Film Review: Bid Gurvyn Bolzoo Might Make You Cry, If You Can Tolerate the Tropes

September 17, 2015September 17, 2015 Natso Baatarkhuu 0 Comments bid gurvyn bolzoo, film review, us three dating

Bid Gurvyn Bolzoo was based on an unoriginal premise, so I felt like I’ve seen the film a thousand times already, especially at the beginning. The fighting scenes were sloppy and could use improvements. The comedy of misunderstanding, which should be retired long time ago, still does more here. But the visual comedy takes up a good portion and some parts are thoughtful. So, if you tolerate the tropes, which abound the beginning, the ending might move you.

This Is The Only Way The Fantastic Four Franchise Can Be Saved

August 31, 2015September 4, 2015 Natso Baatarkhuu 0 Comments fantastic four, Mongolia, reboot

The new Fantastic Four sucked. 20th Century Fox tried rebooting the franchise with a different origin story, but it didn’t work, they might as well give the rights back to Marvel now. People are debating whose fault this was, but I think it’s just that the story has been done so many times. But wait, there’s one last hope: to set the film in Mongolia. Stay with me.
