"Monkey Man" is an action thriller that marks Dev Patel's directorial debut. The story follows an ex-convict who is released from prison and finds himself in a society plagued by corruption, greed, and moral decay. Inspired by the Indian deity Hanuman, the protagonist embarks on a journey of vengeance, facing various adversities and uncovering deep-rooted societal issues along the way.

Set against the backdrop of contemporary India, the film combines high-octane action with profound cultural and political commentary. Patel has expressed his desire to infuse the action genre with "real soul, real trauma, real pain," aiming to go beyond the typical non-stop fight scenes. The narrative touches on themes such as discrimination, poverty, and the caste system, reflecting the complexities and challenges of modern Indian society.

"Monkey Man" also features a diverse cast, including Sobhita Dhulipala, Makarand Deshpande, and Sharlto Copley. The film's production faced significant challenges, including delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Patel's own injuries during filming. Despite these hurdles, the movie was completed and premiered at South by Southwest in 2024, receiving attention for its gritty storytelling and the unique vision brought by Patel both in front of and behind the camera.

"Godzilla Minus One" is a Japanese kaiju film directed by Takashi Yamazaki, marking the first domestic Godzilla movie in seven years. Set in post-World War II Japan, the film explores a nation grappling with the devastation wrought by the atomic bomb, only to face a new terror as Godzilla emerges from the ocean's depths. The story follows Kōichi Shikishima, a former kamikaze pilot burdened by survivor guilt, who becomes embroiled in humanity's struggle against the colossal monster.

The film returns to the franchise's roots, using Godzilla as a metaphor for nuclear horror and the aftermath of war, while also delivering intense action sequences and spectacular visual effects. With a strong focus on character-driven storytelling, "Godzilla Minus One" blends historical drama with thrilling kaiju battles, highlighting the resilience and determination of its human characters.

Safe travels, nomads.
