An Art
19 November 2023
This animated series is short in length for a novel series that contains eight volumes. But it has been created considerably with minimal changes so the audience doesn't miss much.

The artwork is beautiful. It's sad how there are years of gap between the first and second seasons. Still the story is pretty much enjoyable and flowing smoothly.

The content maybe not for everyone, but the charming animation is addictively keeping anyone from leaving in the middle. Hope to see more seasons for the entire novel with a satisfying ending.

Highly recommend for everyone above the rated age group. Enjoy your time.

A Blooming Actor
7 April 2023
'Our Blooming Youth' drama has a catching story. The inclusion of politics, romance, internal court affairs, fights, etc are in a tolerable circle, and the plot is not dragging. As for 2023 drama, the production is somewhat behind but it's not bad. The OST is not disturbing to the historical nature of the drama which is a plus.

The cast is good. The actor Jong-Seok Yun who plays the Sergeant Han Sung-on has so much potential. His features, expressions, acting, and even the action scenes are surprisingly good. He only gets better as the story progresses.

Can recommend anyone who prefers a drama like 'Love in the Moonlight.'

Cannot recommend
22 March 2023
It took months to finish watching this drama.

The quality is good, but the story isn't. The whole Sherlock Holmes plot has been ruined by the unrealistic comedic scenes which are overwhelming. The didn't have to include suspence, If they wanted to make a comedy drama.

The main actors' potential have also been wasted. Even the personal attachments for them couldn't keep from pausing the drama for another day.

With the hype on the name of this drama, had high expectations which eventually turned into a great disappointment.

Do not reccomend for anyone who genuinely enjoy a show like 'The flower of evil.'

Kingdom (2019–2020)
8/10
Less Episodes with a Quality.
5 December 2022
The most interesting thing about the 'Kingdom' is character development of the crown prince. We get to see how a single journey out of the palace turns him into a different person.

There is no female main character as a lover to the male main character. But there is a female physician who is trying everything within her power to fulfill her responsibility as a physician.

Those two are the main members of their small gang which has a hunter with unique fighting skills and a handful of strangers who are loyal to the prince's cause.

The theme of Zombies may not be everyone's choice. But if it can be considered as another deadly disease and focus more on the story, this drama is entertaining.

It is rare to see a historical K-drama with no sweet love story or complicated royal affairs. The thing about the 'Kingdom' is, the story is about the royals but there is no royalty.

The Batman (2022)
8/10
The Gotham at its true form
22 August 2022
Love how they created a realistic Gotham city with the darkness, the rain, the never ending nights, the good & bad of people, the depressed Batman, and the abandoned Wayne mansion. Doesn't feel fictional at all.

There's no chemistry between the Batman and the Catwoman. Maybe that's the whole point. Those are two strangers who meet by a chance.

Acting is good. Music is amazing, giving heart chills at most of the scenes.

Hoping for a sequel with an unpopular villain.

Fukushima 50 (2020)
7/10
Invite to watch in Japanese language.
15 June 2022
Surprisingly, the movie has no pre-disaster story about a random family, lovers, or civilians. It starts by providing all the attention to the incident, like a documentary with a clear timeline.

If you're familiar with the Japanese culture, you will not say the movie is full of overacting & chaotic screams, cause there are none. The discipline of the plant employees and their sense of responsibility implied throughout the movie is heartwarming.

As we get to hear, it was a disaster that happened due to underestimating nature. But the effort they take to prevent it from happening feels real. Those people who actually worked in the plant are heroes.

The acting is fine, realistic. If you could live in there for 2 hours, you'll feel your tears streaming down at some point in the movie.

Turning Red (2022)
5/10
Surprisingly not Surprised
21 April 2022
The Panda/ Red fox makes you fall in love when you watch the movie trailer for the first time. As for the movie, it's a disappointment.

I watched the movie with my two nephews. Soon I realized that it was a mistake with their tons of uncomfortable questions.

Anyhow the movie was not entertaining. I don't remember disliking an Animation movie, so this took me by surprise.

The main character was nowhere near cute, she was irritating.

A Fictional Story Based on the True Event.
11 April 2022
The first thought which lasted throughout the movie was, that the male protagonist died because the female protagonist could not decide for her family.

It's sad how some can newer appreciate each other while they can, while they are alive.

The second thought was that all the heroic liquidators are a legend. Diving into the contaminated water for an awaiting death... That's what you call bravery.

Would recommend to anyone.

Could have Directed Better
7 December 2020
The movie 'Ka Pae Ranasingam' brings a topic that must be discussed. It should be appreciated as the struggle is real.

No comments on perfect acting.

One thing want to highlight is the scene changes. Though the movie is longer than 2 hours, no enough time had given to change the scenes smoothly - happens so suddenly, and it is disturbing.

Missing this Perfect Hollywood Direction
29 November 2020
Came to know of 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly' because of its legendary soundtrack - one thing that never gets old.

Felt not for a moment that it was a Western of 1966. There is no actress and the movie is longer than 2 hours, but never once I got bored. It is a masterpiece.

And the satisfaction is 100%

Laal Kaptaan (2019)
7/10
Isn't for Everyone but for Someone
1 August 2020
To the people who said 'Laal Kaptaan' is a waste of time, well... 'This isn't perfect as you & me expected it to be. This isn't the best. This is what calls better.'

We could meet a wandering stranger who we knew nothing about. Then we come to know him as time passed. There is no need for splendid character development. It is as natural as it can ever be.

Bollywood needs more movies like 'Laal Kaptaan,' and deserves appreciation for the fine works like this. 9 out of 10 points for the crew, along with Saif Ali Khan.

Confusing for Some
26 April 2020
Reminds me of the Tamil movie 'Spider.'

Extremely upset that this movie has not got any single award, not even Kangana for her unique acting. Saw she has not been appreciated lately for any movie where she played different kinds of characters. She would rather be in somewhere else, except Bollywood.

And Rajkumar... he is also a good actor. Though this movie does not give him enough acting for an award.

However the script can be confusing for some viewers. People like simple stuff, and this is not simple.

Gully Boy (2019)
6/10
A Good One
26 April 2020
Watched this a few days ago, almost after a year. Had no exceptions when starting watching. And it is 'a good one.'

Ranveer has gotten a chance to do something different. His good skills & always sticks into the character, makes me wanna see more of his works. Maybe a movie with a better ending.

About Alia, she hardly reminds that she is an actress. She has a long way to go. Have seen her works, she tries pretty hard doing justice to every character. But surprised to see that she won Filmfare best actress award for this movie, which seems like a mistake.

Must Needed Topic
26 April 2020
This movie provides everything you wanna see within such a topic. It was a painful watch, and hard.

Deepika as a school-girl - well that does not work. She does not fit that frame. It was nothing but Deepika Padukone acts wearing a school uniform. There is no life. That was all about it, cause beyond that she played well. She brings tears & pain.

I really appreciate the effort. This is a topic we must talk about. And hope this movie along with its huge publicity help the true victims who are suffering out there.

Mausam (2011)

Could do Something More
16 January 2020
Let's say it straightly. Until the very end of the movie, only one thing came to my mind - 'why couldn't direct better with a proper script?'

This movie is a mess. Not because of acting, Shahid and Sonam at their best.

The problem is not having a proper story. The movie jumps here and there. The two of them travel like crazy. The audience gets confused between the real-life events and dates.

Not like the audience already knows everything. The story must be told, clearly, slowly, smoothly. And this movie is like 'we are in a race of covering real-life events before the movie end.'

Memorable Crew
4 January 2020
Watched today after 15 years. The cinematography of this film did not remind me once it was that old.

The acting was superb. The graphic was good. The movie is full of memorable scenes that gave me goosebumps when I was a kid.

What I like the most is not the plot but the cast. It is not possible to like every character in a movie, but could not hate Jack as a villain even with his deeds. Seeing them as a team who got screwed up by giant Anacondas is more satisfying.

A thrilling & fun watch still.

Not Best nor Better either
26 December 2019
The trailer was scary. That is it.

The beginning was good as it takes us to an old English war zone. Then what? Nothing.

The movie is full of thrilling music yet saw the ghost's face only once. The whole movie is darker than it supposed to. The scenes are not clear. Feel pity for the crew. They act well without a proper story, and with no lights as well.

Expected to the sequel to be better but highly disappointed.

Unbroken (I) (2014)
8/10
Could Hear the Heartbeat of War Prisoners
10 December 2019
I always go through the movie reviews & try to see the different sides which I have missed. And I noticed people have brutally criticized this movie because of their dislike on Angelina Jolie.

This movie is one of the best in years. Watched 4 times, and could not ever mind Angelina when watching. There is no female lead but the performances are eye-catching. The cinematography is excellent, and so the makeup. All the locations can make the audience feel like they are standing next to Louis.

'Unbroken' does not spread anger towards any party. At some level, even felt pity for the Japanese Sergeant.

Will be watching this again. A great inspiration for the movie makers.

Daddy (III) (2017)

Worth Watching
7 December 2019
Don't know why Indian Critics are not into praise these kinds of movies. Not an award has given. How much of a disappointment?

There are thousands of soap operas & movies with bad cinematography which they call blockbusters. - Ex: Happy New Year. Then they measure the popularity of actor & actress when giving an award - Ex: Best Actress award has given to the same actress by every award show when there are other great performances left.

Not that those winners do not deserve it. The point is there are always some good actors who are not even on the nominated list. Now what about Arjun?

From a View of an Outsider of India
18 November 2019
At first, hope this movie does not damage the old legends in any wrong way.

One of Kangana's best. Have seen her other movies and it is good to know that she is a multi-talented actress. Make-up and Costumes did not make the audience tired; also the graphics and stunts are at a good level.

Some have mentioned this movie has created an ordinary Queen as a Queen with superpowers. But when seeing the movie all I could think of her as a super Queen. Even without all that stunts, what she had done is outstanding. Her bravery, her courage, her confidence... of course she is a legendary person. Cannot understand what is so harmful when adding some sugar to praise such a great character.

Hope to see another good work soon.

Oh My Ghost (2015)

Na Bong-sun Vs Shin Soon-ae
1 September 2019
Keeping this note only to appreciate Park Bo-young's acting.

All through the drama, she plays like Bong and Soon. Her switching to both characters is mesmerizing. Not confusing a bit, can understand who she plays now without any description. From the way of talking to facial expressions, she does a great job. That is what needs from an actor or an actress - to do their job well by sinking inside the character.

Nowadays it is all about nudity and it is disappointing.

Only a Sequel
28 August 2019
This movie is for someone who loves to surf through the conjuring universe. Do not expect much. Just a good horror film with enough scary scenes.

Harley Quinn's Love Story
24 August 2019
Impressed by Margot's acting as Harley. And nothing else.

The story is poor. Dialogues and graphics are not on the top level. Even though there are supervillains in the introduction, they are rather funny when in action.

The rock music at the beginning is entertaining. The movie is all about the first half. After some time it turns into a children's superhero movie.

Somewhat enjoyable. Expect upcoming sequels to be better than this.

High Society (2015)
4/10
A Good One
23 August 2019
Warning: Spoilers
The worst thing - there is no story for the leading roles.

Everyone do their best in acting. Got emotional seeing the scene where Chang-soo cries in front of his mother, and also the scene when Joon-ki decided to see his father. Still would be better if had a good story for the major roles. The both of them were only walking here and there all through the drama due to lack of moments.

When considering the secondary couple, it is interesting to see the romance between them. Even though they have a typical love story, it is enjoyable.

Not disliking, it is boring. Yoon-ha's family and business issues waste too much unnecessary time. At last I like Park Hyung-sik. All through the show he gives appreciable strength.
