The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A middling WWII action flick
Guy Ritchie’s latest film “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare” is a middling copy of many similar World War II actions flicks ranging from “The Dirty Dozen” (1967) to “Inglourious Basterds” (2009). While it surely attempts to have some fun as … Continue reading

Causeway (2022) ☆☆☆(3/4): A modest character drama starring Jennifer Lawrence
“Causeway”, which was released on Apple TV+ early in this month, is a modest character drama which will engage and then touch you a bit more than expected. Although it is quite familiar in terms of story and characters, the … Continue reading
All Quiet on the Western Front (2022) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): All Grim and Intense Here
Netflix film “All Quiet on the Western Front”, which was recently selected as Germany’s submission for Best International Film Oscar, is relentlessly grim, muddy, and intense throughout its 147-minute running time. I surely understand that this is not supposed to … Continue reading
Zeros and Ones (2021) ☆☆(2/4): A murky and rambling work by Abel Ferrara

Black Crab (2022) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A risk mission on the ice
