The Prisoners (2013)

When two little girls suddenly disappeared while playing outside their house on a thanksgiving evening, it brings nightmare to their parents and makes their lives miserable. Now the police and the parents have to find out who kidnapped their two girls with very less evidence on hand. 

 The Prisoners stars Hugh Jackman as Keller Drover who is one of the father of the missing child and Jake Gyllenhaal as Detective Loki who is trying to find the missing child by following proper evidence and instincts. Detective Loki has never failed to solve a case under him and 
Hugh Jackman playing a father who will do anything to find his daughter and by any means. 

 I love the way they have captured the struggles of both the families who are victim of this kidnapping case in  a realistic way. You can see their vulnerability due to the kidnapping of their kids. This movie also captures the personal struggles of the characters and their dark sides. 

 The entire movie is intense and feels like a big puzzle which at one point becomes unsolvable. 
At one point in this movie, it becomes difficult even for the detective to solve the case due to many situations and reason.

Jake Gyllenhaal and Hugh Jackman has done amazing job in this movie. I cant even describe how perfect they were as characters of this movie. Just watch this movie for these two characters, they are amazing in this one. Even the supporting characters where really good. This movie gets maximum plus points due to its characters.

 The entire tone of the movie is dull and dark most of the time, which brings in more intensity to the movie. One of the best cinematography I have seen.

 At one point if you sit down and try to solve the mystery you can predict who is the culprit. But don't do that as it will spoil the movie and it wont be fun anymore. 

 The climax of this movie is somewhat debatable as there are people who feel they didn't like it and others who think it is perfectly fine. But I didn't like the climax so much, it felt a little abrupt. I feel when a movie which is so intense and suspenseful, it should end with a happy note instead of more suspenseful note.

 But, The Prisoners truly keeps you at the edge of your seat and gives you a lot of feels due to its strong yet emotional characters and plot-line. It make you feel gloomy through out the movie because of the characters. 

 This movie is truly worth a watch at least once. Do watch it guys it is a good movie.

Poster Credit : to the owner Recently I have been so busy that I don’t get time to watch many dramas but then I came across few clips of Eternal Love: Ten miles of Peach Blossom and I decided to watch it as it intrigued me. It was my best decision as it was so good. Bai Qian is a princess of Qing Qiu a Fox Tribe, with the help of Zhe Yan she becomes a disciple of Mo Yuan, God of War. After a devastating war, immortals pay a huge price to seal the Ghost lord of Qing Cang. 70,000 years later, Bai Qian in attempt to re-seal the Ghost lord loses her memories and is send to mortal realm and there she meets Ye Hua, Crown Prince of Nine Heavens. And their love story begins. So hard to write summary for a fantasy drama as you don’t want to give too much away. The world created in this drama is so beautiful and magnificent to watch. But more than the world building, the characters are important as you cannot fall in love with a fantasy world without good characters in it.

Full House Thai Drama

photo credits: to the owner  I still remember the feeling I got by watching one of the famous Korean drama Full-house , which was utterly amazing. I had completed that drama within two days. I know it’s crazy but that’s how good the drama was and is. It was the first ever Asian drama I had watched, hence it holds a special place in my heart. If the original version was this good, I had to check out the new version of Full-house drama which was released in 2014, and I have to say that it was amazing. Full-house Thai Drama is remake of the same Korean drama Full-house, even though being the same story it does have its own colors and characteristics. Full-house is a story about a girl Aom-am who is tricked by her friends to go to Korea for a vacation so that they could sell her house and make money for themselves. Being a naïve girl, she is badly tricked and now a homeless girl she has nowhere to go. The only house she had was taken away from her by her own friends.
