UPRISING: Gang Dong-won slices and dices his way through Netflix's blood-spattered Busan opener, as the leader of a slave rebellion in Joseon-era Korea. www.scmp.com/lifestyle/k-...
Big on sword-fighting, but lacking in narrative, Netflix historical movie follows two friends who end up on opposing sides in a rebellion.
It plays like the ultimate anti-sequel. A petulant response to a studioâs demands for a follow-up to a fluke $1Bn hit. âWe ainât doing another. Weâve said all we wanted to say. We said no. Wait, youâll give us how much? Alright dipshits, get a load of this. Voila, our courtroom clown musical.â
JOKER: FOLIE A DEUX: Phillips, Phoenix, Gaga et al fulfil their promise of delivering a sequel to JOKER, a full-blown musical, and a film for absolutely nobodyâŚexcept possibly me. My ears are still ringing. Letâs see.
ALT: a man in a tuxedo is dancing with a woman in a dress and the year 2005 is on the bottom
I, THE EXECUTIONER: Ryoo Seung-wanâs lively sequel to his excellent VETERAN comes down with a serious case of ROUNDUP-itis, ramping up the comedy at the expense of the (admittedly expertly staged) action. And yet another psychotic pretty boy bad guy zzz. Lands its punches but shoulda been way better
I suppose that is some incentive, and I certainly don't have money to burn, but you have to ask yourself how much is my time worth? 11 hrs in a budget sleeper car sounds like a nightmare đ
This route has been such a non-starter since Day 1. 11hrs from Hong Kong to Shanghai? Who in their right mind is going to take that option, rather than the 2hr flight that leaves multiple times/day and costs almost exactly the same? Gutted, coz I take this route regularly & love to travel by train.
New movies out today in Hong Kong: STUNTMAN, I THE EXECUTIONER, THE CHRONICLES OF LIBIDOISTS, MOTHERSâ INSTINCT, BAGMAN, MY HERO ACADEMIA: YOUâRE NEXT
