Monica Graphic Novel Review – Twisty As Hell

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Woah, this didn’t feel like a graphic novel that’s just 106 pages long, it keep winding down a long path which often makes you feel lost at time, but also makes you keep wanting to go further and further, until you almost forget how things started. Although, the first few pages of “Monica” by Daniel Clowes is extremely different in setting, story, conversations from the rest of the novel – it begins with two American soldiers discussing their futures when they get back home from the war. What unfolds next is a series of chapters, featuring different individuals, each somehow connected to the primary protagonist – Monica.

Monica is in constant search for something to complete her life, and in some parts, the story is reminiscent of Clowes’ work “Patience,” a trippy time-travel story about a man attempting to reconnect with his girlfriend. However, “Monica,” despite its numerous sub-plots, is more coherent and well-put-together. So, before we meet Monica, we meet her mother Penny, a beautiful young woman who has an affair with an artist and discovers the liberating, free life of a hippie. This leads her to break off her engagement to a boyfriend who would have offered her a stable life, thrusting herself into a life of promiscuity and uncertainty. Penny opens a small artisan candle shop and gives birth to Monica, who survives several of her mother’s boyfriends until she is finally abandoned at her grandparents’ doorstep. Monica grows up to become a successful woman, but her quest to find her mother and unknown father leads her on a bizarre journey of her own.

Spanning several decades, from the 60s to the age of fast wifi, “Monica” is one weird, weird ride, which includes aliens, bizarre humans, cults, dead-people talking and what-not. It’s a meandering novel, which exists in a time-capsule despite the changing timelines courtesy Daniel Clowes distinct art style. A lot of his character designs may seem repetitive, but they perfectly capture the varying moods of the characters, particularly dread and terror. Some bits of the novel felt like reading an American version of a Junji Ito horror manga, especially the sections pertaining to a wacky cult Monica encounters.

Monica’s way of coping with the death of her grandparents was the most poignant bit in this novel for me, which is explored with a supernatural twist, that could also be interpreted as a distorted manifestation of a fragile mind. Clowes also directly addresses the protagonist’s mental health issues and Monica is seen having sessions with a therapist quite a few times, which was great addition in the largely other-worldy novel.

If it weren’t for some of the modern motifs that appeared through the latter half of the story, like Facebook, google searches, video calls on Skype, you’d think “Monica” was entirely taking place in a bygone era. However, in this chaotic graphic novel, Daniel Clowes cleverly illustrates just how twisted, crazy, and vulnerable people are throughout the ages, showing that technological advances do little to change our mental state and needs.

The ending was abrupt; it hits you out of nowhere with a terrifying twist, which, honestly, was satisfying for a horror buff like me. The climax also ties up one of the most disjointed chapters in the novel that featured a character who didn’t have anything to do with Monica, that’s until the end comes.

Ten with a Flag – Short Film Review

“They’re a solid 10, but…”

Complete that sentence with anything that’s a little off-putting but won’t be a deal-breaker when you are looking to date somebody. If the internet is to be believed, that’s what you’d call a “beige flag”, which unlike a “red flag”, is a trait that might not be desirable but is tolerable. Now, imagine living in a society where everybody is officially assigned a rating right from birth, with 10 being the perfect score. The mere thought of it might make some queasy, and director Vasco Alexandre manages to unsettle viewers by bringing this imagined scenario to life in the short film ‘Ten With a Flag’.

Based on a story by American author Joseph Paul Haines, the film is set in a dystopian world where governments can accurately predict the intellectual capacity of newborns while they are still in the womb. So when a couple Gemma (Julie Martis) & Jack (Bryan Moriarty) learns their baby is going to be a ten, they are thrilled, but then they are informed that it comes with a “flag”. What comes next is a life the couple isn’t prepared for.

The film opens with Gemma and Jack heading for a meeting with ‘human services’, where an enthusiastic officer (Julia Winwood) receives them and walks them through what it means to be parents of a potential genius. Julia Winwood exudes an eerie, cheery energy akin to that of Professor Dolores Umbridge from Harry Potter; so she looks like she’d treat you to muffins, but would instead bleed you out. Julie Martie and Bryan Moriarty, on the other hand, embody their characters, both rated 6, portraying middling, shifty individuals symbolizing common citizens passively complicit in oppressive regimes.

With a crisp 15-minute runtime, “Ten with a Flag” may seem slightly confusing at first glance, but it ultimately unfolds as a story about how governments use obfuscation to keep their citizens in line. The cinematography is stark and striking, with some shots featuring aesthetic symmetry, adding to a subtle sense of terror throughout the tale. Joseph Paul Haines carefully curates all audio-visual elements, including a small interlude of a stunning ballet performance. All this perfection creates an anticipation that something is bound to go wrong; it’s foreshadowing done well. The climax is open-ended and teasingly tragic, leaving viewers with plenty of food for thought.

Add the film to your list, especially if you are a dystopian fiction fan.

My Dear Gangster Oppa Review – Soft Gangsta Romance

University student Guy is hopelessly in love with his best friend, Wahl. To escape the loneliness of his one-sided crush, he becomes a gamer and befriends a player called Yuri, who takes on the role of a kind healer in his favorite game but is actually a handsome gangster called Thiu in real life. When the two meet for real during their gamer group meet-up, the possibility of love looms in the air.

Based on a Korean webtoon called “The Ideal Relationship,” the 2023 Thai series “My Dear Gangster Oppa” has been directed by Dome Jade Bunyoprakarn and is a rather soft-silly romance starring Ping Krittanun Aunchananun and Meen Nichakoon Khajornborirak as Guy and Thiu, respectively. The lead actors were last seen together in “Ai Long Nhai” and look fantastic together, so half the battle to make the series a pleasant watch is won with the pairing. While Ping is adorable and endearing as the shy college student Guy, Meen portrays a charismatic yet tough gangster lead; together, their chemistry works well for the romantic storyline.

Spanning eight episodes, “My Dear Gangster Oppa” makes quite a few changes to the original source material, most of which is for the better. Winner Tanatat Kunaneksin is Wahl, Guy’s best friend, who is dating somebody, but it becomes quite apparent that he too might have more than platonic feelings for his friend. However, thanks to his own insecurities, Guy fails to pick up the hints. Interestingly, Winner and Ping have pretty good onscreen chemistry too, so some viewers might get divided over who they should side with – the best friend or the gangster?

Guy’s other gamer friends are fun too, with Muffin (Yoghurt Yosita Wasuphiruk) being the most comedic of them all, she is a young girl who loves to cosplay and lives in her own bubble. A secondary romantic sub-plot involving Thiu’s sidekick Tul (Tinn Boonpongthong) was completely unnecessary. Tommy Charupob Ruangsuwan plays the caricature-like villain Kenji, who works for the same mob boss as Thiu but hates the fact that Thiu seems to wield more power. While Tommy is actually quite excellent as the morally twisted Kenji, complete with a larger-than-life personality that pops out of a comic book, the character is terribly written, with a harebrained backstory.

The few action scenes in the series were poorly choreographed, and the limited budget becomes clearly evident through the basic set pieces in the tale. The writers should’ve either lessened the focus on Thiu’s gangster life or simply overhauled the script and made him a small time thug who falls in love with a cute college student. But Meen Nichakoon Khajornborirak makes a pretty good lead for a gangster romantic anti-hero, and it’s easy to imagine him in more series like the Thai show KinnPorsche, for example.

Holiday in the Vineyards Movie Review

Rating: 3 out of 5.

So the romance was weak in this wine-themed film, but a lot of other ingredients make this familiar sounding tale an interesting holiday watch. Josh Swickard plays wealthy brat Carter Baldwyn, who wastes away his time with women, contributes little to a successful family business, and has his mother saved as “The Bank” on his phone. So when his mom sends him on a mission to find out details of a vineyard sale, he hides his identity and finds himself falling for Valentina Espinoza (Sol Rodriguez), who is trying to keep the vineyard out of the hands of big businesses like Baldwyn Wines.

Directed by Alex Ranarivelo, written by Cecilia Franco and David Zanardi, the 2023 Christmas movie “Holiday in the Vineyards” follows a very predictable trajectory, but is made cute by charming performances and some fun to watch onscreen friendships. In-fact, despite being essential a romantic holiday film, the love story is its weakest link. The cinematography simple, and the sets aren’t too Christmas-y, although the second-half does have a bright festive mood due to a wine fair.

Sol Rodriguez is instantly likable as widower Valentina Espinoza, who has two kids. Sol brought an easy casual vibe to her character, and has a warm open smile and reminded me of a young Salma Hayek in a few scenes. Carly Jibson plays Valentina’s flirty best-friend Cindy and their “girl talk” banter were some of the sweetest moments in “Holiday in the Vineyards”, like a scene where the women are curled up with wine on a sofa, discussing love, loss and giving life second chances.

Valentina’s kids are Santiago (Carlos Solórzano), the younger one who struggles with making friends and still misses his dad, while the older Fernando (Julian Rangel) is a lot more confident and content. The way playboy Carter Baldwyn wins over the Espinoza family was very clichéd and unconvincing, his character’s growth unfolds like a sudden multiple-personality-disorder switch instead of a genuine change of heart. Instead, his newfound friendship with local shop owner Moe Walker (Omar Gooding), who likes to make wine in his garage, was more entertaining to watch. Omar Gooding is jovial as the friendly Moe, representative of the kind of people who still don’t mind lending a hand to strangers in town. Moe’s character is like a fresh reminder on the existence of helpful kindred folks.

“Holiday in the Vineyards” is a feel-good film which bats for small businesses, new friendships and community spirit. For a film tagged under the “romance” genre, the lead couple don’t have a lot of scenes or cozy moments, so there isn’t much chemistry between them. So keep that in mind before you decide to watch the film.

Rating: 6 on 10. It’s available to stream on Netflix.

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 episode 21 Review

Hope you are here after Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 episode 20. Minor spoilers ahead

Mahito might be having a blast annihilating one Jujutsu sorcerer after the other, but Todo is also having a heck of time with his boogie-woogie power move. Titled “Transformation”, episode 21 of Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 open with the continued battle between Todo + Yuji Itadori against Mahito. Even though Mahito seems to have the upper hand, the special grade cursed spirit makes the mistake of underestimating Todo and focusing his energies on Yuji, paving the way for his undoing.

The episode begins with a grotesque manifestation of Mahito’s idol transfiguration technique, making the opening scenes look like they’re out of a horror show (but well, “Jujutsu Kaisen” is a dark action-fantasy-horror series anyway). MAPPA animators deliver fast-paced action montages again, with rapidly changing styles and tones throughout the episode, the most striking of which was a brief red-tone-comic-book action-style sequence that unfolded like a bloodied flip-book. There’s a scene where Yuji slides through the body of a gigantic snake-like transfigured mass, reminiscent of a moment inspired by Dragon Ball Z.

Even though every second has become a matter of life and death for both sides, the deadly exchanges didn’t feel as nail-biting as in earlier conflicts. While the atmosphere during the face-off is mostly serious and tense, there’s a hilarious shift in mood in the episode when Mahito is slightly distracted by Todo’s locket, and then the two beat each other to a cheery girly-pop music in the background.

There’s a lot of twists, blood, cuts, and despair in this episode too, but the tables finally turn in Yuji’s favor, and yet again, viewers are left with an exciting cliffhanger. Just when it seemed like the Shibuya arc’s peak was already over with the “Thunderclap” editions, a crucial character makes an appearance in the last second, promising to shake things up.

You can stream Jujutsu Kaisen on Netflix or CrunchyRoll.

Kodi Book Review – Warm Tale of Friendship

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Sneha Jaiswal (Twitter | Instagram)

The dreamy watercolor artwork in the graphic novel “Kodi” by Jared Cullum will immediately invite readers to cozy up and read this title in their leisure time. It feels like a mashup of several children’s classics, akin to “Winnie the Pooh” meeting “The Velveteen Rabbit.” Set in the Alaskan outdoors, the story revolves around little Katya, who is spending the vacation with her granny. She loves reading books and has no friends (nor any interest in making any) until she encounters a giant, friendly bear in the woods.

Little Katya instantly reminded me of me! A school kid who would rather stay at home reading books and comics, than go out and make human friends to play. When her grandmother forces her to go out and buy a refreshment for herself, just to be out of the house – another experience I am very familiar with. Although, as the plot progresses, “Kodi” becomes a larger than life fantasy story, where the bear Katya befriends goes to great lengths just to be reunited with his human friend.

Jared Cullum’s soft color palette and dreamy illustrations make “Kodi” an absolutely delight to read and an easy page-turner. Kodi is very human like in the way he behaves, and is more like pet dog than a wild furry bear. The second-half of the story borders on being per-posterous and silly, but it’s primary theme about friendship and love is like a warm cup of tea on a harsh snowy day.

The book is also available on Kindle Unlimited.

A Good Day to be a Dog Episode 10 Review

A Good Day to be a Dog plot overview: The protagonist, Han Hae-na (Park Gyuyoung), accidentally kisses her colleague Jin Seo-won (Cha Eun-Woo), triggering a curse that transforms her into a dog from 12 am to 6 am every day. The only way to break the curse is for the same person to kiss her while she’s in her dog form. And while Han Hae-na embarks on a mission to end her curse, the mysterious history teacher Lee Bo-kyeom (Lee Hyun-Woo) has some other plans for the pair.

After leaving fans hanging with a tense cliffhanger in Episode 9, where Lee Bo-kyeom wields a sword against Jin Seo-won without any trigger in the current timeline, the new edition diffuses the tension pretty soon. The tense build-up didn’t match the ensuing drama, which won’t matter much to those looking forward to watching more romantic moments between Han Hae-na and Seo-won. Park Gyuyoung and Cha Eun-Woo are snugly and cute as the lead pair.

Titled “The Unknown Story”, episode 10 first focuses on the love story between the primary leads and then shifts attention to the much awaited historical back-story of Lee Bo-kyeom. Flashbacks finally reveal the mountain deity’s love for a woman who was connected to the royal family and how she came to die. Despite a rather scruffy wig for the historical scenes, Lee Hyun-Woo is bewitchingly good as the mountain deity who falls for a human woman called Lady Han (Kim Yi Kyung). Kim is also impressive as the young noblewoman being pursued by enemies and her chemistry with Lee Hyun-Woo makes the second-half of the episode riveting. The background music is instrumental in heightening the atmospheric value of each scene.

Lee Hyun-Woo’s dual portrayal, transitioning between the jovial, laid-back history teacher in the day and a vengeful deity filled with hatred by night, establishes him as a compelling anti-hero in “A Good Day to be a Dog.” However, with a few more episodes remaining, the crucial scene depicting the casting of the dog curse on Han Hae-na’s family is yet to be revealed. Overall, episode 10 strikes a good balance between romantic elements and conflicts.

Stolen Vacation Review: Wacky Family Comedy

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Sneha Jaiswal (Twitter | Instagram)

Carlos Camargo and his wife Lola are hiding secrets from each other – they are both owe a lot of money to people and cannot afford their current lifestyle. But when Carlos accidentally discovers a wad of cash in his office bathroom, he decides to take Lola and their two kids on a vacation. But can a stolen vacation be fun? Directed by Diego Graue, the 2023 Spanish film “Stolen Vacation” (Viaje Todo Robado) is a goofy family comedy set in the early 2000s.

Bruno Bichir is cartoonishly comical as protagonist Carlos Camargo, a working man living beyond his means, just so he can maintain an illusion of a good life. Ana Claudia Talancón plays his wife Lola, who is a home-maker and yet owes money to people. “Ma’am, you’re an addict. You have a gambling problem. Even I have children and work. You don’t work because you are a lazy bum.” Lola’s house-help tells her off in one of the most brutally honest and hilarious conversations in the film because Lola spends all the money her husband gives her on Bingo and can’t even afford to pay the help. The Camargo kids seem to be better than their parents, they are both scholarship students, while the younger daughter makes bootleg CDs for her schoolmates for quick cash, the older son Charlie (Germán Bracco) is studying to get into a good college in America.

“Stolen Vacation” feels like a 90s sitcom, both in terms of cinematography and script, offering steady laughs through its 97-minute runtime. However, it may prove challenging for those who prefer fast-paced comedies with “laugh-out-loud” jokes. Although Bruno Bichir is excellent as the middle-aged Carlos, desperately attempting to impress his own family with stolen money, but there’s a lack of camaraderie or comical spark between him and Ana Claudia Talancón. To be fair, Ana Claudia is amusing as the lazy gambling mom of two, but together, the lead actors fail to exude the domestic bond expected of a married couple.

Writer Santiago Mohar Volkow shines in subtly satirizing how Mexicans are obsessed with all things American. One of the funniest scenes involves the Camargo family entering America for their vacation. They all put their heads outside the car to breathe the air, agreeing that even the air feels different there. Later, at a burger joint, they exclaim about how Coca-Cola tastes better in America. Their vacation however turns out to be quite the nightmare, with Carlos running into several problems, the first of which is having their car being towed away and it’s not even theirs. In the end, they are forced to rush back home and face the music for their irresponsible action, but in a surprisingly smooth climax – “Stolen Vacation” ends on a “feel good” note.

You can stream the movie on Netflix.

When Screen Moments Make You Feel Seen

‘Where have you been?’

A question that a lot of us long to hear. In work spaces, in personal lives, from friends to lovers to just about anyone whose validation means something to us.

On TV, two times this phrase was used when it stuck with me.

Circa 2021. My sister and I are watching Masterchef Australia and a desi-looking lady has come to audition. I don’t remember her dish but it is simple Bangladeshi food. The judges take a taste and one of them utters ‘Where have you been?’ The teary-eyed contestant says ‘Home. I’ve been home.’

In that moment Kishwar became the voice of millions of women who kept their dreams, aspirations and joys on the back burner to take care of their homes. They got stuck in the unpaid business of raising kids, looking after the family, keeping the cogs of a household going almost mostly without ever being acknowledged. Needless to say, she became an instant favourite and I relished her journey to the finals with admiration, distant virtual support and loving energy.

A few years have passed since this anecdote and another favourite found herself in midst of a similar exchange. I am talking about Meryl Streep. Probably the only Hollywood star I have seen more than two movies of. I have seen three of her films which is significant because I barely consume American cinema. But we are digressing here.

So Ms Streep plays a struggling actor in the latest season of ‘Only Murders in the Building’ and her opening scene is a montage of her years as one. She keeps longing for an acknowledgment and when she goes on to audition for a Broadway musical in the show, she nails it. She has a short monologue in that scene but boy it’s like the lines are oozing out of the pores of her skin.

Sheer excellence.

Her mere presence gave this rather directionless show(looking at you season 2) a new lease of life. I sat through ten episodes in three days trying to soak in all her brilliance. Her character takes myriad shapes, each one a new discovery and she shines in all of them. She is G.O.A.T and she once again proves it.

As for you dear reader, if you haven’t had your moment of discovery yet, I hope you get to hear these four words real soon!

Dhak Dhak Review – A Beat of its own

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Sneha Jaiswal (Twitter | Instagram)

“Dhak Dhak” begins on a fun comical note – four women bikers of varied ages make a stop along a dusty road for a pee break. One of them, evidently the leader of the group, patronises the youngest for not relieving herself on a previous rest-stop and then asks her do quickly finish her business in the bushes. Their destination? Khardungla – one of world’s highest motorable roads, which is still 917 kms away.

Directed by Tarun Dudeja, who co-wrote the script with Parijat Joshi, the 2023 Bollywood film “Dhak Dhak” follows the story of Sky (Fatima Sana Shaikh), a popular travel blogger, as she embarks on a seven-day bike trip with the 60-year-old biker granny Mahi (Ratna Pathak Shah) through treacherous mountain roads. The duo is joined by on-road mechanic Uzma (Dia Mirza) and the devout Manjari (Sanjana Sanghi), who has lied at home about flying to Leh to go on the road adventure before she gets married to a stranger picked by her helicopter mom.

Fatima Sana Shaikh sets the tone for this girls’ trip story as Sky, who in a flashback scene skates around like a pro to capture a biker gang doing dangerous street stunts until cops come to the scene and break them up. “I don’t want aesthetics, I need a story,” her boss tells her on watching the footage. A chance encounter leads Sky to that story – Mahi an aging widow loves her bike and dreams of riding it to Khardungla. Last seen in “Charlie Chopra & the Mystery of Solang Valley” as the wily wheelchair bound Mrs Bharucha, Ratna Pathak Shah as Mahi in “Dhak Dhak” is the beating heart of the tale and a treat to watch. Indisputably the most likable character, Ratna’s portrayal of the biker granny who love rum is a joyous mix of vitality, bravery, innocence, and benevolence. Mahi lives by herself, often ignored by her children who are too busy in their own worlds. Riding a bike gives her a new lease on life, and her jest to conquer one of the toughest road-trail in the world positively inspirational and heart-warming.

The cinematography of “Dhak Dhak” is its strongest ingredient, with gorgeous mountain shots and scenes that breezily unfold like a travel blog. From loud roadside dhabas, to bohemian hilly retreats, the women make a lot of pit-stops through their trip that take viewers on an enjoyable vicarious ride through the mountains. Dia Mirza is gracefully sweet as the “jugaadu” Uzma, who lies to her husband about going on a religious visit and becomes the group’s mechanic to pay for her daughter’s rising school expenses. Sanjana Sanghi’s character, Manjari, is the most random addition to the tale, but she earnestly plays her part and serves as comic relief as an overtly sheltered girl who scares easily. Fatima Sana Shaikh stands out as the sassy talented Sky, but her character is slightly inconsistent (fault of the writers). She is introduced as this carefree, career-oriented woman rollerblading on the streets, having fun while doing her job. Yet, she is inexplicably rude and mean to the older Mahi for the first half of the film, even though she seemed pretty friendly in her opening scenes.

One couldn’t help but wish there was a fifth woman in the group, someone who, unlike the other four, wasn’t being weighed down by other people in their life. Despite being an all-women led film in terms of the main protagonists, the male shadow looms strongly upon them – Sky has an ex-boyfriend who she feels betrayed by; Uzma has a sexist, domineering husband who would rather save money for his school-going daughter’s dowry than spend it on her education; Mahi, at some point, wants to give up on her dreams just because she cares too much about what her grandson might think, and Manjari fears marrying a man who hasn’t even taken the initiative to get to know her before they get married (although her overprotective mother is the bigger problem in her life).

The makers jam in too many conflicts throughout the tale to give it emotional heft, and while some do mesh well, others only slow down the pace and are unnecessary (especially because there’s no cohesive resolution to them either). For example, mid-movie, when the women spend the night at a property managed by a foreigner, a post-dinner “girl-talk” video of them that goes viral and causes a lot of drama between them. If the writers would’ve just let the scenes in the video play out without the “clip gone viral” twist, that section of the story would have been a great girl-bonding moment in the trip.

Regardless of the story flaws, “Dhak Dhak” has a lot of high points, it’s background music score pulsating with complementary energy, and the four leading ladies are fantastic, each brining a different flavour of womanhood to the tale.

Rating: 7 on 10. Stream Dhak Dhak on Netflix.
