Hi-Five (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): A lively South Korean superhero film
South Korean film “Hi-Five” have some silly but cheerful fun with its colorful genre elements, and I enjoyed that more than expected. While this is another familiar superhero origin tale, the movie is funny and spirited with a lot of … Continue reading
Lilo & Stitch (2025) ☆☆1/2 (2.5/4): likable but unnecessary
“Lilo & Stitch”, the live action movie version of the 2002 Disney animation feature film, is a likable product packed with enough charm and spirit, but I also somehow found it rather unnecessary. This is probably because I belatedly watched … Continue reading
Mr. Robot (2025) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A modest SF animation film from South Korea
If it had come out around, say, 20 years ago, I might have been more generous to South Korean animation feature film “Mr. Robot”, which should not be confused with that popular American TV drama series of the same name. … Continue reading
Akira (1988) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): A chaotically striking Japanese animation film
I must confess that I scratched my head more than once when I watched Katsuhiro Otomo’s 1988 animation feature film “Akira” for the first time in 2010, which happens to be released in South Korean theaters yesterday. Yes, this is … Continue reading
Megalopolis (2024) ☆1/2(1.5/4): Coppola’s disastrous folly
Francis Ford Coppola’s comeback work “Megalopolis” frustrated and baffled me a lot more than once. Here is a legendary filmmaker reaching for another chance for greatness, but the result only shows that he merely wasted a lot of the talents … Continue reading
Mickey 17 (2025) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): More than one Pattinson presented by Bong Joon-ho
Bong Joo-ho’s films always have his own offbeat sensibility to be cherished. Even his phenomenal Oscar-winning film “Parasite” (2019), which is incidentally the most mainstream work in his career, shows that odd and interesting quality at times behind its almost … Continue reading
The Animal Kingdom (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): When people are turning into animals
French film “The Animal Kingdom” is a modest but intriguing SF drama with enough style and substance to interest and then engage us. Although it is rather a bit too vague about its story premise, the movie stays focused on … Continue reading
The Beast (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): Her anxiety across the time
Bertrand Bonello’s latest film “The Beast” is an odd but intriguing work mainly driven by a growing sense of anxiety surrounding its multiple narratives. In each narrative, the heroine cannot help but become more nervous over whether something terrible may … Continue reading
The Tenants (2023) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): His problematic tenants
South Korean independent film “The Tenants” tries to be a quirky mix of SF, comedy, and a bit of horror. The overall result is amusing as sort of a satiric allegory on the current economic struggle of many people out … Continue reading
Venom: The Last Dance (2024) ☆☆(2/4): Until death does them apart
“Venom: The Last Dance”, what is supposed to be the last chapter of the trilogy started with “Venom” (2018), is a schizophrenic mess which fails to mix well its goofy parts with more serious plot elements. While it is occasionally … Continue reading
