Sseul-sseul-ha-go cha-ran-ha-sin-do-ggae-bi (2016)
One of the best things I've ever watched, period.
This is an absolutely beautiful drama - well written, hilarious, emotional, magical, mysterious and sweet. With great acting (Yoo Gong is amazing).
I've been watching Chinese and Korean drama for a while now, but this is probably my all time favourite ...
The director and writer are a killer team, having worked previously together on Descendants of the Sun (another excellent Korean drama), and together they have crafted a drama of such beguiling beauty I find myself dreaming of it still, several weeks later. It ruined me for a good two weeks - could not find anything to watch as everything paled in comparison to Goblin's power.
If you've never watch K-Drama before I encourage you to give it a try and start with the best of the best - you will not be disappointed. Goblin is a life enriching tour de force.
Quincy (2018)
Don't listen to any rubbish critic reviews...
This is a fitting retrospective of one of music's heroes.
Quincy Jones is a giant of creativity - and as a music writer myself I gained so much from the little wise asides and musings that constantly crop up from past recorded interviews and in his narration ..
It's an astounding story of a life well lived, and worth watching for recognition of his incredible contribution to art, culture, politics and charity. The fact he's a fallible human with a warm heart makes it even more enjoyable a ride.
The film was made with his daughter Rashida at the helm - which adds to the beauty of the tale in my eyes: family is hugely important to Quincy.
Any critic wishing there had been more dishing of the dirt is missing the point (I'm looking at you Charles Bramesco).
Great film - make sure you can hear it well, as the soundtrack is golden.
Blockbuster (2018)
Super cute and funny af
Indie film - well worth the watch. Slick humour with a good heart - totally recommended.
