Project Wolf Hunting (2022) - Film Review

Less than 10 minutes into the movie, I was already wondering why am I watching this show, and in the dead of the night. 

But I was thinking to myself, I've toughened up quite a bit when it comes to things like these...Happiness, Signal, Sweet Home, Alice in Borderland, Vagabond, City Hunter, Tunnel...these crime and sci-fi dramas and films I endured just so that I can watch my favorite actors in action...they must have really built me some mental muscles. 

Usually, I am the late kind because I want to see what everyone has to say about it...so that I am prepared. 

I will just present you with reasons to watch and reasons NOT to. Here goes. 

REASONS TO WATCH

If you like Seo In Guk, Jung So Min, Jang Dong Yoon, Sung Dong Il, or maybe even Im Ju Hwan, you might want to endure this film. 

Hint: If you're a fan of Jang Dong Yoon, maybe watch it. 

It's interesting. I know we have a lot of post apocalyptic world films all over the place now but this is a little different. I don't want to spoil it for you, but I think the writers and producers did a (kinda) good job in balancing out the character development. 

Just in case you are wondering why, the main character is Seo In Guk, right? But...er...yeah...half way through the movie. 

Everyone else? Erm...yeah...

But there was so little time and too many characters to develop, so we have to just infer some stuff. 

It's a freak bloodbath show. If you like this kind of thing, with a monster to boot, this is the show for you. I had to watch it behind my blanket. Not as many jump scares as I thought there would be but still, watch out for the silence. 

REASONS NOT TO WATCH

I will do it just straight up, without putting rose-tinted glasses on; it's violent, disgusting, inhumane, insane, and many scenes (according to me) were unnecessary. The scenes were disturbing. So, if you're like me, don't watch it. 

CGI. I know some people watch movies, dramas and stuff like this for the CGI - but it's not as great as I thought. Nothing to the extend of Spiderman or The Avengers, and the likes. In fact, I think they need to work harder at the sound effects department. 

I mean, does every hit on the head with brick deserve the same watermelon-smashing sound? When blood is gushing out a dead body, does it always have to sound like you're draining your bathroom pipe?

SPOILER ALERT - DON'T READ BEYOND THIS POINT

Everyone dies, except for Jang Dong Yoon who is an unexplained Super Human (as well as Sung Dong Il). Complaint? I mean, every fecking person who was good or trying to do something to escape all did not succeed, no? It's a dead ship. 

I was hoping, like every other viewer that there would at least be one good character to survive the fecking ship but there was none. OK, so, this is a three-way war - the pharmaceutical company, the criminals, and the police. The police were the weakest of the three. 

For some reason, the pharmaceutical company suddenly sends in some superior soldiers or something...WTF. Sso, this movie is just a lot of bloodbath and insane violence. I don't know what the writers and producers were going through to decide to do this movie but...there are no redeeming points at all. 

Not a single one.

XOXO,
Marsha

At Camp 5, 1 Utama: Kids' Rescue Mission

The kids had a wonderfully exciting day today. Now, this is as extreme as this mother is going to get. Mommy goes Paintball, kids go mountain-climbing...I think I've fulfilled the criteria of offering my kids a fun and exciting life as a kid. :-) It was one of their friends' birthday party and they're a little bored of KidzSports...that's for BABIES, anyway, they say. So, off to Camp 5 then, says the birthday boy's mother. Camp 5 in 1 Utama is located near Neways Karaoke, for those who have never been there before. It's a neat little corner tucked up on the roof of the massive shopping complex. Anyway, the kids had tons of fun although a little apprhensive when they saw how high the 'rock' was. It's actually quite neat and if I didn't feel like throwing up whenever up on higher grounds, I would have wanted to try it as well. The highlight of this party came in the form of a rescue mission. As we all know, when one is frighte...

A Liberating Activity - Guess What Mine Is....

When asked what’s my one single favorite thing to do in the world, I would usually name a whole list of things that I love to do when my work is not screaming at me. Something that takes my mind COMPLETELY off of everyday tasks and relaxes me. Take a guess what it is…. If you say ‘ reading ’, yes, I love reading (especially soppy love stories with lots of sex scenes, please. Hee hee hee ….) and I also love mystery novels but it’s not the first on the list. If you say ‘ playing the piano ’; yes, I love playing the piano. Creating forms a huge part of my life and whenever I play the piano (as inept at it as I am), there’s this tiny little girl inside of me jumping up and down with glee, clapping her hands. It’s my childhood dream to be able to play the piano! And thumping on the keys gives me a sense of satisfaction when I hear the music. If you say ‘ writing ’; You’ve got to be kidding me! You mean I don’t write enough as it is? Case closed. If you say ‘ playing with my kids ’; Yea...

My Favorite Soup In The World

For some very strange reason, if you gave me a choice between soup and fruit juice, I feel a magnetic pull towards the ‘soup’. It’s a very Chinese thing and I understand that a lot of Chinese people are rather soupy people too. Pardon the word ‘soupy’, my brain isn’t quite working today and it’s like working in ssssllllooooowwww mmmmoooottttiioooonnnn today. Sigh…such is life. Yesterday was a darn hectic day and today is another one – I’ll suffer more today because of the brain-deadedness. My mom makes the meanest soups in the world . Last Sunday, we went over to her place for dinner and she made this absolutely mouth-watering soup that had me gulping down a huge bowl the size of a wok! Darn good…to say that I miss my mom’s cooking is an understatement. She is THE MEGA TERROR cook of the century! I am biased….so? The problem is that nowadays, her memory is not very good, so, once in a while, you’ll see her asking herself, “Did I put salt already ah?” If you’re within hearing dis...
