TRAVEL TO MOVIES: THE HARDER THEY FALL

Director: Jeymes Samuel
Cast: Jonathan Majors , Idris Elba , Zazie Beetz , Regina King , LaKeith Stanfield , RJ Cyler , Danielle Deadwyler , Edi Gathegi , Deon Cole , Delroy Lindo , DeWanda Wise , Chase Dillon , Damon Wayans Jr. , Julio Cesar Cedillo , Manny Rubio , Woody McClain , Torrey B. Lawrence
Plot: When outlaw Nat Love (Jonathan Majors) discovers that his enemy Rufus Buck (Idris Elba) is being released from prison he rounds up his gang to track Rufus down and seek revenge. Those riding with him in assured, righteously new school Western include his former love Stagecoach Mary (Zazie Beetz), his right and left hand men--hot-tempered Bill Pickett (Edi Gathegi) and fast drawing Jim Beckwourth (R.J. Cyler)--and a surprising adversary-turned-ally! Rufus Buck has his own fearsome crew, including "Treacherous" Trudy Smith (Regina King) and Cherokee Bill (LaKeith Stanfield), and they are not a group that knows how to lose against!


My Movie Review: The movie is powerful ensemble with a cast this strong and good script its one exeptional story with this caliber that told in a straight out of the books Western Adventure! The Harder They Fall is sucessful in creating a world of its own and making a watchable event of a show that's worth celebrating with unapologetically centers its Black characters in finesse:) The aim of The Harder They Fall is to reframe the Old West to acknowledge the fact that many of the settlers were Black, and to have a blast in this thrilling film, with the type of highs that can excuse some lows and that appears to be venture into this White Town full of white people! The Harder They Fall only further cements how much this deserves to be seen by many as such Jonathan Majors brings a swaggering confidence to gentleman outlaw Nat Love to Idris Elba as the tough and mighty Rufus Buck and Regina King showing off quiet confidence as the treacherous Trudy Smith is a history lesson wrapped in fast, flashy, and fantastical storytelling:) The Harder They Fall isn't attempting to be an antithesis or a pointed statement; it aims to expand the boundaries of the Western to include this jazz improvisational-style mashup of fact, legend and screenwriters' whim starts with a traumatic act of murder as unsettling as it is must! Director Jeymes Samuel's supremely violent revenge thriller is bold and bloody reinvention fix:)

Critics Consensus: It isn't as bold and fearless as its characters, but The Harder They Fall fills its well-worn template with style, energy, and a fantastic cast. The Harder They Fall is easily one of Netflix's most successful original movies. The cast do their very best to bring the most out of the script, there is action aplenty and the soundtrack is one of the most memorable of the year. Boaz Yakin’s script crackles, and director Jemyes Samuels keeps the tension tightly wound. Despite a strong start and the amazing talent on screen, the film sags in the middle before limping across the finish line with its predictable ending and head-scratching sequel setup. From start to finish, The Harder They Fall is a riveting rollercoaster ride, chock-full of compelling characters, aggressive action, and a decent dose of dynamic drama to give it that extra emotional "oomph" in the final stretch. The Harder They Fall is a perfect blend and display of Love, revenge and jealousy. There is a very deep rooted story and each character has a lot of heart. One of the best westerns in modern times! It's obvious Jeymes Samuel put his entire heart and soul into The Harder They Fall, as did every actor on the roster. Each character has a defining moment, perfectly complemented by Samuel's camera choices-- his original music. An instant classic without a doubt a visionary interpretation of a Western setting!

TRAVEL TO MOVIES: DEAR MOTHER

Director: Laurent Lafitte
Cast: Laurent Lafitte , Karin Viard , Hélène Vincent , Vincent Macaigne , Luca Malinowski , Pauline Clément , Nicole Garcia , Christine Beauvallet , Juliette Bettencourt , Judith El Zein (V)
Plot: When Jean-Louis' heart stops beating but he keeps on living, he is forced to make a strange request from hís mother after a guru instructs him that he needs to see his mother naked to solve the problem. With the help of his wife and a friend, he tries to understand the origin of this mystery.


My Movie Review: The movie is a comedy in which a man posing as a gynecologist tries to force a woman in her 80's to hick her skirt but far from feeling icky you'll laugh the awkardness! Dear Mother it centres around how fortysomething lawyer Jean-Louis one day notices that his heart has stopped beating, and after consulting a vet friend and speaking to his mother a need! As others here have said, only the French could make this movie, but not just because of the storyline, but because of the total farcical nature of it. There were many laugh out loud moments in this film, but there were also many cringey moments, and some scenes (involving the elderly mother) I wondered what the writer/director was thinking. In this day and age, understanding and portraying the concept of consent is so important and overdue, including a character who, when they haven't gained consent, then having to deal with the consequences of their actions. This didn't happen in this movie. Confused? Watch it and you'll see what I, and others, are talking about. That being said, it's really funny, but I'm conflicted by some parts of it!

Critics Reviews: This could have been an interesting movie about so many things with a weird, humorous vehicle for the plot. But instead, [Dear Mother] is just an embarrassing attempt to make light of something that isn’t funny under any circumstance. This comedy is often wacky and ridiculous, but too much of its chaos is too hard not to grimace at. Dear Mother is a consistently entertaining comedy designed to challenge sensibilities... although it's not for the weak. Beyond the pleasurable chaos of it all, the gags about female genitalia grow trite and juvenile - and not in a lovable way. "Out there," uneven and a little sluggish out of the gate, with some of the silly simply not translating or not coming across. But you will laugh, if only occasionally. But far from feeling exploitative, Dear Mother feels like a throwback to a looser era of big-screen comedies that were less prudish and socially conscious. You wouldn't want every film to be like this one, what a wildcard get roll but it's nice they're still being made! It absolutely won't be for everyone, especially not the easily offended, but bizarre act is French!

TRAVEL TO MOVIES: ARMY OF THIEVES

Director: Matthias Schweighöfer
Cast: Matthias Schweighöfer, Nathalie Emmanuel , Ruby O.Fee , Stuart Martin , Trent Garrett , Gus Khan , Jonathan Cohen , Noémie Nakai , Barbara Meier , Christian Steyer , Dan Bradford
Plot: In this prequel to Zack Snyder's Army of the Dead, small-town bank teller Dieter gets drawn into the adventure of a lifetime when a mysterious woman recruits him to join a crew of Interpol's most wanted criminals, attempting to heist a sequence of legendary, impossible-to-crack safes across Europe.


My Movie Review: The movie is a prequel we don't know we needed but a welcome addition to the world created in Army Of The Dead where precise timing and sychronicity to be all must! Army Of Thieves is a bit quirky and that make things exciting and fun competently shot and put together, the car chases, bank heist and action scenes are all decent they flow as they should:) The bits with the zombies are there but not over powering the heist and vault cracking remains to be the highlight in this feauture as well assemble team based on their expertise to do tasks! Although with this team it's giving Fast & Furious Vibe with Nathalie Emmanuel on command on what to be accomplish; sound effects and tone on the other is giving' 007 James Bond Vibe! The style and clothing in this movie are really commendable chic and effortlessly elegant from the slick coats to winter fur hat are adding layer to the characters both literally and fuguratively! It starts with Gwendoline Starr was a mysterious young woman who planned a series of heists targeting the masterpiece safes of Hans Wagner, Gwen was portrayed by Nathalie Emmanuel in Army of Thieves and was arrested at the end of the film, sacrificing herself to let Sebastian Dieter escape portrayed by Matthias Schweighöfer who became a instant international top star!

Critics Consensus: A prequel that benefits from being only loosely connected to anything we've already seen, this is a fun, light romp that leans on likeable characters rather than CG spectacle. It moves very quickly it's sharp. Army of Thieves doesn't reinvent the heist thriller, but director-star Matthias Schweighöfer proves an appealing presence on both sides of the camera. It's a likeable, generally pacey movie with some energetic action sequences (a chase through Prague borders on exciting) but its strength exposes its greatest weakness. Thanks to Schweighöfer's stylish, "Italian Job"-influenced directing, a sense of its own ridiculous nature and some fabulous performances by the charming and good-looking supporting cast, "Army of Thieves" is the very definition of entertaining... It's a glossy, new-school heist flick that's high on energy but low on sensible narrative... not to say there's nothing to recommend, Schweighöfer and Emmanuel are charming on screen, and the film's comedic notes brighten an otherwise overplayed story. A fun delightful heist movie that adds more to the world of the Army of the Dead & one of its characters. Was the film needed? No but was it delightful? Yes! Army of Thieves is great addition to the franchise! It's very fun film that you can enjoy' over a weekend:)

TRAVEL TO MOVIES: HYPNOTIC

Directors: Matt Angel , Suzanne Coote
Cast: Kate Siegel , Jason O'Mara , Dulé Hill , Lucie Guest , Jaime M. Callica , Luc Roderique , Tanja Dixon-Warren , Devyn Dalton , Stephanie Cudmore , Darien Martin , Madeleine Kelders
Plot: A young woman seeking self-improvement enlists the help of a renowned hypnotherapist. But after a handful of intense sessions, she discovers unexpected and deadly consequences:)(


My Movie Review: The movie is captivating in the teaser centred on a woman trying to restore her life after a traumatic experience and is met by a doctor who suggests a hypnotic treatment! Kate Siegel is givin' that scream queen vibe in her red dress whose after a handful of intense sessions did discovers unexpected and deadly consequences she's good in this giving her all:) I just wish the story took more turns as the hypnotist engages her in a lethal game of mind manipulation they could have use this as an opportunity to create more scary scenes instead on focusing to the resolution towards the end felt rush and generic outcome if they just go a bit more it could make huge difference on how the viewer see things it can go artsy or more indie:) Jason O'Mara is a very good actor as well convincing as the manipulating doctor sometimes scary perhaps a bit sultry in talking for possible prospects especially to bit mature single ladies! Jenn Thompson has a friend who introduce Dr. Meade in the party Gina Kelman she's the one who convince Jenn to consult to Dr. Meade who have a tragic end as Dr. Meade calls Gina while she is driving and tells her, “This is how the world ends.” Gina, whose greatest phobia is spiders instantly hypnotized into believing there is a tarantula on her, she crashes car and dies! The ending of Hypnotic finds Jenn and Wade Rollins the detective discovering that Dr. Meade is actually named Julian Sullivan, Julian is the son of Dr. Xavier, a man involved in the CIA’s project during the 1960s as who taught his son Julian about hypnosis and hypnotic suggestion!

Critic Reviews: The narrative plays it too safe and straightforward, making for a serviceable but generic effort. What's actually going on here is so simple, yet so insane, that you wish the filmmakers had explored it for maximum screaming-at-the-screen enjoyment. This is the kind of made-for-cable-level movie where a pedestrian script (by Richard D'Ovidio) with the usual horror cliches is elevated by strong acting, no-nonsense direction and a couple of neat twists. While the resulting cat-and-mouse dynamic is predictable, particularly if you've ever watched a Lifetime movie, "Hypnotic" takes its cartoonishness to admirable heights. Given the widening discourse around mental health, you’d think Netflix would read the room. But instead, they’ve gone ahead and set the whole house on fire. It's certainly not the best choice as a release to watch with Halloween right around the corner. The performances from this wonderful cast go well beyond the shallow script and illogical story. Slickly produced and coolly shot, Hypnotic is all surface. A dire attempt at a psychological thriller so mired in predictability you often wish for a zombie apocalypse to liven things up...Why is the woman always on the wrong end? Couldn't they have reversed the genders, or made the shrink a woman as well? It feels like one of those 70s psychological thrillers... dealing with that weird pop psychology. Hypnotic is anything but!?!

TRAVEL TO MOVIES: NIGHT TEETH

Director: Adam Randall
Cast: Jorge Lendeborg Jr. , Debby Ryan , Lucy Fry , Raúl Castillo , Alfie Allen , Marlene Forte , Sydney Sweeney , Alexander Ludwig , Bryan Batt , Hunter Burke , Ash Santos , Jaren Mitchell
Plot: To earn some extra cash, quirky college student Benny (Jorge Lendeborg, Jr.) moonlights as a chauffeur for one night. His task: drive two mysterious young women (Debby Ryan and Lucy Fry) around Los Angeles for a night of party hopping. Taken captive by his clients' charm, he soon learns that his passengers have their own plans for him -- and an insatiable thirst for blood. As his night spins out of control, Benny is thrust into the middle of a clandestine war that pits rival tribes of vampires against the protectors of the human world, led by his brother (Raúl Castillo), who will stop at nothing to send them back into the shadows. With sunrise fast approaching, Benny is forced to choose between fear and temptation if he wants to stay alive and save the City of Angels.


My Movie Review: The movie is a fun bumpy night cool ride Netflix vampire thriller set in Los Angeles, would like to make impression in some halfhearted way, to give few spin to the genre! Night Teeth is exciting with its nighty neon backdrop surely to satisfy the blood sucking viewers whose hunger with this kind of carefree vampire kick in as flick like are hard to come this days:) It starts when Benny, a college student and a freelance chauffeur driving in place of his brother Jay, is hired by friends Blaire and Zoe to drive them to several popular Los Angeles nightclubs!! As the night progress, Benny and Blaire flirt and Blaire reveals that she feels like a misfit who fell under Zoe's spell in the '70s and then was turned by her into a vampire. At the meeting between Jay and Victor, he reveals his plan to take over the city and also that he's killed Maria and is eating her, with a fair amount of violence, blood, and killing amidst all that still fun to see! Towards the ending in the struggle that follows, Zoe stabs Blaire and in retaliation, Benny remotely activates his brother's car, smashing a window and exposing sunlight which kills Zoe! Victor then attacks Benny using Jay as bait, and manages to bite Benny before Jay tackles him into sunlight, killing him so what Blaire did lets Benny suck her blood, and then she sucks his blood completing the ritual needed to turn Benny into a vampire' soon he wakes he'll transform!

Critics Consensus: Night Teeth has a solid cast and some interesting ideas, but they're all lost in a listlessly told, generally predictable vampire story. Nothing to sink your teeth into. If considered purely as a straightforward love letter to the vampire genre, and an expression of affection for the clichés and tropes these movies use over and over, Night Teeth can be a good time. Night Teeth is Collateral with fangs by way of Stephenie Meyer and, surprisingly enough, I don't mean any of that as a negative. Vampires are treated like one of many cliches in this underwhelming horror-action-comedy that has little charisma of its own. [Fry's] increasingly unhinged performance ensures that "Night Teeth" isn't an entirely bloodless flop, but even she stalls out as the film crawls along beyond a 100-minute running time. Nothing special, but it is fun. While this Netflix Halloween entry from director Adam Randall has its campy moments, it's just too long for its own good and would have been sharper if it shed 15 minutes or so. A darkly comic and enjoyable Ulyssean journey through the LA nightscape and playing with genre vampire film tropes, supported by fun performances. Despite limited screen time for Megan Fox and a paint-by-numbers plot, the film really satisfies as a visually stunning vampire thriller:)

TRAVEL TO MOVIES: FEVER DREAM

Director: Claudia Llosa
Cast: María Valverde , Marcelo Michinaux , Emilio Vodanovich , Guillermina Sorribes Liotta , Germán Palacios , Dolores Fonzi , Guillermo Pfening , Cristina Banegas , Jolene Andersen (V)
Plot: A young woman lies dying far from home. A boy sits beside her. She is not his mother. He is not her child. Together, they tell a haunting story of broken souls, an invisible threat, and the power and desperation of family. Based on the internationally critically acclaimed novel by Samanta Schweblin.


My Movie Review: The movie is a psychological drama with an element of magical realism set on surreal dream like location a deeply disturbing tale of sickness and the trials of motherhood! Fever Dream is a sensation that's felt a little wishy washy at first but cut deeps as it progresses the sunny whimsical treatment is giving cool calm collected vibes turning chill down your spine! The story starts when a woman named Amanda arrives in a quiet rural town in Argentina with her daughter Nina to spend a few days on vacation, next to their rented house is the house of Carola and David who's not her real son. The two women develop a quick close friendship, but Amanda soon realizes they are not as they appear to be when she found lot of stranger things! From then on, it becomes a very quiet story that lives from flashbacks and thus also tells the actual story. It's all somehow interesting and exciting, but it's also a very slow story that builds up if you always have the feeling of being in a dream where you can't grasp what's happening? Llosa's sensually shot film takes the story of a mother facing strange danger and casts a spell that feels like being dropped into the nuts it will tell the haunting story of broken souls, toxins, looming environmental and spiritual catastrophes, and the ties that bind a parent to its children!

Critics Consensus: The meaning of this alluring drama can feel as elusive as a Fever Dream, but it's steadily absorbing and consistently difficult to look away. The whole thing is bit bonkers but very beautiful too. There's an oppressive malevolence to Peruvian director Claudia Llosa's adaptation of Samanta Schweblin's novel that seeps through Fever Dream like a slow-acting poison. Lllosa's sensually shot film takes the story of a mother facing strange danger and casts a spell that feels like being dropped into the character's mind. After the first few minutes, you'll either be riveted, or looking for something else to watch. If you get on its wavelength, though, it might be the most haunting thing you've seen lately. In this thriller, Maternity is approached from different perspectives and diverse emotional states! Llosa, a filmmaker with an affinity for the unexplainable, mines acute observations on apprehensions of motherhood from the novel designing a serpentine narrative teeming with impending doom for all participants. An ominous and evocative psychological horror that will be divisive for many. A horror movie that begins with such discomfort and slowly evolves into full-blown dread. Horror connoisseurs might be disappointed about the deliberate pace and reliance on erotic and psychological tension to supply the thrills, but its sneaky and surreal genre film isn't interested in textbook horror tactics!

TRAVEL TO PLACES: SINGAPORE-- III THE SHOPPES AT MARINA BAY SANDS

My Personal Experience: I went to The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands for some third time or more I don't much recall but each time I come it's like the first' last August 6, 2022, together with my sister and family.

TRAVEL TO MOVIES: THE TRIP

Director: Tommy Wirkola
Cast: Noomi Rapace , Aksel Hennie , André Eriksen , Atle Antonsen , Stig Frode Henriksen , Erik Gunstrøm , Nils Oftebro , Christian Rubeck , Selome Emnetu , Galvan Mehidi , Harald Dal
Plot: A dysfunctional couple, Lars (Aksel Hennie) and Lisa (Noomi Rapace), head to a remote cabin under the guise of reconnecting, but each has intentions to kill the other. Before they can carry out their plans, unexpected visitors arrive and they are faced with such a greater danger:)


My Movie Review: The movie is a dark comedy-horror in which an unhappily married couple takes a trip to a remote cabin, with each planning to kill the other- This is definitely not for kids:) The Trip is a slapstick horror as the couple must suddenly team up in their cabin' situation goes awry when they encounter 3 bumbling escaped convicts who were hiding in the attic' with back and forth fighting their unexpected appearance put them on distress and constant head bang! A lot of 3 Stooges-like smacks to the face as everyone has a bloody face in this movie it was a good fight laugh out loud on scenes that really stick to the gut with so much gist they maximize! It was actually a fun movie that flies by the one you enjoy without looking the time but not a perfect movie of course they are scenes you wish that gone different but overall this delivers! Favorite character was the lead convict takes a solid punch without anyone business he was just so calm and matter of fact throughout the whole picture makes the movie enjoyable satire:) Towards the end, Lisa had the opportunity to drown Lars along with Petter, but she made a moral choice and saved her husband maybe this journey is just way to realize lover even more!

Critics Reviews: The Trip thankfully steps back from the sadness of a crumbling relationship and instead presents its chaotic flipside! There's a whimsical, Wes Anderson-like quality to the way Wirkola introduces characters and plot twists, though the tone is more Martin McDonagh with a dash of Quentin Tarantino. This is a gruesomely graphic and pitch-black comedy-horror-thriller loaded with entertaining plot twists great and small. “The Trip” isn’t for the faint of heart. Some scenes are extremely intense and the further it goes the gorier the movie gets. Yet it’s all fused with this wicked sense of humor that often pops up in the most unexpected moments! It inspires a few choking laughs, it's challenging to see, and it's likely to satisfy any iron stomachs who are up to the task. The fights are violent, bloody, all in a pronounced tone of macabre and absurd humor. What then follows is 90 minutes of occasionally hilarious, sometimes gruesome but certainly inventive cinema. Like a cross between My Poor Angel and Funny Games. A wild, zany ride that Wirkola and his cast are 100% committed to. At the risk of sounding cliché: you'll want to take this trip. Bloody good fun, and damned bloody and damned funny in their bargain!!

TRAVEL TO PLACES: SINGAPORE-- MARINA BAY SANDS OUTDOORS

TRAVEL TO MOVIES: THERE'S SOMEONE INSIDE YOUR HOUSE

Director: Patrick Brice
Cast: Sydney Park , Asjha Cooper , Sarah Dugdale , BJ Harrison , Diego Josef , Jade Falcon , Théodore Pellerin , Jesse LaTourette , Burkely Duffield , Aason Nadjiwon , William MacDonald
Plot: Makani Young (Sydney Park) has moved from Hawaii to quiet, small-town Nebraska to live with her grandmother and finish her final year of high school. But as the countdown to graduation begins, she and her classmates are stalked by a killer intent on exposing their darkest secrets to the entire town, terrorizing every victim while wearing a life-like mask of their own face. With a mysterious past of her own, Makani and her friends must discover the killer's identity before they become victims themselves.


My Movie Review: The movie is a slasher gone wrong for most reviews I've read but there's something fresh about it on how the killer's execute one by one kill nothing I've seen on before! The opening scene is such a shocker wish the whole film maintain that intensity with mask that's stare back to your face and dark grey jacket with hoodie could be perfect killer ensemble! There's Someone Inside Your House is coming-of-age that doesn't deliver on its promises with low body count, unsatisfying drama with less connection less to root for, and a lack of scares but this film has both style and substance to gorgeous likeable young stars that look promising! As one by one them the students of her new high school begin to die in a series of gruesome murders, Makani doesn't know who's next on the list & her own secrets from the past to keep! Between this and her scorching relationship with the school misfit, this school year may turn out to be one to die for until Darby and Alex help the players find their way out, while Ollie and Makani try to find Zach to their surprise they ultimately confront the killer, piecing together who's on it now wearing Skipper's face, who kills Skipper before revealing himself to be Zach:)(

Critics Consensus: A likable cast and strong set pieces give There's Someone Inside Your House a lift, but they're outweighed by its messily misguided story. There's Someone Inside Your House is intermittently effective, but ultimately unremarkable, and it feels like a product of its time in disappointing ways. In trying to have it both ways, Brice has created a messy, overstuffed parody of moral policing that squanders the promise of its cleverly executed opening. While it is easy to compare this to the admittedly more unique slashers before it, There’s Someone Inside Your House at the very least does everything on its own terms. It is not capitalizing on nostalgia or trapped in the past. It’s slasher formula 101 – introduce the killer’s fodder (most often a group of insufferable teens) and then slice them, carve them, chop them, and impale them one by one. That’s this movie in a nutshell. All its failings could be semi-forgiven if There's Someone Inside Your House did the one thing that was promised on the box be frightening ...well-made, well-acted and should keep couch-bound sleuths guessing until the end... There's never really a moment in There's Someone Inside Your House that suggests its protagonists are real enough to be worth rooting for. There's nothing inside this one. It’s like eating a cookie that’s just a little bit stale. It’s hard to complain but it's still a cookie!
