The Gentlemen (2024)
Hilarious, Intelligent, Fun
This is a winner by Guy Richie. If you liked Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch, you will absolutely enjoy The Gentlemen. The clever writing keeps you on your toes with Guy Ritchie's signature rapid pace and sharp wit. It is funny, clever, gritty, funny, intelligent, entertaining, and did I mention it's funny? It shares many of the similar traits of his previous works - a complex narrative full of plot twists, an extremely colorful cast of characters, lots of quotable dialogue, and the inevitability that everything will spiral out of control. The story is fantastic, the dialogue is great, and the film is non-complicated but multi-dimensional. Some points are a bit ridiculous, and that makes it even better. Amazing characters, loved everything about it.
Curry & Cyanide: The Jolly Joseph Case (2023)
Bone-chilling doc
Curry & Cyanide is an absolutely gripping and disturbing documentary about the Koodathayi Cyanide killing case and includes viewpoints from many individuals involved with the events. Kudos to the sister who pursued the case relentlessly to "speak for the dead" even under intense public scorn. The creators of the series meticulously compiled the data and and superbly articulated the gruesome story related to this case. This is a psychopath story that may make you lose faith in humanity at times and will definitely leave you feeling unwell in the end. Netflix does a good job releasing these true crime documentaries.
Warrior Nun (2020)
Interesting take
Warrior Nun is a fresh take on a secret order of ninja-like warrior nuns that protect the world from underworld demons. The premise may sound far-fetched, but the story is actually entertaining. The lead, Ava, is relatable in her quest to find her purpose with her second chance at life while fighting both inner and outer demons all while faced with a sacred duty that has been thrust upon her. The supporting characters are believable and provide ample action and motivations to complete this world. The fights are spectacular. I had not heard of Warrior Nun until I bumped into it on Netflix. The concept was so intriguing that I got hooked in and had to see how this idea would even work. I was not disappointed. Warrior Nun is a good vs. Evil battle that is enjoyable television.
Ojing-eo geim (2021)
Bloody good
This show draws you in and it keeps you hooked. The acting and character development is so good that you truly feel for the characters, which makes their demise that much more heart wrenching.
