Movies
#Saburo
Film: Avengement (2019)
Genre: Action, Crime
IMDb Synopsis: While released on furlough from prison, a lowly criminal evades his guards and returns to his old haunts to take revenge on the people who made him a cold-hearted killer. It's an epic, bloody battle to search for the soul he lost years ago on the streets of an unforgiving city.
#Soft Flex
Film: The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes
Genre: Action, Adventure, Drama
Description: This film chronicles the events leading up to just before Snow's rise to power in the Hunger Games series, detailed over the course of three chapters.
I won't lie, I was a bit skeptical about the runtime of 2 hrs. and 37 min., especially after they stretched the third (and let's be honest, probably worst) book into 2 movies despite a lack of content, but the movie flew by for me and a friend in theatres. The characters and their names are just as colourful as before, and the story goes through multiple refreshing tone shifts over its course. It's also pretty cool to see a plausible early version of the Games where the setting is much more primitive, and without the overall extravagance that we witnessed in the first 2 films.
