Disclosure Day - The Return of Steven Spielberg to the Alien Genre Albeit in a Less Action Approach

This was another movie that was released mid of the week in Indonesia. I never saw its trailer before and had no idea of what the film was about, but the name Steven Spielberg and the genre alien was enough to make me wanted to see it. So yesterday my wife and I went to the studio not far from our home. It was a sudden change of plan cause my favorite cinema stopped playing the film after just 2 days. Anyway let us dive into it now.

Brief Story Line (warning possible spoiler)

Daniel Kellner (Josh O'Connor - Wake Up Dead Man: A Knive's Out Mystery, The Mastermind etc) was a cybersecurity expert working for an organization within the US government. He somehow found out information about aliens which he wanted to share the world. However Daniel's plan was disrupted when his boss Noah Scanlon (Colin Firth - Young Sherlock TV series, Mary Poppins Returns etc) was aware and tried to capture him and his girlfriend Jane (Eve Hewson - The Perfect Couple mini series, Flora and Son etc) to avoid having chaos around the world.

Backrooms - A Horror Sci-fi Movie that Felt More Like an Extended Episode from Its Web Series

This week there were 3 new Western movies released in Indonesian cinemas which were interesting. As I was busy on Wednesday, I only got the chance to see 1 of them yesterday. Although it was categorized as horror film, I was intrigued since it was highly rated by a lot of people. But I decided to see this by myself just in case it was too scary for my wife. All right I'll just get right to it then.

Brief Story Line

Clark (Chiwetel Ejiofor - The Old Guard 2Doctor Strange etc) was the owner of a struggling furniture store who was having problem dealing with his failed marriage and alcohol addiction. He was seeing a psychiatrist Dr. Mary Kline (Renate Reinsve - Presumed Innocent TV series, Sentimental Value etc) to help him cope with his issues.

(2026) Over Your Dead Body - Amusing & Fun Action Comedy English Remake of Popular Norwegian Hit Movie

Yesterday I got notification from Prime Video about the release of a new movie. It was kind of surprising as I was not aware there would be one yesterday. But after finding out more info, apparently it was not a brand new film, rather something that was only made available via streaming. Anyway the premise sounded really fun which made me immediately leave what I was watching to give this a try. OK let's just get on with the movie.

Brief Story Line

Washed up director Dan Burton (Jason Segel - Windfall, Shrinking TV series etc) had been married for several years with Lisa (Samara Weaving - Ready or Not 2: Here I ComeThe Valet etc), an actress trying to find her big break. Their marriage was so terrible that they could no longer stand one another and secretly planned to murder each other during a weekend holiday trip to the cabin owned by Dan's father Michael (Paul Guilfoyle - Colony TV series, Arthur the King etc).
