In 1957, Indiana Jones is called back into action when he becomes entangled in a Soviet plot to uncover the secret behind mysterious artifacts known as the Crystal Skulls.
Watched this with Max as he wanted to catch another movie. Last year we had seen Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom exactly a year back.
Max wanted to catch a movie before bedtime. We couldn't find Shaolin Soccer available again. The ones on YouTube were basically clickbait. Netflix had a couple of other Stephen Chow movies. I gave Max some options: A Chinese Odyssey 🇨🇳 featuring Stephen Chow, Space Sweepers 🇰🇷, and The Pirates: The Last Royal Treasure 🇰🇷.
He initially chose A Chinese Odyssey since he was slightly familiar with the Monkey King myth. But after a minute, he felt Pirates would be a better choice and a much newer movie. I guess that age of the movie (released in 1995) was a factor. 🤷🏾♂️
I had watched The Pirates: The Last Royal Treasure back in 2022. This time around, we had fun watching the antics of the pirates. Max liked it and I feel he is now starting to learn watching movies without the need for a theatre experience and without popcorn 🍿.
Next time around, I need to convince him to watch some Jackie Chan movies. I'm looking forward to seeing what he discovers next.
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.
