My Amnesia Girl


Movie Name: My Amnesia Girl
Genre: Romance, Comedy
Language: Filipino
I choose to watch this movie to lighten up my mood after a hectic work day. I expected it to be simple and sweet rom-com (as other Filipino rom-coms are). The movie was up to the mark to fulfill my expectations and made me laugh with its witty dialogues.
The movie has a simple plot. Boy leaves the girl on the marriage-alter due to cold feet. After 2-3 years they met again and girl pretends to be amnesiac. How the boy wins her heart back makes the complete storyline. There are not much twists or turns in the movie. The story keeps on developing according to the viewer's expectations.
The main actor and actress has done well as this movie centers around them only. There is not much to do for other cast. The girl looks lovely and boy is able to express his feelings well with his eyes.
The best part of the script are one liners between main protagonists. The pick up lines used are cheesy and provide freshness. Overall it is a good movie to spend time without any sad or hard feelings.
My ratings are 3.5/5.0

The Man from Nowhere


Movie Name: The Man from Nowhere / Ajusshi
Genre: Action, Drama
Language: Korean
I came across this movie one week ago. I found out that this movie was on the top of list in Korea so I went ahead with my decision to watch it. And I am happy to say that the decision was well taken.
The movie is story of man who has left behind his past and is living a secluded from society which robbed him of his everything. But a small kid is able to break through the walls he built around himself. There are circumstances in which kid is face to face with mortal danger. The person goes back to his old ways of blood and violence to save the kid. The movie ends with a hope of better life for everyone.
From the story point of view we have seen the similar master piece like "Leon: The professional", yet I can say that this movie has something more to give to the viewer. It offers hope, it offers salvation, and above all it offers a place for everyone in the society.
I liked the action sequence much. Being a fan of action movies, I can vouch for the authentic way the main protagonist fights. It would have been better if more fight scenes were included.
For a total time of two hours, its worth to watch. You never feel to let it go. It is fast paced movie with good action and drama.
My ratings are 4.0/5.0
