JUNG_E is a Korean science fiction flick (on Netflix) that borrows heavily from better movies. It is, itself, a decent enough movie with a promising emotional core but with dodgy visual effects and only ok action. Nothing particularly remarkable about … Continue reading
Missing is an in-universe sequel to the John Cho-starring Searching from 2018. Both are “screen life” films – both told through the use of various screens the main character uses. I thought Searching was good… I think Missing is better. … Continue reading
