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.

Wonka Review

Rating: 4 out of 5.

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.

From Freaky Friday, Secret Garden, 17 Again, In Her Shoes, Just Got Lucky and 13 Going 30, these are just some of the famous shows that is all about 2 people switching places.

A Time Called You Review: Time Travel Era

Rating: 5 out of 5.

I guess there’s nothing more relatable than wanting to go back in time and choosing to change something you did and expect that everything will be fine eventually, like who wouldn’t want coming back in time, trying not to choose the ex who hurt you but instead choose someone else you’ve been with before you even chose your ex, right? Or maybe right now you are thinking that maybe you could’ve just choose that shitty apartment rather than spending more money into renting an expensive one only to find out that you will just get fired a month after and be homeless, like who wouldn’t want to try that another option that maybe your life could’ve been a lot better.

The Nun II Review

Rating: 4 out of 5.

How many movies are we going to watch until we answer every question on each movie that they release each year? Well, it’s not often that we get them answered actually, especially horror films. It’s always either they have some continuation or they just don’t reveal the whole story for the viewers to get some cliff hanger which I really hate as a movie reviewer because it doesn’t give me any conclusion. Well, to be particular, there were too many installments of Exorcist, Insidious, and Conjuring that were released each year and we just cannot catch up. It’s like a Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Gran Turismo Review

Rating: 5 out of 5.

If you’re a gamer, you’ll probably know what does Playstation do and what its games are about. Playstation is actually the OG of all the gaming consoles in the market right now, followed by Nintendo and Xbox. Since PS1 to PS5, Playstation has been dominating the gaming industry for so many years, with its wide range selection of exclusive games, you’re a clear legend if you have played most of the games available. 

I grew up playing Crash Bandicoot, Tekken, Mortal Combat and Street Fighter, Battle of Tanks, Racing Rally, Vice City and GTA (It was not even my console, I had to borrow console from my cousin whose father works abroad, coz at that time, only kids with parents working abroad can actually afford video consoles and even handheld games like gameboy.) While these are the most common games in PlayStation before, as I grew up and gained a wider access to some other Sony Produced consoles like  PSP which I was able to have because my uncle from abroad gifted my siblings, I was able to play UMDs like Daxter, which technically my most favourite of them all. And since I am now a grow up, with my own money to spend, I was able to buy PS4 and PS5 all from my pocket, and that’s how I became more hooked into gaming. Aside from that, I am a proud mother of two Pokemon Special Edition Nintendo Switch (Yeah, not t brag but it’s all a fruit of hard work) Well, anyway, enough bragging, I just wanted you to know that I am writing a moview not as a movie reviewer but as a gamer.

Oppenheimer Review

Rating: 5 out of 5.

I am become of death. The destroyer of the worlds

J. Robert Oppenheimer

A biographic film, the Oppenheimer. This new film directed by Christoper Nolan is ranging from mystery to greatness. We all know who Christopher Nolan is, well, if not then let me tell you who he is. Christopher is the famous director of Dark Knight (2008), Dunkirk, Tenet, Interstellar and my favorite, Inception. If you watched these movies, you’ll know for sure that there’s a deep dark mystery in the film that all throughout the movie, you’ll ask so many questions.
