Super 7.5/10

"Kick ass", "Super" and "Defendor" all fall in kinda similar genre.

Technomancer
Monkey King (2014) - IMD = 6/10

The Monkey King the Legend Begins (2016) - IMD = 5/10

Both fantasy movies are good for Chinese movie lovers.. 2014 movie has good vfx (etc) and action. Unfortunately both movies not available in English language, subtitles can be annoying. You should enjoy 1st part on big TV or projector. Descent story, 1st part was better than 2nd part (imdb has different opinions). Overall watch for fun. Nothing there other than visual appeals.

did u watch MK 2015 one, that is animation though.

Infernal Affairs 7/10

(Shouldn't it be 'Internal affairs'?)

The movie is a bit confusing. Too many things happened but a balance or scene to scene transition is very fast. Well it ws difficult for me to catch up with what's happening.

Why did Lau killed the mob boss?
If I understand correctly Lau had more such moles who joined police along with him. What happened to them?

The movie is like a game of chess and both the parties are really good.


b/w felt like they took the concept of "Don" and took it one level further.
Have you seen "Aurangzeb" ? Heard it's kinda similar to this concept.

The Boy 6/10

*img.nowrunning.com/content/Movie/2016/The-Boy/poster.jpg

Can't deny that did create a good claustrophobic environment up until the climax.
Then lost all respect it successfully created till climax.

A lost opportunity.

A word of caution, the scene in poster is not present in the movie. We are cheated here.

-------------------Update1---------------------
After reading this post in IMDB board the climax kinda make sens and not so bad.
The last part where Brahms ***SPOILER*** - IMD



- - - Updated - - -

b/w how about this "The Boy"

Seems interesting.

Sairat (2016) - IMDb 9/10
Marathi language movie.
Love story with caste barriers. Unsolved ending has different opinions of people.
Little lengthy, 30 min more than caption America civil war (haha), but you will not get bored for sure..
Must watch.. Can't reveal much..
Epic love story that takes a critical look at Indian society in the 21st century.

PS - 9/10 rating truly deserved by every character of the film..
