“They look exactly like us. They think like us. They know where we are. We need to move and keep moving. They won’t stop until they kill us… or we kill them.” – Adelaide Wilson

From the director of the “genre conflict” movie Get Out, Jordan Peele, another mind bugging movie has been released on March 21, Thursday in all the cinemas.

Played by some of the best stars in Hollywood, Lupita Nyong’o, Winston Duke, Elisabeth Moss, and Tim Heidecker. Many people, including myself, has been so eager to have another thrilling movie from Jordan Peele and this time, he made it more exciting. Us is very different from the movie Get Out but entails the same suspense.

The movie is as much as scary as the Get Out but in a cringe-kind of way. This time, Jordan Peele, had given us a full-on horror film that didn’t disappoint. All the scenes are mysterious and the whole film is mind-bugging.

The story focuses on the experience of Adelaide Wilson (played by Lupita Nyong’o) when she was a little girl. The mystery in her life started after Continue reading “Us Movie: Doppelgangers Unleashed (A Moview)”

Many of us, I’m sure, has witnessed the gruesome killing and we all pray for the souls of those who died.

The attack happened in Christ Church Mosque, stealing the lives of 50 of our Muslim friends and 50 more was left injured.

Just exactly a week after the attack, Hotel Mumbai was released. (Although the movie was pulled out and not released in New Zealand in respect for the event.) I know some of us might think it’s not important but I think the movie was released just in the perfect time.
