The Shadow Strays - An Ultra Violent Martial Arts Movie from Indonesia's Experienced Action Filmmaker

When I saw this movie in the coming soon section on Netflix, I was immediately intrigued especially since it was directed by one of the Indonesian prominent film maker. So I have put a reminder to watch it as soon as it's available, which was yesterday. All right, let's get on to the movie now, shall we?

Brief Story Line

A group of assassins known as Shadows of Death existed in the crime world and could be hired for the right price. One of the newest recruit with code name 13 (Aurora Ribero - Susah Sinyal, Like & Share etc) who had been personally trained by senior instructor Umbra (Hana Malasan - Ben & Jody, Kereta Berdarah etc), was told to lay low and wait for next assignment in Jakarta by their Handler (Chew Kin Wah - Cek Toko Sebelah 2, My Stupid Boss 2 etc).

The Wild Robot - A Lovely and Heartwarming Animated Movie Based on Best Selling Novel

This movie already had its early screening last weekend, but due to limited number of seats available in the studios, my wife and I decided to wait it up. Finally the film was released on Friday and we saw it yesterday in one of our favorite cinemas not far from our home. OK, let's get to it now.

Brief Story Line

A robot specifically designed for assisting people was somehow crashed in an island without any humans. The robot who was identified as Rozzum-7134 (voiced by Lupita Nyong'o - A Quite Place: Day One, Us etc) tried her best to look for anyone who need her assistance. After days of unsuccessful effort to convince all animals, the robot nicknamed "Roz" by the sly fox Fink (Pedro Pascal - The Bubble, Wonder Woman 1984 etc), decided to take care of a baby goose. As advised by an opossum named Pinktail (Catherine O'hara - Argylle, Home Alone etc), Roz agreed she would ensure the goose was able to swim and fly. 

Uprising - A Pretty Entertaining Martial Arts Movie with A Familiar Plot

Yesterday there was this new South Korean movie released on Netflix which made me interested as it looked promising with some martial arts involved. So even though I was in the middle of another series, I opted to watch this first before finishing that one. OK, let's dive into it then.

Brief Story Line

Story was set in the Joseon period where slavery was still in place and focused on Cheon-yeong (Gang Dong-won - The Plot, Train to Busan: Peninsula etc) who had been serving his master Jong-ryeo (Park Jeong-min - The 8 Show TV series, Dr. Cheon and The Lost Talisman etc) since childhood and became very good friends. When war erupted due to invasion by Japanese army led by one of its General Genshin (Jung Sung-il - Project Wolf Hunting, The Glory TV series etc), the country was in turmoil and King Seon-jo (Cha Seung-won - Believer, The Tyrant TV series etc) had to flee, leaving the people to fend for themselves.
