Monkey Man - A Violent Revenge Action Movie with Strong Cultural Background

I found out about this movie some time back when I read about the box office performance in US. To my surprise, its trailer was shown few weeks ago, which meant it was going to be released in Indonesia. And it was indeed released just this Wednesday but only in selected theaters, including the one very near my home. So I decided to see it last night by myself since my wife was in the middle of a drama series and could not stop watching. OK, I'll just get to the movie then.

Brief Story Line

Kid (Dev Patel - Hotel Mumbai, The Green Knight etc) had been working as a fighter in an underground club managed by Tiger (Sharlto Copley - District 9, Gringo etc) for quite some time while trying to find ways to infiltrate a club managed by Queenie (Ashwini Kalsekar - Rudra: The Edge of Darkness TV series, 36 Farmhouse etc). Kid was planning to kill the Police Chief Rana Singh (Sikandar Kher - Dukaan, Aarya TV series etc) who frequently went to the club.

ATLAS - A Sci-Fi Movie with Plenty of Nicely Done CGI-Heavy Action

I missed watching this latest movie from Netflix on the day it was released as I was working late that Friday night. I only got the chance to watch it yesterday when I was a bit more free. All right then, why don't I just get to it?

Brief Story Line

Set in the future, the Artificial Intelligent beings led by an android called Harlan (Simu Liu - Barbie, Arthur the King etc) have revolted and terrorized the world killing millions in the process. After going through a battle with the International Coalition of Nations (ICN) armies under the command of General Boothe (Mark Strong - Murder Mystery 2, Kingsman: The Golden Circle etc), Harlan and the remaining rebels have escaped to an unknown location.

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare - Despite its non-blockbuster Status, Still an Entertaining War Spy Action Movie

I was only aware about this movie when its trailer was shown frequently in the past few weeks. And after being mentioned that the movie would be released two or three times before, finally it came true last Friday. However, it did not play in that many theaters and it was quite a challenge to see the film. Luckily it did play in a cinema that we wanted to see another movie. So my wife and I had another movie marathon day on Sunday. Without further ado, let's get on it then.

Brief Story Line

Story was set in the year 1941 during World War II where the Nazi Germans were trying to occupy the whole Europe with England as the remaining country still fighting. Brigadier Colin Gubbins aka M (Cary Elwes - Rebel Moon, Saw movies etc) initiated a black ops mission to sink the supply boat for German submarines that have been disrupting British aids. As it was an unsanctioned operation, M proposed to appoint a daring person to lead the operation, i.e. Gus March-Phillipps (Henry Cavill - Argylle, Enola Holmes etc) with the approval of Prime Minister Winston Churchill (Rory Kinnear - The Imitation Game, The Diplomat TV series etc).
