You Will Die in 6 Hours - Lacking the Suspense and Intensity to Support Its Interesting Premise

This week there was only 1 new Hollywood movie that my wife and I thought to just wait till it's available on streaming and this South Korean film which intrigued us. As we were having other activities on Saturday, we only got to see it yesterday after it was released few days before. All right then, why don't I just get to it?

Brief Story Line

Jeong-yoon (Park Ju-hyun - Drive, Zombie Detective TV series etc) was a young woman who had been living by herself and working hard to make ends meet. She did not have a lot of friends but one of them was a police Detective Park Ki-hoon (Kwak Si-yang - The Desperate Chase. Cafe Minamdang TV series etc).

When Jeong-yoon was crossing the street, she passed by a mysterious man later on revealed to be Jun-woo (Jeong Jae-hyun - Dear M TV series etc) who warned her that she would die in 6 hours. Despite her skepticisim, Jeong-yoon decided to find out if there was any truth to it.

Time Cut - A Poorly Done Combination of Slasher and Time Travel

I saw this movie promoted in the coming soon section in Netflix few weeks ago and thought it sounded fun albeit familiar. But since I was finishing another series when the film was released on Wednesday, I only got the chance to watch it last night. OK here's more on the movie.

Brief Story Line

Lucy (Madison Bailey - Outer Banks TV series etc) had been living in the shadow of her older sister Summer (Antonia Gentry - Ginny & Georgia TV series etc) who was killed by a serial killer 21 years before. While visiting the memorial site of the killing, Lucy was somehow transported back to the year 2003, two days before the killing started.

(MINI SERIES) Agatha All Along - Might be Interesting for Certain Viewers but not so Much to My Personal Taste

After playing for few weeks, the finale of this series from Marvel Cinematic Universe was released two days ago. I started watching on Wednesday and finished it last night. Without further ado, here's more on the series.

Brief Story Line

Three years after the events in WandaVision, Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn - Glass Onion: A Knives Out MysteryA Bad Moms Christmas etc) who was trapped under a spell in Westview, was able to free herself after meeting with a witch called Rio Vidal (Aubrey Plaza - Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre, The White Lotus season 2 etc). Agatha who lost her magic later agreed to cooperate with a teenager referred to as Teen (Joe Locke - Heartstopper TV series etc) to go to the Witches' road where they could get their wish after completing certain trials.
