Turning Red (2022)

Director: Domee Shi

Producer: Lindsey Collins

Cast: Rosalie Chiang (Meilin Lee), Sandra Oh (Ming Lee), Ava Morse (Miriam Mendelsohn), Maitreyi Ramakrishnan (Priya), Hyein Park (Abby)

This review’s going to turn RED.

Meilin Lee is an outgoing, smart, and happy 13-year-old girl, who always gets an A+ in everything. Her mother Ming Lee promotes this behavior, by forcing Meilin to study for most of the time. Her family owns a Chinese Temple in the city of Toronto where they live. One day, Mei, with her three friends Miriam, Priya, and Abby, after school departs, peek at the nearby convenience store clerk NAMED Devon, who all of them, except Mei, have a crush on. Mei stands up and reminds them of the popular boy band 4*TOWN, who Mei has a crush on. Later that day, when Mei and Ming are watching a soap opera on TV, the first commercial to be shown in the break is one of 4*TOWN announcing a North American tour. Mei gets excited, but Ming disapproves of the band and gags at the sight of their gyrations.

That night, Mei’s perfectly normal dreams turn into odd floppy dreams, where all her crushes ever turn into weird, strange, animalistic forms. The next day, as Mei goes into the bathroom to brush, she notices that she has turned into a giant red panda. Want to know more? Watch the movie!

This movie is great. I’ve watched this movie at least 5 times, and it never gets boring. The panda transformation is epic, and I love the bo band’s songs, especially Nobody Like U. The lyrics are kinds cringe,  but the tune is great. There aren’t any flaws, a one-up from other recent Pixar films.

I wholeheartedly recommend this movie because:

1.       The characters are great.

2.       The setting is wonderfully fleshed out.

3.       The music is epic.

4.       The panda is awesome.

5.       Overall, THERE’S NOTHING LIKE THIS MOVIE!

Ole Ale (2024) Director: Vipul Mehta Producer: Rashmin Majithia Cast: Nana Patekar ( Omkar ‘Ole’ Lele), Siddarth Chandekar (Aditya ‘Aale’ Lele), Sayali Sanjeev (Kyra Hirve), Makarand Anaspure (Baburao). Oh my god, this movie is really a ride. Omkar Lele, or Ole, is a widower and single father who’s main aim is to live life at its fullest. Contrastingly, his son Aditya Lele, or Aale, is an extreme workaholic, constantly having calls, conferences, meetings, presentations, and having very little, if any time for himself and his family. How much ever Ole tries to get Aale to do anything, he never manages to do anything with him. One time, after Aale fails to appear for a dinner at home, Ole, in sadness, apparently flees the house. Confused, Aale and their house helper, Baburao, rush to the police station and ask everybody about Ole’s whereabouts. Turns out, Ole was always at home, simply hiding. It was all a ploy to get Aale to stay at home and cancel his meeting in Delhi. Du...
