Sorry to bother you - not your usual comedy.

The best way to describe this comedy is when Spike Lee had a baby with Charlie Kaufman. It may not have the depth and nuances of a Kaufman movie, the energy felt very much in line to Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing. At lesser hand the nonsensical plotline will be difficult to stomach but the broad humour trotting along without overstaying it welcome. Just wish it has a more profound messaging or more daring in making a point. The balls out crazy premise is a disguise to critique capitalism and sowing seeds for activisms. I do like Lakeith Stanfield a fair bit here and hope to see him more.

The Night Comes For Us - The unofficial Raid Part 3.

Was hesitant to watch but end up a pretty solid experience watching it. Those yearning for 90s action movies will not be disappointed. It won't replace The Raid but close enough to scratch that itch to see Iko Uwais dishing out the hurt. By the way he is the big bag here. Brace yourself for an unusual high body count.

Illang aka Jin Roh The Wolf Brigade - Somewhat OK I think!!!

Based on Mamoru Oshii's 99 anime movie. A pretty faithful adaptation but hold your hands in connecting the complex storyline. The original anime was paced in similarly like Ghost in the Shell. You have to decipher what actually going on and soaked in the slow burn. Here they amped up the action scenes and over explained things a bit more. Wish they don't portray the last sewer sequence like a Terminator squashing his targets. Also what's up with the happy ending...

The original is the superior version as it has that John LeCarre tone to it and this one neatly tied the bow for you.

Well if you guys really wanted to satisfy the urge to see a badass one man army, do check out The Villainess. It's a better movie on a whole.

Blackkklansman - Powerful ending.

The first thing I appreciate of this movie is Spike Lee broke his dry spell for more than a decade. Inside Man was his last great movie back in 2006. This is a dramedy and not as cheeky as the trailer indicated. The subject is gut wrenching and there's a scene late in the movie where a polarising of two ideals clashing in a spectacular scene performed by Harry Bellafonte is unreal. Then the simple ending montages hits like a truck.

Cold War (2018)
Director: Pawel Pawlikowski(2013-Ida)
Starring: Joanna Kulig, Tomasz Kot, Borys Szyc
Language: Polish and French with English subtitles(in black and white)

Set against the background of the Cold War in 1950s Poland,
Wiktor (Tomasz Kot) composer and pianist at a folk-music academy.
He travels around the Polish remote countryside with his partner,
and a Communist Party official Kaczmarek (Borys Szyc).
Searching for untapped local fresh talent to form a group to
tour the Eastern Bloc.

During the audition process, Wiktor is taken interest with a blonde singer
and dancer Zula (Joanna Kulig). She from the city and not from the villages.
She auditions not with a folk song, but one from a Russian movie.
She sings okay.
She has also been in trouble with the law and was recently let out of
detention after she attacked her stepfather when he tried to assault her.

Wiktor insists that he wants her for her talent, not anything else.
Her talent and charisma are undeniable. His affair with her made Zula
into a star.

Wiktor irate when Polish authorities want Irena and Wiktor to add
a few numbers praising the Soviet Union and its leader, Stalin.
While performing in East Berlin, Wiktor plans his defect with Zula
but she never meets him at their planned rendezvous. He crosses the
border alone.

The mismatched couple begins one of the most painful romances,
a decade of falling apart and coming back together.
Stretches from Poland to Germany to Yugoslavia to France and back again.
A moving moment where Zula joined Wiktor in Paris and starts to
dance to "Rock Around the Clock" in a nightclub with much energy and passion.

A sad story of two broken lovers in a broken country who can't stand to
stay apart but also sometimes can't stand each other either.

My god this movie is fcking awesome. Great acting by Lady Gaga, and I just knew this movie was directed by Bradley Cooper himself? Awesome I would say. 5/5 from me. Awesome songs! I actually downloaded the songs and layan for a few days before I catch the movie. And when I finally seen it, it gets me in the feels man, almost shed manly tears at the end of the movie if not because of the bangla so eager to kutip sampah, overall damn awesome! thumbup.gif

Long long review for whaaaaaaaaaaat?!

Got people read one meh??!!?? laugh.gif

Okay lah okay lah!! tongue.gif

Most of you will know, John Carpenter directed Halloween (1978) and Halloween II (1981) which were well received.

Well, it spurred on the "slasher" films (Friday the 13th Anyone?)

And then Rob Zombie (Yes, THAT Rob Zombie) rebooted the franchise Halloween (2007) & Halloween II (2009) and for the life of me, I am vague on whether I actually watched those....

I was not motivated to watch this latest iteration, frankly, because

1). I am slasher film fatigue

2). I was disappointed that Sony did not treat us to THE short 3D remastered version of Michael Jackson's Thriller in front of this (Sony, WHAT THE HEY!!! When are we going to get to SEE that!!!)

Okay, so what happened. The critics.... like this movie. And then VERY cynically friends who are cynical to movies, watched and praised this movie!!

Paint me intrigued.

I went.

I saw.

I like!!!

From the first frame to the last.

Do note that this only acknowledges the original John Carpenter's movies and nothing else, so don't get confused.

Michael is TRULY deranged.

And it is.... infectious??

I will stop there.

Plunk down your money and go see this.

You know you want to.

There are rumors floating around this "old auntie" and Arnold may reprise their roles in True Lies 2

If only they will get around to release True Lies on Bluray!!
