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

Stargazer - Stretch Those Sides

I have been doing this pose, part of Cosmic Dance (a type of yoga, I am assuming), called Stargazer pose without knowing it is called Stargazer's pose a lot in the past. You see, sometimes, I don't follow the rules and come up with my own stretches and poses. It is fun. I have on some music, nice, soothing music or just anything I can click on. Then I go with the flow, letting my hair down. Just moving to the music...and that is when I come up with the above Stargazer's pose. This pose really stretches your sides. Keep your eyes on the outstretched hand if you are keeping it pointed to the top, as if you are waving or connecting to a higher energy from the Universe. Your arms will ache a little but hey, toned arms, here you come! :-) For those who want a bigger stretch, it is safe to slowly and gently move the lifted hand towards your back...don't overdo it, listen to your body's complaints and respect it. You don't have to prove anything to anyone, reme...

Maid Side-Kick

I was kind of a little sad when I read the news about this - there will be no live-in Indonesian maids in Malaysia anymore . There are pros and cons to having a live-in maid, as with everything else, but for us, we enjoyed more pros than cons. Back then, when my kids were little, we brought in a family of maids to help with...well, just about everything, and we were like two families merged into one. They ate what we ate, we sleep, they sleep, we shop, they shop, they joke, we laugh, we joke, they laugh...for me, the maid I hired was more like a sister and side-kick to me. For that few years, I was dependent on her to mind-read my schedule and when I need or don't need help. She picked things up quickly and we ended up having lots of moments whereby we were in sync. Today, two of them are on my Facebook and we were gleefully chatting over Facebook Messenger since they've just discovered the wonders of the Internet and Social Media. Since we were more like partners in crim...

Drunk People Cannot Make Comments on Blogs

OK, here's the thing with this image thing....you don't want people to design robots or programs or spiders or cockroaches or whatever to spam blogs and websites. I understand that. In fact, I am all for it. It's annoying to have spambots come in and post one liners like.... Can't get it up? Try this website. Top quality Viagra for low pricing. Value discount if bought inbulk. Or the most common ones would be.... Want a completely paid-for holiday with your family and coming home to a villa beside the sea before taking a spin in your luxury car. Then you have to read this! It's amazing! Within three weeks, you will get $32,000 in your account. Within a month, whether you like it or not, we'll bank in $65,498 into your bank account. Within six months, you're a f*%#@* royalty. I don't like that....and I assuming you don't like that either, right? If you have a popular blog, you get even worse stuff like hate mails, awful comments or people who ...
