A trash of a movie - Apittha Khlaiudom appearance is the only highlight

In Net I Die, wanted 2 highlight the ills of social media fame, by creating a revenge tale emerging after the death of a “net idol” – an online influencer.

VERDICT _ It was a cardboard cliche of a story, filled with simple-minded characters and desperate post-production efforts. Net I Die aims for social cause, but is really an amateur product and a film uninvested.
The soundtrack is spare and alternates between awkward silences and cacophonic clashes. The contrived addition is at best, annoying.

P.S Rewatch value is 0 - but MDL insisted me to add some ratings on it

SWIMMING THROUGH THEIR LOVEE

●A pretty cute story and a nice drama to watch when you wanna a watch a fluffy one .... Romance btw a ^Swimming athlete & a sport journalist^

●There is a little profound meaning to this cdrama, as it has a sweet story around the swimming athlete - Tang Yi bai aka Dylan Ziqi.

●The couple hieght difference is so adorable.. There is also a second lead who goes around our FL and friend who actually turns out 2 b a enemy to the FL ... and a bedridden friend of ML who turns to b the main cause of ML's ban on swimming leagues.

●THIS WAS MY 1ST SPORT RELATED CDRAMA.. WAS REALLY UP 2 MY EXPECTATIONS , "× Worth a watch ×"

● Had de best cinematography on covering swimming scenes

Visually, a fantastic spectacle !!

// OUTLINE // A motley crew salvaging space debris has deir lives changed wen dey stumble upon a 7-yr-old human like robot. Space Sweepers is packed wid dogfights & androids, wid the Earth on de brink of disaster..

De theme & de environment dat Space Sweepers is set in had great potential, but de film remains content with its largely simplistic storyline. Within these confines however, we get an entertaining two-odd hours entertainer. De cast greatly helps wid dis, as Song Joong-Ki is good &Kim Tae-Ri particularly shines in her role as the no-nonsense Captain Jang.

//VERDICT // Generally a fair amount of fun, though with maybe half an hour of edits would have been a much tighter and less inconsistent viewing experience

Netflix’s Silly Experiment

Synopsis: After witnessing a haunting in their hospital, two doctors become dangerously obsessed with obtaining scientific proof that ghosts exist.

'Ghost Lab,' wastes intriguing ideas for cheap scares. Not without its moments of horror and suspense - and, surprisingly, heart pounding melodrama, but the movie fails to effectively convey promise of its story. The premise is captivating, but the execution and overall story leave much to be desired.

VERDICT _ SKIP IT !!!The movie is very boring. The acting is hard like rock - predictable and cheap cinematography.

Cheesy predictable thriller.....

Killed My Wife (Anaereul Jukyessda)” is a guilty, sinking suspicion, a question and in the end an answer to a mystery, cryptically served-up in a solid genre thriller that keeps you guessing, thanks at least in part to a bit of cheating on the part of the filmmaker

Jung-ho is bitterly convinced that “love needs money,” an idea he uses to justify his depressing gambling habit. Money, he believes, is the reason his wife (the gentle Wang Ji-hye) threw him out of the house. When Jung-ho lost his white collar job, he didn’t have the courage to tell her he had been fired and was scrounging for work as day laborer. Little did he guess what job she was forced to find to survive, and even when he does find out, it doesn’t seem to make much of an impression.

Only a bunch of gangsters running a gambling and massage business are raking it in. Our hero has borrowed money from the evil Mrs. Kim (Seo Ji-young), a sneering boss lady who threatens to cut off his hand Kim Ki-duk style if he doesn’t pay up. Her sadistic gloating seems more at home in a comic strip than a film, but the bitter final reveal about her — again, satisfyingly realistic — comes like an unexpected slap in the face of genre conventions.

De title may b intense & de starting is intriguing but de story lacks a punch -

12 Suicidal Teens gave equal attention 2 telling all of deir stories & provided audiences wid an avenue 2 hear de problems dat compelled these teens 2 end their life. A lot of these problems are relatable & realistic & could serve as a wake up call 4 audiences 2 listen 2 wat is not being said by their own loved ones, friends or acquaintances.

SYNOPSIS ~12 teenagers sign up 4 an assembly 2 commit suicide @ de basement of an abandoned hospital. Unlike any suicide attempt though, de assembly needs de consent of de entire body b4 dey can proceed wid de plan. B4 dey can even begin however, dey find dat another person has beaten them 2 de punch. Dey begin 2 suspect dat a murderer is among them & dey team up 2 unravel de mystery behind their uninvited guest.

All in all, 12 Suicidal Teens could be described as a boring film for some because of the lengthy dialogue and the general quiet atmosphere, but for me, it was ok. The twists weren’t very surprising neither it felt exceptionally mysterious but they were just enough to keep me on my sit untl the end. PREDICTABLE !! UT WORTH A WATCHH

Occasionally kooky `~but thoroughly entertaining thriller

A good female-fronted actioner....

Its cramming so much into the narrative dat it stumbles over itself on more than one occasion; it very often forgets its own internal logic and drags the final showdown out to the breaking point. The sequence’s style, energy and Kim’s coiled glee save it from tipping into overkill. Falls into a “tell” instead of “show” trap for character and narrative momentum; If a second part is in the pipeline, as the title suggests, there was no need to rush key revelations.Pounding, atmospheric score stands out among impeccable tech specs across the board.


The deadly charisma of the key performers, notably Kim Da-mi as the teenage Ja-yoon, and Choi Woo Shik should be well appreciated !!!

Tweaking de high-school cliches -

De film opens in high spirits in Wuhan, central China, in autumn 2008 – a pivotal year 4 de country, wid de Beijing Olympics, Shenzhou VII space launch & (more important for the teeny heroine) de seventh album by Taiwan boyband Mayday 五月天. De bubbly, totally generic tone is continued as she teams up with 2 other duncy girl-pals & ends up sharing a desk with a brilliant but arrogant male student for whom, after the usual spatting, she develops a serious but clumsy shine.

MEMORABLE LINES _ Do u remember de younger u back then? dat person back then was de best version of u; de person i am now is de best version of me; btw de best version of ourselves are all de years of our youth that we'll never able to catch again."
When I recalled my high school life after many years, I barely remembered much of it. It was like a running list with all trivial things, which was hard to salvage. I can't remember what we said and what we did but I remembered you -Geng-Geng.

Sluggish Justice 4 de Korean Corruption

A police woman & de kidnapper play a game of cat and mouse; dat's nothing new. De movie is abt corruption within de highest ranks & even if de heroine thinks dat dis can't be glossed over & go unpunished nowadays, de audience will probably doubt that. What's good is how de revelations constantly change de characters' interactions, though.

VERDICT _ Even though de tension is mainly created through de conversations & de danger in which de hostages are in, there are also some action scenes. Laudably, these don't drag on & fit well in2 de rest of de movie, even though we are clearly not dealing wid an action movie.

Kakeru, u deserve all de love & happiness in de world

doppelgangers in a parallel world...Friendship...fantasy.... love.....cinematography - I loved dis movie in all aspects!

VERDICT _ It was an amazing watch. Still can't believe its a 2015 movie!! De chosen casts completed de realness of de movie! Dey are really good actors who perfectly portrayed their respective roles.

Lessons from de story- B true 2 urself - Regrets from de past may haunt u in de present, that’s a way 2 live ur life purposely 2day.- Don’t keep everything 2urself, instead learn 2 release de pain - Value de people who sees u as a family -People come & go, those who stayed are worth 2 keep- It’s okay 2 cry & express yourself.
Lucky Naho!!! Both Sawa and Kakeru are eye-candies!

Cloning, de meaning of being human, ethical ramifications of eternal life & slick genre action

Wen has making artificial life ever been a good idea? u'd think scientists would have learnt dis lesson by now.BUT IT WOULD NOT B IF their creation has de angelic doe-eyed face of actor Park Bo-gum. Let's b honest, if u could make an artificial human wid those good looks, u’d be crazy not 2!

Gong & Park make a good match in dis road trip movie & get 2 shine in emotional scenes as well as action sequences.Seobok is an odd hybrid of a movie. Half of it is character drama and philosophical musings about mortality. The other half is high-octane action with gunfights and psychic powers.

VERDICT _ An enjoyable journey & as long as u don’t have too high of an expectation, I think u’ll have a decent time.
De movie had great visuals & effects, & I really enjoyed some of de cinematic shots it had. Certain scenes were beautifully shot & mesmerizing, & some were even frightening @ times as well, in a good way.

Madness + Speed & Race

Dis movie’s got de high speed car chases dat often lead 2 intense & messy crashes, well-choreographed street fights, & bloody punches 2 de teeth. If u came here 4 action, u won’t be disappointed… u just might find de 1st hour of de movie a little dull. An avid viewer would find dat the second half wasn't a waste of time or de repetition of de story dat was already told as some critics claimed.

Viewers are thrust into heart-racing action, den brought back down 2 reality & dare I say boredom in de very next scene. It felt as though de action scenes never really came 2 their climax, & dis could b said of de ending too. It would b wrong 2 say dat de conclusion of de narrative is anti-climactic, bcz it came 2 a quick finish wid no loose ends, but we didn’t get 2 see Jung Jae Chul really experience his defeat, & de police commissioner was all but forgotten long b4 de ending.

VERDICT _ procedural plot, slow pace and misguided ending. P.S loved the acting of Ryu Jun‑yeol....

Wanna watch a movie which is both Chinese & Korean?

three-country collaboration - Cliche Plot -set in Shanghai and Sicily- not worth it

In de first half of de film, de viewer is left really confused about de entire plot & really not being able 2 empathize wid de heartbreak dat the female lead is supposedly going through.De movie is pretty painless, wid de formula livened up by shifting the perspective from one character to another at the halfway point, triggering some revelations.

VERDICT _ Centred on the difficulty of saying goodbye to loved ones, the film is at its best (and occasionally moving) when being simple and unaffected, avoiding generic gushiness.
