We are all like a blink of an eye, very transient, yet our emotions are rare. This movie is a psychological thriller in which a man fights with his own guilt and how he overcomes it. However, the audience may have a hard time resonating with the title of the movie, "SPACEMAN". This movie fails to create the tension of a space travel movie and is heavy on dialogue. It may not cater to the whole mass, but it is a movie for those who have a hard time letting go of their thoughts, fears, or not addressing their emotions. Anyway, I am happy that I watched this movie and hope to rewatch it soon. Hazelnut.

Monster
(2022– )
Gross, scary. Top notch acting,
2 April 2024
I have to say that "Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story" seems like a very interesting Netflix miniseries. It tries to shift the focus from the notorious serial killer himself to the victims, which is a refreshing perspective. I've heard that Evan Peters delivers a haunting performance as Dahmer, and the supporting cast is also quite talented. The series blends elements of crime drama and psychological thriller, and the directorial style is characterized by long, tense scenes. Critics have praised the series for its performances and its commitment to highlighting the victims' stories, but some have also noted that it can feel repetitive and may not offer new insights to those already familiar with the case. Overall, I'm intrigued by the series and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys true-crime stories. But I was scared to watch it.

Kate
(I) (2021)
I need my Boom Boom Lemon
6 November 2023
Kate is a 2021 action thriller film directed by Cedric Nicolas-Troyan and starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead as an assassin who has been poisoned by Polonium-204. The protagonist has approximately 24 hours to take revenge. In short, the plot is cliché and predictable, but the slick action scenes and impressive choreography make this movie live up to its genre.
The film is set in Tokyo and boasts a stylish and kinetic visual style. However, the chemistry between Mary Elizabeth Winstead's character, Kate, and Miku Martineau's character, Ani, could have been better. This would have given more depth to the characters in the film. At a certain point, Ani becomes more vital, and more depth is needed, which the director missed.
Overall, the movie was cool and worth watching once. However, it could have been much better if the characters were given more depth and the chemistry between the two leads was stronger.

Nomadland
(2020)
Carry your home with you.
4 November 2023
The movie is very masterfully crafted the characters & portrayed the scenic beauty of the nomadland. Must watch for those who carry their home with them. The stories of real-life nomads who have been displaced by the economic recession & following the collapse of American Dream. The film also raises important questions about the meaning of home, the value of work, and the role of society in supporting or marginalizing its members. Nomadland is a must-watch for those who carry their home with them, or for those who want to experience a different way of living. Love this movie may be I'll watch it another time or few more.
