TV and Movie Recommendations: Recent Stuff We've Loved!

 Hello, hello,

Over the past couple of weeks, we've watched a few things and thought we'd recommend some of our favourites here! 

Let's get into it, shall we?!




1. Thor: Love and Thunder (Disney+ Hotstar)
The latest instalment in the Thor series of films, Thor: Love and Thunder continues Thor's journey in dealing with his grief and loss after the events of Avengers: Endgame. Directed and written by Taika Waititi, the movie has the hallmark Waititi wit and zany humour that made Thor: Ragnarok such a hit with Marvel fans! It is a fun ride and if you are a Marvel fan, then this is definitely worth watching! 




2. End of the Road (on Netflix)
When a recently widowed (and deeply in debt) mother decides to leave LA to move back home (Houston, Texas) with her teenaged kids and her younger brother, she never thought that a simple cross-country road trip will end up becoming a nightmare when they unwittingly witness a murder at a motel. 
Queen Latifah helms this action-adventure thriller where a hapless family has to overcome dangerous odds to save themselves from racists and criminals during the drive through the "Bible Belt". 
A fairly engrossing movie that's definitely worth a watch. 




3. Tirandaj Shobor (on Hoichoi) 

The third movie in the Shobor series, Tirandaj Shobor, is an interesting case about a murdered man in a cab and the process of untangling what led to this murder and who committed this murder makes up this movie. 
All three Shobor movies are on Hoichoi and all of them are worth watching if you enjoy classic murder mysteries. 





4. Tamil Rockerz (on SonyLiv)
If you've ever looked for *ahem* pirated content online, you'd have definitely heard of TamilRockerz, a top piracy site for South Indian films! 
This thrilling and gripping web series on SonyLiv, follows a team of cyber crime and police detectives as they try to stop these infamous pirates from releasing a big budget blockbuster online a day before its theatrical release. 
Full of twists and a great deep dive into the world of piracy, movie making and all the various stakeholders associated with it, Tamil Rockerz is a really fantastic series.  






5. Once Upon a Small Town (on Netflix) 

A vet from Seoul moves into a small semi-rural community for two months. He is distant, cold and totally unused to the interfering warmth and sense of community that a small town has. Chaos (of the good kind) ensues when he runs into the local policewoman, her peach-growing best friend and a whole gaggle of 'aunties' hell bent on setting him up!

If you love K-dramas like Hometown Cha Cha Cha, then this one, with its heartwarming premise and quirky characters, is a total must-watch! 


Have a great week, folks!
