A science teacher wakes up alone on a spaceship. As his memory returns, he uncovers a mission to stop a mysterious substance killing Earth's sun and that an unexpected friendship may be the key.
It had been a long wait to catch this movie on the big screen. Max and I decided to catch the late night show at Inox, Marina Mall on Thursday.
I had read the book when it came out in 2021. I wanted to see how the cinematic version looked like. And it was impressive. I wish I had watched it in IMAX.
Max loved it and asked me for the book to read. We also loved the music and listened to it on the way back home.
Pavunuthayi is a fiercely independent, intimidating elderly woman in a rural village, known for being tough, ruthless, and blunt-especially as a moneylender whose strict enforcement of dues makes her feared by locals.
We started watching the movie as a family but finally I was the only one awake by the time the credits rolled in.
They had already watched the movie on the big screen a few weeks back.
In Shanghai, China in the 1940s, a wannabe gangster aspires to join the notorious "Axe Gang" while residents of a housing complex exhibit extraordinary powers in defending their turf.
I had promised Max we'd watch a movie after dinner. After some deliberation, I chose Shaolin Soccer because it's funny and football-related.
Unfortunately, it wasn't on any of my streaming services, so I switched to Stephen Chow's other film, Kung Fu Hustle, which was on Netflix.
Max was initially skeptical about watching a movie twice his age, but he started to enjoy it as we watched.
His favorite scene was the knife throwing scene. We had a great laugh watching the movie.
