Another Sunday and another day for me to watch a movie on Netflix. Every year and especially at this time of the year, Hollywood would bring out a bunch of Christmas movies. This year, one of them is Our Little Secret, starring Lindsay Lohan and Ian Harding. It is No. 2 in the chart for movies in Singapore. The first one is a horror movie. I am not a fan of that genre. So, the feel-good Christmas movie it is.

On a lovely Sunday, I decided to scroll through Netflix to see what movie I can watch for the day. I chanced upon this movie that was tagged as “Leaving Soon”. As a true crime addict, I did heard of it before from Rotten Mango, hosted by Stephanie Soo. You can watch the episode below on YouTube on the real case of Inhwa Boarding School.
Or if you can’t stomach watching it, you can also listen to the podcast episode below on Spotify.
While the movie was based on a novel called The Crucible written by Gong Ji Young, it was inspired by the above horrific true story.
Before you go any further, a little warning that there’s mentions of child abuse.

This Netflix movie sure comes at the right time when the world is grappling with sexually exploitive videos of women and children. There’s the infamous Nth Room case in South Korea and now the case dubbed as the new Nth room with deepfake photos and videos spreading in Telegram, and the horror of child sex abuse in Malaysia’s charity homes. The world definitely needed this movie because we need a hero like Officer Black Belt.
And here we go…

This is the first work of Song Joong Ki that I’m watching after a whole drama of what he had said about “married actors”. I’m not going to delve much into it except that it sounded very ignorant of the challenges that women in the industry face as well, if not worse, than their male counterparts, like him.
In any case, the trailer looked interesting so here I am. It’s No. 2 in Singapore on Netflix so why not give it a try, right?
Well… big mistake…

This week, I decided to watch Netflix’s 6 Underground. Now, why haven’t I watched this earlier?

Sadly, I did not manage to catch any of the movies that’s released this week because real life calls. So, whenever that happens, I turned to Netflix, which is a good alternative. It does have a wide variety of dramas and films to watch and sometimes, really good ones that we did not catch on before.
And one of those movies is Boy Erased.
Now, I’m no Christian so whenever I do watch this kind of movies, I detach myself and try to watch it with an open mind.

So, it’s been a while… I’m not very good at keeping this blog alive. I will also not make any promises this time to say that I will try to keep the posts coming in. But I do miss watching movies and writing and I thought I should start back on my hobby in 2020.
The first movie I decided to watch out of all the movies that came out on Thursday in Singapore is Ashfall or the Korean name is 백두산, which is literally translated as Baekdu Mountain. It still exists today and is actually an active volcano sitting at the border of China and North Korea. Last eruption was in 1903. With climate change, who knows when it will erupt but that’s where the movie comes in…

I am back! I know, I know… quite a long hiatus I did. I guess Siti never sleeps indeed slept. And I have no excuse at all. I did not watch as many movies as I used to and even when I did, I did not do any reviews as I had no motivation at all.
Well, this year, I decided I should go back to doing my one movie a week and back into writing, which I miss so much. I wanted to watch The Mule last week but I was meh about it. And I’m glad. Because I chose Swing Kids as the first movie to watch in 2019 and… it’s the best decision I’ve ever made in my entire almost-35 years of my life. Truly.

Sometimes, I wonder why I do not watch Malay movies.
After watching KL Special Force with my mom in the theatres, I know why.
I came across this movie by chance on Netflix while I was bored wondering what to do. I read the synopsis and thought it looked interesting.
It was directed by Angelina Jolie so you know it’s going to be some film festival worthy sort of movie and I was right.
