Brace yourselves to Stranger Things 2

Just in time when I updated my Netflix subscription and I was done binge-watching for the first season of Stranger Things, I was invited to the world premiere of Season 2. Suddenly I became a fan of the series as it does not only has Winona Ryder in the cast but the adventures of the lovable kids of Hawkins are really remarkable.

To recap, El (Millie Bobby Brown) sacrificed herself to save the boys from the danger of the faceless monster which escaped from the Upside Down. Just in time in blossoming connection with Mike (Finn Wolfhard) and also saving Will (Noah Schnapp) from another dimension. Lucas and Dustin are still supportive friends for Mike and Will and things believed to be back to normal. However, during Christmas Eve, Will gets a new episode of getting into the Upside Down once again and that cuts the first season.

At the pilot of the new season, we're back to the 80's and we meet new characters and and we would be having another glimpse of the Upside Down. It would be a very difficult time for Will. It nicely picks up from the previous season and they justified why some things don't have to be just left into being. Nancy and Mike had a better sibling relationship, and you'll never guess who Joyce Byers would now be dating. Questions will again come up on what really happened to Barbs, and there's a big surprise that will raise hairs up at the end.

Stranger Things 2 will be up on Netflix in a few hours and we really couldn't wait!

THOR Ragnarok movie review

Thor Ragnarok is the best Thor movie to date as I really enjoyed it from start to finish. As it plays on Thor's relationships with different characters, less Jane Foster, the accounts on family, friendship, "coworker" and acquaintances deliver more laughs and excitement on following how Thor saves his people and legacy.

Cate Blanchett gives an amazing entrance and backstory that amazed me. Hela's moves are the best yet for a villain part and I love her flawlessness. I love that they chose Cate Blanchett in this role and she did it very, very well.

I am also very excited about Hulk/Bruce Banner as he is already able to control his actions in Thor Ragnarok. Containing the same weakness he left in Age of Ultron, you will like him like a baby and that's very funny for all of us.

Thor Ragnarok having Jeff Goldblum and the citizens in the universal dumpster is quite funny for a morbid Grandmaster and still be very chill on the way he talks and acts. Same as Korg and Surtur who appear to be easily manipulated by the others but strong and powerful.

The movie also knows how to give grand entrances.

Valkyrie played by Tessa Thompson

New Thor

For MCU followers, Thor Ragnarok gives fair story telling of the characters' pasts and how each redeem themselves in the process. I am waiting for other posts to get into the Easter eggs and I leave you an advise that you have to stay for two end credits scenes.

Thor Ragnarok opens in Philippines on October 25, distributed by Columbia Pictures International.

BLADE RUNNER 2049 movie review

Thirty years after the events of the first film, a new blade runner, LAPD Officer K (Ryan Gosling), unearths a long-buried secret that has the potential to plunge what's left of society into chaos. K's discovery leads him on a quest to find Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), a former LAPD blade runner who has been missing for 30 years.

This year's Blade Runner film picks up smoothly from the original one but can stand on its own. The lenghty about more than 2 hours gets you at the edge of your seat in anticipation of what's gonna happen next. Be ready of the effects that may surprise or amaze you especially living as a bachelor like Agent K. His dystopic and futuristic world works wonders in terms of anything that enables their race to interact with other kinds. I like Joi's technology and the ability to be with K all the time. I also like Jared Leto's lair as if a different depiction of hell or underworld making his soldiers to rule to world.

There are still more things left hanging that will make us watch out for a Part 3. Apparently, the real villain isn't dead yet, and may be preparing for an army. How will Rick Deckhard make up with his lost child after 30 years separation and how will the world be in the future.

Blade Runner 2049 is now playing in theaters.
