Strawberry Mansion (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): A dreamland to be audited
It is difficult to describe what I saw from “Strawberry Mansion”, which is probably one of the quirkiest works I have ever seen during several recent years. Essentially a series of offbeat moments developed from its simple story setting, the … Continue reading
BigBug (2022) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Another whimsical work from Jean-Pierre Jeunet
A few days ago, I was rather amused to see that many people remember Sam Raimi for a number of recent horror flicks produced by him instead of the Evil Dead trilogy or “Drag Me to Hell” (2009), and now … Continue reading
The Matrix Resurrection (2021) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): The Matrix Rehashed
“The Matrix Resurrection” is more or less than a rehashed product mixed with some self-conscious stuffs to amuse any fan of the previous trilogy for a while. Although it is engaging and ambitious to some degree thanks to several intriguing … Continue reading
Swan Song (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): A somber SF chamber drama about life and death
“Swan Song”, which was released on Apple+ two days ago, is a somber SF chamber drama revolving around one complex human matter of life and death. As calmly and earnestly following its ordinary hero’s emotional struggle involved with making an … Continue reading
Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): An entertaining IP mix with some heart
“Spider-Man: No Way Home” is a mostly entertaining Intellectual Property (IP) mix which actually made me care a little more than expected. While it is still considerably (and frustratingly) connected with Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) just like its two predecessors, … Continue reading
The Prayer (2020) ☆☆☆(3/4): A little robot morality play
South Korean film “The Prayer”, which is actually the theatrical version of one episode of South Korean TV anthology drama series “SF8”, is a simple but thought-provoking SF morality play which examines one familiar but undeniably impossible moral dilemma via … Continue reading
Finch (2021) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Man, Dog, and Robot
“Finch”, which was released on Apple TV+ in last week, has some good elements to engage us but does not bring enough freshness or creativity to its familiar genre territories. As your typical post-apocalyptic tale, it surely has all the … Continue reading

Ron’s Gone Wrong (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): His little malfunctioning friend
Animation feature film “Ron’s Gone Wrong” may aim low from the beginning, but it is more entertaining than expected. Although many of its components are familiar to the core, it fairly works well as cheerfully swaying back and forth between … Continue reading

Prisoners of the Ghostland (2021) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Cage in Sonoland
Sion Sono’s latest film “Prisoners of the Ghostland” looks like an ideal combination between two different figures who have respectively been known well for going wild and crazy in each own way. While Sono has surely impressed us with a … Continue reading
Dune (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): A prophecy is unfolded…
Denis Villeneuve’s latest film “Dune”, which is based on the first half of Frank Herbert’s 1965 science fiction novel, sometimes felt like a sweat to me. While the movie kept me impressed or mesmerized thanks to its sheer visual power … Continue reading
