As someone who grew up on the original “Mary Poppins”, I was cautiously optimistic about “Mary Poppins Returns”, aside from the fact that I thought that Emily Blunt looked fantastic as the titular lead of the movie, which is something as she is filling the legendary Julie Andrews’ shoes here. The result is a fun… Read More Movie Review: Mary Poppins Returns (Spoilers!)
I normally watch more tv shows than movies, but I am very happy that I was able to watch a variety of different kinds of movies in 2018. I was able to watch movies that were released in 2018 and older, to Asian films. I also was able to watch more Filipino films than before,… Read More My Year in Review: 2018 Movie Edition
Aside from “Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them: The Crimes of Grindelwald” (which was a HUGE disappointment in my books), the sequel to “Wreck it Ralph”, “Ralph Breaks the Internet”, was the only other movie that I was really looking forward to this November.

In 2016, we had “Rogue One”, which nicely filled in… Read More Movie Review: Solo:A Star Wars Story (Spoilers!)
Ever since I saw the trailer for PIXAR’s newest film, “Coco”, I knew that I would be watching it at the cinema when it came out. First off, there have only been a very few PIXAR films that I didn’t see on the big screen; and secondly, I wanted to watch “Coco” as the visuals… Read More Movie Review: Coco (Spoilers!)
To be honest, I only saw a few clips of “Cars 2”, and based what I had heard about it and what I did see, I was glad that I stayed far away from it. Also, because Mater (Larry the Cable Guy) is my least favorite PIXAR character of all time. However, the initial teaser… Read More Movie Review: Cars 3 (Spoilers!)
Admittedly, I haven’t really been paying attention to my “Star Wars” challenge for this year recently, but I think I’m ready to get back into the thick of things as the season finale for the third season of “Star Wars: Rebels” finally aired over here, and as so many Star Wars stuff happened over the… Read More TV Review: Star Wars: Rebels S3 + S4 Trailer (Spoilers)
Among all the Disney live action adaptations, I was the most nervous about this one, as I grew up loving the 1977 film. For some reason, my mother had managed to record it on a VHS tape for me when I was younger, and I loved the film, from the cartoon Elliot, to the songs… Read More Movie Review: Pete’s Dragon (2016)
