Zootopia (2016) ☆☆☆(3/4) : A rookie bunny officer’s first case
While it is somehow released earlier outside US, new Disney digital animation feature film “Zootopia” is better than I expected. It is colorful and spunky with its amusing variation of buddy cop movie conventions, and there are enough funny, exciting … Continue reading
Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) ☆☆☆(3/4): The Force is brought back in action
“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” attempts to bring the Force back in action, and it did a mostly successful job with its entertaining mix of old and good things. While it does not reach to the groundbreaking level of the … Continue reading
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 (2015) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): So it ends here
So it ends here. After the intermission of one year, we finally get “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2”, which starts right from the point where the first part was over. While the end of the war is indeed … Continue reading
The Lobster (2015) ☆☆☆(3/4) : To be or not to be a lobster
“The Lobster”, which received the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival early in this year, is another dark, weird, and ruthless comedy from Greek filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos, who previously struck us with his offbeat black comedy film “Dogtooth” (2009). … Continue reading
The Martian (2015) ☆☆☆1/2 (3.5/4): Stranded Alone on Mars
Even though we have learned a lot about Mars since the Viking 1 lander touched down on its surface in 1976, our red neighbor planet still remains as intriguing and mysterious as many other distant places in our solar system … Continue reading
Turbo Kid (2015) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4) : Not for your kids, certainly
“Turbo Kid” is a junk food packed with cheesy and hammy elements while cheerfully drenched in a nasty hot sauce of violence. It is goofy and amusing at times, but the movie eventually feels more like an expired one-note joke … Continue reading
Maze Runner: the Scorch Trials (2015) ☆☆(2/4) : No maze in this time
“Maze Runner: the Scorch Trials” is the middling second chapter of the trilogy which merely promises the next sequel when it is finally over. While its predecessor showed some potentials with an interesting premise despite its flaws, the movie bores … Continue reading
Ant-Man (2015) ☆☆☆(3/4) : Let’s get small!
Here is a good news for you. Although it did have some problems during its pre-production stage, “Ant-Man”, another new superhero film from Marvel Comics, is equipped with enough wit and personality to distinguish itself amidst a myriad of superhero … Continue reading
Jurassic World (2015) ☆☆1/2 (2.5/4): Dinosaurs are back again…..
Understandably lacking the awe and wonder of “Jurassic Park” (1993), “Jurassic World” is a well-made blockbuster ride with many dinosaurs to watch. While the advance of digital special effects during last 22 years makes the dinosaurs roaming on the screen … Continue reading
Tomorrowland (2015) ☆☆1/2 (2.5/4) : Ambitious, charming, but ultimately flawed
“Tommorowland” can be admired for what it tries hard to reach for. While being an overcrowding mix of a wondrous fantasy tale, intriguing science fiction ideas, and exciting action scenes, the movie is also equipped with innocent charm and earnest … Continue reading
