The Wailing, 2016. 7/10





This was a bit confusing for me, the storyline. I had to read Wikipedia. I still have a question or two but its Korean horror. It was good.

The Wailing - like everybody else, I liked it but it did get confusing.
Train to Busan - 10/10, see it if you can. I really like where Korean films are going, I wish we could do as well in the USA.

The Tag-Along (2015)



Wei's grandma suddenly disappears for no reason, but strangely the routines still move on as if she never vanished– the laundry is still done, their house is well-arranged as usual, and even breakfast remains prepared for Wei every morning. Distraught with worry, Wei is totally clueless until he finds an uncanny video in his grandma’s camera, showing that there was a little girl in red tagging along her. Oddly enough, after Wei's grandma finally returns, it turns out that Wei is missing instead. Struggling to unravel the enigma, Wei's girlfriend Yi-Chun gradually discovers that the mysteries behind Wei and his grandma's sudden disappearance may be connected to the urban legend of "The Little Girl in Red", but what's even worse is yet to come...


Based on their local legend, this is a decently done horror flick from Taiwan. This is the kind of a flick that The Forest (2016) was supposed to be or I expected.

Here the twist at the very end was cliched & unnecessary though.

Train to Busan. Not a fan of zombie flicks, but I really enjoyed this one. Giving it a solid 8/10.

The Wailing was phenomenal. I drove to another city just to watch it. 9/10.

Aynabaji (2016)



Over the years, the Bangladeshi cinema has been mostly criticized for its very weak infrastructure & having terrible influence of Bollywood movies. Experimental or making a film other than drama, comedy or romance genre was almost like 'unthinkable' & nobody ever even tried before as far I can recall. But after all the years, Amitabh Reza Chowdhuty (formerly known as a popular TVC maker) stepped forward & gave his great effort to make AYNABAZI, a neat & gripping character driven thriller!!

AYNABAZI tells the story of Sharafat Karim Ayna...seemingly a very ordinary, down to earth guy who loves to spend time with the children as their drama teacher, sometime goes away for weeks or months when his "duty calls as a seasonal chef for a ship traveling around the Indian ocean". But under this carefully plotted fabric of impressions, Mr Ayna a.k.a.Ayna Vai is actually a master class real-life character actor who works as a short-term Proxy Prisoner for the spoiled, rich & ruthless people that failed to get a bail in court for their hideous crime. Ayna always takes his job very seriously as he remarkably slips into the characters of his convicted clients to avoid any sort of suspicions from his surroundings. But just when he is planning to quit from this strange profession, one last job knocks on his door - given no chance to refuse, eventually demands too much from him...

Kudos to the director & his entire team for assembling a great cast who were stellar in almost every frame, particularly Chanchal Chowdhury on the lead did a phenomenal job; when every time ‘Ayna’ tries to impersonate the character of his new client (with a chilling score on the background) were the best moments of this movie, IMO. Partho Barua as an investigative crime reporter and the young new actress Nabila as the love interest of Ayna also nicely shines on their respective roles.
The striking cinematography comes as another winner of the show. I think we have never seen our city through such amazing wide angle, bird eye view shots in any BD movie before. The dark & gloomy takes on a cloudy Dhaka somewhat represents this city as another character in the movie.

It wasn't a world-class thriller may be but still Amitabh Reza's AYNABAZI is like a breath of fresh air for BD cinema (that has been in a kind of a limbo for an awful lot of long time due to lack of originality, creativity as well as decency!) and now this gives us hope for an exciting & better future as we all wait for more genre-based films like this through a possible, rising line of young & talented film makers in coming days.
