Unknown Number: The High School Catfish

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Imagine it is in the 90s, no smartphones, no social media and nothing…just simple hi and hello to all the friends you have and by the time the news about each other comes out, the issue is already done and resolved. What makes 90s special is that there are telephone directories and operators where you will know who called you and who tried to even contact you on your pager because everything is recorded and you can ask the operator. But we all know that we are in the 2000s, where everything is accessible and you can literally use anything anonymously, and we cannot escape the technology but what will you do if this technology ruins you and your entire life, worst, your family? And you cannot even do a single thing but to wait for investigators to dig in deep to know where it started?

Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning (A Moview)

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Maybe this is the final entry in the Mission Impossible film series, MI: The Final Reckoning has set another standard when it comes to action movies. Well, in this era, if it’s not Tom Cruise, Jason Statham, or Keanu Reeves, we’ll have to think about it twice. The Final Reckoning was set at the time where Ethan (played by Tom Cruise) needed to choose who to save, the world, or his friends. He has to do the impossible to be able to retrieve the entity and kill it but along the way, he lost people that are important in his life and he met again some of those who became part of his journey. It was like a mini reunion for some of the actors he worked with during the previous film installments.

In this journey, Ethan had to work again with the US government to prevent the entity from launching all nuclear missiles available in the globe and possibly ruin the entire mankind. To all those who don’t know know, The Entity is a self aware AI that has its own mind and can actually penetrate in cybersecurity and predict what will happen in the future. This technology was the main point of the whole Mission Impossible movie franchise. Not knowing, Ethan was the one who made it possible for the Entity to exist. Every move that Ethan made in the previous movies, it had an effect with the Entity.

Final Destination Bloodlines: A Moview

From a truck loaded with logs, escalators, racing track, or even a huge bridge, Final Destination movie series have left us something to be cautious about in our everyday lives. Some of us are literally traumatized on driving in front of a truck full of logs or steel rods, thinking that it might crash and will get poke like barbecue which is really possible to … Continue reading Final Destination Bloodlines: A Moview

Captain America: Brave New World (A Moview)

Rating: 2 out of 5.

After the real Captain America retired, Sam Wilson took over as the new Captain America. Not as surprised than everyone else but ever since he was Falcon, he was the only one who gradually stick to its loyalty when it comes to saving the Earth’s humanity, even as an avengers and someone who had an epic entrance during the Endgame movie, I believe he is able to do more versatile than just making a everyone think he is there for saving. He was able to prove so many things behind, not just

Squid Game 2: A Moview

Rating: 3 out of 5.

In all fairness, we have been talking in this blog how korean dramas are significantly different from any other series, just like the Squid Game series; who could’ve known that the games you play when you’re a kid can be deadly? Well, not necessarily deadly, but for those who watched the series, you understand why I wrote those lines.

Squid Game is a series about people who needs money and suddenly they agreed to be in a game where they will win billions of money in exchange to playing children’s games which they have knows ever since they were kids the only catch is that, only one can win and every time they miss a round, they’d be killed, this is how the game worked all throughout the series. People getting killed every time they fail in the game. The main character Seong Gi-hun was lucky enough to pass and win all the games. But since he lost all the people he became friends with during the games, he wanted to make use of his price money to find the people behind these selfish-people-killing games.

Hello, Love, Again: A Moview

Rating: 3 out of 5.

“A future with no goodbyes, and in that future, Joy, you have a home in me.” – Ethan

Ethan and Joy has been in our heads since they released the new sequel of their first movie Hello, Love, Goodbye. Starring Kathryn Bernardo, and Alden Richards, the epic movie collaboration of two of the biggest channels in the Philippines had made yet another history. Pulling out to be the current highest grossing film worldwide, breaking their own record, this definitely a win for Filipino movie and talents. Directed still by Cathy Garcia-Sampana, this has set so many records and first to the Filipino movies.

Before we even go there, you can read my previous moview about the first movie, so that you will have something to compare to. There’s so much going on in this movie, like especially when they actually matched the timeline in the real world, it was really a good move to do that because the movie became more relatable to every viewers.

This second sequel, is about how Joy and Ethan walk through the paths of the real challenges of having a long distance relationship. They’ve seen the brightest of days and the darkest of nights. Joy moved to Canada to start a new journey and fulfill her dreams of becoming a nurse while Ethan continued to live and support his family in Hong Kong with his dreams of a successful bar.

Venom: The Last Dance

Rating: 2.5 out of 5.

This year, they released the new movie for Venom and it’s a mix of all the things you want in a classic monster movie but also the things you don’t want to be happening in a Spiderman movie. I know this is not actually the typical Spidey movie but this is somehow having connections with my dear Peter Parker and I think that it is very important that they do such sequels in connection to the current Spiderman movie or so we thought.

If you think about getting some reason to ditch one sequel of a marvel movie, this is probably one of them.

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.
