The Silent Sea, Ertugrul Episode 32, The Predator, Pushpa The Rise

Watched four movies and series as mentioned above.

The Silent Sea

  • This South Korean eight part series is must watch.
  • This was watched on Netflix
  • Twists and turns are there in the movie.
  • Actually earth suffers from loss of water and moon has water which is different.
  • The lunar water is like a virus and it has the power to multiply infinitely.
  • If brought to earth it can flood the earth in addition to killing the people who get in contact with it.
  • And that is what the story is all about.
  • There will be sequel as in this the water does not reach the earth.

Ertugrul Episode 32

  • Last I had watched till Episode 29
  • This was watched on Netflix
  • Till Episode 32 now both Sancar Bey and Bahadir Bey are dead.
  • Bahadir Bey is beheaded and like we have seen in the series beheading is reserved as a punishment for the worst of the villians the traitors.
  • Starting with Kurdoglu, Kocabas, Ural Bey, etc, beheading is reserved for the worst of the enemies, the traitors.
  • Now that Bahadir Bey is dead, the story might take a new turn. 
  • Will proceed soon and update

The Predator (2018)

  • I had seen the movie earlier but still I rewatched it.
  • This was watched on Disney+ Hotstar.
  • Glad I did because came to know that it is quite a well made movie.
  • We cannot see humans lose to Predators in the movies of the Predator.
  • This is Hollywwod and American movie, humans will always triumph.
  • And that is what the movie shows.
  • If there is a sequel, they will show a story where humans wage war with invading Preadators and (eventually) win.
  • We cannot see otherwise (in a movie). That is known.
  • And in that sense this is a very well made movie. 
  • As it lives by that principle that humans will eventually triumph

Pushpa The Rise Part 1

  • This movie was watched on Amazon Prime Video.
  • I liked the movie.
  • Very well made movie.
  • Allu Arjun is fantastic.
  • Allu Arjun is like an institution.
  • The movie is too much similar to KGF movie.
  • There also the hero is good but does illegal work like smuggling.
  • Hero has a mother and a painful history.
  • And hero has brush with law.
  • And both sequels are pending.
  • But law will eventually triumph we can say that.
  • Both in Pushpa and KGF sequels we may see that hero will have to compromise and join will lw else they will face painful end in the hands of law.

Atrangi Re, MIB International, Don't Breathe 2

Watched three movies as mentioned above.

Atrangi Re

  • This movie was watched on Disney + Hotstar.
  • I liked the movie.
  • Movie is like a tragedy story. 
  • There is tragedy all around.
  • Akshay Kumar is actually the father of Sara Ali Khan who has been killed by Sara's mother family.
  • It is a case of "honour killing".
  • Their intention must not have been to kill Sara's mother.
  • But she also dies.
  • Sara doesn't know what hit her. Like shown in the movie she is in the audience where the tragedy happens and then she manufactures the fact that her father is still alive.
  • Sara's mother family probably feel the guilt and so they raise her and take care of her.
  • But their intention is to marry her off  as soon as possible. Probably to an outsider and that happens to be Dhanush.
  • And that is good for Sara as he really comes to like her.
  • And more plus point is that he is from the medical field with a lot of friends who can help him in the process.
  • Dhanush is the man who can replace imaginary Akshay Kumar the father of Sara Ali Khan.
  • Movie is worth watching

MIB International

  • This movie was watched on Netflix.
  • The final conclusion is that world gets saved by MIB folks.
  • In between there is lot of action, chases and comedy.
  • Also special effects which feel like real.
  • Definitely worth watching.

Don't Breathe 2

  • This movie was watched on Netflix.
  • Too many people get killed in the movie both by the blind veteran and villians.
  • This movie has no relation to Part 1 of the series Don't Breathe.
  • One can watch this as a stand alone movie.
  • Whether there will be Part 3 or not is now the main unresolved mystery of the movie.

Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui, Ertugrul Episode 29

 Watched the above movies and series as mentioned.

Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui

  • This movie was watched on Netflix.
  • I liked the movie.
  • I remember when Cable TV had come new in India and they were showing uncensored movies, the movie premiered starring Michael Caine Dressed to Kill
  • That movie was something. It was something which Indian audiences could not ever digest. Even now it  would be too much for the Indian psyche.
  • This movie Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui comparatively has a "soft landing" on Indian psyche and I am sure family can watch it together unlike Dressed to Kill.

Ertugrul Season 4 Episode 29

  • Last I had watched till Episode 24
  • From Episode 24 till 29 a lot has happened.
  • I must mention here. In Episode 23 or 24, Ertugrul changes his hairstyle.
  • Earlier he used to have long hair and make plaits and braids
  • Earlier Ertugrul used to make his jair like Mongols and Chinese.
  • Now from Season 4 Episode 24 he cuts his hair and appears little blonde not fully blonde.
  • Maybe after interacting with Europeans this has happened.
  • Turkey is the cross roads of culture.
  • From Chinese to Arabs to Persians to Central Asian to Europeans Turks are in the crossroads of civilisation.
  • Even if we look at the series the characters are similar to Chinese or even Japanese Samurai culture.
  • Love of swords and the way tents are used and shown as place of dwelling is similar to Middle Age and Ancient Chinese and Japanese and Mongols.
  • Use of horses is also tremendous in Ertugrul. Real horse riding is shown.
  • It is like horses were the legs in middle ages. That must be common across cultures including Mongols, Chinese, Indian, European and Arabs.
  • The makers must have seen a lot of Hong Kong Kung Fu movies of 70's and 80's.
  • The dressing is lot similar.
  • Also the love of swords and code of honour is shown in the series which is similar to Samurai culture.
  • By Episode 29 in Season 4, a full blown coup has happened and Bahadir Bey has taken over the Cavader Bey tribe.
  • Twice the raid on Karachisar castle has failed.
  • Turgut Bey and Aslahan Hatun poisoning, Gunduz kidnap and rescue, ambush by Sanchar Bey on Ertugrul, the raid has been interrupted by one reason or the other.
  • We have to understand that because if the Karachisar castle falls early then the seies will also end early.
  • There will not be 60 more episodes to watch.

Dont Look Up, Bob Biswas, Marakkar, Asuran, Ertugrul Episode 24, The Last Duel

Watched several movies and series as mentioned above.

Don't Look Up

  • This original Neflix movie was watched on Netflix.
  • I liked the movie.
  • The ending is truly a comedic one.
  • People go for light years and travel for 20700 years but still they get killed by dinosaur like bird creatures.
  • The world is destroyed anyway. But what happens to survivors is really funny.

Bob Biswas

  • This movie was watched on Tata Sky Binge box on TV which has tie up with Zee5 among others.
  • Movie is great mainly due to the Abhishek Bachchan role.
  • Any other actor even original Bob Biswas would have essayed the role but the "box office appeal" would not have been that much.

Marakkar:Lion of Arabian Sea

  • Movie was watched on Amazon Prime Video.
  • By the first half of the movie the Portugese are defeated in the high seas and Marakkar and the Kingdom of Zamorin are leading peaceful lives.
  • But then Portugese exploit weakness and are back with a vengeance and second half deals with how the way eventually plays out.
  • Movie is worth watching again.
  • I watched the original Malyalam version. We can watch the Hindi one.

Asuran

  • This movie was watched on Prime Video.
  • Movie is too action packed and very slight disjointed from reality.
  • But Jai Bheem movie showed reality as it is.
  • This movie adds a little bit of spice but still is must watch.
  • Dhanush is excellent.
  • I can be sure that any Dhanush movie one can watch with confidence and it would be bound to be good.

Ertugrul Season 4 Episode 24

  • Last I had watched till Episode 11
  • Till Episode 11, Ertugrul just emerged from shadows and injury and being captured a slave.
  • But now till Episode 24 a lot of things have happened.
  • The truly evil side of Emir Sadettin has emerged.
  • So in addition to Commander Ares, Sadettin Kopek needs to be dealt with.
  • Also Bahadir Bey has emerged as a great counter to Ertugrul dominance.
  • So what we find that Turks face struggles both internal and external.
  • If Turks remain united then nobody can defeat them we find.
  • But due to internal differences they weaken and that is a big issue in any country why just the Turks.

The Last Duel

  • This movie was watched on Disney + Hotstar.
  • This is a worth watching movie.
  • It was good that Matt Damon emerged winner in the duel else great punishment awaited the wife of Matt Damon.
  • The Adam Driver character perishes but he appears innocent till the end.
  • Even in the last moment he claims innocence of the attempt on Matt Damon's wife.
  • At least there is no collateral damage.
  • We can think like that.

Dune, Nobody Sleeps 2, Ertugrul Season 4 Episode 11

Watched four movies/series as mentioned in the subject line.

Dune

  • This movie was watched at PVR Vega City IMAX 3D screen.
  • Movie is worth watching mainly due to visual and sound effects.
  • It leaves you asking for more.
  • Too bad it is just a movie and not web series.
  • Now you have to wait till 2023 for the sequel.

Nobody Sleeps in the Woods Tonight 2

  • This Polish movie was watched on Netflix.
  • Movie is worth watching due to the fact that it takes a funny detour in the sequel.
  • It is not scary anymore.
  • And the person who survives in the original becomes one of the "infected villian"

Ertugrul Season 4 Episode 11

  • This series finally takes shape in Season 4 in Episode 11 when Ertugrul returns to his "Obama" or tribe.
  • Man those scenes are just priceless
  • Last I had seen till Episode 2
  • Upto Episode 11 now Ertugrul has already realised who did the cowardly ambush attack on him and that is Ares.
  • Now series takes an interesting turn and becomes worth watching more and more.
