A South Korean-American co-production, ‘Okja‘ is a film by the acclaimed director Bong Joon-Ho, and can be said to be his only children-friendly film to date.

Many such pigs were distributed by a company all over the world to farmers, and the one which turned out to be the best of the lot is the eponymous pig, Okja.

‘Time To Hunt’ is a high-octane Netflix Original crime thriller that’s set in a dystopian world. In poverty-stricken South Korea, four friends pull off a reckless heist to escape their dire financial straits but in doing so, get themselves on the radar of a ruthless assassin who will stop at nothing to hunt them all down. Intense action sequences, emotionally-driven drama, bromance, thrilling car chases – this movie has it all.

Based on a short story by acclaimed author Haruki Murakami, ‘Burning’ is literally a slow-burning character study of three individuals caught in a potent love triangle. Isolated writer Jong Su meets his childhood neighborhood playmate Hae Mi and they end up sleeping together. He reads way more into the casual encounter and starts to think of her as “his girl”, but Hae Mi possibly is not interested in pursuing a relationship with him and just wants him to look after her cat while she goes on a trip. Jong Su, like the dutiful boyfriend he imagines himself to be, takes care of Hae Mi’s cat and goes to pick her up at the airport on the day of her return. He is taken aback when she arrives with a new boyfriend in tow – rich and entitled Ben.
1. #Alive (2020)
whats-new-on-netflix-uk-september-8th-2020.jpg

People who are sick of being cooped up in their homes during the months-long quarantine will relate to this zombie siege film that’s reminiscent of ‘Train To Busan’. ‘#Alive’ is a thrilling survival drama featuring a lone gamer stuck in his house with no food, no weapons, not many resources, and a horde of hungry zombies surrounding his building, almost kicking down his front door. He is digitally cut off and has no way of surviving unless he gets creative. The best thing about Korean zombie movies is that their zombies are not the slow, mindless creatures of ‘The Walking Dead’, but extremely fast and vicious and scary (like in ‘Train To Busan’ and the Netflix show ‘Kingdom’).
