Whalefall - An Interesting Survival Thriller Movie in Unexpected Location

For our second movie marathon, we saw this one that was released on Wednesday. It was something that interest me due to its premise. It was playing in the cinema very near our home so even though we chose the 5 PM show, it was not inconvenient to return home after it was finished. All right then, let's just get on with it.

A year after the death of his father Mitt (Josh Brolin - Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, Sicario: Day of the Soldado etc), Jay (Austin Abrams - Resident Evil 2026, Do Revenge etc) returned to his home town. He was reunited with his mother Zara (Elisabeth Shue - The Boys TV series, Leaving Las Vegas etc) and his two older sisters Eva (Jane Levy - Castle Rock TV series, Monster Trucks etc) and Nan (Emily Rudd - One Piece live action series, Fear Street Part 2: 1978 etc).

Apparently Jay had a personal mission of searching for his father's remains in the sea. While doing so, he was somehow gotten swallowed by a sperm whale and with less than an hour of oxygen, Jay had to find way to save himself.

After playing in the cinemas for two days, I finally got the chance to see this one today. As I was busy in the past few days, I was also playing catch up and decided for movie marathon with this being the first. In fact I began writing this while waiting for the next film though I only finished it afterwards. Without further ado, here's more on the movie.

After the world tournament in 1987, Ryu had gone to seclusion while Ken became more known in various advertisements and managed by his friend Dan (Andrew Schulz - Upgraded, Benders TV series etc).

(2026) Animals - A Crime Thriller Drama with Interesting Premise but Lack Strong Performance to Make it Memorable

This movie was released by Netflix last Friday and I actually have seen it on that same day, but I just did not have the time to write about it till today. It was something that I was intrigued after reading its brief synopsis. OK then, I'll just get right on with the movie.
