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

Sea Fever (2019) ☆☆☆(3/4): Quarantined in the middle of the ocean
I must say that it was a rather odd experience for me to watch “Sea Fever”, which happened to be released in South Korean theaters a few days ago. The movie, which was initially scheduled to be released in theaters … Continue reading
Spies in Disguise (2019) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Your average spy action comedy animation film
“Spies in Disguise” is your average spy action comedy animation film, and that is all. Although it is occasionally amusing as diligently throwing gags and jokes, the film does not feel particularly fresh while doing lots of predictable things inside … Continue reading
The Aeronauts (2019) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Jones and Redmayne up in the air
“The Aeronauts” is a mildly entertaining film which could be more effective if it focused more on its two different main characters’ risky adventure in the air. Although it surely works whenever it goes up and up along with them, … Continue reading
Jane (2017) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): A vivid, riveting presentation of Jane Goodall’s life and work
Documentary film “Jane”, which was recently shown at the EBS International Documentary Film Festival during last week, gave me an experience both enlightening and enthralling. While I certainly came to learn a lot more about the life and work of … Continue reading
Experimenter (2015) ☆☆☆(3/4): A thought-provoking examination on human nature

San Andreas (2015) ☆☆1/2 (2.5/4) : Earth trembles – but the Rock abides
Earth trembles, cities are destroyed, and various characters struggle to survive in front of a catastrophe about to swallow them all – and I have seen such sights like them many times before. This does not always mean a bad … Continue reading

Big Hero 6 (2014) ☆☆☆(3/4) : Isn’t it huggable?
While it lacks novelty because of those ubiquitous superhero blockbuster films during recent years, Disney animation feature film “Big Hero 6” has enough style and substance to distinguish itself from other superhero films. While it is basically a familiar … Continue reading
The Theory of Everything (2014) ☆☆☆(3/4): The Theory of Love, so to speak.
