The King (2017) Korean

The King (2017) Korean

Its not just the fist but the real power lies elsewhere....Being a prosecutor gives one such power with ability to control entire fate of the nation and this movie is exactly about a persons life who from being a normal prosecutor raise to a powerful king surpassing all odds. This is not entirely a action packed film but instead a crime drama of sort touching different aspects of Prosecutors life. Movie is good but not pacy enough and gets dragged in the middle. Finishing touch was excellent and definitely can be watched once.

Shot Caller (2017)

Shot Caller (2017)

What a change over for GOT famous Jamie Lannister..Looks like he is paying his debts elsewhere. A perfect gangster based flick of recent time with top notch story-line. Its all about survival of fittest, Inside those prison walls you either had to be a survivor or a victim and that choice decides your lifeline in there. Its all about a normal family man raised to a Marked man when pushed to limits ending up to become caller of shots a single point decision maker both inside the prison as well as outside world just by sitting in a small cell block. Portraying two sides of the story his past and the present prison life parallely was like a icing in the cake keeping the gears on and it carried till the end. Engagement factor was spot on and it was sure a stunner of a film definitely not to be missed. A perfect Gangster Prison based flick and a complete entertainer not to be missed. Have fun watching.

"The fact is we all started out as someone's little angel.And a place like this forces us to become warriors or victims. Nothing in between can exist here."

Lucy (2014)

Lucy (2014)

Been on cards for a while but Took too late to watch such a gem of a film, simply mind-blowing and totally astonishing. This is very much a fantasy film but be sure that it doesn't end there. Though still not proven yet cannot be totally ignored as much as there is no proof of existence of god or beliefs that surrounds it. As Lucy says "Ignorance brings chaos, not knowledge" this feels so true at most when humans found wheel they would have never imagined the way that would revolutionize the world so much. So what we know is little and unknown is always infinite which is exactly what was handled in this film, the real experience of a normal human being with ability to use 100% of brain, what would be the world then, what we known for all the time. Name it enlightenment, higher consciousness, kundalini, Golden lotus flower, gods existence to that of Evolution of life itself is all been touched here.

Teleportation, Time-travel, De-duplication, Telepathy , Ashta Siddhis ( the eight siddha powers ) and what not...All the things which science never explained been visually presented in this film to a extent, hats off to Luc Besson for the research and homework he would have done to bring this movie to life. When Lucy says a simple line on the go " We really dont die" that carries a lot more meaning to it then being a normal sentence. Likewise the finishing, the travel beyond universe, seeing the world in form of Nucleus and atoms, being in a ecstasy state of immeasurable happiness, a empty void with no real belonging, its a whole new level to it. Seeing Morgan Freeman there brings back episodes of Cosmos, Through the wormhole which makes it more interesting watching this movie while correlating most of it to the concepts.If you are not into these Deeper subjects of Enlightenment, existence or in our world siddha ways , meditation & yoga or into Buddhism teachings..then this is just a mere action flick to them missing out the actual essence of it but for others who love to seek more and fanboys of such knowledge of infinite universe, this is a real treat to them. Lucy movie easily one of my top favorite flicks of all time.

The Signal (2014)

The Signal (2014)

Its A Sci-Fi thriller about Alien Abduction. What starts with Search for Hacker soon turns out to be life n death situation for three teenagers. This film was on watch list for a long time not getting much priority for i felt it would be just another simple UFO movie but this is surprisingly good. The concept is very nice and the way they slowly unfold the truth about their existence and their abduction was well crafted. It is only at the last scene were it all comes to make sense and it was well maintained till the end irrespective of leaving few clues here and there. Overall its not a bad film i thought it to be and for sure can be watched once.

Big Stan (2007)

Big Stan (2007)

He accidentally finds a Ninja master during his desperate search for trainer and how his life takes a complete turn from there on makes rest of the story.

Time Renegades (2016) Korean

Time Renegades (2016) Korean

I always wonder from where these Korean makers get such remarkable concepts not just that but perfect execution of the same. This flick is just as different as it is about two people from different timeline one from the past 1983 and other other in present 2015 Connected together in their dreams sharing their life events in it. How they start realizing this unique gift and how they use it to stop a serial killer inturn saving their loved ones forms the core plot of this movie. The way the past n the future events were handled was brilliantly and to mere perfection. How changes to the past can affect future events was flawlessly executed which is a most important factor that was handled carefully in this film. The last ten minutes of this movie is the best part from entire run-time giving a super feel and a emotional touch to it. Overall yet another Korean flick which is a complete entertainer definitely not to be missed

13 game sayawng (2006) | Thai

13 game sayawng (2006) | Thai

An online reality game show which targets desperate people with 13 strange challenges allowing them to Win $100 if they successfully complete all 13 challenges without fail. The worst part is with each challenge the game becomes more awkward and dangerous but the money that's into it makes them go forward ignoring all the consequences that carries with it. So this film captures One mans life when he falls victim to this game and the way his life shatters one Step at a time was perfectly portrayed in it. Movie is disgusting at few parts making us uneasy to watch or digest it. But the concept makes it unique which deserves a one time watch.

Same movie was remade in English "13 Sins (2014)" which i feel is much better then the Thai version and if you have not watched both the films, i would rather suggest to go for the English version first to enjoy the concept in a better way.

Chopper (2000) | Australian Movie

Chopper (2000) | Australian Movie

Movie is based on Autobiography of Mark "Chopper" Read inspired by the books of Mark Brandon "Chopper" Read. Once a infamous Australian Gangster turning into a Writer with his best seller book Chopper based on his own life. A movie that won so many awards to his name and i just realized its not for the actual person himself but a jaw dropping performance of Eric Bana in this film. Just blown away by his acting in it, the way he makes his mark at initial 30 minutes especially when his own cell mate stabs him its just topnotch. A sick minded gangster who doesn't care to even kill anyone if he is threatened or if he feels insecure for his own safety making him a strange odd guy walking down the streets, spending almost half of his life behind bars one can feel where it all came from. One of must watch movie not to be missed.

Power Rangers (2017)

Power Rangers (2017)

As we know its a superhero movie about five teenagers who accidentally find magical coins which gives them immense power with lots of superhuman capabilities. How they find secret behind their strength and their real purpose to fight against dark force inorder to save the universe forms core plot of this film. Movie started off really good during their discovery or testing their new capabilities but towards the end its total destruction. It was too amateurish at second part as if watching Power-puff girls instead and those monster that rise are a laughing stock. School going kids might love this flick but outside that it doesn't have much to offer. Just a time-pass watch..nothing more in it.

And Soon the Darkness (2010) Spanish

And Soon the Darkness (2010) Spanish
A mystery thriller that deals with Human trafficking in interior parts of Argentina where reports of Missing personal pile up frequently. Two American girls who take a vacation in same region decide to stay at a local motel at their last night before they get back home finishing their holiday. But things take a wild turn when one of friend goes missing in broad daylight while the other has no clue whatsoever on her location or status. Rest is about the desperate measures she has to take to locate her friend inspite of no help received from local police nor local villagers, and her realizing of more darker secrets towards the end on every missing person that were reported in that area. Movie is good and is definitely intense n engaging but still it sort of predictable and lacks proper explanation at many places leaving it disjoint to the screenplay. Ending could have been made a lot better then simply circling it up with few people playing antagonist part of the story. Can be watched once.

Crónica de una fuga (2006) Spanish

El Clan (2015) Spanish

El Clan (2015) Spanish

Movie based on true events about The Puccios family whose main source of income is through kidnap and later murder them in cold blood for no reason even though they receive Ransom from victims family. Here its not just some individual but rather a entire clan ie every member in the family somehow involved with everything that was happening in their home. How police brought down such a ruthless killers into custody covers rest of the story. Though they are not exactly a serial killers yet the way they manage their composure with no remorse makes us believe that their minds are no less then a psychopaths. Though this movie might be portraying few individuals on a lighter side, still this gives chills in the spine thinking on how a entire family are involved in such activities. Movie is slow, not a gory one actually inspite of being a raw subject it can be watched once.

Some facts about this incident :-

Der Tunnel (2001) German

Der Tunnel (2001) German
Yet another movie based on true events. This flick captures one successful escape attempt from East to west Berlin when they were split and a wall was raised between them. Having lost their families at each sides while East taking a stringent action against anyone trying to migrate to the other side , the families had to take a hard step to get their beloved to the other side. We might have seen so many movies based on tunnels and escape but to be sure this is one such exceptional movie that covers even the finest details making us live through the entire moments of it. The love of families , the loss and life, fear and death, Freedom and fight, this all blends together to produce one such jaw dropping film as this. a seamless story that captures one of riveting history in a splendid way. Movie is so long about 160 minutes but makes it feel worth every minute of it. A must watch foreign language film and definitely not to be missed. My strong recommendation goes with it. Happy watching

Borderland (2007) Spanish

Borderland (2007) Spanish

"Inspired from true events" isint that enough to get ones attention and i had to say this flick lived up-to it.

Very raw with extreme violence, this movie needs it to get it watched. About a cult leader who abducts a American for his satanic ritual followed by attempts of his friends to get him back. What follows is so dark and terrorizing to the core watching the gruesome heartless followers of such cult with no rational thinking. May be this movie might raise some eyebrows but the fact is this is still been happening all over the world but might have never seen the daylight so far. Finishing of this movie was good giving a redemption twist to it yet it still would leave you inside dark corners of your mind. Released so many years back i am sure this would still be unique among such similar movies and a thrill ride for sure. Viewers discretion advised but a flick not to be missed.

Movie is based on Cuban Cult leader % a drug loard Adolfo Constanzo. To read more of this real story

Train (2008)

Train (2008)

Think twice before you board any train, for you never know whats gonna come to you or your destination is. This is one gruesome horror cum thriller flick were your travel takes a wrong course leaving you run for life till the end. What if you are to be hunt down for your organs and that you are tortured alive harvesting one organ at a time, that would be a nightmare for any and this movie exactly does that but in a bizzard way. This is perfectly in lines of Midnight Meat train, turistas,Hostel kinda film and so as it goes without saying its definitely not for light hearted. That twist towards the end with a revenge touch is osm which gives a lighter feel to it, else its a hardcore disturbing flick for sure. Watch it at your will.

A Cure for Wellness (2016)

A Cure for Wellness (2016)

Excellent Medical thriller very intense right from the start..Felt similar like watching Shutter island but again the concept here was very intriguing. The first thing you would notice is the visuals and the atmosphere it generates for the viewers especially with the alps in Swizz but its gets more elevated with the presence of haunting BGM which is beautifully done here.Any details of the story line would be a disgrace for such a film and it would be better left for the audience to experience it. Though there are some parts of the story not clearly explained or might feel little disconnected yet it still gets one engaged for sure. Definitely not to be missed and strongly recommended.

Unacknowledged (2017)

Unacknowledged (2017)

A mind blowing documentary recently released which deals with exploring greatest secrets that were kept hidden for centuries from mankind while digging through some secret archives and historic files as a proof supporting this huge conspiracy that supports this UFO n Extraterrestrial visitation. This film packs some shocking facts ever known before and how each great events in history aligns itself towards one single objective giving much darker side of secret societies that control the world invisibly. This is for sure a interesting documentary not to be missed.

Devil's Domain (2016)

Devil's Domain (2016)

We would have seen so many horror films were Satan himself try to take over the souls of humans with so many false promises which eludes them to pick the dark side in return trading their souls for such fake comforts, this movie is exactly the same but in a different way. A girl gets bullied in school which pushes her to a extent that she eventually decides to end her life, but towards the end she gets a helping hand from someone who promises her to fix things for her. While she enjoys all the comforts that she gets with a strange cult group, no sooner she starts to realize that its a plan for much bigger game and so is the end. Inspite of being gory at few parts yet this film still promises to be a entertainer and keeps you glued to the seat till the end. Not the best but for sure a average film that can be enjoyed especially if you are a horror movie fan. Have fun watching
