Godzilla VS Kong Movie review

In the next chapter of the Monsterverse,two titans Godzilla and Kong battle for supremacy and the people of the earth were caught in the balance. After Godzilla defeated its extraterrestrial nemeses, he starts his reign of terror and the people need someone for help. Legendary Picture and Warner Bros Pictures bring Godzilla Vs Kong in our screens.

When we expected a massive fight, they delivered. I think this was just the highlight of the whole movie. I'm not much of a Godzilla or Kong fan but I think the storyline involving humans were better left off. The deaf kid was more of an essential character than of Millie Bobby Brown and others.

Plus they gave Godzilla and Kong feelings, yes compassion and anger, towards humans and each other. It also introduced us into a new world where the both may have come from, somehow magical and amazing with lots of more monsters.

We can also say that the real enemy here is the humans, specifically Apex, who was in a special science project down to the core of the earth for personal gains. They also created a huge Mechagodzilla which could have been awesome however it was short-lived.

Somehow I'd like to give the credit if this was seen in IMAX or any big screen. It could have been a better experience.

Godzilla Vs Kong is now streaming via HBO Max. Distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.

Superheroes keep coming in the DC universe as Warner Bros. Pictures names Dwayne Johnson to play Egyptian champion Black Adam. Coming from the Marvel Family, Black Adam, although a supervillain, possesses great power and strength which are comparable to Superman and also Shazam who comes from the Greek gods. He presumably had moral purity that's why he was chosen by the wizard Shazam to be his successor.

In Black Adam, Dwayne Johnson is joined by actors Aldis Hodge as Hawkman, Noah Centineo as Atom Smasher, Quintessa Swindel as Cyclone and Pierce Brosnan as Doctor Fate.

The story behind hit song "DOTA o Ako" celebrates 10th year anniversary

I have seen the phrase "DOTA o ako" in my friends' statuses and I didn't realize it was already 10 years ago when it came out. The online game has made many relationships crazy because of attention it receives from the gaming community. I also did not know that there's actually a song and music video released during that era until Netlix reminded us about it.

The music video sequel, “DOTA At Ako” features Aikee and Vanessa 10 years later, taking their relationship (and their relationship with DOTA) to a whole new level. The duo also shares more of their thoughts on the song.

“To be honest, I can’t even imagine that my song 10 years ago ay magkakaroon ng sequel at hindi lang basta sequel bagkus sequel ito with Netflix,” says Aikee. “Kaya sobrang saya po ng puso ko dahil nabigyan ulit ng chance ang awiting tumatak sa tao isang dekada na ang nakalipas.”

“I was so excited in general to be working with Aikee again cause it has really been a long time since our collaboration -- 10 years ago to be exact. We've gotten so busy individually with our careers so it was definitely time to catch up and reminisce in a super memorable and major way!” adds Vanessa. “So when I got the call to do a remake I immediately canceled my schedule and confirmed! I knew I was gonna do it! I had to do it for sure! And especially ecstatic to do the sequel with Netflix because I am OBSESSED!”

True to the iconic original music video, the sequel from Netflix features an all-new song done in a cheesy, Pinoy videoke style that will have every DOTA fan singing along.

When asked about what they’re most excited for DOTA fans to see, Aikee shares, “Sa song kasi ng ‘DOTA o Ako,’ hindi nasagot kung ano nga ba ang pinili ko. Dito kasi ay masasagot ko na ang tanong na nakalutang ng sampung taon. At gusto kong makita nila kung paano ako lumipad, hahaha!”

“I'm really most excited for them to see the ending, who we ended up with in the music video,” continues Vanessa. “And I'm especially excited for them to see the outcome because we had an AWESOME TEAM that helped remake this video and take it to that ultimate next level!”

Vanessa also hopes that DOTA fans love the sequel and the Netflix Original Anime series, saying, “Please watch our ‘DOTA o Ako’ sequel! Because it's genuinely for the fans who really loved the song and continue to support and listen to it for 10 years now. I can't even believe it's been that long! So this is our thank you to everyone who supported us and definitely watch the Netflix series because for sure all you DOTA fans will love it!”

DOTA Dragon's Blood is now streaming on Netflix. Watch the trailer here:

Zack Snyder's Justice League Movie Review

Sitting for 4 hours is unnoticeable while watching Zack Snyder's Justice League. This run redeems the 2017 movie that makes it a better version than Joss Whedon's. We don't hate Joss Whedon, but this movie is really JUST GREAT!

Picking up from the death of Superman in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, Bruce Wayne (Batman) and Diana Prince (Wonder Woman) assembles a group of superhumans namely Arthur Curry (Aquaman), Barry Allen (The Flash) and Victor Stone (Cyborg) to take on an alien invasion lead by Steppenwolf. Aside from this invasion, the world is in the verge of extinction by the unity of the mother boxes.

From history, the unity of mother boxes was defeated by the powers of world defenders, including the participation of Green Lanterns - which was a great sequence by the way. The three mother boxes where hidden and protected from the return of Steppenwolf who is up for his revenge after thousands of years.

I can say that this is a good origin storytelling, as we were able to deeply understand more of the characters of Aquaman, the Flash and Cyborg. They each take credit on their contributions to the team and showing equal importance. It is so action-packed, no boring moments, and as I've said, you can't notice the 4-hours while watching it. The Flash got his role more relevant in the Justice League and his contribution is very essential unlike from 2017's just a mere childish lad.

The Justice League (Cyborg, The Flash, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and Aquaman) 

The 6-part movie includes an epilogue that makes us look forward to another movie. For many people like me who does know more characters from the comics, I think we better start asking and read. DC is now establishing a more exciting future for their own movie universe.

Zack Snyder's Justice League casts Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Ezra Miller, Jason Momoa and Ray Fisher. Also with Diane Lane, Amy Adams and more. Now streaming only on HBO Go.
