(2026) The Intern - The Pretty Entertaining South Korean Remake of the Hugely Popular Hollywood Drama Comedy Movie

I have known about this movie for quite some time but when its trailer was shown few weeks ago, my wife was immediately interested and excited. The film was finally released in Indonesia on Friday, though both of us were unavailable then and were only able to see it yeterday. Without further ado, here's more on the movie.

Brief Story Line

Retired professional Kim Ki-ho (Choi Min-sik - Exhuma, Big Bad TV series etc) who was also a widow, started to feel lack of meaningful activity in his life. So when he saw the advertisement for a position of Senior Intern in a successful fashion startup company named Woo22, Ki-ho decided to give a try. To his luck, Ki-ho was accepted and placed under supervision of Choi Min-ah (Ryu Hye-young - Reply 1988 TV series, The Mayor etc) who reported directly to company's CEO and founder Lee Seon-woo (Han So-hee - Project Y, My Name mini series etc). Though a bit reluctant at first, Seon-woo accepted the advice from her partner/VP Young-hwan (Kim Jun-han - Revolver, Mad Concrete Dreams TV series etc) to just let Ki-ho be working without proper assignment.

Brothers Under Fire - B Action Movie with Premise that was not Really Bad but Lacking in Execution

Last week I saw this movie's trailer (under the title Sierra Madre) in the cinemas but it did not really interest me. So even though it was already released in Indonesia since last Friday and still played in some studios, I was not too keen to see it. However, yesterday after finishing other series on streaming services, I was browsing HBO Max to search for something and came across this movie which I thought looked similar to the one in the cinema. Once I find out more, I found out it was indeed the same film. Hence I thought why not give it a try as it's very convenient to watch from my home. All right then, let's get on with it.

Brief Story Line

Experienced and tough US Army Captain Jordan Wright (Kiefer Sutherland - Juror #2, 24 TV series etc) had been fighting in various war zones in many tours. After finishing a mission, his team member Alberto (Tommy Martinez - Disclosure Day, Good Trouble TV series etc) invited Jordan and their very close army buddies of Danny (Solly McLeod - Practical Magic 2, Fear TV series etc), Hino (Laird Akeo - Persona, 7000 Miles etc) and Carson (Ashton Sanders - Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance With Somebody, Wu-Tang: An American Saga TV series etc) to celebrate Alberto's wedding with his fiancee Isabella (Laura Osma - Fake Profile TV series, Pimpinero: Blood and Oil etc) in Mexico.

Hungry - A Decent Enough Survival Thriller Movie

For the second of our movie marathon day, we saw this survival thriller that I thought would be interesting. Although it was not something that my wife truly liked, but she was willing to accompany me seeing this. All right then, let's just get on with the movie.

Brief Story Line

Sistine (Madison Davenport - It's What's Inside, Reprisal TV series etc) and her best friend Hannah (Olivia Bernstone - Fighting With My Family etc) were having a holiday trip in New Orleans. They later joined a tour on the swamp to see alligators using the boat captained by Captain Rodrigo (Michel Curiel). Along with Sistine and Hannah, there were also other people who joined on the tour like the family of Sally (Samantha Coughlan - Arcadian etc) with her father Tim (Jim Meskimen - War of the Worlds 2025 etc) and her teenaged son Mikey (River Codack - Happy Face TV series etc) and businesswoman Dionne (Tracey Bonner - Sweet Magnolias TV series etc).
