1. Sakra

Hong Kong Movie - 2023

7.0
- Great actions scenes
- Pretty entertaining
- Loved the colors
- Easy to watch
- Donnie Yen is great, but at the same time he was too old for the role. Plot wise a younger actor would do (but I get that it is difficult to find someone like him)
- Romance felt rushed and unnecessary
- Editing is not that great especially in some scenes
- The plot felt very simple
- Felt like many things were left unsaid
- Pretty fast paced - almost no time to get to know the characters and their complexity
- I hated the dubbing - It was like the characters were shouting at all times
2. Boston 1947

Korean Movie - 2023

7.5
- Generally good production quality
- Acting was pretty good especially from the three mains
- A very easy to watch and interesting movie
- Typical inspirational story with all the clichés possible, but very good for what it is
- The foreign actors were not as bad as usual,
- Most Americans were portrayed like the bad guys which made it a bit unrealistic, since they felt cartoonishly evil
- The Korean-American character that was used as an interpreter could barely speak English...
- The awkward moment when they changed a very famous athlete's name from my country and chose a football player's last name to replace it... Most will not care, but was a huge foul for me (a google search could help...)
3. In the Mood for Love

Hong Kong Movie - 2000

10
- Cinema at its finest
- Music is amazing
- Acting is phenomenal
- So many different emotions while watching
- Beautiful in all aspects

5. The Mimic

3.5
- Stupid

6. The Forest of Love

Japanese Movie - 2019

3.5
- Sometimes I am honestly wondering what type of drugs some screenwriters/directors take
- Fucked up in a peculiar way
- Weird ah, but not in a good way like Love Exposure
- Film felt unreal, but not in the good way
- Felt like a fever dreams
- Way too long
- Felt like a horror parody at times
- I honestly wanted to cleanse my eyes after some scenes
- Shocked this is based on real events
- Acting over the top -obviously-
- Not even a good viewing experience
- If the plot was dealt with seriousness, we would probably be talking about a very good film, but well, that didn't happen
7. Anchor Baby

Chinese Movie - 2020

7.0
- Decent movie about family connections
- The majority of the actors did a decent job, despite the fact that the script was mainly in English
- The story had some emotional moments and tried to be realistic, but failed many times

6.5
- Much better than I expected
- Everything is pretty well done

- Zhu Yi Long
- Felt underwhelmed at first
- Great acting
- Dark atmosphere
- Amazing cinematography (captured immaculately the atmosphere of 1990s China)

- I shouldn't have watched it thinking it is a -classic- crime/investigation story
- A movie that you have to process to be able to appreciate it

- The "baby" story was phenomenal
