    Wonder Woman Film Hits Another Major Milestone

    Oh, a backgrounder is okay with me. What I meant was the backdrop of the war which took more than half of the movie. My perception was that it had turned into a war movie with Wonder Woman helping the war hero in his exploits. That's not what's on my mind when I went to the theater. But in...

    TV and Film Bleeding Steel - next movie of Jackie Chan

    As expected with the movies of Jackie Chan, Bleeding Steel is a hard core action. And like his produced movie Reset, this is also a science fiction. Reset earned a meager $29 million maybe because the cast was relatively unknown. With Bleeding Steel, the fans of Jackie Chan will surely see...

    Jamie Lee Curtis Returning To Halloween Franchise

    I'm not really fond of horror movies although Halloween films may be an exception. One of my favorite actresses is Jamie Lee Curtis, the daughter of actor Tony Curtis. One movie of Jamie Lee that I remember is True Lies. It is a riot movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger who was a secret agent. They...

    Wonder Woman Film Hits Another Major Milestone

    I liked Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman. She fits the role to a tee. However, the story of the movie was like a backgrounder only. Besides, having the war as the backdrop seemed to be out of theme of the Wonder Woman that we know. In general, I give the movie an average rating.

    India bans file sharing websites

    I am connected with an organization in the movie industry. Officials of our organizations have surrendered to the fact that the internet is a free area that until there is a sort of control in the internet to curtail the streaming and sharing of files, the piracy will continue to flourish...

    Train to Busan is a poignant zombie movie

    Train to Busan is a drama of a father and daughter who are estranged for a time. They meet and got stranded in a train going to Busan, hence the title. Obviously it is a Korean movie. The train was stranded because of the attack of zombies. And the heavy drama part comes when the father and...

    Food channel on tv

    When there is nothing good to watch on tv, I turn to the food channel. It is relaxing to watch that program because it is like the food is being prepared in front of you. But what I like best is when they show the source of the food like the clams from the sea, the vegetables from the green...

    Old Mummy Movie Vs New Mummy Movie

    Pardon me because I don't remember the title anymore but one old mummy movie was really scary that me and my brother screamed in many instances. And to think that we were already teenagers, huh, that was really embarrassing. I haven't seen the modern mummy movies but my wife says that she was...

    American Ninja on tv

    This is one show that never bores me because the competition is exciting. American Ninja is an obstacle course competition that is very difficult such that only a few could reach the finish line. It has created some celebrities in the competitors like Kacy Catanzaro, the first woman to reach the...

    Mixed martial arts is now more popular than boxing

    In the newspaper today are the headliner fights in the UFC - Ultimate Fighting Championship, the premiere league in mixed martial arts. Even if the fights today are not championship fights, they have a pay-per-view which means mixed martial arts fights are not popular. With boxing, there have...

    Wonder Woman 2

    I have seen Wonder Woman and I was quite disappointed because the story was focused on the second world war. In effect, the movie became a war movie and failed, to my expectations, to exploit the character of Wonder Woman as a crime fighter. Maybe in Wonder Woman 2, Gal Gadot will be given full...

    General Discussion Do you follow the trend?

    Are you a follower of trends like the hair dye of psychedelic colors, wearing jeans with torn knees, having a tattoo? I am quite old fashioned but I understand that the young generation has that aspiration to be "in" with fashion hence they follow the trend even if it is not pleasant. When I was...

    How often do you go to movie theaters?

    I was in the theater last week when my wife and I watched Kung Fu Yoga. It is a Jackie Chan starrer. I can't say I'm a fan of Jackie Chan but I love his movies especially his humor. Movie tickets here are expensive so we are discerning when it comes to going to the cinema for a movie. Yes, we...

    Tech Is there a solar energy based smartphone?

    My wife received as a gift from a computer vendor a solar charger for smart phones. The charger however charges the battery only so that means you have to remove the battery from your smart phone and charge it under the sun. We haven't tested it because my wife gave it to our housemaid who was...

    General Discussion Favorite vacation place

    We go to Hongkong every year for a vacation. It is already a habit for us since 2011 when we went there twice. What we love in Hong Kong is the ease of traveling using the train which is fast and convenient. In May of 2017 we have another trip to Hong Kong.
