Welcome to my weird world!
Here it is. The first big movie ever to have itself delayed due to the announcement of the coronavirus and had all the others follow suit. I wasn't exactly biting my nails for this movie to finally arrive, but No Time to Die was delayed at a time we knew very little about the virus,... Continue Reading →
Well, two films may have been released prior, and Wandavision, but Shang-Chi is officially the first new superhero of the MCU. In other words, the first superhero that wasn't around when Cap said the legendary two words at the climax of you-know-which three-hour flick. I knew I was going to see Shang-Chi at some point,...

In anticipation for the sequel I'm going to see soon, I wanted to bring up The Hitman's Bodyguard, which I would describe as the best example of a "hamburger movie". What is that? Well, like a hamburger, it is familiar, defaultly ungourmet, and often messy when trying to eat it, but tasty, filling, and what... Continue Reading →
Apologies for the wait. When I finished this movie, I started writing this review, and I realized it just doesn't feel right not knowing the full context, so I played catch-up and watched the first two Godzilla movies. I was just too curious and felt this movie thrived on the backstories I'd neglected to see.... Continue Reading →
Amy Tintera is one of my favourite authors, because even if one of them really dove head-first into the derivative (the first Ruined), all of her works have destroyed my reading slumps and have given a fast-paced jolt. And both her Reboot duology and Ruined trilogy (still have to read the last one) all had... Continue Reading →
I've come to realize there are two methods of storytelling pretty much all forms of entertainment go for - Rough or Easy. There's a middle between them, but basically, Rough is where the writers take chances with their material which can cause deep thought, anger, or amazement. Easy is where the story plays it safe...

“Just shut up and hold still.” That’s what the protagonist says to his new boyfriend he meets on a train before he leans forward and kisses him for the first time. I guess you could call that either aggressive or cute. You’d have to read what happens before to know that it’s simply cute.Anger is... Continue Reading →
It's such a shame when you can see what they were going for - but you really dislike it nonetheless. Considering this movie takes the Ninja Turtles seriously, I feel extra bad for giving a harsh review. I don't think anyone who likes the Ninja Turtles deserves to be ridiculed by friends, classmates or work... Continue Reading →
I dream of being an actor. It's definitely weird wanting to both perform in productions and criticize other people's performances and productions. Maybe one day I should just make up my mind. If I choose the former, I would say my favourite acting roles are characters who don't fall under typical male stereotypes. If that... Continue Reading →
The astronomically anticipated movie has finally arrived, and it is quite the gift the second trailer promised it would be. This is a complete reboot setting of the Sonic Universe, which I suspect is fairly common. Sonic has that kind of restartability. Sonic used to live on an island, never mind which planet nor how...
