Transformers: The Last Knight (2017) ☆1/2(1.5/4): Another unbearable epic mess

Alien: Covenant (2017) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Same old monster horror

Shin Godzilla (2016) ☆☆☆(3/4): Cheesy but terrifying

Logan (2017) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Wolverine on gritty, elegiac mode
Besides being the best work in the X-men series, “Logan” is possibly the best superhero film since Christopher Nolan’s Batman Trilogy. While there are several top-notch action sequences in the film, story and characters always come first, and that is … Continue reading
The Lego Batman Movie (2017) ☆☆☆(3/4): Batman’s relationship matters
As I was watching “The Lego Batman Movie”, my mind often went back to when I watched “The Lego Movie” three years ago. I did not expect much when I watched its trailer, but then I heard some good words … Continue reading
Arrival (2016) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): When they arrive…..
Can we possibly communicate with aliens if they ever come to our planet? Can we and they really understand and emphasize with each other even if that were possible? “Arrival” begins with these familiar but undeniably fascinating questions which have … Continue reading
