Gunpowder Milkshake (2021)
They were gong for a John Wick kind of universe
And failed miserably at that. So they have a diner for assassins where they take your weapons and a doctors for them too. It is so derivative of those better movies they might as well called it Joan Wick and be done with it. However the second half of the movie is so much better that the scene setting first half. Some the action sequences are pretty fantastic and Karen Gillian is always very personable. The fantastic cast raise this movie somewhat but man is it hard to get through the first sloppy hour.
Revolution Rent (2019)
Absolutely beautiful
As a huge fan of Rent I really enjoyed this but it was about more than just the show. The story of Andy's mother was very moving and interesting. It was great to see the Cuban audition process and rehearsals from day 1 up to opening night and to get to know so many lovely people. Massively recommended.
Ang-ma-reul bo-at-da (2010)
Extraordinary acting, brutal action and beautifully filmed
I Saw the Devil is an extraordinary film, it's a brutal and emotional story of revenge. I am glad I got to see the international "unrated" version that contains all the violence they had to cut out in Korea because this is one of the points of the film. The story begs the questions of how much revenge is enough, who can truly win when everyone stoops to the same savage level The cinematography is often stunning too, you can imagine this being shown at film schools.
Mare of Easttown (2021)
Rewards your early patience with escalating tension..
Early couple of episodes I was occasionally a little lost because they barely introduced many characters and then later referenced them by name and I couldn't remember who they were talking about. This show got better and better and by the end of episode 5 I was almost screaming at the tv. It is a strange mix of family drama with a side plot of kidnap and murder. I am pretty sure who the killer is but we shall see if I am right in two weeks.
