Michael Keaton is Batman again!

Who would have thought! This is the best news I’ve read for a long time! Michael Keaton… as Batman again… in The Flashpoint movie with Ezra Miller. I kinda liked Ezra Miller as The Flash in the Justice League movie. I’ve counted three good news here. First, The Flashpoint movie is still alive. Second, Ezra Miller is still The Flash. Third and most important of all, Michael Keaton is Batman again!

Release of The Snyder Cut

Finally, after months of speculation and a passionate global movement among dedicated fans, The Snyder Cut of Justice League will finally be released. Although not a strong supporter, I am still happy and curious on how this cut will deliver. I may be one of the few to have enjoyed Joss Whedon’s version. So I am curious to see this to compare and contrast. Hopefully, we can access HBO Max in NZ.

Star Wars Day Episode II

2002 was the year. The movie — Episode II Attack of the Clones. And things are all good again in the galaxy. I enjoyed Episode II! With exciting space battles, a plot that was going along fine and best of all, less of that annoying Gungan. Just one thing that perplexed me, though. How did Anakin grow up so fast? In Episode I, he was still a kid and Amidala was in her teens. Now in Episode II they were both in their teens. How? Midi-chlorians gave him a growth spurt perhaps?

Star Wars Day Episode I

Love and hate. That sums up my relationship with Star Wars. I have loved the original trilogy since I was a kid. It was 1980 and I remember me and my Dad watching Empire Strikes Back on the big screen. I was amazed. I was enthralled. I didn’t take any bathroom breaks. I was equally shocked and confused when Darth Vader said that he was Luke’s father. How can that be? But never mind what he said but from that day onwards, Darth Vader has been my favorite villain and I’ve longed to have a lightsaber of my own.

REVIEW: Knives Out

Being in a lockdown gives me ample opportunities to catch up on movies and shows. Last night, we watched Knives Out. Directed by Rian Johnson (whom Star Wars fans will surely know) with a great ensemble cast that includes Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Don Johnson, Michael Shannon and Christopher Plummer.

Back in Dune

Several years ago I’ve started reading Dune when I was still in Manila. I’ve been reading regularly on my MRT trips and I got far. Sadly, I was distracted by other books so I wasn’t able to finish it.

Big Boys Toys 2019

Big Boys Toys is NZ’s annual iconic lifestyle show and my friend and I has been attending this event each year. I’m not sure if this year’s event will be cancelled due to COVID-19. Hopefully not.

Lockdown should help us to be more appreciative

How true the old adage that goes, “You don’t know what you have until it’s gone.” This hits hard more so now since we’re in a lockdown. All that we have taken for granted before, we miss so much today. As simple as going out and enjoying the day with friends, we can’t do now. Going to McDonald’s to order a quarter pounder, we can’t do now. Watching movies on the big screen, we can’t do now.

Wall-E Earth Day Funko Pop!

Ever since watching Wall-E, he has become one of my favorite Disney Pixar characters. Even without much dialog, I really enjoyed this precautionary tale. I can see it coming true nowadays with more and more people being glued to their devices all day. But at its core, it’s a love story between two androids, Wall-E and the aptly-named EVE.

Long weekend… at home

What’s better than a three-day weekend? A four-day one! And we have one coming right up. Exciting isn’t it? Except for one thing. We’re still in lockdown. We’d have to spend the long weekend at home.
