Season of the Witch (Movie, 2011)

The plot is very conventional and none of the characters are really interesting, nor do I ever feel strongly about any of them. It seemed like the film tired to walk this weird line between realistic medieval setting and high fantasy, whilst also dipping into a stereotypical elements of horror/tension with the witch.

The Jungle Book (2016, Movie)

The Jungle Book pretty much follows the familiar story of the 1967 version. Orphaned 'man cub' Mowgli (Neel Sethi) is raised by a pack of wolves and the panther Bagheera (Ben Kingsley).  Neel Sethi is a perfect Mowgli and the casting of the voice actors is pretty much spot on. Especially King Louie (Christopher Walken), a gigantopithecus who's a prehistoric ancestor of modern orangutans.

The Revenant (Movie, 2015)

It is, of course, based on the same incident as the 1970s Richard Harris film MAN IN THE WILDERNESS, but this version is much more savage and bloody. The film is essentially a survival film with a western feel in a gorgeous but man against nature setting. Great performances all around although Tom Hardy steals every scene he is in whereas Leonardo DiCaprio is very good but not the movie as some may assume. 

釜山行 (Movie, 2016)

一隻恐怖的“女喪屍”登上了開往釜山的列車。聽劇情就是一個大寫的“套路”。“喪屍”變身、咬人、對打、嘶吼、群魔狂追亂舞,一系列過程乾脆利落、基本達到了驚悚氛圍的營造。生死懸之一線的極端環境,將人性的善與惡拉扯出較為飽滿的張力。

停在了釜山,女兒,準媽媽相依走向封鎖線。走進隧道,前面沒有光明,後面也沒有光明。
