I watched "The Suicide Squad" today in a theatre — the third this year, after "Tenet" and "Wonder Woman 1984" several months ago. I loved the movie!Unlike the studio interference that David Ayer faced for his 2016 "Suicide Squad", James Gunn had free reign to make the movie he wanted to, here. Like his "Guardians of the Galaxy" movies, this is also a film featuring a group of misfits on a mission! Task Force X, a team of criminals and villains imprisoned in the Belle Reve correctional facility are sent on a mission to the island of Corto Maltese.What follows is an epic, colourful, violent, fantastical action adventure that is very different from Ayer's movie (which I also really liked!) and also different from what you may expect from a movie in this genre.The movie stands on its own, story wise, hence it doesn't have to maintain continuity with the other DC Universe movies. It's not a reboot or a sequel, just its own thing.As can be expected, the movie has great music (the score by John Murphy as well as the songs). It has beautiful visuals — it was shot on IMAX certified RED cameras, and has a lovely look to it. The cast is terrific and the story was engaging, and does things to subvert expectations. The movie has a lot of humour and is surprisingly sweet at times (with Ratcatcher 2's character and the Sylvester Stallone-voiced King Shark).The R rating is utilised well and there are several moments of bloody violence and gore (I couldn't find a cut report but I think the version released in Indian theatres is uncut), and very creative and epic action. With the tone here, it really felt like a comic book to me, more so than other comic book based movies. Watch out for an interesting cameo. Overall I enjoyed it a lot and I think all involved had fun making this unique movie.The film is formatted in 1.9:1 aspect ratio but today, after the interval, the frame got punched in a bit to 2.39:1 (I suppose that's by mistake, the last slide in this post shows that). There was not much of a crowd which was a good thing (since now there's no alternate seating like was mandated a few months before).

@aninchaugust #aninchaugust #aninchaugust2021 Entries for Day 5, 6, 7 — For the prompt for Day 5 (Favourite Colour) I drew the Supercharge power up from the classic Doom games. For Day 6, a fond Travel Memory I drew Marina Bay Sands from Singapore, a very memorable trip in 2017 with @varunabhiram (the trip where I got to meet @yafiqyusman and @yaisyusman too). For Day 7, Something I can’t go a day without, it’s obviously my phone. I drew my Pixel 2 XL as that’s the one I’ve been using the longest. The first is a ballpoint pen drawing, other two are with 0.5 mm 4B mechanical pencil. You can swipe to see scans, also, on the day I drew the supercharge I was wearing a blue shirt and took a photo with blue iPhone, which I posted on Story. That picture is here as well. @apple #iphone12mini #shotoniphone #karthikabhiram #vsco #ballpointpen #miniatureart #pencildrawing

[Drawings for @aninchaugust Day 2, 3, 4]Midsommar (2019)Directed by Ari AsterAfter a family tragedy, Dani (Florence Pugh), her boyfriend and other college mates go on a trip to Sweden, where they participate in a midsummer festival that soon takes a disturbing turn.I really liked the movie! Dare I say, I liked it more than the director's earlier "Hereditary"? It's not so much a scary horror movie, but it certainly creates an interesting atmosphere. The novelty is that almost the entire film is set in broad daylight. I loved the direction, visuals and sound design.I thought Florence Pugh was amazing in the movie and she portrayed the character's emotions so well (grief, being in a difficult relationship). For me she was also the best part of "Black Widow".The movie might not be for everyone though, some would get put off by the slow pace and certain scenes may seem comical if not taken in the right context. There is some explicit content (violence/blood, sex, nudity) in this meant to shock the viewer, which again might not be for everyone.I should watch "The Wicker Man" as well, which also has similar themes (people who find themselves in a fish-out-of-water situation involving a cult).I drew Florence Pugh from this movie for Day 4 of #aninchaugust (prompt: someone you love / someone who reminds you of love). Since the movie had themes of a difficult relationship, I picked this to draw (also I wanted to draw Florence Pugh and write about the movie!). This was done with pencil and ballpoint pen. The other two drawings are for Day 2 (a food or beverage that you like – onion samosa drawn with ballpoint pen and gelly roll based on one of my own photos) and Day 3 (something that's always on your home desk, which is office laptop Dell Latitude 3410, drawn with ballpoint pen).You can swipe to see scans.#aninchaugust #aninchaugust2021@florencepugh #florencepugh #ariaster #midsommar #samosa #laptop#ballpointpen #pencil #miniatureart@apple #iphone12mini #shotoniphone#karthikabhiram #dailymoviesketch#601 / 3-Aug-21

Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002)Directed by George LucasIt's hard to believe we've already reached August in 2021! So @aninchaugust is here, a challenge that was started in 2018 by @tiny.sharma10 and @meghalika, where the goal is to create miniature artworks that fit into the space of an inch. I've participated in it in the past years and it's something I look forward to every year. They have come up with daily prompts for this year's challenge. While I don't think I'll be able to make a sketch for every day of the month, I'll see how many I'm able to do.The first prompt is to surprise everyone, so here is what I came up with…Last month I'd started a challenge myself to make art based on memes, and there is one meme that I wanted to draw, which is the 4-panel template featuring Padme Amidala (Natalie Portman) and Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) from "Star Wars Episode II". So, I did that, but in the space of an inch square. I was thinking I'll make four one inch squares for each panel, but then I thought let me do all the four panels in one inch square only.This is also sketch number 600, of my @dailymoviesketch movie drawing series! I started an art account in 2016 with movie related sketches, and I've been numbering the sketches since then. Last year I moved to posting all the sketches on my @karthikabhiram account only, and now since Instagram introduced a Collaboration feature, all movie sketches will be posted on both accounts.The drawing was done with 0.5mm mechanical pencil with 4B lead on A5 notebook from @themedschoolstudent.store. You can swipe to see a scan, couple of uses of it as a meme template (though it isn't as effective due to the very small size), and also a short timelapse. I actually keep moving the paper around while drawing, and peer closely into the paper often, so doing this type of timelapse was very uncomfortable and I stopped it.#karthikabhiram #dailymoviesketch#aninchaugust #aninchaugust2021 #createwithkarthik#meme #memes #memesimade #padmeandanakin#starwars #starwarsmeme#miniatureart #pencil #pencildrawing #tinysharma#600 / 1-Aug-21

Universal Solider: Day of Reckoning (2012)Directed by John Hyams"Universal Solider" is a 1992 action movie that I haven't seen in a long time, and I was watching a video about it which mentioned the sequels. There are two made-for-TV sequels ("Universal Solider II: Brothers in Arms" and "Universal Solider III: Unfinished Business"), followed by a theatrical sequel called "Universal Solider: The Return". This was followed by "Universal Solider: Regeneration" and "Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning" which were made direct-to-video and ignored the TV and the first theatrical sequel.I have not watched any of those. However, I had heard good things about this one when it was released a few years back, and so I watched it (there is a version of it on @primevideoin but this appears to be a censored one, with a 105 min runtime as opposed to the complete 114 min). You can enjoy this one even if you haven't seen the other movies.This was noted for it's strong violence and darker tone, both of which I'm happy to say, the movie delivers on. It's played very seriously and does pack in some interesting ideas. It doesn't spend too much time on exposition, and curiously the Wikipedia article actually does explain the story pretty well, which you can read after watching the film.The movie stars Scott Adkins as John, a man who is assaulted and his family killed by Luc Deveraux (Jean-Claude Van Damme), one of the original UniSols (dead soliders reanimated as cyborgs). On recovering nine months later, with memory loss, he sets off to find Luc and to piece together past events. The movie has a horror vibe to it (with body horror/sci fi elements) and the action scenes are brutal and extremely well done. Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren from the original make appearances here though their screen time is limited. I drew Van Damme as Luc from the movie with his "Apocalypse Now" inspired look, this was done with multi colour ballpoint pen on A5 notebook from @themedschoolstudent.store.
