- RT @djuna01: 비중있는 미국인 배우가 거의 안 나오는 영화지요. 대부분 영국인, 멕시코인, 덴마크인. 하지만 데이지 리들리만 영국 억양을 쓰는 거 같아요. 5 hours ago
- RT @djuna01: 주인공 애는 이 행성에 사는 인간 비슷한 토착 동물이 여자들을 모두 죽였다고 믿고 있어요. 하지만 주인공이 모르는 비밀이 있지요. 여기서 궁금해지는 거죠. 모든 사람들의 마음이 읽히는 동네에서 그 비밀이 어떻게 감추어질 수 있… 6 hours ago

We Can Be Heroes (2020) ☆☆☆(3/4): They are surely heroes
Netflix film “We Can Be Heroes”, which was released on this Christmas, often tickled and entertained me more than I expected. While this is basically a kiddie version of “The Avengers” (2012), it did a better job of juggling various … Continue reading
Wonder Woman 1984 (2020) ☆☆☆(3/4): She is back – with less wonder and excitement
To be frank with you, it feels like a long time ago when I and many other audiences were looking forward to watching “Wonder Woman 1984” early in this year. The movie was supposed to be released around the world … Continue reading
Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Spider-Man goes to Europe
“Spider-Man: Far From Home”, the first Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) flick coming out after “Avengers: Endgame” (2019), is mildly disappointing without enough excitement or imagination to engage us. Although it is fairly enjoyable in its mostly lightweight tone just like … Continue reading
Avengers: Endgame (2019) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): This is the end (for now)
My mind often went stray as I was watching “Avengers: Endgame” at last night. While it is undeniably a big, ambitious finale for what has been steadily developed via more than 20 films during last 11 years, the movie still … Continue reading
Glass (2019) ☆☆1/2 (2.5/4): A decidedly lukewarm superhero movie
“Glass”, which is supposed to be the concluding chapter for director/writer M. Night Shyamalan’s “Unbreakable” (2000) and “Split” (2016), is a decidedly lukewarm superhero movie which is fascinating enough to talk about but is not good enough to recommend. Although … Continue reading
Shazam! (2019) ☆☆☆(3/4): A goofy lightweight superhero movie
“Shazam!”, the latest installment from the DC Extended Universe (DCEU), is a lightweight superhero movie as funny and goofy as expected from its silly promise, and that is surely a nice fresh change compared to the grim ponderousness of “Batman … Continue reading
Captain Marvel (2019) ☆☆☆(3/4): Meet Captain Marvel
“Captain Marvel”, the latest addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), is alternatively familiar and refreshing. Although it is your typical superhero origin story, there are a number of nice changes and variations for distinguishing itself from many other recent … Continue reading
Aquaman (2018) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Aquaman Cometh
If “Aquaman” came 10 years ago, I would probably be more generous to it. Sure, it has several spectacular sequences to be enjoyed on a big screen, and it has more sense of fun and humor compared to that solemn … Continue reading
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) ☆☆☆1/2 (3.5/4): More than just one Spider-Man
To be frank with you, I did not have much expectation on Sony animation feature film “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse”. Besides Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy in the 2000s, there were “The Amazing Spider-Man” (2012) and its 2014 sequel, and then … Continue reading
Teen Titans Go! To the Movies (2018) ☆☆☆(3/4): Teen Titans go to Hollywood
To be frank with you, I do not know much about TV animation series “Teen Titans Go!” except that it is based on the DC Comics superhero team of the same name, but I can surely tell you that its … Continue reading
