Jailer, Jawan, Equalizer

Watched three more movies as mentioned above.

Jailer

  • This movie was watched on Prime Video.
  • I liked the movie.
  • Movie though is serious movie is filled with several comedy moments and that makes it worthwhile.
  • Movie does not feel slow at all.

Jawan

  • This movie was watched on big screen.
  • This movie is superb direction.
  • It requires a south director. Certainly one from north could not have made a movie like this.
  • I mean a north director could have made a movie but it would have been different to what this is presently.
  • Basically the movie is like a high speed train and we get to see it or be a part of it.
  • And just like Jailer the movie "takes off" quite fast.
  • 10 minutes into the movie and the plot seems to have advanced quite fast.

Equalizer 3

  • This movie was watched on big screen.
  • Denzel Washington has become like death personified.
  • Denzel has become like Grim Reaper or Azrael.
  • I can't help but remember this song.
  • In that song the duck becomes like death personified.
  • Actually the director has got all the power.
  • Cinema is nothing but "make believe".
  • If he can convince you that what you're watching is true his job is done.

Ertugrul, Re/Member, Retribution

Watched three more movies as mentioned above.

Ertugrul Season 5 Episode 139

  • Last I had watched till Episode 136
  • The series proceeds and sad scene is encountered when Ertugrul's nephew is killed by Albasti who is nothing but Mongols agent.
  • There are basically 5 parties in the conflict, Mongols, other Turkish tribes, Ertugrul tribe, Remnants of Seljuks, Remnants of Byzantine Empire
  • The struggle for foothold in Anatolia or Asia Minor in Early Middle Ages is real.
  • Worth watching.

Re/Member

  • This Japanese movie was watched on Netflix.
  • I liked the movie.
  • The creature effects are too good.
  • The stars of the movie are condemned to repeat the story until they get the details right that is shown in the movie.

Retribution

  • This Liam Neeson starrer movie was watched on the big screen.
  • Too good action.
  • Movie would have been shot without much effort and time but still it is classic.
  • It is set in Berlin but it could have been set in any modern city.
  • Worth watching once.

Dreamgirl 2, Golda, Asteroid City

Watched three movies as mentioned above.

Dreamgirl 2

  • This movie was watched on the big screen.
  • Too good movie worth watching.
  • It is totally different from Dreamgirl first part.
  • All actors have done good roles.

Golda

  • This movie was watched on big screen.
  • Movie deals with Yom Kippur War which State of Israel was this close to getting lost.
  • But US saves the day by providing planes.
  • US also negotiates for peace and forecloses the involvement of USSR in the conflict.
  • That is the conflict which will ultimately lead to US and Arab world getting closer and closer and isolation of USSR was complete as US had already got Peoples Republic of China into its fold by rejecting Republic of China in 1972.
  • US lost Iran subsequently in 1979 but Afghanistan war got chance for US and Mujaheedin who came from all countries of the Muslim world including Arab world to come together again.
  • In view from Israel side, this led to largest country of Arab World namely Egypt giving it recognition and acceptance and that was good for the country of Israel for its future.

Asteroid City

  • This is a fictional account of a city in the desert.
  • The have shown Looney Toones Road Runner as well.
  • They have shown nuclear testing and Aliens as well.
  • This city can be like a utopian city in the desert like they have shown in Oppenheimer.
  • Or perhaps like cities built by colonial power Italy and France in Libya and Algeria respectively.
  • Movie is okay to be watched once.
