Colony - A Different Kind of Zombie Movie Nicely Combined with Sci-Fi Element

I have known about this new South Korean zombie movie that has been promoted for quite some time. Though there was advance ticket sale in Indonesia since last week for today's show, I wanted to wait and see if it's playing in my favorite theater. However an urgent thing came up and I could not go there, so I had to settle seeing this in the cinema near my home. All right then, I'll just get on with the movie.

Brief Story Line

Se-jeong (Jun Ji-hyun - Kingdom: Ashin of the North, Tempest TV series etc) a professor in biotechnology and her ex-husband Han Gyu-seong (Go Soo - Lucid Dream, Missing: The Other Side TV series etc) were invited to a seminar about biotech held in Dongwoori building. Unfortunately a scientist named Suh Yeong-chol (Koo Kyo-hwan - Escape, We Are All Trying Here TV series etc) decided to release a highly infectious & dangerous virus there, which would turn people into vicious man-eating zombies. 

Normal - A Pretty Enjoyable Action Film with Some Dark Comedy

I did not realize that there was a new movie released in Indonesia on Friday which seemed quite intriguing. Probably because it did not have a lot of hype here and the trailer was not shown before any of the past films I saw earlier. Anyway when I checked the schedules yesterday, I saw that the amount of theaters playing the movie were reduced, although the one very near our home still had 2 shows. As my wife had other plans, I watched this yesterday evening by myself. OK then, I'll get right to it.

Brief Story Line

Ulysses (Bob Odenkirk - Nobody 2, Fargo season 1 etc) just got a job as temporary/subsitute Sheriff in a small town of Normal in Minnesota and having the support from Deputy Blaine (Ryan Allen - Between TV series etc) and Deputy Mike (Billy MacLellan - In the Dark TV series etc). His job seemed to be a very simple one and Ulysses just need to pass 8 weeks till he moved to another job, although the Mayor Kibner (Henry Winkler - Barry TV series, The Waterboy etc) did offer in case he want to become permanent Sheriff. During this short period, Ulysses got to know some of the towns people including Moira the bartender (Lena Headey - Gunpowder Milkshake, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles TV series etc) whom he befriended and former Sheriff's kid Alex (Jess McLeod - One of Us is Lying TV series, It's A Wonderful Knife etc).

(TV SERIES) The Boroughs Season 1 - A Sci-Fi Series with a Touch of Horror and Interesting Story

After several days released on Netflix, I finally decided to watch this series two days ago and just finished it last night. It was something that I missed on its release day as I was busy completing others and it did not seem to create a lot of hype either. Anyway, why don't I just get right to it.

Brief Story Line

Sam Cooper (Alfred Molina - DC League of Super Pets, Message from the King etc) had just lost his wife due to illness and moved to a house in the retirement community called The Boroughs which was remotely located in the desert. Though very reluctant, Sam agreed to the suggestion from his daughter Claire (Jena Malone - Stepmom, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire etc) to move as it was also the wish from his late wife. The Boroughs itself was managed by its CEO Blaine Shaw (Seth Numric - Under the Banner of Heaven mini series etc) and his wife Anneliese (Alice Kremelberg - Renegade Nell TV series etc).
