Our smartphones have become almost an extension of ourselves in today’s digital age, with people depending on their phones for so many of our daily tasks. This also means that our handsets hold a large number of our data, a lot of it highly sensitive, which in the wrong hands could prove rather harmful to us. For his debut directorial, Kim Tae-joon adapts the popular Japanese film “Stolen Identity”, itself based on a namesake novel, and brings Korean sensibilities to this real-world problem in Netflix’s newest Korean release “Unlocked”.

There’s something appealingly retro about MTV’s latest scripted offering—and not just because Finding Carter bears a striking resemblance to Caroline B. Cooney’s beloved 1990 novel The Face on the Milk Carton. (You may know it better as the inspiration for a TV movie that aired in 1995).
These days, shows for and about teenagers tend to fall into one of two categories: the Ryan Murphy-esque dramedy (high-energy, soaked with pop culture references, alternating wildly between irony and sincerity; see MTV’s own Faking It or Awkward. for examples), or the Gossip Girl-ian glitzy melodrama (think privileged...

If you're about to see a movie whose title is prefixed with the generic marker "Just Another," odds are it won't be "just another" anything except a strenuous exercise in subverting the tropes of said genre. This titular quirk may be just a function of rough translation, but Danish filmmaker Ole Bornedal (director of "Nightwatch" -- both the original and U.S. remake) lives up to his English title with "Just Another Love Story," a coolly modulated mistaken-identity amour fou bruised and bloodied all over by healthy run-ins with familiar noir and thriller additives.
