Looop Lapeta (2022)
Outstanding
Go watch this already guys, this dark comedy is absolutely awesome
The movie starts with them saying it's based on the German cult classic Run Lola Run ..... I don't remember it much now but as you can expect there's not much storyline
This is the most technically creative movie you can ever watch ... From the first shot in that green toilet, I knew it would be something special .... The cinematography is out of the world, editing is superb, ahh the transition between shots is simply outstanding.... BGM, music and everything else is good
Screenplay is superb also ... I liked that they nicked from the Runaway Bride and Julia Roberts ....Like I said, go see it already
I am aghast to see such low rating for this technical marvel.... This is what happens when pathetic people who are used to seeing cheesy Bollywood rate epic dark comedies.
Karwaan (2018)
What a beautiful pleasant surprise
I accidentally chanced upon this delightful road trip Hindi comedy staring Dulquer ..... The movie starts pretty slowly and takes off once they hit the roads and becomes a blast once they reach Kerala
The characters are great and so are the locations and yeah all the buildings featured in the movie are beautiful..... I take the beauty of my home state Kerala for granted I guess .... I always like these total strangers bonding after initial stand-off themed road movies and is definitely recommended
PS:: The icing of the cake was that I had stayed once in that small boutique Fort Kochi hotel featured in the climax scene which brought in pleasant memories.
Crash Pad (2017)
Probably the worst movie I have seen
Jeezz Why do they make movies this bad..... I think it's the worst movie I have ever seen .... There's nothing even remotely watchable about this movie.
Mare of Easttown (2021)
It's all about Kate Winslet
This highly rated HBO show is all about Kate Winslet
It's a slow burner, darkish, has an unpleasant atmosphere, flawed characters .... Even though everyone knows everyone else in small towns, they all have dark secrets... Heck yeah even the main protagonist is deeply flawed and unpleasant ..... Long story short, a typical small town HBO show
It's a pleasure to watch Kate Winslet's face portray the various complications and difficulties of a rough life lived in grief and tragedy ..... I am not sure the plot deserves such high rating but surely KW makes it worth the watch.
ZeroZeroZero (2019)
Different from most of the stuff I have seen in a really good way
Zero Zero Zero is the brutal drug story involving the brutal Mexican cartels, the Equally dangerous and cunning Italian Mafia families and the American family caught in the middle who does the shipping of the cargo .... It's spread over 3 continents and 3 languages which makes this show unique and also exciting ...... I felt that the Mexican Carrel portrayed in this show made up of elite Ex SF soldiers portrayed the Los Zetas cartels rise to power ..... I found the unit commander of the Elite Mexican unit who was heavily religious, brutally violent and also very emotional and caring all at the same time really funny .... The Italians were good as usual and I thought the emotional role the American lady protagonist who handled the transshipment of the cargo was played brilliantly by a new actress I haven't seen before
Yeah there are some plot holes like any other fiction based story but the cinematography was spot on, violence was brutal and the action shots were top notch .... The flashback shots takes a few episodes to get used to ..... This tense and gripping show which is very different from the usual formula based style stood out as in being unique from most of the shows and movies I have seen before ..... Yeah it's a must watch for people who like these kind of cartel based Narcos show ...... I would rate it higher than the over hyped Narcos series from Netflix just for the originality if not for other things (personal opinion) 😬
Instant Family (2018)
This is probably the worst movie I ever saw
I have seen a lot of movies and this is one of the worst movies I have ever seen ...... I have knee seen Mark Wahlberg ever act this bad in a movie before ..... So ridiculously predictable from the reaction of families to everything else ..... Of course the forced climax and the usual happy ending all made it an insult to one's intelligence....... Sure you can't make a Kramer be Kramer quality every time but they should at least make an effort
Dash & Lily (2020)
Cheesy mess
Terrible cheesy cliched mess of a series .... Around the 100th show/movie I have seen with an on the way to the airport climax ..... 3 hours of my life I will never get back
