EMERGENCY DECLARATION (Bisang seoneon)

August 30, 2022 By Leave a Comment

EMERGENCY DECLARATION (Bisang seoneon)

EMERGNCY DECLARATION wants to take you on a hyper-roller coaster ride with an airborne tale of bio-terrorism, and it does. A worthy throwback to the disaster films of a generation or so ago, it is the perfect action film for the age of COVID, and a thrill-packed time that will wring every emotion out of… Read More »

BEAST

August 19, 2022 By Leave a Comment

BEAST

BEAST is a surprisingly heartwarming story about a rogue lion rampaging his way across the African savannah after poachers slaughter his pride.

PREY

August 4, 2022 By 1 Comment

PREY

It’s a darn shame that PREY will not be coming to a theater near you soon. It’s not just the wide shots of the gorgeous vistas to be found on the Canadian Great Plains that make this so very big-screen worthy. Nor is it the nifty effects that we’ve come to know and love with… Read More »

NOPE

July 22, 2022 By Leave a Comment

NOPE

NOPE is what OJ Haywood says when he sees something that does not sit well with him, be it what appear to be tiny visitors from another world invading his stable, or the offer to sell the family spread after a freak accident kills his father (David Keith). As played by Daniel Kaluuya, he is… Read More »

THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER

July 8, 2022 By 1 Comment

THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER

It’s not that THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER is unwatchable. Quite the contrary. The special effects are stupendously unrestrained. The story is adorable, leaning towards a good-natured spoof of superhero movies as practiced in the 2020s. The performances can’t be faulted, even if Christian Bale as the god-hating ex-acolyte out for revenge is far darker, and… Read More »

JURASSIC WORLD DOMINION

June 9, 2022 By Leave a Comment

JURASSIC WORLD DOMINION

At two hours and twenty-six minutes, JURASSIC WORLD DOMINION is as hefty as the ginormous terrestrial behemoths that feature prominently in it, and it is just as ungainly. It lumbers along using the intertia of its sheer mass to propel along a story that is as dedicated to calling out classics as it is to… Read More »

TOP GUN : MAVERICK

May 27, 2022 By Leave a Comment

TOP GUN : MAVERICK

I don’t know if TOP GUN:MAVERICK holds the record for the time elapsed between the original and the sequel, but if waiting over three decades results in a film as terrific as this, I hope filmmakers everywhere will at least consider taking their own sweet time when making sequels. This is an adrenalin-junkie’s fantasy, tightly… Read More »

DR. STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS

May 22, 2022 By Leave a Comment

DR. STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS

With DR. STRANGE IN THE MULITVERSE OF MADNESS, we are gifted with a thimbleful of plot in a vast expanse of cinematic ocean. This being yet another piece of the equally vast Marvel Universe, the story is obliged to take its hero, Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), from Point A to Point B in order to… Read More »

MEMORY

May 4, 2022 By Leave a Comment

MEMORY

Based on the delightfully quirky 2003 Belgian film, The Memory of a Killer, MEMORY has the makings of a solid neo-noir. Alas, rather than a tight script to match its excellent visual acuity, MEMORY rambles too much before leading us down the familiar path of corruption in high places and the loss of innocence across… Read More »

THE NORTHMAN

May 3, 2022 By Leave a Comment

THE NORTHMAN

Those familiar with HAMLET will find some familiar things in Robert Eggers’ THE NORTHMAN, and that is no coincidence. The source material for both is Sjón’s Gesta Danorum (circa 1200) about a prince with both mommy issues and a usurping uncle. Where Shakespeare adapted the story to his time creating an elegantly and eloquently melancholy… Read More »
