Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom

Rating: 3 out of 5.

What else do we really need to know about Aquaman, aside from his roots? Well, the previous movie entry left us a cliffhanger and it only meant that of course, it is another DC Movie, so we will have to expect something but it took them at least 5 years to have a follow up movie which I think is very long considering there’s so much to have it connected with, I guess trying t connect movies from the DC Universe is a little too complicated because they ahve been failing on doing such from the previous years. All we had were Batman and Wonder Woman having a consistent entry but not so exciting too, I’d rather watch Suicide Squad repeatedly because the story line is quite better than the mainstream heroes lately.

The Marvels Review

Rating: 3 out of 5.

This won’t be the first and last time I will be reviewing a really surprising very not-so-relatable movie for Marvel. I did reviewed some but this is the first time I really didn’t get the plot of the whole movie, like, okay, we come a long way on trying to do crossover nowadays but this is way out of context, for me, or maybe I’m just too bored with the crossover they have been doing from movies to TV series like we cannot just catch-up.

The Night Has Come Review

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

They said that one game can change your life but what if the game not only changes lives but also takes life itself? This drama released last December 4th of 2023 is actually banging the suspense/thriller genre yet again. The story is about a group of students who got stuck alone during a trip without their teachers. They were left alone in a school like facility which was supposed to be a retreat. A mysterious message asking them to join a mafia game got them hooked only to discover that this game is not just a game but a real game that can affect all of their lives.

Percy Jackson and The Olympians Review

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Okay, we’ve loved Logan Lerman as Percy and we have been waiting for the next movie since like forever, and that gives me an utter disappointment that they will never continue that movie series. But now, Disney, has come to refresh our minds and decided to remake Rick Riordan’s books and do a longer tale than the movie. Directed by Pierre Gill and Jules O’Loughlin another ship is going to sail for our favorite character Percy Jackson.

Percy Jackson is a story about a demi-god, who have never known his real identity until creatures have been trying to get him and one day, his mother told him everything sent him to camp half blood. But the real story is that he has to prove Zeus that he isn’t the lightning thief or else, destruction will come.

I have the chance two watch the first three episodes and the series may have been a little different from the movie but I think since this is a tv series, they did justice on how they can actually make this enjoyable on each episode they release. If you compare the movie and the tv series with the books, the movie was closer than the tv series, maybe because they had to choose some elements that can make the series go a little longer however, if you read the book, of course, you’ll get a little confused. You know me, I do love comparing books against their adaptations and so, that’s what we will do.

Sorry for the spoilers, but yes, we need to tackle some of it.

Who thought we need so much of Willy Wonka that we wished for a sequel? Well, me thought so too! This Christmas, we are gifted another Willy Wonka movie, although this is a prequel story and this tackles the hard-earned beginnings of Willy Wonka. Wonka never started big. He started from nothing to having everything. Because of his mother and his dream of making the best chocolate in the world, he pursued on becoming a chocolatier, creating very unique and out of this world varieties of chocolates.

In 2005, Tim Burton directed the second Willy Wonka movie which was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Yes, you read it right, this was the second Wonka movie, starring Johnny Depp. The first movie adaptation of the famous Roald Dahl’s children’s book was in 1971 and it was entitled Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, starred by Gene Wilder and the third one is the new movie entitled Wonka starring  Timothée Chalamet.
