Which of these are you going to watch?

Summer may be over but September will be an extra busy month for moviegoers, and that's a good thing for anyone who loves movies.

Even if you are not planning to attend the Japanese Film Festival (JFF), there's plenty to go around especially if you are into animations, Malaysian movies to celebrate Malaysia Day, and superhero movies of the non-Marvel and DC variety.

While most of these titles were not on everyone's radar from the beginning of the year, it has some interesting premises all the same that you might want to check out.

So, with Fall starting with a windfall of movies to see, here are the movies you shouldn't miss out this September!

The trope of the avenging one-man army from "Taken" to the "Equalizer" has been led by male action stars and only recently we are starting to see upcoming female counterparts for the role. In "Peppermint", we see Jennifer Garner who turns from a housewife to a killing machine after her husband and daughter are killed by a random drive-by shooting, and the courts refusing to charge against the drug-cartel connected perpetrators. Aside from us cheering for more female-oriented action flicks, we are excited to see Jennifer Garner getting back in shape for an action role since "Alias" under the helm of director Pierre Morel who revived the one-man army trope with "Taken" itself.

There's a few names in Japanese animation now that excites outside of Studio Ghibli and Makoto Shinkai, and that is Mamoru Hosoda, who is back with a new family-oriented animation. Centred on a 4-year-old spoiled Kun who is told by his parents that he will be having a younger sister soon, while playing in a magical garden, he meets with the future version of his soon to be born sister. Being the first Japanese animation to premiere at Cannes and already released in Japan two months ahead, this could be Hosoda's most personal film that is more down-to-earth with the relationships and dynamics of its characters, while touching something that is shared by anyone who grew up with a younger sibling on the way.

Malaysian films will be taking center stage this month and it starts with the welcoming return of Namron's latest directorial outing since "Psiko: Pencuri Hati".

Co-starring Indonesian actors with Malaysian actors, this will be an aggressive exploration of the grey area between the law and criminals and set us up a grim and daring portrayal of our law enforcement.

We've seen American jingoistic movies over a dozen times, and we are slowly seeing more and more of those from China recently, but what we haven't much of is from India. If you are more interested in seeing the gun battles set in a real battle than the bias perspective, then you might want to see "Paltan", an explosive Indian production set during the 1967 clashes at the Sikkim border between China and India after the SIno-Indian War. Directed by patriotic filmmaker J. P. Dutta, who also directed 1997's "Border" and 2003's "LOC: Kargil" set on the borders with Pakistan, "Paltan" recruits an ensemble cast with Jackie Shroff, Arjun Rampal, SonuSood, Harshvardhan Rane, Esha Gupta, and Sonal Chauhan with actual soldiers from the conflict against a cast of Hindi-speaking Chinese.

Movies told from a computer screen has been a rising trend and a simple frame for filmmakers to reinvent some familiar genres.

Youngsters in the 1990s may have been inspired by the cool "Hung-Hing" brotherhood of "Young and Dangerous". In the almost 20 years since the franchise made its final instalment, some of the cast have moved on, while others have stayed in the movie business becoming actors and directors in their own right. "Golden Job" reunites the five 'brothers', Ekin Cheng, Michael Tse, Jordan Chan, Jerry Lamb, and Chin Ka Lok who will also direct, as five retiring con-artist planning for a final heist. Although "Golden Job" is not in any shape or form related to the beloved triad movies, but perhaps this would be the start of a new franchise for the older gangsters to appear in together for a while.
