On the first week of the new year, I watched two Filipino films on Netflix back-to-back! Here are some of my thoughts about A Very Good Girl and Monday First Screening. There will be spoilers ahead—read at your own risk!
So I read three books in December (OMG WHO IS SHE?), and I blame my new Kindle mostly haha. Here’s a quick review for each of them.
“Just because you’re breathing doesn’t mean you’re alive.”
I watched #Hopeless, a Korean noir film by debuting director Kim Changhoon starring Song Joongki, Hong Xabin, and BiBi.
Ah, how do I even begin this review?
Sci-fi isn’t really my cup of tea, I admit. I rarely watch sci-fi films or dramas, and even though I subscribe to the belief that we are not alone in the universe, I’m not easily lured into watching alien-related stuff. I did pick up Glitch, however, because I liked both lead actresses Jeon Yeobeen and Nana’s works I’ve recently watched (Vincenzo and Into the Ring, respectively), and I was curious about how they’d play off of each other’s energies.
But while they delivered chemistry in spades (you should have made it gay, Netflix, just saying!), the storytelling was a clunky mess.
Okay, listen: I am instantly drawn to anything that presents stories of life and death, especially ones that create worlds and hypotheses about the afterlife. Tomorrow fits the bill, and I quickly put it on my Netflix watch list even if it took me months to actually be in the right headspace to consume it.
The short review: I loved it.
