A New Generation Of Zombies (All Of Us Are Dead Review and Theories)

I know this is a little bit late after all those trends about this latest Korean TV series by Netflix entitle All Of Us Are Dead. This is more famous than Squid Game, people! And I think that I have never seen an apocalypse becomes this hit. Well, Korean Dramas have been out in there for so many years and I think that they are always ahead of the game when it comes to dramas, they’re like next to USA but now, it seems like they are getting way better than the US-based TV Series. Even US had adapted few of their TV series, The Good Doctor to name one.

If you noticed, as the years pass by, movies are becoming more and more close to whatever is happening in the world. Example of these were catastrophic/disaster movies like The Day After Tomorrow, Contagion, 2012, Into The Storm, Geostorm, San Andreas, and The Core; these are the OGs when it comes to making viewers realize about the disaster that could happen if we don’t take care of the nature. I grew up watching documentaries about global warming, and the destruction of the ozone layer which I think is just two of the many problems that the earth is experiencing. And since the pandemic (Covid19) had spread, many documentaries about it had been released and some other fiction movies about widespread epidemic and apocalypse has been surfacing in the movie world. US was the first who made apocalypse be known and even the possibilities of other creatures living among us and the famous amongst all those creatures are the zombies (these are people who died and came back to life). US had made a successful show about it, The Walking Dead and they followed it with iZombie, Z-Nation, Warm Bodies, and Zombieland…but the Koreans were the ones who made it more true to life as they start to invest on creating Zombie TV Series and movies, one of those who really hot the blockbuster was Train to Busan, Alive and then followed by so many TV series but one that took the limelight was The Kingdom, it currently has two seasons and one movie prequel. This 2022, the Korean TV Production has yet again amazed everyone after the released of All Of Us Are Dead.

Encanto: The Non-Gifted Are Also Gifted(A Moview)

The truth is gift or no gift, I’m just as special as everyone in my family.

Mirabel, Encanto.

Disney has made it again, from Moana to Coco to Luca, I think Disney has started to introduce ethnic characters to all the viewers coz for all I know, Pocahontas holds that title ever since. This new movie released at the end of 2021, entitled Encanto, this is based on Colombian culture that tackles about a family who was saved by a magical candle that the light does put out.

The movie is focused on an entire town that was hidden by magic and saved from conquerors. It is led by the Madrigal family’s eldest, Abuela. Each of the Madrigal’s were gifted magic that gave their town hope, light and all things that they need. Let’s enumerate the family tree and their powers:

Spiderman: No Way Home (A Blow-by-Blow Reaction) Part 1 of 2 Moviews

Okay this is the start of a new chapter for our friendly neighborhood Spiderman. Yes, this sequel comes after the scene where Mysterio was killed in the battle of Spiderman however, there was a huge turn of events. You see, I’m starting this article not with my normal lead paragraph in which I get to tell you the $700 Million Blockbuster ticket sales for the first five days after the release or did I? Yap! First day it hit the cinemas everyone is in their seats, with their popcorns and sodas, with cellphones on silent. I know, this is probably not the end game but this is Spiderman. This dude can outlive sales of all the DC movies even without the avengers’ name in the title. (For a DC fan to say that, Spiderman really can have his own universe and still keep staggering sales)

Anyway, back to the blog, you may have noticed the title, I said blow by blow, this term is actually used in journalism and especially in Broadcasting, it means it is a narrative of all the details in order to give a more precise information. This is actually done during reports. I know of it coz I majored in journalism so, I think as an avid fan of Spiderman, my readers deserve my blow by blow reactions in this installment. As you see I have watched all Spiderman movies and read most of the comics even the new Venom movies, I had written all of them in my blog so for me to give an insight on how I actually fill my notes while I watch the movie, yes, I take notes while watching the movie, I think this could help reader understand my entire excitement while watching the movie. This could be the longest article I will be writing (despite my writer’s block) and I hope I do some justice on explaining some events that were actually connected in the MCU universe and my verdict of the movie and post credits.

Again, just a disclaimer, I managed to keep my notes to myself, for more than a month since the day of the release. I promise my readers not to spoil it by writing it a little early coz some countries haven’t watched the Spiderman yet because of pandemic situation. This will be a full on spoiler post. So for those who haven’t watch, stop right here and don’t click more or scroll more. But for those who did, click more and let’s begin the exciting reaction while watching the film.

Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts

From the books up to the reel, J.K. Rowling has won our hearts and for 20 years, Harry Potter has been recruiting high volumes of potter heads from every generations. I know, seeing all the cast together after 20 years is more magical than the FRIENDS reunion.

The Eternals, Do We Like It?

I still cannot contemplate on how I will start reviewing the new Marvel movies, starting from Shang Chi to the Eternals. If you have noticed, I haven’t done any reviews since the release date because I believe it is no great work for me to conclude something I’m literally confused about. Not to mention the flawless and epic transition of Spiderman and Venom in the latest MCU. My question is, where do Shang Chi and Eternal go in this timeline? Are they going to meet the newest Avengers or even help them?

Who are the Eternals? In a world where we know the Avengers, here comes the Eternals. These are the gods of the MCU and they are not just any superheroes, they are considered the gods in the newest Marvel Cinematic Universe and when I say gods, I’m talking about the mythical gods who were believe to have lived thousands of years. In the comics, Eternals were sent to experiment on humans which depicts the mere existence of Eternals, they are still under celestials. In short, Celestials are the real gods. In the movie, they are still created by celestials but only to continue the cycle of creating a universe where they are instruments of destruction, it’s like they were considered the bomb that will make the world vanish and so that story leads us to the whole plot of the movie.

Spencer: The Movie (A Moview)

She’s called “People’s Princess” for a reason. You know her, I know her but not very well as the people of UK do coz she’s the one and only Princess Diana of Wales. You may have heard of her from your history books or many while you’re reading stuff about Monarchy and it is very known that she’s one of the most famous person in the world, so I think even the young people nowadays know her at least a much as I do.

There have been TV Series and movies that was focused on her and her story but this 2021, a musical and a movie was released and I think this is quite a great year to see a story about her. Oh and there are also documentaries about her. You see, she’s just not your ordinary princess, she’s married to Prince Charles of Wales and she’s the mother of Prince William and Prince Harry but I’m sure most of us know how she died and what’s the theories behind it.

Halloween Kills: A Moview

Michael Myers – I bet you all know who Michael is, yes, he’s been the talk of the scare during Halloween season coz he’s been haunting kids since 1978. He’s the killer in the infamous movie series Halloween that set foot in 1978 and then had so many sequels followed through out the years which is crazy because I think this is the only killer in every slasher movie ever known who has been in 11 installment and now just last month, before Halloween strikes again, they released a new movie following up all the movies from 1978. In 2021, Michael Myers has come back in the newest entry entitled, Halloween Kills, sounds about right? I know, sounds exciting especially if you are a fan of the slasher movies like Scream, Saw, Halloween Series, IKWYDLS, Chuckie and so many more.

My Name: TV Series (Spoiler Alert)

From the mistress in the World of Married to having her own show in Nevertheless, Han So-Hee has become one of the sought after actresses in the Kdrama limelight. After the wild acting in the Nevertheless, I think jumping into a role that represents the ignited femme fatale in every woman is a major leap of faith. We all know who have done this major jump too, Park Shin-Hye is one of those actresses that I believe has this versatility when it comes to roles that she plays. And surprisingly, they have Han the chance to prove herself by having different kinds of roles.

Her new Korean Drama Series, My Name, is about a lady who’s father was believed part of the gangsters that were wanted in their place, however before she even get an clarification from her father, he was unfortunately killed in their doorstep during her birthday. The incident led her to finding the culprit and deciding to join the gangster that her father was a member of.

Venom: Let There Be Carnage

In the midst of the world getting excited about Shang Chi and other new characters on the Marvel world, here I am, geeking about Venom and Spiderman. This October, Marvel has released the second sequel of the 2018 movie Venom. Tom Hardy is still playing Eddie/Venom while Woody Harrelson still plays Cletus Kasady. I know this is a deeper villain story not even focusing on Spiderman at all but I think viewers deserve a story behind the infamous Venom and Carnage.

For those who aren’t familiar of comics, Carnage is the result of the merging of the alien symbiote, Venom, with Cletus Kasady during an encounter in a prison breakout. They call it the offspring of Venom but stronger, smarter and more dangerous. In the new sequel of Venom we all saw how Venom is connected to Eddie in more ways we can imagine.

To be able to live in Eddie’s body, in the first movie, they agreed that he will stay in his body but with certain condition and one of them is not to eat humans and eat chickens instead; the second one is that he can eat human brain only if necessary. I’m not sure how does that contract varies but yes, they live quite while munching on chocolates and chickens however the dismay of Venom was showed in the latest movie. It’s like their bond is starting to crumble.
