Had a couple hours free last evening, and so I hooked on to the movie "The Grudge".

It's an English horror movie released earlier this year, in January 2020. It's one of the components of the Grudge Universe, iirc, 2004 and 2016. Though it can't be called a sequel as it's way different from the other and totally unrelated.

It's a good one, and scary for sure. I'd rate it a 8/10. Recommended to everyone, worth your time.

Sometimes you skip a movie thinkings it's just nothing worth bothering but late find out you are totally wrong. Today I watched this movie called Get Smart (2008), a comedy. Very good comedy. Nothing unique or special but enjoyable. Steve Carell, Anne Hathaway and Dwayne Johnson stars in this and Carell doing a great job as main charactor. Also Anne Hathaway is one of my favorite actresses. There's plot twist at end and that was pretty good too. It's not an Oscar quality movie but I don't think producers would care. The move had done well financially, earning $230 million on an $80 million budget.

I have watched "Splice" a sci-fi film by Vincenzo Natali. This film is likely average, nothing special. The SFX are nice but nothing compared to other studios. The plot is about the dilemma about "genetic engignering". The ending is a bit shocking. As always I leave here the plot from wikipedia:

Genetic engineers Clive Nicoli and Elsa Kast hope to achieve fame by splicing animal DNA to create hybrids for medical use at the company N.E.R.D. (Nucleic Exchange Research and Development). Their work previously yielded Fred, a dog-sized vermiform creature intended as a mate for their female specimen, Ginger. After successfully mating them, Clive and Elsa plan to create a human-animal hybrid that could revolutionize science. Their employers Joan Chorot of N.E.R.D. and William Barlow forbid them from doing this. Instead, they are to find and extract proteins used for commercial drug production from Fred and Ginger. Clive and Elsa, however, disobey their superiors and pursue their own agenda in secret, developing a viable prepubescent female creature. Although they had planned to terminate the hybrid before it reached full term, Elsa persuades Clive to let it live. They discover that she is aging at a vastly accelerated rate. Elsa discovers that the creature is undergoing mental development such as that of a young human child. Elsa names the creature "Dren" after the creature spells out NERD, having seen the letters on Elsa's shirt.

After moving Dren to a new location for fear of discovery, Clive’s brother Gavin discovers them. Dren jumps on him, and he flees, but Elsa notices that Dren has a dangerously high fever. In an attempt to save her they place her in a large industrial sink filled with cold water. Clive fully submerges Dren in the sink, intending to kill her, but instead discovers that Dren is amphibious, leaving Elsa in doubt as to his intentions.

Elsa forms a motherly bond with Dren. While studying Dren, Elsa and Clive neglect their work with Fred and Ginger. At a highly publicized presentation of their work, Fred and Ginger savagely fight to the death. It is subsequently discovered that Ginger had spontaneously changed to a male, but Elsa and Clive failed to notice because they were focused on Dren.

After the presentation, they move Dren to an isolated farm where Elsa grew up. There, Dren displays carnivorous tendencies and retractable wings. She grows into adolescence and becomes bored with being locked up in the barn, but Elsa and Clive fear that letting her outside might lead to her discovery. Clive realizes that the human DNA used to create Dren was Elsa's, not from an anonymous donor as Elsa had told him. After Dren exhibits dangerous misbehavior, Elsa restrains Dren and removes her stinger, using it to synthesize the protein that Elsa and Clive had been searching for.

Meanwhile, Dren overwhelms Clive with pheromones and she rapes him in the barn, horrifying Elsa. After freeing himself, Clive accuses Elsa of never having wanted a "normal" child because of her fear of losing control; instead she chose to raise one as an experiment, where control could be assured. Deciding that the only solution is to terminate Dren, they return to the farm and find Dren seemingly already dying.

William Barlow discovers human DNA in Dren's protein samples and arrives to investigate. Elsa tells Barlow that Dren is dead and buried behind the barn. However, Dren, having metamorphosed into a male, rises from the grave and attacks the group, killing Barlow and Gavin before raping Elsa. Clive attacks Dren to save Elsa, but Dren overpowers him. Elsa intervenes and is about to kill Dren, but she hesitates, which allows Dren to kill Clive. Angered, Elsa then mercilessly kills Dren with a rock, before breaking down after Clive was dead.

Elsa is later informed that Dren's body contained numerous biochemical compounds for which the company began filing patents. Joan offers Elsa, who is traumatized by her ordeals and now visibly pregnant with Dren's baby, a large sum of money to go through with the pregnancy, which Elsa accepts.

I believe this is not a movie but a series. I just watched The Gifted, a Thailand series, from GMMTV. They upload all of their series video in YouTube, which surprise me how they deliver the series. I think they are hoping for the adsense from YouTube instead of selling it to third party. I think it's a nice from them.

Anyway, this series is about a school where there is some Gifted students with unique ability. They're being specialized by their school since they may help their school to increase school's budget (which probably get corrupted by their headmaster? ). It's 13 episodes and I really enjoyed it. The second season currently on-going but cannot be watched by Southeast Asian somehow. I usually use India VPN to watch the second season series.

"The film is based on a true story of the 9th company during the Soviet invasion in Afghanistan in the 1980's. Young Soviet Army recruits are sent from a boot camp into the middle of the war in Afghanistan. The action is not like a boot camp at all. It is very bloody and dirty. The 9th company is defending the hill 3234. They are hopelessly calling for help."

A well known Russian movie that I missed out for so long.

Just got to watch a movie called "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" yesterday.

Not only I like Marielle Heller so much, but the story of Lloyd with his father also impressed me a lot.

A very relaxing movie indeed. What a beautiful day to watch it.

Watched The Hustle (2019). It's a comedy and quite decent movie. Anne Hathaway is one of my favorite Hollywood actresses. The movie haven't got good ratings but can't blame is since it doesn't have anything unique. Nothing special there. Rebel Wilson does her usual screamings and Hathaway plays the usual elegant lady role. nothing much to say about the movie. I would give it 6/10.
