Watched quite a number of films here and there; just gonna mention a few noteworthy ones.

Max Max: Fury Road (2015)

Review: no doubt, double thumbs up to the film. Fast paced, furious, unexpected with small twist of humor.

9/10

Everything, Everywhere All At Once (2022)

Review: Utterly enjoyable although you'll be puzzled by some of the weirdness they've got for you. But think again, and you'll find some link to the 'craziness' (or just Google for explanation of the film). It's not linked to Marvel but their concept of multiverse is just as interesting.

8.5/10

Midsommar (2019)

Review: Horror film in a disturbing manner that's unlike the "traditional" kind of horror you'll expect. Love the story and some of the dark humor, symbolism and plot twists.

8.5/10

FOREIGN & ASIAN FILMS

Major Grom: Plague Doctor (2021)
Language: Russian

Review: I watch all kinds of film - including foreign films and this is one of my personal favourite. Unexpectedly witty with some good action, it's worthy of your time & attention.

8/10

White God (2014)
Language: German

Review: Sad, upsetting and leaves you to question humanity. Yet at the same time it reminds you to be kind and compassionate to animals (namely dogs in this case).

It was very well filmed and everything about the tone & colors totally matches the mood.

8.5/10

The Yin Yang Master: Dream of Eternity (2020)
Language: Chinese

Review: The CG, sound system & imageries are excellent. While the story/ plot moves a little slower than expected, you'll realize it's needed for the surprises ahead. After you've seen it, my suggestion is to re-watch it again and you'll go "Ahhh so that's why!" at some of the minute details/ signs they insert into the film which you may ignore early on.

8/10

Escape from Mogadishu (2021)
Language: Korean

Review: Exciting and entertaining, this film showed how two 'enemies' had to work together to get out of a life threatening situation. You'll see some emotionally gripping moments and action in this film; definitely worth watching.

8/10

The Witch: Part 1. The Subversion (2018)
Language: Korean

Review: Another intriguing film but this is certainly for people who prefers something sinister/ dark. The action, gore and plot twist is enough to keep you glued to your seat. Can't wait for the sequel, which is supposed to be out this year!

8.5/10

Eh no hahaha basically also chanced upon so-so or bad films along the way. Films are interesting because it's subjective - always depending on one's own perspective & expectation
