The Vietnamese-language science fiction children’s film, “Maika: Cô bé đến từ hành tinh khác (Maika: The Girl from Another Galaxy),” returned to the screen at the Seattle Asian American Film Festival (SAAFF) C-ID Summer Cinema Series at Hing Hay Park this month.

The first weekend in August saw two South Asian movies released on Netflix: “Wedding Season” and “Darlings.”

In Jo Koy’s “Easter Sunday,” released in theaters Aug. 5, a family gathers to celebrate this most sacred of Catholic holidays.

FYI, there are no staff on Tokyo’s bullet trains. So in case you need to kill, maim, yell really loud, walk around covered in blood, or the like, I highly recommend this as a location.

Most of us recall the news in 2018, and there has been at least one documentary, with more to come, of the day a Thai boys’ soccer team and their coach went into a cave and didn’t come out, and the extensive rescue efforts to save them before the cave flooded for the monsoon season.

With its 220-minute running time, you could fairly say that “Emergency Declaration,” the new film from South Korean writer and director Jae Rim-han, drags a bit. It lacks the biff-bang-pow dynamic central to the disaster film genre, although selected parts of it move with lighting ease.
