Hello, hello,
January is almost coming to an end and before it does, I thought I'd share some of our most loved content- TV and film- that we watched this month!
Without any further ado, let's get into it!
The Pale Blue Eye (Netflix)
A murder mystery featuring a young Edgar Allen Poe. Set in a military academy in New York, The Pale Blue Eye, deals with the brutal murder of a young military cadet. When the local detective (Christian Bale) is called in to investigate, he forms an unusual alliance with another young cadet- Edgar Allen Poe. An interesting and riveting murder mystery movie.
The Wonder (Prime Video)
When a young girl in a little Irish village has not eaten anything for over four months, it is assumed to be a divine miracle of sorts. The local parish and some influential men (businessmen, local Lord) decide to get this miracle ratified by calling a Catholic Nun and an English Nurse to observe the girl day and night for two weeks. Is this really a miracle as the girl's family claim to be? Or is it something else entirely? A wonderful film!
Shikarpur (Bengali, on Zee5)
When three men with connections to the same ex-Zamindar family are murdered in and around the small town of Shikarpur, the local newbie detective- Keshto- is determined to solve these cases and make a name for himself so that he can marry the love of his life. To complicate matters, there is also a 'Pichol Bhoot' (Slimy Ghost), who has been robbing women of their jewellery. Are these two cases connected? Will Keshto be able to catch the murderer before more people are killed?
A really wonderful crime thriller and a must-watch!
The Glory (Korean, on Netflix)
Moon Dong-eun was brutally bullied by a gang of popular kids, led by the obnoxious, Yeon-jin- a mean girl with a violent streak. Her life was almost finished but she stood back up and, after almost twenty years, is back to avenge herself.
A really fantastic show!
Will Trent (Disney+ Hotstar)
Based on the series of books by Karin Slaughter, Will Trent, is a detective series based in Georgia. The characters are lovely and the cases are interesting. Definitely a show worth watching.
Uunchai (Zee5)
Three friends in the late 60s-early 70s decide to trek to the Everest Base Camp to honour the memory of their Nepali friend, who suddenly passed away. On the way, they overcome disappointing and complicated familial relationships and their failing health. A really wonderful movie.
Drishyam 2 (Hindi, on Prime Video)
We'd already watched the Malayalam (OG) Drishyam 2 back when it released and so, we knew the story and what happens etc. but just watched to watch the Hindi one anyway! The Hindi version is also very good and, in fact, it has a shorter run time as compared to the Malayalam one.
A really smart movie! Do watch!
The Elephant Whisperer (Netflix)
The Elephant Whisperer is a documentary short that has been nominated for an Oscar! It is so, so, so cute and heartwarming and makes you laugh and cry! It is about a couple and a community of tribals in the Muddumalai Forest Reserve in Tamil Nadu, who raise orphaned baby elephants. Yup! Why are you still reading this?! Go watch it immediately!
The Menu (Disney+ Hotstar)
A Michelin star winning chef invites a select group of people to his farm-to-table restaurant on an island. Chaos ensues! A thought-provoking, weird and fun movie.
Shotgun Wedding (On Lionsgate Play via Prime Video)
A totally fun and funny movie starring JLo and Josh Duhamel!
When a couple plan their perfect island movie, little did they know that they'd be held hostage by pirates! Chaos and violence ensues as the couple fight back to save themselves and all their loved ones.
So, those were the movies and shows we enjoyed this month! Let us know on Instagram if you have any recommendations for us!
