Balls Up - A Terrible Totally Not Funny Raunchy Comedy Movie

I did not realize there was new movie released by Prime Video two days ago and only noticed it yesterday. It looked like a fun comedy movie and since I was in the middle of a rather depressing series, I thought it would be a nice distraction for a while and watched it last night. All right then, let's get right to it.

Brief Story Line

Elijah DeBell (Paul Walter Hauser - PlaydateInside Out 2 etc) and Brad Lewison (Mark Wahlberg - Play DirtyDaddy's Home 2 etc) worked for a condom company who were trying to be the sponsor for 2025 Football World Cup Championship in Brazil. Elijah and Brad managed to convince Senior Santos (Benjamin Bratt - Coco, Law and Order TV series etc), the person in charge of sponsorship to appoint their company. However everything did not go as planned as they somehow managed to screw things up.

Thrash - An Enjoyable Enough Survival Thriller Movie

Two days ago, this film was made available on Netflix as part of their usual Friday new movie release. I thought the premise looked interesting so I did not hesitate to give it a try. So how was the movie then? Let us find out more, shall we?

Brief Story Line

When a category 5 hurricane called Henry was going to pass through the East Coast, the government of Annieville town which was right in the middle advised their people to evacuate. Unfortunately there were some who were still in town like Lisa (Phoebe Dynevor - Inheritance, Bridgerton TV series etc), a pregnant woman who was driving to get out of town, Dakota (Whitney Peak - Hocus Pocus 2, Gossip Girl 2021 series etc) a young woman who was alone in her house and trio of siblings Ron (Stacy Clausen - True Spirit docudrama etc) and his younger sister Dee (Alyla Browne - Sonic the Hedgehog 3 etc) & brother Will (Dante Ubaldi) who were told to stay inside the house with their foster parents.

The King's Warden - Wonderfully Acted, Brilliantly Told & Beatufully Done Historical Drama Movie

I had been aware about this movie for a while now and became really interested when I read it was a major success in South Korea. But I did not realize it was already playing in Indonesia on Wednesday so we only saw it yesterday when we had the chance. It was a bit of challenge cause the movie did not play in that many studios. Luckily one of them was the cinema not far from our home. All right then, let us get on with the film.

Brief Story Line

Set during Joseon periode, the young King Yi Hong-wi (Park Ji-hoon - Weak Hero TV series, Audrey etc) was overthrown and demoted to a normal Lord called Nosan. Minister Han Myong-hoe (Yoo Ji-tae - Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area TV series, The Swindlers etc) tried to push Nosan losing his will to live by putting him into exile. Meanwhile Cheongnyeongpo village chief Eom Heung-do (Yoo Hae-jin - ExhumaYadang: The Snitch etc) who heard about the nice things for an exile place, managed to convince Myong-hoe to choose his village and he himself became the Warden.
