Godzilla Minus One (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): One of the better Godzilla flicks
Japanese film “Godzilla Minus One”, which was belatedly released on Netflix a few days ago in South Korea, is one of the better Godzilla flicks I saw during last 30 years. While you surely get as much as you can … Continue reading

George Miller’s latest film “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga”, which a prequel to “Mad Max: Fury Road” (2015), is another entertaining entry in its memorable series which was started 45 years ago. Although it does not surpass the greatness of … Continue reading
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): Another story begins…
The recent three movies from the Planet of the Apes franchise were remarkable for a number of good reasons. Besides the first-rate special effects which vividly presented a bunch of various ape characters on the screen, these movies made us … Continue reading
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Now they will fighter together…
When I was about to watch “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire”, my physical condition was rather exhausted, and I sincerely hoped that I could be energized by whatever it would serve me during the next two hours. Unfortunately, the … Continue reading
Spaceman (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Sandler and a Spider
I admire how Adam Sandler has developed his potential as a performer during last three decades. While his entire career has been riddled with a heap of disposable comedy films such as “The Waterboy” (1998) and “Jack and Jill” (2011), … Continue reading
Dune: Part 2 (2024) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): …and a prophecy is fulfilled
Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune: Part 2” gives us much of what its predecessor promised to us a few years ago. Yes, his previous film “Dune” felt to me like an exercise rather than an entertainment, but I still admired many of … 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
Robot Dreams (2023) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): A dog and one robot
Animation feature film “Robot Dreams”, which recently got nominated for Best Animation Film Oscar, is sweet and touching with its charming style and heartfelt storytelling. While drawing your attention for its colorful background at first, the movie simply follows its … Continue reading
The Kitchen (2023) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): The Boy Who Follows Him
Netflix film “The Kitchen”, which was released in last week, takes some time for building its shabby dystopian world, and I admire that to some degree. Although it often feels like a warm-up for whatever will come next from its … Continue reading
Alienoid: The Return to the Future (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): An obligatory finale
South Korean film “Alienoid: The Return to the Future” is not as boring as I feared, and that is the only consolation for me. Thanks to the sprawling narrative of “Alienoid” (2021), the movie has lots of things to gather … Continue reading
