SMILE 2 Review (Bonus: Ending Explained)

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

We all know that if a movie has a sequel, it is either the first one is better or the second one surpasses the first and this goes over and over as long as the sequel continues. This year, after a two wait, Smile movie has finally released a sequel, Smile 2.

Despite of the years difference, Smile movie was actually cynical when it comes to getting the sinister. It was really sinister-y but a little confusing but predictable, I guess that’s what we can put that phase in the first movie. The movie was supposed to feel like a mystery and thrilling at the same time, well. it was quite a number of feelings you get because it was a psychological thriller.

Transformers One Review: Somebody Has To…

Rating: 4 out of 5.

“A line between a friend and enemy is not as clear as I once believed, once it’s crossed, there’s no going back because transformations are permanent”- Orion Pax, Optimus Prime.

In the world where everything is just too realistic and everything has forgotten physical toys and just play digital toys instead, some Gen-z don’t even know that Transformers, Ninja Turtles, Marvels and DC Superheroes were actually toys before they even made it to the big screens. But seeing them in the reels are actually a sign of how technology has progressed throughout the years. We have seen so many Transformers movies through out the special years of robots but we actually never saw a prequel until last year and now, they are actually giving us the taste of a real prequel.

It Ends With Us Review

Rating: 3 out of 5.

“It stops here. With me and you. It ends with us.”
― Colleen Hoover, It Ends with Us

It ends where it usually begins, that’s how this book by Colleen Hoover has taught us. It taught us how to not tolerate things that aren’t right and it also taught us how to never settle for less especially when you know that you have felt the the top tier standards before. This year, Sony Pictures has actually made our dreams to have the It Ends With Us book come to life.

Deadpool & Wolverine: Review

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

“You got a whole world to get back to, I have nothing.” Wolverine, 2024

Multiverse is multiverse-ing. Deadpool is Deadpool since the last movie in 2018, we didn’t really get any sequel. But this time, we don’t only get a sequel, but also a new MCU entry and a possibility of having the X-Men back. Yes, you read it right. This new Deadpool movie is actually a redirecting of the MCU. Not every one knows Deadpool is not actually part of the MCU at first but since Disney took over, they are now trying to fix the timeline by trying to tie up all the Marvel stories. This is where the whole confusion starts because aside form having so many things happening in MCU, there’s just too much topics to talk about. This new Deadpool movie was definitely called for. Okay, we just need to do a recap and analyze this new movie and how it’s gonna affect the whole MCU.

Dear Diary, I’m 32

Well, there’s that, I always try to write some kind of article that express my gratitude for being alive for another year and that article is one of them. I will need to do a year of recap about my life. All in all, I realized that I have been AFK for a very long time so let me tell you all about that in this write up. But first, why am I doing this?

Well, I just turned 32 last Aug 2, and it feels like there’s so much going on in my life except getting some success I have been planning for the longest time, meaning I still didn’t get my shit fixed. I’m still paying huge loans, I am still trying to figure out what I really wanna do with my life. Still didn’t finish language school. Still am trying my best at my job. Still don’t have any money in the bank. In short, still the same person that I was a year ago.

Under Paris Movie Review

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Who can imagine a life with so many sharks around? Well, how about imagine having so many sharks and one can actually kill an entire city? This movie that’s released on Netflix is definitely one of the stressful movies that you’ll ever encounter, aside from having the anxiety of trying to stop whoever is trying to mess up the plan in the entire plot, I guess you’re just going to hate ever bit of one character’s attitude.

Well, This is one of the craziest film I have ever since, but yes, crazy good. I’m talking about Under Paris, a movie that focuses on a grieving scientist who lost her entire team while researching about this rare breed of shark. The shark was unexpected to be growing a little faster than the normal phase and actually was able to grow huge and stronger. Now, in the present day, they need to save everyone in Paris coz this huge shark is swimming in Paris. How? That’s for you to watch the movie.

Can’t Buy Me Love: Something New To The Standards (Series Review)

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

If there’s so much more to look forward to movies and tv series, it is the new plots and standards for Philippine Cinema and Series, I’m proud to say that from the movies released for the MMFF (Metro Manila Film Festival) last year, there’s a lot of big changes to the plots, the character build ups and cinematography. Filipino production has exerted efforts to catch up with the standards set by Korean TV series and Movies for the past few years.

This year, Star Magic (A popular celebrity agency and production in Philippines) has gone to lengths unimaginable, releasing so many TV Series that are best to compare to some of the Korean Dramas we have watched in the past. First of all, I would love to speak highly about the recently completed series Senior High, Starring Andrea Brillantes, playing the role of twin girls who entered an a elite school only for one of them to die and one to investigate the whole incident.
