Loving Vincent
(2017)

THIS MOVIE IS WORK OF ART!
I recommend this movie to all art lovers!

This film was a dream come true for me as a Van Gogh fan.

Please understand that this is not an animated film. It's a film full of moving paintings. It was the last thing I expected to see a painting come to life.

The narrator, who is the son of a postman who used to transport letters between Vincent Van Gogh and his brother Theo, brilliantly explains this film. The narrator is tasked with delivering Vincent Van Gogh's letter to his brother before he dies.

Throughout the tour, he meets people who played important roles in Vincent Van Gogh's life and learns a lot.

This film is ideal for individuals who want to learn about Vincent's life from the beginning to the end. The actors, dialogues, and, of course, the artists have done an incredible job of putting everything together.

Run
(2020)

MOM IS A QUESTIONABLE ENTITY
Plot: The story of a mother and daughter who stay together in the city of Seattle is told in the film Run. Daughter is in her adolescence, preparing for college and the next stage of her life. Unfortunately, she is disabled and utterly dependent on her mother. While searching through the grocery bags for chocolates, she finds a prescription for her mother's medication. Her mother, who was perfectly good and cheerful, had no idea that this would happen. When her mother delivers those same pills to her daughter, claiming they are for her and not for her, the narrative takes an unexpected turn. In the next sections, the daughter grows suspicious and begins to uncover her mother's dark secrets.

Characters: When I initially saw the mother's character, I thought to myself, "Is she Adele?" lol. Both performers, especially the daughter, did an excellent job. You'd feel sad for the movie as a whole.

Production: The setting, the daughter's bedroom with its high-tech gadgets, everything appears to be chillingly terrible.

Cinematography: Even though the visuals are simple, the story makes the film more compelling.

My Viewpoints: Because, at the end of the day, cinema is all about narrative, the skill of letting someone imagine or experience the characters, which this film achieves, I am a big admirer of story above high-end visuals. I thoroughly loved this picture and desired that more films with similar plotlines were produced.

Pros and Cons: Even though the narrative is fantastic, it is rather predictable. However, the flow of events causes you to have a psychological shift in your thinking, leaving you with goosebumps all over your body.

Recommendation: More than one watch.

How to Marry a Millionaire
(1953)

CHAOTIC, FUNNY GOLD DIGGERS
How to Marry a Millionaire is one of the brightest and wittiest comedies of the 1950s, and it's surely a sight to behold with three leading ladies on the level of Lauren Bacall, Marilyn Monroe, and Betty Grable.

PLOT: Schatze Page is a sharp, savvy lady who leases an apartment in New York. The women want to use the flat to court and marry wealthier men. She phones her other two pals, Loco and Pola, who, like Schatze, are in financial trouble. Tired of cheap men and a lack of funds, they want to use all of their skills to woo and marry three millionaires. The issue is that it's not always easy to tell the wealthy men from the charlatans, and even if they can, is the money really worth it?

CHARACTERS: There are several small characters that steal the moments and keep the film enjoyable.

CINEMATOGRAPHY: Because this was my first old film, I enjoyed how it was shot. Despite the fact that the film is set in that age, the transition between scenes is seamless.

PRODUCTION: Locations, setting, and gorgeous costumes. The film suits the production budget wonderfully.

My OPINIONS: Believe me, this was my first early 1950s film, and it was fantastic. I was quite amazed by the actors in the film. It was a thrilling experience to watch. The language, clothing, and even the city were all very different back then.

Forget about my perspective; when it comes to the film, the plot entertains the viewer while also highlighting how the working class was not privileged, and hence many women were left behind in terms of financial stability. I basically watched the movie because I was infatuated with Marilyn Monroe for a long time.

The male supporting performers were my favourite sections of the picture. They incorporated the essence into the picture. Their comedy timing is impeccable.

RECOMMENDATION: I would recommend this movie for more than 1 time.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
(2005)

TOUR TO A MAGICAL MYSTERY WORLD
I'm aware that certain unpleasant characters or even situations will appear in children's fantasy films. It, of course, refers to the villain. There have been several disputes over whether the film should have an age restriction and how the narrative is slow.

PLOTLINE: A poor boy named Charlie Bucket wins a golden ticket at Wonka Bar and has the chance to see Willy Wonka build the world's first largest chocolate factory. There are four other kids throughout the world who have won golden tickets. Finally, the lucky winner will get the life-changing award.

CHARACTERS: Very absorbing. Willy Wonka and the other golden ticket winners were my favourites. They've stayed so true to their characters that it's difficult to forget them if you see them in other series or movies.

PRODUCTION: The massive sets, costumes, and most importantly, the ability to make everything appear genuine, win the hearts of the audience.

MUSIC: The music here is largely geared toward tiny tunes sung by the chocolate plant workers. It's lighthearted, jiggly, and enjoyable. As we all know, soundtracks work best for these kind of flicks. It's the same situation here.

MY OPINIONS: If I'm not mistaken, this is the second Willy Wonka adaptation following the first, which starred Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka. Many people have criticised this film for including Johnny Depp as the main character, but I believe he did an outstanding job in the part.

Johnny Depp is witty, unusual, satirical character. The music here is largely geared toward tiny tunes sung by the chocolate plant workers. It's lighthearted, jiggly, and enjoyable. As we all know, soundtracks are ideal for films like this. The scenario is the same here. It's a typical Tim Burton picture in every way, with magnificent cinematography, bizarre humour, and unusual characters, all while maintaining loyal to the novel's essence. Roald Dahl would've been overjoyed.

I want to read the book after seeing the movie to see whether it fits the aspects, but I trust Tim Burton. The entire cast also gives amazing performances. Johnny Depp delivers an odd, even terrifying performance. Willy Wonka as the satirical dark character and Charlie as exploring, innocent boy. The Grandparents are loving and eccentric, and the five other children and their parents are hilariously annoying.

I haven't watched the first adaption yet, which was original but I'll give it a try and compare why some people have revolting reviews over such a good film. Tim Burton is known for making animated short fantasy movies, here his efforts won my heart.

DIRECTOR: TIM BURTON The cinematic adaptation of Roald Dahl's great novel of the same name. Mr. Burton was tasked with adapting this legendary novel into a film because he knows how to entertain an audience with a great story and superb cinematic flair. Mr. Burton is fortunate in that this is his fourth collaboration with the film's lead, Johnny Depp. Both the director and the celebrity are aware of what the other expects of them. The picture is a marvel of inventiveness, with a film that will appeal to both youngsters and adults. John August's screenplay complements both the novel and the picture. Mr. Burton has given the movie a sparkling look that makes it difficult to be distracted at any point. We were so involved in the movie that we didn't even realise it had ended, leaving us wanting more.

RECOMMENDATION: I would recommend this movie more than one watch.

Geu nom moksori
(2007)

CHILLING THRILLER BASED ON A TRUE UNSOLVED CASE IN 1991
SYNOPSIS: The only child of well-known news caster Han Kyung-bae mysteriously vanishes one day. The abductor soon telephones and starts demanding a ransom, which keeps increasing throughout the film. The police form a top-notch task group to operate under his direction and appoint an experienced veteran to lead the investigation. However, the kidnapper consistently outsmarts the authorities and calls the parents again and again with new instructions for the money drop.

CHARACTER ANALYSIS Han Kyung Bae (Father) - He is displayed as the news channel's anchor. It goes without saying that a newscaster's role is to present significant situations on television while being objective and emotionless. Ironically, his own son has been abducted, and he doesn't want the situation to get worse by spreading the word internationally. He displays great commitment, support, and optimism throughout the entire film. His The fact that he keeps moving from one place to another while obeying the kidnapper's commands, acting deliberately, and being mentally aware and trauma-free helps the audience realise how much the father wants his son back and how willing he is to fight and play the cat and mouse game. He is accompanied with a veteran detective which becomes his backbone throughout the chase.

Oh Ji Su (Mother) - A housewife from the 1990s is undoubtedly defined as a helpless and hopeful mother who wants nothing more than for her son to return home safely. She does housework, cares for her son, and feeds her husband who returns home exhausted from work. She maintains her religious beliefs despite the circumstances.

Sang Woo (Kidnapped Son) - His innocence, playfulness, and wonderful character immediately captivate the viewer, despite the fact that he only has a brief part at the opening of the film before being abducted. After he is kidnapped, one can perceive the pity. He is shown as ambitious and has the desire to one day become a well-known caster of a news channel like his father.

MY VIEWPOINTS - You experience an emotional and frightening rollercoaster in this two-hour film. The movie moves slowly, thickening the storyline as it progresses. Less violet, but more mental torment, captures the audiences eye. The situations are more realistic and look more natural because the father and mother are specifically shown losing themselves psychologically. Much thanks to the talented actors.

It is more helpful to explain a child's mental trauma when parents are seen having hallucinations of their child. There is a religious perspective emphasising that since certain things are beyond your control, all you can do is make an effort. Be optimistic and follow your path since, in the end, you never know what will happen. The voice analysis that was presented in the film was both significant and fascinating. The only solution was voice analysis because technology wasn't very advanced in the 1990s when the incident happened. Making an educated judgement about the kidnapper's face characteristics is made easier by studying speech modulation with tone and accent when the kidnapper used to call. These scenes gives you a experience of investigating process used in early 1990s.

Back to back frightening turns happen. The investigating team and parents are used as props in mindgames by kidnapper to make the storyline more intriguing. It made me feel awful when I learned that it was based on a true story, but after watching the brilliantly directed film, it made more sense. The pain, suffering, and other emotional and physical trauma are endless.

FAVOURITE LINE: "I always thought bad things happens to only people" said by Father aka Han Kyung Bae.

Recommended - I highly recommend this movie for more than one time. It's worth it.

Hotel Leikeu
(2020)

NOT WORTH WATCHING
I found this film while looking for Korean horror films.

I considered giving it a go after reading the synopsis and glancing at the movie poster, but I was mistaken. What an awful film.

There are strange events. Dark, gloomy hotel maintained by the owner with only one employee. Staff members engage in bizarre talk and frequently drinking. The characters go to a basement around three or four times even though no one should be there.

But what is the major narrative? I didn't understand any of it. Why did the friend of her mother do this? Does a spirit truly exist? What actually happened to her mother? Anyway.

The movie didn't appeal to me.

I wouldn't suggest seeing this movie repeatedly.

Wedding Season
(2022)

ENJOYED IT, LIGHT HEARTED, FUN
Since Life of Pi, I've been Suraj Sharma's acting. Seeing him in a rom-com was entertaining. I adored the movie. It's a typical Asian wedding film, where the parents expect the groom to be extremely successful and have a college degree while the children of our generation only want happiness, pleasure, and love.

Ravi Shah and Asha Maurya act as though they are dating while convincing their parents that they are interested and set to get married. However, things turn out differently when both parties' lies are exposed.

The movie is adorable and soothing to watch. Additionally, the supporting cast members did an excellent job.

I suggest seeing this film more than once.

Apateu
(2006)

WASTE OF TIME
SUMMARY: A working woman in her 30s experiences a deathly incident which disturbs her and after a while, she starts noticing strange incidents happening in her opposite building. She starts spying and things go downhill.

I thought this movie give me scares since the visual effects are blue, grimmish and 2000s old school just like Ring series, but I WAS WRONG.

This film makes absolutely no sense. It was dull the entire time, and the plot is terrible. I would not suggest this film to anyone.

This movie talks about more suicides than actual story? Looking at the story, they could have done so much better but it went all over the place.

Orphan: First Kill
(2022)

PERFECT PREQUEL!!!!!
If I am not strong enough, this is the prequel to the first part since in the first one, the burning home, the song "that's the story and glory of love" is heard singing, and she also learns to paint with hidden sides to it, as well as receiving her name "Esther."

I'm glad they used the same actress since she fit the part well and did an amazing job. Tricia, the mother, was the cruellest character. She began manipulating and becoming more poisonous since her husband's happiness was so essential to her. Gunnar, on the other hand, swept me away with his cuteness, and sure, he was effective in creating the stereotypical high school youngster.

Many viewers claimed that the movie was interesting in the first half but uninteresting in the second. I'm not sure, but the movie kept me interested because I wanted to know how it ended.

I loved the movie. No complaints.

I recommend this movie for more than one watch.

Malasaña 32
(2020)

1ST HALF IS INTERESTING BUT REST IS BAD
I chose this movie over the trailer and also the country since spanish movies ain't my first choice.

The story starts with a house being haunted and soon, after 5 years, a family gets shifted into the house. They start experiencing strange incidents inside the house.

The 1st half of the movie is very interesting, but the moment it starts proceeding to the other half, it feels as if it was stretched for no reason. The plotline degrades after the half part so I do not recommend this movie for 2nd time.

Good parts about the movie are the characters. They make the situation seems so realistic. I liked the actors. Movie is great but not that level where you can finish it.

Cracked
(2022)

WORTH MY TIME, LOVED IT!!!
If you're seeking for innovative storylines, try watching Thai, Hong Kong, or Chinese movies. SAME GOES WITH THIS MASTERPIECE.

SUMMARY: Ruja and her daughter, Rachael are having financial crisis when she receives a call asking her to return from New York to Thailand to deliver her late father's priceless paintings, which are worth millions. Her dad's buddy hires Tim, an artist, to restore the picture before selling it. They both begin experiencing paranormal activity in their home, particularly in the art studio, soon after moving in.

MY OPINION: I didn't anticipate this time's storyline surprise, I assure you. When the movie took a significant turn, I was completely surprised. The duration of this film keeps you interested. I did feel a little stretched out in the middle for no apparent reason, but at the end you can see why those scenes were included. The narrative is intriguing because of certain elements.

I recommend this movie more than one watch. I guarantee you will love this movie.

Gone in the Night
(2022)

TYPICAL MILLENNIAL, BATHROOM BRAIN STORMED MOVIE
Seriously? I was expecting better from this one but this movie out of logical reasons.

SYNOPSIS: For a gateway weekend, Kath and her boyfriend Max rent a cottage. However, they discover a couple has already reserved the cabin when they get there. Due to double bookings, the cabin. Kath and Max decide to remain because it is late at night and go in the morning. Kath learns the following morning that Max and the girl left and that girl's boyfriend is really worried. But as the story progresses, it becomes clear that nothing happened as it was not planned. And which part? Was everything, nevertheless, truly as planned?

MY VIEWS: Okay. The story was good. Good try but the reason why everything happens wasn't logical at all. Just a spoiler alert, if you wanna show something medical, please do your research first. You either be dumb or be smart, don't be the middle person that's the point. Anyway, the villain sucked my blood over entire movie because she did a excellent acting of a messed up adult. So yes, the characters were different and enjoyable but the storyline was little messed up. Could have been better though.

I recommend this movie for one time watch so that you viewers can understand my point of view, else than don't waste your time.

Goodnight Mommy
(2022)

EXCELLENT PLOTLINE BUT POOR DIRECTION
Summary: Lukas and Elias, twin boys, arrive to their mother's country house at the start of the film. They are shocked to find their mother wrapped in a surgical mask when they first arrive. She says that she had surgery and would likely be out of it in some time.

Boys begin to notice their mother's changes. She has turned controlling, aggressive, and less loving. Boys start looking into the woman behind the medical mask to find out who she really is.

Overall my views: Goodnight Mommy is a psychological thriller and I loved the fact, this movie mentally makes you crave and watch the agony and violence. I loved the characters and everything. I enjoyed thoroughly. Since the Ring series, Naomi Watts has been my favourite actor. Despite the fact that she is still bright and attractive. Her acting is sincere and conjures up reality. The concept behind this film was really great. However, it has the drawback of being badly written and directed. There are certain portions that leave me uncertain and confused. It all makes sense in the end, as the conclusion shows, but throughout the film, I felt like there was a thrill missing. Since the boy's characters are revolting against the lady acting as their mother, I had anticipated more confrontations between them.

RECOMMENDATION: I would recommend this movie more than 1 time.

Goe-gi-maen-syon
(2021)

MOST UNDERATED AND UPTILL NOW THE EXCELLENT HORROR FILM IN KOREAN FILM INDUSTRY
SUMMARY: Ji Woo, a webcomic artist, visits the Gwanglim Mansion after hearing the terrifying rumours about that apartment. The apartment's caretaker, a middle-aged guy, describes a few incidents that occurred there. Ji Woo becomes more and more obsessed.

MY VIEWS: This film tops Gonjam Haunted Asylum in quality. I realise that making such a bold statement considering how well acclaimed this Korean horror film is, but as a horror movie enthusiast, I can assure you that this film will not let you down. The narrative is strong because the movie's many scenes make connections. The story of each character shown in the first chapter is told by the middleman throughout the duration of the film's four chapters. The movie becomes really intriguing when the hints for next scenes are shown, since this demonstrates how precisely the plot was crafted and how skilfully the direction was executed. This movie is obsessed in every way. The middleman telling such stories is a very surprising and distinct character. It resembles watching episodes of short horror stories. There is nothing special to talk about the sets, because all the incidents happens in that apartment. I totally loved it! Creative, Engaging and Terrifying.

RECOMMENDATION: I recommend this movie more than 1 time.

Rang song
(2021)

THIS MOVIE DESERVES AN OSCAR
I initially believed it to be a documentary with actual people and a true narrative, but I subsequently realised it was a fictitious film due of the graphic violence, inappropriate sexual material, abuses, and cannibalism.

A family in Thailand's Isan area is the subject of the narrative. Nim (medium/shaman) claimed to have been transmitted down the centuries by a local divinity named Ba Yan. Her younger sister Nim steps in for her older sister Noi, who was selected to host Ba Yan's soul but declined.

A family in Thailand's Isan area is the subject of the narrative. Nim have claimed to have claimed to be possessed and has passed down the centuries by a local goddess named Ba Yan. Nim steps in for her younger sister Noi, when Ban Yan selects her his spirit to host.

FIRST THOUGHTS: You can only imagine what a powerful film this is if you believe me when I explain that it is fictional by God's grace. The reason I started this review with "This movie deserved an Oscar" is that the amount of work that each actor put into portraying their characters is phenomenal. The film's directing, as well as the staging, lighting, narrative, and cinematography.

DIRECTION: Since the director of this film is the same as that of The Wailing, I cannot even question his originality in making it. Despite being a fiction, this documentary makes you feel uneasy and ask yourself "really, is it the fiction? Why did it seem real?" His ability to see the Thai culture clearly painted for us a picture of greed, the boundaries of what one may believe, materialism, hope, and survival.

CHARACTERS/ACTORS: There are graphic possession moments that were shot in a documentary style, so you can only imagine how genuine they must have felt to see. Actors devoted themselves to their roles as they were their only source of income for their mortgage, rent, and food. They performed it so well , which gave viewers the impression that it's all real. It's incredibly realistic and natural. I wonder how much dedication and effort went into making this movie. Most significantly, the actress who portrayed Mink did a fantastic job.

PLOTLINE: The storyline naturally pleases your interest in finding out more information about the topics covered in the film. The viewer's feelings are maintained throughout the whole film through a few specific scenes and, more importantly, by dialogue that is left hanging with incomplete facial expressions. Excellent decision! Because everything was interconnected, I didn't feel any scenes were unnecessary.

I recommend this film to any aspiring horror critics since it is entertaining and lends itself to a number of intriguing theories. I guarantee you won't look back on it with regret.
