Sinners - Well Done Period Horror Film from Ryan Coogler With Amazing Performance by Michael B. Jordan

For the second of our movie marathon day, my wife and I chose to see this horror film that was just released on Wednesday. We were at first a bit doubtful if it was going to be supernatural kind which we normally would avoid, but it was a bit hard to tell cause the synopsis and trailer gave very little info. Nevertheless we still gave it a try. All right then, let us get right on it.

Brief Story Line

Set in the year 1932, twin brothers of Smoke the more matured one and the playful Stack (Michael B. Jordan - Creed III, Kin etc) just returned to Mississippi after years in Chicago living as gangsters. They planned to open a juke joint where people could enjoy music, drinks and also gambled. In order to do so, they enlisted Preacherboy Sammie (Miles Caton) and Delta Slim (Delroy Lindo - Point Break 2015 version, The Harder They Fall etc) to play music at the joint. The twins also convinced Cornbread (Omar Benson Miller - CSI: MIami TV series, The Sorcerer's Apprentice etc) to be the doorman, Smoke's ex wife Annie (Wunmi Musaku - Loki TV series, His House etc) to cook and local couple Grace Chow (Li Jun Li - Babylon, The Exorcist TV series etc) with her husband Bo (Yao - The Last Bout TV series etc) to provide help.

Pengepungan Di Bukit Duri - Highly Intense Action Thriller with Strong Social Theme

On Thursday, there was this Indonesian movie released in the cinemas which intrigued me due to its genre and director's name. Since yesterday was public holiday, my wife and I decided to see this together with another new film on our movie marathon day. OK, let's just get on with it then.

A Minecraft Movie - A Fun Adaptation of Hugely Popular Best Selling Game

This movie had its special screening during the previous weekend in Indonesia and only had its wide release last Wednesday. But amazingly, even on Saturday the cinemas were still full of audience which made it very hard for us to get tickets. After hesitating a while, my wife and I finally decided to buy tickets in the cinema that we frequently went even though they were not our favorite seats. Without further ado, here's more on the movie. 

Brief Story Line

Steve (Jack Black - Kungfu Panda 4, Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween etc) was a doorknob salesman who felt he had been wasting his life and decided to go to the mysterious mine that made him curious since childhood. Inside he found a unique world called the Overworld where he felt happy and decided to stay there. However, Steve later uncovered the Nether world with its ruler Malgosha (voiced by Rachel House - Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, Heartbreak High TV series etc) who was trying to take over the Overworld and turn it into a dark place like the Nether.
