

The Midnight Sky (2020) ☆☆(2/4): An SF film without much wonder and pizazz
Netflix film “The Midnight Sky”, which was released in theaters in here and US a few weeks ago and then is released on Netflix today, is a disappointment without much wonder and pizazz. While it starts with an interesting story … Continue reading
Radioactive (2019) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A scattershot biopic on Marie Curie’s life and career
I remember well when I came to learn about the life and career of Marie Curie from a little biography book for children around 30 years ago. Although life was pretty hard and difficult for her because of a number … Continue reading
