David (2025) communicates visually in a manner less typical of a cartoon and more akin to a hymn. The film, which is the animated fantasy epic of the young King David’s life, is quite respectful and made with a lot of heartfelt sincerity. For sure, as a minister, I was touched by it on a…
It’s kinda old-fashioned good to go back and live again in Bikini Bottom. Search for SquarePants looks like a nice reminder to the world that happiness doesn’t have to be complex – sometimes it is just silly laughter, loyal friendships and seeing the world through the eyes of a child. I kept thinking of the…
Is This Thing On? is a sweet and sad, very understated comedy-drama that touches on the issues of middle life reflection, burnout at work, and the desire to find again the meaning when life becomes empty. It is a story of a man who is caught between making fun of his situation in front of…
The Housemaid is a descent into the protagonist’s mind, into her psychological abyss. The movie is a kind of silent evil investigation, evil being the one which always hides behind a person’s smiling face and the fact that the door is firmly shut. While watching, I was constantly reminded of the Lord’s words in John…
Fire and Ash doesn’t differ from other Avatar movies; it’s like visiting a bright and magnificent nature cathedral built of forests, lakes, and starry sky.

Nothing is quite like the Christmas music that comes through the old streets and candlelit halls — it has a way of pulling the heart to worship.

Eastern Western is very much like a road movie, but for the soul. It is a slow, calm but firm trip of family, identity, and reconciliation through both the vast landscapes and the metaphorical narrow hearts. Basically, the plot was about families that are separated by culture and morals, and hence, characters in the film…
Little Trouble Girls is a quietly intense small-scale drama that leaves you uneasy and tells a story of fractured relationships, the revolt of youth, and the misery of growing up in a fragile world. It narrates the emotional breakdown, very relatable to the experience of the young girls, coming from the disintegration of their families…
Lone Samurai is a story told with very few words, but it conveys the concept of the solitary life, honor, and revenge from the perspective of the old warrior code of Japan quite powerfully. The story is about a samurai without a home who is a bit sorry for himself and, out of obligation, takes…
Dust Bunny initially moves very quietly, like a whisper, and then very gradually changes into a deeply disturbing psychological thriller. In essence, it depicts the very common theme of secrets kept under the standard lifestyles of dark choices concealed under well-cleaned floors and faces that are smiling. Yet, in my capacity as a pastor, I…
