Challengers (2024) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Are they ready to serve?
Luca Guadagnino’s new film “Challengers” is quick, deft, and passionate in its every serve, and I like that a lot. Electrifyingly and humorously bouncing along one very complicated situation among its three main characters, the movie alternatively amuses and thrills … Continue reading

Iron Mask (2023) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): A kendo player under challenge
In my trivial opinion, there are not many things as intense, spectacular, and compelling to watch as a human mind under challenge, and little South Korean independent film “Iron Mask” is a terrific example of that. On the surface, it … Continue reading

It Ain’t Over (2022) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Inside Yogi Berra
To be frank with you, I only vaguely heard a bit about Yogi Berra once before watching documentary film “It Ain’t Over”. Berra was a legendary baseball player mostly known for his rather humorous quotes, and the documentary shows that … Continue reading
