A quirky mystery comedy

» I went into Netflix's latest movie They Cloned Tyrone without any expectations, but this turned out to be one of the best original films the platform has come out with this year. The film is a unique blend -- quirky, mysterious and funny. It's a blaxploitation throwback set in modern times with a sci-fi twist and is definitely thought-provoking.
Seductively mysterious

» Marvel fans who aren't familiar with the comic books probably think they know every single hero in the MCU universe. Over the years, Sony has had the opportunity to buy rights to many Marvel characters, but only picked the likes of Iron Man, Thor, and Spider-Man because they thought nobody would be interested in the more obscure heroes.
This Gyllenhaal watch can be enjoyed to the end

» Over the past few decades, we have seen Jake Gyllenhaal's massive transformation from being a Hollywood teenage heartthrob into one of the most diverse acting resumes around. Some of his best roles recently, usually revolve around high drama stories or within crime and thriller genres, like David Ayer's cop drama End Of Watch, Denis Villeneuve's Prisoners (2013) or Dan Gilroy's thriller Nightcrawler (2014). In between those years, Gyllenhaal's fun and expressive eyes became less reactive and more serious and grim. The Guilty, a new Netflix drama, feels almost like a continuation of that same persona by Gyllenhaal but with a unique and gripping story about a police officer at a 911 call centre in a high-stakes game against time to stop a kidnapping. It's a remake of the 2018 Danish film of the same name, directed by Antoine Fuqua of Training Day (2001), Brooklyn's Finest (2009) and Southpaw (2015) fame.

» While the idea of Korea and space exploration in reality may still be too far-fetched, South Korean filmmakers seem to be interested in exploring the search of mysterious planets above the sky. After we got the high-octane space adventure Space Sweepers on Netfllix earlier this year, the service recently gave us another outer-space show. The Silent Sea is a mystery thriller series that tackles the darker aspect of space missions and goes even further and deeper into conspiracy and mystery with its revelations and how this all connects to human civilisation's impending doom.

» Educating children about the Covid-19 pandemic is a critical mission. The popular Kai Hua Ror (Laughter For Sale) comic magazine recently launched its special edition KnowCovid, which seeks to demystify for kids the disease that has so far infected more than 7 million people globally.
Comedic fun with whodunnit

» Old-fashioned whodunnit or detective murder-mystery stories are very successful as novels and television series, but we don't get to see as many of them on film nowadays, let alone a decent one. We may have had the remake of Murder On The Orient Express two years ago, although the movie was kind of a flop, or there's the Sherlock Holmes movie franchise with Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr. But even those are based on already very popular characters in literature.
Low-budget veneer is film's main attraction

» One of people's biggest fears is to be deemed an outcast, or freak. And the theme about suffering from being different, hiding away from authority, or discovering hidden special powers is the sort of storyline that's been told countless times from the Marvel universe, superheroes and monsters movies, where the line between good and bad is hazy grey.
