Heaven's Postman

Movie Name: Heaven's Postman
Genre: Romance, Drama, Slice-of-life
Language: Korean

I watched this Korean movie on Saturday. The movie was a nice surprise as it had elements of good drama and a purity of romance.

The story follows a lad who claims that he is postman to heaven. He carries a bag with letters to the deceased one by their beloved to be delivered to heaven. He meets a girl who has lost her lover and has sent a letter to him in heaven. The story has good element of surprise and an ending which is happy and justified. The movie gives a whole new meaning to the death, to the loss of someone beloved.

I liked the movie for its story. It is simple yet gives a very strong message. It tells us what is important for human. It tells us the methods to deal with pain of losing someone beloved. It is not a story of death, it is story of life. It tells us that life goes on and so the people.

The acting was not that great by the lead actress as she was not able to display the grief of losing someone precious. As for the lead actor, he was unperturbed by most of the events so his looks helped. The music was fine and locations were excellent. I will recommend this movie for spending a nice evening with your loved ones.

My ratings are 3.5/5.0.

Language: Hindi

I had a long weekend as Monday was a holiday. I watched this Hindi movie to spend my time in a hot weather.

The story follows four different people from different parts of the world who are called to an island by a billionaire. The story has its own twists and turns. In one sentence it is a story of revenge which is told like a murder mystery. The main protagonist is Abhishek Bachchan which has failed again to provide some charisma to the screen.

There was nothing much to like in the movie. The music was not likable, nor the actors. They all just filled the gaps but no one was able to get the psyche his/ her character. The movie had all elements of a film but it failed to deliver the same. The acting, story, script, music, action sequences all failed to make a lasting impact. If you want to spend time, there are better ways than watching this movie.

My ratings are 2.0/5.0.

The Mechanic

Movie Name: The Mechanic
Genre: Drama, Action
Language: English

I watched the movie on last Friday. It was a good choice for an action filled movie.

The story follows the life of an assassin named Bishop. He is flawless in his work. He kills his own partner as he is made believe that his partner is selling them out. Later he takes his partner’s son under his wings and teaches him the art of completing assignments without any mistake. The movie follows has its own turns and twists to keep you engaged.

I will start with the positive point of the movie and that is its action sequences. The movie is able to bind you to watch till the very end. But the issue is Statham has done several similar movies so it all looks repetitive. There is not much freshness. There have been several movies with similar story line.

Statham has become monotonous in his acting in such roles. He should try something different for a change. There is nothing much to do for others. But Ben Foster has done okay in his role of a rogue lad. If you are action lover than this movie will suit you as it is better than the contemporary action movies coming this year.

My ratings are 3.0/5.0
