Father of the Bride (2022)
Watched for the first time
The story might have been a remake, but for someone who's watching it for the first time it was enjoyable, delightful, and full of heart.
Andy Garcia and Gloria Estefan portrayed their characters well. Other roles were also quite credible. This film seems to have been made for more mature audiences, those who can appreciate the depth of the story and the genuine emotions with it. Younger audiences and non-married couples might not be a good match. However, for married couples and for people who may have been in long relationships, this film offers a fresh outlook on the stories and insights that are relatable in current times.
Seumuldaseot Seumulhana (2022)
A MASTERPIECE
I rarely write reviews, however, I felt compelled. This story and its wonderful acting/casting, editing, and soundtrack as well as the English dub made the film truly enjoyable.
It is an endearing masterpiece embellished by some significant real world events in the background.
For fans of non-heavy drama and romantic comedies, this is way up in the list of must-watch K stories.
Thank you to all that made this happen.
Rating: 9.5/10.
Gaet-na-eul cha-cha-cha (2021)
All heart ..in different perspectives
The plot might not be all new and some of the events are almost unbelievable or even unrealistic. However, it's quite refreshing that there are many perspectives on the different characters here, which were given much thought and depth.
It's the healing we need to remind us of our humanity, especially, in this pandemic. It is truly a light-hearted gem.
Good story! Great work you guys! 😄
Castlevania (2017)
Season 4
Absolutely enjoyed the first 3 seasons..
but season 4 was even more delightful and thought-provoking.
Watch with no expectation to fully enjoy.
Gojira: hoshi wo kû mono (2018)
Philosophically, worthwhile
Watch only if you have watched the first two of the trilogy to fully appreciate.
Ending is a bit of a let down, but the quality is almost excellent. Would've given this 8/10 ten for a "better" ending, but it is what it is. ü
When They See Us (2019)
Worth your time
If you like stories with substance, stories with drama, and after though, this is worth your time. It is well-played, credible, poignant and universal. It's not for amusement but rather strikes as an eye-opener. Go in without any expectation for a fuller experience. 👍🏻
The Kleptocrats (2018)
The bigger picture behind Leo's WOWS
The Wolf of Wall Street was truly fascinating, Personally it felt like an 8/10 thanks to Leo DiCaprio's top notch acting.
On the other hand after watching this, this felt like the continuation of that movie. The film production was not particularly amazing, but the story and the perspective of truth brought to the watches' attention cannot be denied.
If you are Malaysian (or Filipino), it will surely make an impact since there is a reincarnation of another Imelda..
Recommended to watch only if you know what "EDSA" means.
Trolls World Tour (2020)
Watch like you're seven years old to enjoy
I tried not to expect anything and was quite delighted..
Storyline: 7
Humor: 7
CGI/picture: 9
Music: 9
Message: 10
OVERALL: 8.4
If you pause and analyze, the movie offers a lot of allegory - especially in this time of a pandemic. If you start watching with much expectation, it's less enjoyable. On the other hand, just thinking about the musical arrangement and the visual rendering (even some of the humor), I'm sure it will stand the test of time. Positivity, harmony, and unity.
Sid & Aya: Not a Love Story (2018)
Well-made
It's truly NOT a love story, but the plot plays out quite nicely. The actors have been directed well, same with the cinematography.
A pragmatic, unassuming and delightful film
The Lion King (2019)
If you haven't watched the original animation..
If you haven't watched the original animation, you are in luck. This is a visual feast and the story unfolds nicely -- especially for young audiences.
However, if you have watched the original animation before and know the plot or how it ends.. it will degrade your entertainment level. I suggest to watch with an open mind and temporarily forget what you remember from the original.
Admirable effort for Disney.
Sin-gwa ham-kke: In-gwa yeon (2018)
Worthy sequel
Do not watch this sequel without first watching the first one.
In terms of cinematics, there seems to be less compared with the first. Yet the drama, wit & humor are truly delightful.
BuyBust (2018)
SLUGFEST
Though visually violent and graphically bloody, this movie is NOT a waste of my time. It's truly not for anyone below 18 years of age, in our humble opinion. The director's portrayal of the "drug war" happening is quite fascinating, but not necessarily thoroughly accurate.
If you are entertained by "300" - this is also on the same page, just don't set your expectations too high.
You'll have to pay attention in the last 25 minutes of this movie to appreciate.
