Fantastic - magical - whimsical - I absolutely loved this movie. It's fast-paced, well-written, well-acted, and an absolute blast. Perfect from star Michael Cera to supporting actor Kieran Culkin. HIGHLY recommended. I want to own it.

4.75/5

Aftershock (2010)

A heart pounding epic human drama, with its title being interpreted quite literally and referring to the emotional and psychological scars of the earthquake that continue to affect its victims even generations after the event.
The film opens in 1976 with the Tangshan earthquake, which lasted just 23 seconds, but which leveled the city and resulted in a death toll of more than 240,000. The plot follows a family caught up in the horror, with father Fang Daqiang being killed while trying to rescue his children, leaving his wife Li Yuanni in the unthinkable position of having to choose between saving either her young son Fang Da or daughter Fang Deng.
By spanning several decades, it does a pretty good job of developing its characters in convincing fashion, and the story is engaging, moving & boosted by a decent script and some very solid acting.

The film has been submitted to the 83rd Academy Awards for the Best Foreign Language Film. I really hope at least it gets the nomination.

Highly recommended to all here. Specially NE, CG, PD and V, don't miss it.

>>: A+

The Chaser (2008)

The Chaser is an intensely mesmerizing and keeping on the-edge of your seat experience. But more than that I should say it's a devastating experience...that I truly felt at close to the end of the film. The film is based on a real life serial killer in South Korea, who was convicted in 2005 for murdering 20 people. The film starts with a dirty detective turned pimp (Jung-ho) who is in financial trouble as several of his girls have recently disappeared without clearing their debts. While trying to track them down, he finds a clue that the vanished girls were all called up by a same client whom one of his girls is meeting with right now. He begins to look for her in that client's mentioned location of area & during the search, Jung-ho even able to catch that man (wearing blood splattered shirt) in an alley. But just after that the police takes control over the situation. The police suspects & Jung-ho believes this man is the killer or abductor but there's no significant evidence in their hand except his utterly misleading confession. And from that point of the film The Chaser becomes more intriguing the more watch with all the twist & turns till the final credit rolls.
It's not just another crime drama about a serial killer and some guys chasing him; there's comedy of errors in the way the police and politicians are portrayed, there's strong emotional content that grows around the little girl of a prostitute who doubts something happened to her mother, there's sufficient psychological thriller element that comes through the way the killer messes with the minds of the police and last but not the least there's the shattering finale...as in the way everything ends.

A super Indie entertainer & great horror comedy that will most probably become a cult hit like Shaun of the Dead or Zombieland, but this time it'll be for the slasher fans. You'll find hillbillies, stupid college kids, local sheriffs, insane killer, weaponry as chainsaw & hatchet...all typical slasher elements with a chain of comedy of errors, where each error results a gruesome death. The cast did a good job but specially Tyler Labine played as Dale steals the show from everyone.
This hilarious slasher ride deserves a wide scale release around the world.
