Cassandra: Warrior Angel Review.

Last week was the start of a brand-new series in TV5, Cassandra: Warrior Angel. Well, as you know, it replaced too-near-to-become-a-dramatic-teleserye Kidlat.

The first week was good until the second week came up.

Same plot. A girl has a third eye, who finds a person, while battling Philippine mythical creatures. Just, it was added with angels and demons and stuff.

And it's not just a coincidence.

Well, the series' lead star was Eula Caballero. And, she starred in the short-lived horror series by TV5, Third Eye.

So, let's list down the similarities.

Third Eye: A girl finds out she has a third eye. She is finding someone. She thinks that the creatures she fights are clues which will lead her to him.

Cassandra: Warrior Angel: A war happens between angels and demons beginning from the start of time. A demon and a mortal angel fell in love in the 90's. They had 3 children, one who has a third eye. All 3 of them were separated and wiped out of their memories. And then.. the same shit as of Third Eye.

Fact is, Warrior Angel is Third Eye with angels and demons. And, Warrior Angel's working title was Cassandra: The Third Eye Chronicles. So, The Third eye remake was intentional.

That's it, and I'm sick of it.

TIKTIK - The Aswang Chronicles Review!

Last night, I just saw this movie called "Tiktik - The Aswang Chronicles". And y'know what? PHL movies has gotten better, into terms of the horror/aswang genre. But they can't get even more better if we just focus into these repetitive shit of Vice Ganda, and some other comedians with a litte plot and more of those somewhat-in-different-ways-of-delivery corny jokes after every five seconds to one minute.

Anywhore, the movie was just great. Especially when Nestor who is played by Joey Marquez shouts in front of the aswang while he is in anger of his wife's death "GUSTO MONG MAGKAINAN, MAGKAINAN TAYO!!!!!". All that while eating the liver of the aswang. Yes, that's kinda badass.

And what's also badass, is the death scene of Bart(coincidentially, that's the nickname of my brother) played by Ramon Bautista. I mean, what happens when you give a dying person four molotovs, and an almost-empty M16 to beat a horde of tiktik? He uses the gun to kill some of them, two for the other, and then, uses to last two molotovs to kill himself and the aswangs. He's about to die anyways.

Near the end of the movie, you realize that buntot ng pagi can serve as a very cool whiplash.

For the first time in my life, this is the only horror movie for me that, while watching it, looks like one of those foreign zombie movies. And I almost didn't feel the horror in the movie.


Anyways, kudos to Erik Matti, Reality Entertainment, Agostodos Pictures, Postmanila, Mothership and GMA Films for making this on big masterpiece. And also kudos to the people who made the official comic book version of the movie. Especially the Digital Art Chefs, Budjette Tan and the rest of the people who did it.

And......


















































PREPARE TO FIGHT THE ASWANG!!!!!

Nah, just kidding, READ THIS BLOG YOU FOOLS!!!

I haven't updated this blog since I have been more frequent to Komiks groups in fb.

And I'm telling you, I have a small comic book company called(No, not Noir-Style) Fiction For All Comics, you can go to it's fb page here.

Anyways, back to the comics, I'm planning to set-up a booth in C3 2013(Cebu Comicon 2013). Aaaaaand that's what makes me busy(for the moment). Just because of PAYMENTS. HOT DAMN PAYMENTS.

Anyways, we could be prepared next year, I guess.

I'M BUSY, GO AWAY!!! SHOO!!! SCRAM!!!! BLOG'S OVER, KID!!!

THE FILIPINO HEROES LEAGUE BOOK II SPOILER-FREE REVIEW!!!

Since FHL author Paolo Fabregas stated a strict rule of a "no-spoiler" thing to the people who had Book 2 to people who doesn't have it(And I guess it would be gone after 2-3 years). This review of FHL Book 2 is a no-spoiler(according to plot) review. You're welcome.

The only things I could say is that "The Sword" is, was, and will always be a blast when you read and re-read it. And is much more of a blast if you're just done with "Sticks and Stones". Because you'll know what happened and shit.

And PFab's art in "The Sword" was better than "Sticks and Stones". Just sayin'. Well I guess that's why he was part of the "C.B. Cebulski short-listed thing or whatever is was" thing.



And, man, you'll love the references(I'll never tell the references even if you persuade me with your beauty or epicness or badass-ery). There are a lot of 'em so to speak.

In short, everything in "The Sword" is epic. It's just like the best part of the movie(I don't like to say that it's the climax part). The ending will leave you shocked like this:

O.o

Yes, like that. So if you want to have a copy, you better be. It's available in Fully Booked, National Bookstore and more book-selling-shit in the country.

So, if you think there is a spoiler in this review, feel free to comment(It's just that I have the urge to post a spoiler but I cant). And......

WHY DO PEOPLE BLAME VIDEO GAMES WHEN SOME KID KILLS USING A GUN???

Yeah, answer me... WHY?????

I just read a column here that says a kid attempted to rape and kill his mom for taking away Call of Duty to him. And them bitch-ass "lawful dicks" blame the game(Call of Duty) of why he did the act.

Wait, why blame the game when you can blame his parents for giving him a gun on his 11th birthday. And how about we blame his insanity issue, we can't blame that, it's the parenting we can blame of.

I play Grand Theft Auto for a long time, and did I attempt to rape and kill my mom? No. Only insane people do it.

If people blame the game for our deeds, then if we were addicted to Tetris, we are up for cleanliness. If we were addicted to Pacman, we'd be on a dark room, running and eating coins in a repetitive tune. And if we were addicted to Candy Crush, well, we'd probably have diabetes(from eating too much candies).

Fact is, games don't make up the character of a killer. I mean if they did, what would killers in the 1800's play?

Iron Man 3. DO NOT READ. FULL OF SPOILERS.

So, I just watched Iron Man 3 in the theaters. IT WAS AMAZING. Just when everything in the trailer is never what it is. The Mandarin is a lazy-ass actor. Aldrich is the real villain. Tony Stark's armor is a bit fail-y. Why? It failed when Stark first put it on. It just dis-assembles when something hits it(what a sensitive armor!). When it gets hit by a truck, it dis-assembles. When it gets tripped over, it dis-assembles. What kind of armor izzat?


BEST FIGHT SCENE EVER:

Aldrich Killian vs. Tony Stark

Why? You fight a guy who regenerates, and brights up when it regenerates versus a guy who changes his armor when the armor he uses get trumped. When you imagine it, it's cool. Wait, it doesn't end there, There's still--

Iron Men vs. Extremis-injected People 

What? It's kinda cool. Imagine, people fight against A LOT OF ROBOTS(controlled by J.A.R.V.I.S.), izzat cool? It's not just normal people: IT'S GLOWING-WHEN-THEY-REGENERATE-EXTREMIS-INJECTED PEOPLE!

Pepper Potts vs. Aldrich Killian

Yes, Pepper has also injected the Extremis in her, c/o Aldrich Killian of AIM. What do Pepper use in beating him up? AN IRON MAN ARM. Yes, that's just what she uses and needs. Oh, and a pole. And in the end, she's still concerned about her harming Stark, isn't it love? *pukes his lunch in the bathroom* It's great.


SOME THING WE MIGHT RECONSIDER

Yes. Pepper Potts did suit up. Just as a mistake, Stark was supposed to wear his armor(which is beside Pepper at the time), but then the armor was sent to Pepper instead. So the bit in the trailer #2 where Iron Man saves a woman. That was Pepper in the armor. I'm serious. That's her.

No. There wasn't a Marvel superhero appearance in the plot of the film(the part that you will watch), but in the part that you won't watch *cough*the credits*cough* Bruce Banner has somehow appeared, being treated as the false doctor. Stark treats him as a Psychological doctor and told him the plot of the whole Iron Man 3 movie. Banner, if you have just listened carefully, you'll know the whole movie.

No. Tony Stark didn't inject himself the extremis virus. However, he did inject something that could make himself control the armor, all the armors, to be exact.

MOVIE MOMENTS

How Stark beats Killian up, for the moment, is by LETTING HIM WEAR THE ARMOR AND THEN LETTING HIM JARVIS SELF-DESTROY IT. He's that badass. He sacrificed his most-useless-fail-y armor into blowing it up.

Happy Hogan is now officially part of security at Stark industries. He shows off his badge like hey, "badge". He actually did it. And helped the rise of employee complaints by 300%. Nice working, Happy. You might consider it a compliment, anyways.

The different hologram of Killian, when you see it, you feel high in a weird way.

TREVOR SLATTERY. 'Nuff said.

Well, that's it. If you don't know what was I talking about, please do watch Iron Man 3. Thank you.

My TMNT Review.

It's been a long time since the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie was made. So, making a brand new movie for the franchise could introduce the franchise to younger audiences.

Making the movie all-CGI was a very good idea, too. For they don't need people to put on costumes of the Ninja Turtles.

This movie was a bit different to the others where:

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Focused on the characters, and more based to the first issue of the TMNT comic book.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze: Has gone a bit kid-friendly. And it was focused on the turtles' origin material.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: Has gone fully kid-friendly and had turned into a shitty live-action cartoon-stuff.

TMNT(Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV): Quickly turned into the Eastman-Laird comic it was born to be. It was like how a TMNT graphic novel would be.

Even though the movie got mixed reviews, it was a blast. showing that a lot has happened after TMNT III. Leo left to teach himself to be a better leader. Mikey has turned into a mascot for parties. Donnie has turned into a tech support guy. And Raph has turned into(what the comics was) The Night Watcher. And April is not a reporter anymore.

Just, that's it.
