Believer (2018)

This one, I had to see because of Ryu Jun Yeol. I didn't hesitate when I saw that he's a part of the cast. And boy, he did a great job. Superb acting. He may not be that good looking but his acting was really on point. The story was really good. The twists and turns were really well played to give the audience the shrill and thrill. You would feel rage towards some characters and you'll question the inhumane tendencies of people. You'll witness the true evil brought about by drugs and how these substances devour humans. I'm never really a fan of crime dramas and movies, but this movie sparked my interest in this genre. And I'm thinking of watching more.

The King (2017)

Watched this the day after watching Believer. Well, for obvious reason, because of Ryu Jun Yeol. I'm a huge fan. While Believer was focused on cops and drug dealers, this one deals with prosecutors and power. The film revolves with the people trying to be king of the law and perhaps, the country. It was really mind opening how men of power try to manipulate things just so they can have their way. Of course, Ryu Jun Yeol's acting, was superb in this movie. Contrary to his role in the Believer, his role in the King was loyal.

I'm really thankful for his many projects. Just so I could witness him showcase his acting skills. I'm truly proud of him. A fan.

Anne with an E

I came across this series while browsing twitter. One account I'm following was obsessed with this show. So, I watched the first season. And then it hit me. The show was "divine". It was one of my favorite time settings, the 1900's. Twentieth century Canada, was quite similar with that of the British, if I may compare. (This comment was based on watching too much tv and films.) 

Anne was not your typical, heroine. She's strong and independent, but what I like the most about her is she's open-minded. She also, has a certain way with words. You couldn't help but admire her choice of words and how she puts them together to convey her thoughts. That was a another reason why I love her. Also, she's a free spirit. "A kindred spirit", to quote her. The second season premiered this month, and just last night, I'm left with that longing for season 3, having watched the season finale of season 2. How could I wait a year? Well, I don't have a choice but to put up with it.

P.S. I really love the opening credits of the show. So much aesthetics.  

The Good Doctor

This is a long overdue post on The Good Doctor. I've done watching season 1 of this series for quite some time now, but I wasn't able to post. So, here it is. 

This is a remake of a Korean Drama with the same title, which, I've also watched before. They changed some things with the American version, but it has made the plot more exciting. The actor, Freddie Highmore, did  a good job of being Dr. Shaun Murphy. I like his acting too. Some scenes, are also quite funny. Also, the other supporting characters are really good too. The series, is also educational. It gives us, viewers, some ideas of medical conditions that we are not familiar with. And how the doctors deal with all the medical drama and personal life. I would give season one, 4 of 5 stars. And I'm looking forward to the next seasons to come.

Pueblo Science: RISE 2018

I really enjoyed the experience. It was worth it. The learning experience was really fun and interesting subjects were discussed. The lecturers/teachers are really amazing people. They are masters in their filled of expertise. I mean, literally masters. They already earned their masters degree, despite being super young. They came from prestigious universities, i.e. University of the Philippines, University of Toronto. They are doing the Pueblo Science for a good cause. They volunteered to help advocate in teaching teachers cool, simple, attainable ways in teaching science in the communities. Cool, right? Never a dull moment in the three-day seminar. I had a good time. I've met new friends as well. 

This is Boss Dylan. He was my classmate back in MSU. He came with me to attend this seminar. I kinda drag him along, just so I have someone with me. :)

This was my group during the seminar. They were from different schools all over region XI. I really enjoyed their company. :)

These are the amazing teachers. Cool and intelligent people. It was an honor to be with the same room with them. :)

My favorite teacher. :) He's a biochemist. It took me a lot of courage just to say "Can I have picture with you, sir?", hence, this picture.

I'm so happy with this photo. hihihi

P.S. I hope to join next year's Pueblo Science and enjoy myself with their various science experiments. Shoutout to Boss Dylan for coming with me. Thank you, boss. Next year ulit :)

Thoughts on The Agonizing Ending of Infinity War

Before watching the Avengers: Infinity War, I wanted to prepare myself for it, so I decided to watch/re-watch the movies prior to Infinity War. And it was 18 movies!!!! I really tried to ready myself, so I could understand the happenings in the movie that I'll watch (Infinity War). 

Okay, to start with, can I just say that I''ve fallen in love again with Captain America. Chris Evans is just perfect for the role. He's the leader and a soldier. Firm in decision making, also rational. I like that about him. Another character I like is Bucky. hihi. Also, can we just talk about how Black Widow's so sexy with her hair blond.

Going back to Infinity War: The movie's ending scenes will blow your mind and heart away with utter shock and sadness. I get Thanos' point in wiping half the humanity to cleanse Earth. I guess, he will try to revive earth with people that he thinks will make the planet a little bit better. But who is he to judge, whether you stay or not, right? It doesn't really makes sense sometimes. Just like how life's not making sense sometimes. So, when he's doing this wiping clean thing, some of the Avengers were included. They just turned to nothing. Just. Like. That. Who wouldn't be sad with that? When some of your beloved heroes, gone without leaving any trace at all. 

But, still, I hope for the best. When you're watching a Marvel movie, you have to see it until the end of the credits, for upcoming previews on the next movies. So, it was Nick Fury and Agent Hill in a city setting, maybe New York, I'm not quite sure. And they, also, turned to nothing, but seconds before that, Fury got a pager to call someone. I read a few things online to get ideas on the post-credit scene after watching the film. So, it turns out, Fury was trying to contact Captain Marvel for help. And guess what? Captain Marvel will be the next featured hero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I'm really just hoping that Captain Marvel will be able to help our heroes. And hopefully, bring those that were gone back, alive and awesome. 

P.S. I need maybe a week, to get over the horrible ending of Infinity War. I hope that you, too will be able move on as well.
