The Flash (2023) Movie Review

Hey guys, just watched The Flash (2023) movie with my lovely wife and let me tell you, it was a wild ride!  Now, I know some of you may be worried about spoilers, but don't fret, I'll keep it vague. 😉 

First off, let's talk about Michael Keaton's return as Batman. It was amazing to see him back in action! And while the movie wasn't perfect, it was still super entertaining. We laughed, we got teary-eyed, we had a blast. 

I was hoping for a cameo from Grant Gustin's Flash, but unfortunately, it didn't happen. However, Ezra Miller's portrayal of Barry Allen was spot on! He really nailed the character and fit in perfectly with the rest of the cast. Ezra Miller's Flash fits better in this movie than Grant's Flash. 

Now, let's talk about Supergirl. Sasha Calle's Supergirl is a total game-changer! I mean, sure, the characters are swapped around a bit (TV Flash - movie Flash / TV Supergirl - movie Supergirl), but that just adds to the fun, right? And let me tell you, Sasha's portrayal of Supergirl is absolutely a major kickass. She's strong, confident, and totally badass. 

Now, I know some of you may be comparing Ezra's Flash to Grant Gustin's, but honestly, they're both great actors in their own right. And let's be real, the graphics in this movie weren't quite up to par with Avengers, but that didn't stop us from enjoying it. So don't blame Ezra Miller if the movie didn't get much appreciation.

Overall, I'd say give this movie a chance. It may not be the most comic-accurate adaptation out there, but it's still a fun and exciting watch.

Rise of the Guardians: Teaser Trailer

I may not believe in these tales but I love it when I'm watching movies about the Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus, etc... And the idea of putting them all together in one fantasy-comedy 3D movie makes it more interesting. Too bad, I won't be able to watch it as soon as it reaches cinema but still it is a movie I know I'll be watching with my kids. This could probably be shown before or during Christmas this year.

I enjoyed the preview and anticipating it already. Enjoy!

Lapit Na Naman Holiday!

Wow! The day is getting busier every moment at the office. Why? They are on a hurry to finish their stuffs before going on vacation this holiday. Holiday? Yes, Haj Holiday is coming and I just confirmed from my colleagues that our vacation starts on Nov. 24 and back to work again on Dec. 5, how I wish it is always holiday season. But of course that is just a wishful thinking and I am just being selfish.

This holiday, there are some activities waiting for us already but in case we are at home, I've gathered an ample amount of movies for me and my wife to watch already. Here are a shortlist of movies we'll probably watch:

Race to Witch Mountain (Comedy/Adventure/Scifi/Thriller) - never really thought you could mix comedy and thriller but let's see.
Star: Dwayne Johnson (The Rock)

State of Play (Thriller/Drama/Crime) - this looks boring but I think it deserves a second glance. If I still find it boring after 30 minutes, I'll just probably sleep.
Stars: Russell Crow, Ben Affleck.

UP (Animation/Adventure) - I heard this is quite good. The whole family will be watching this.

The Proposal (Comedy/Romance) - my wife watched this already but I have to see it myself. She told me it's a great movie. I'll probably watch this while she's sleeping.
Stars: Sandra Bullock, Ryan Reynolds

Public Enemies (Crime/Drama) - hmm... I wonder, John Dillinger's story? Ok, let's see if it's good, should be since it's Johnny Depp and Christian Bale.
Stars: I said it already

The Ugly Trutch (Comedy/Romance) well, I still don't have this movie. Better check later if they have this.
Stars: Katherine Heigl, Gerard Butler

G.I. Joe (Action/Scifi) - I must watch this again.
Stars: Channing Tatum, Christopher Eccleston, Sienna Miller, Denis Quaid, Ray Park, Rachel Nichols, Maron Wayans, Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Time Traveler's Wife (Romance/Drama/SciFi) - looks serious and good. I heard this is a great movie. I don't have this movie yet. Must add to DVDs to buy.

Inglorious Bastards (Action/Adventure/War) nah! I just thought of including it but never really liked the movie, even the trailer. I don't hate Brad Pitt, I just don't like the story.

Gamer (Action/Scifi/Thriller) - looks interesting, bloody-interesting. Added to must buy.
Star: Mark Neveldine, Brian Taylor

9 (Animation/Adventure/Fantasy/Scifi/War) I've seen 10 minutes of the movie and I think it's great. I just don't have time.
Star Voices: Elijah Wood, Christopher Plummer, Martin Landau, John C. Reilly, Jennifer Connelly, Crispin Glover

Whiteout (Action/Thriller/Mystery/Crime) - I always liked Kate and mysteries. Looks good. Added to must buy.
Stars: Kate Beckinsale, Gabriel Macht, Columbus Short

Jennifer's Body (Comedy/Horror/Scifi/Thriller) hmmm... looks interesting. Maybe I'll just have a glance on her body - just a glance. If I could borrow, I'll just borrow if there is none, I'll just pass.
Stars: Megan Fox, Amanda Seyfried, Johnny Simmons, Adam Brody, J.K. Simmons, Amy Sedaris, Allison Janney

Surrogates (Action/Scifi/Thriller) I just hope it's not like Sin City. I've seen the trailer and it looks good.
Stars: Bruce Willis, Radha Mitchell, Rosamund Pike, Ving Rhames

Astro Boy (Animation/Action/Scifi) I sure want to see his butt in action. I saw the trailer and was really amazed. I hope it's available even if it is just a clear copy.

Men Who Stare at Goats (History/Comedy) I always like George's comedy flics. Looks weird and interesting. Hope they have it on DVD.
Stars: George Clooney, Ewan McGregor, Kevin Spacey, Jeff Bridges

2012 (Drama/Scifi) if they have it, I should have it. Looks great. Another one of those apocalyptic movies.
Stars: John Cusack, Amanda Peet, Danny Glover, Thandie Newton, Oliver Platt, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Woody Harrelson

Twilight 2: New Moon (Fantasy/Thriller/Romance) hmmm... Okay I've seen the trailer, I've seen part 1, I've seen people giggling over this movie and I think it is great. I should probably watch this, or else my wife won't let me watch all of the movies listed here hehe! Sure hope they have it now even if it is a clear copy.
Stars: Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson

Like I said, my "SHORTLIST" of movies. I won't probably watch every movie listed here. Just checking out what I have and what I should have.
