Quickies: Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, Wonderful World, The Greatest Hits, The Idea of You, Outer Range, Old Places

I am going to do five quick slam-and-bang musings on 5 and put all my creative juices on just one because I have lots of work staring back at me. On another day, I would probably say more about Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, but not for this iteration. Set several generations in […]

Series: Queen of Tears (2024)

I will replicate so,etching I posted on my FB here and all the posts… This will be ongoing post so don’t nobody tell us what happens. We have reached the picture-sake of the poster, episode 7 of Queen of Tears. Actually, I had no plans to watch this. I gave it a 25-minute go and […]

Quickies: A Woman After a Killer Butterfly, Possession, The Fall Guy

Sometimes there are movies that I feel compelled to write about, not so much because they are good or I want to recommend them but because they won’t let me go. They trap me in a stranglehold and I begin to see re-enactments of scenes in real life. Sometimes, in the deep of the night, […]

Quickies: Baby Reindeer, Fallout, Shōgun

It’s me again and I have 3 great shows to recommend… If your idea of entertainment is getting all stressed out, screaming expletives at the TV and tearing your hair out, then Netflix’s Baby Reindeer is the one for you. Don’t pay any attention to the cute title, this one might just bring the dark […]

Quickies: Mujô (This Transient Life), Ripley, Paratyse: The Grey

Just 3 this week and we finished Fallout last night and are going to start Shogun real soon. I will save that for another day. I will start with something challenging. Mujô (1970), which also goes by This Transient Life, is a Japanese erotic drama film directed by Akio Jissoji, in his feature directorial debut. […]

Civil War (2024)

I picked up an important lesson from a shocker of a scene in Civil War, probably the most unnerving scene in the entire movie for me. If I ever find myself left high and dry in a war torn America with a thug pointing a M16 in my face and if he were to ask […]

Quickies: 100 Yen Love, Monkey Man, Article 20

Used up all my creative juice for the Indonesian movie, so just 3 will suffice and I choose these 3… 100 Yen Love (2014), I wanted to see because I saw the Chinese remake YOLO recently and I was very curious to see how Jia Ling adapted the movie. This post will be full of […]

Concert (5 March 2024): Bruno Mars

Back in 2022, during Billie Eilish’s concert at the National Stadium, I was sitting in the expensive seats in the house, but I felt that the standing crowd was having all the fun. I made a vow that fateful night that the next big act to grace the stadium, I would be among the standing […]

Jatuh Cinta Seperti Di Film-Film (Falling in Love Like in the Movies) (2023)

Sometimes, there comes a movie that vivifies everything you know about a genre and you want to give your loudest and heartiest shout-out to everyone you know to watch it. It is the type of movie that coasts along, never making its presence felt, except for a select group of audience. It is the type […]

YOLO (热辣滚烫) (2024)

If there is one genre of film I love the most, it’s the sport genre film. Even the weakest and lamest ones are still enjoyable but the greatest ones like Rocky and Million Dollar Baby will stay with you for life. The narrative structure employed to tell the story seldom sways too much from an […]
