I have to agree with one previous reviewer: whoever gave this movie just 1 star clearly didn’t even watch it. ‘Cause, you know, you give one-star reviews to such crap as, I don’t know, Look Who’s Talking Too, Sausage Party or – to stay with recent releases – Cats or Extraction (aka Tyler Rake). You don’t give such god-awful ratings to a movie like this. … Continue reading Beasts That Cling to the Straw (2020)
Confidential Assignment is a very entertaining humorous action- thriller from South Korea. The story itself isn’t very original if you are familiar with classics such as Shiri but the movie’s execution is really gripping from start to finish. The actors do a convincing job, the action sequences are explosive and professional and the story has a tense and vivid pace with a few welcome amusing … Continue reading Confidential Assignment (2017)

Kang Ha-neul plays a 20-something student, Jin-seok, who, along with his big brother and their parents, move into a new house. He’s a hypersensitive guy, having nightmares and hearing strange sounds. One rainy night, his brother is … Continue reading Forgotten (2017)
This supernatural thriller is surely one of the best Korean indies from last year. It’s very dark, poetic, yet sometimes funny too, although the humour is mostly limited to the film’s first half. There is a relaxed atmosphere to the film’s first act, which is bathed in vivid, bright colors and followed by a quality soundtrack that matches the theme and setting. Here and there … Continue reading The Piper (2015)
“The Divine Move 2: The Wrathful” is flamboyant, preposterous and exaggerated, taking viewers on a wild ride.

But it manages to provide fun and action. The film starts … Continue reading The Divine Move 2: The Wrathful (2019)
