More than Blue (2009) Korean

Not exact but a closer Korean version of "P.S I love you" film and a Top grosser in box office during its release. A guy diagnosed with terminal cancer tries to finds a perfect man for his girlfriend so to be sure she is in a safe hands after his demise. Though he loves her so much, yet because of his health condition he tries to hide it from her and plans everything else to her life. Last 20 minutes of the film has more twists and turns as plots keep changing then the one we might be assuming but towards the end its just heart wrenching and very emotional.It perfectly evokes nostalgic feel in us and makes us empathize on each characters played in the film. A very good film with full of emotions not to be missed.

Love Forecast (2015) Korean

Love Forecast (2015) Korean

Yet another beautiful feel good romantic Korean movie which i liked very much.Story about two childhood friends one being a school teacher and she being a weather forecast reporter,these two are so close to each-other at every stage of their life with both being totally different character yet managing to stay together always. They both try their luck to get a right partner but always end-up in vain but she never felt the feelings for him in all these 18 years they been together. This movie is a roller coaster ride on emotions and feelings on how love blossoms between them and that they start to realize that their different nature is not what keeping them out of feelings to each-other but that is what keeping them bound together for ever. Finishing off with a very good note at the end makes it much better unlike other Korean movies with sad endings.Overall a good feeler and a nice breezy movie not to be missed. Have fun watching.

Bone Tomahawk (2015)

What a mind blowing wild west thriller this movie is..!! Not sure why even such good movies are not spoken widely , very much underrated but this movie definitely packs more then it was said....!! Why would wild west always be guns and barrels , why not a thriller from it and if so how would that be..Then this movie is exactly that...!! Completely engaging to the core and a perfect adventure film too. Story of four people traveling through tough terrain to save their beloved who been abducted by Man eating Tribes.Their journey and their final encounter with those tribes was brilliantly portrayed and the rest is to know if they succeed in their attempt or not.. There are scenes at second half even Cannibal holocaust would beg to its kneel , definitely not for light hearted but overall this is a perfect entertainer not to be missed.

Wolf Totem (2015) Chinese

Wolf Totem (2015) Chinese

This is one of a Epic film with splendid making not sure how i missed it for such a long time. Had no idea this would be such a emotional ride watching a movie which portrays the nature of Wolf and how much pride they carry among them-self apart from being a Wild Animals. Two students from city move to a rural village to live with local nomads to learn their culture and at same time to improve their life standards. But unknowingly they them-self get involved with these herdsmen so much that they slowly start to adapt to there livelihood. How they start to protect their cattle from wolves while at same time worship the Wolves as godly creature becomes a daily part of life until the natural balance gets disturbed by men from other places.This slowly turns into a epic revenge drama between wolves and humans with a stunning ending on what remains till last.

First and foremost is that dazzling beautiful backdrop where this film was captured mesmerizes us a lot with a perfect bgm. But whats more engaging is a stunning story-line with a beautiful screenplay keeps us to the toes till end. Scenes like Wolves jumping off the clip by them-self out of pride or a wolf which runs 38km to prove their dignity was just mind blowing. This movie made me speechless at most part and gave a mixed feel till the end. This movie is easily one of best movies i watched in this year and a film which will stay in my favorite archives for years to come. Don't miss this at any cost and this is one hell of a film every movie freak need to see. Very strongly recommended.Watch it immediately and you can thank me later.
