Source: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11698662/

My Movie Review: The movie is such raunchy and sweet but does not meet any expectations put forward by the viewers and critics most especially who expect a well-written doesn't deliver! Sounds Like Love is very charming in the teaser trailer I don't know what happened to the actual movie figuratively and literally very forgettable there's no remarkable scene to remember so let me refresh your memory on what really went down and why the execution fail to impress! The story focus on Maca, a clumsy 30 year-old who lives in Madrid, is stuck as an assistant for an oppressive and terrifying fashion influencer, wasting her talent and spending most of her time with men with whom she never manages to establish an emotional bond. Together with her two unique and loveable friends, Jimena and Adriana, Maca endeavours to make the most of life and happiness, despite her dead-end job, making almost everything possible. All seems to be going well until Maca's ex Leo returns to her life, flipping her almost perfect life upside down. Leo was the biggest mistake of Maca's life, the man who tore her heart apart obliterated her self-esteem and her faith in men. Maca had forgotten all about him, but now she has to accept that he has suddenly come back into her life and she must face those emotions that she has repressed for so long, dealing with the ex who choose career over love is recipe for disaster that's why this doesn't work despite the efforts still can't leave his job they should tried!

Critic Reviews: Skillful filmmaking and good intentions can't overcome botch story that simply crashes! Sounds Like Love is not getting love it exude it's sounds like the critics isn't loving it! This Spanish film has the look and feel of yet another Sex and the City knock-off, but with less of the exuberance or charm. While the cast does their best, Sounds Like Love suffers from an aimless script, lackluster central romance, and overlong runtime. After a point, undermining conventions become tiresome and overall flow of the film feels like it is looking for a redemptive arc that never comes. Elisabet Casanovas is a zany delight as Maca’s offbeat best friend Jimena. Whether she’s stripping down to try to seduce her chiropractor or shoving churros in her best friend’s face after a tough night, she brings a special little sparkle to every scene, perfectly filling the kooky BFF role and tossing in some extra emotional nuance to boot. Sounds Like Love is a great example of a well-intentioned, poorly executed adaptation. Based on the best-selling Spanish book series Canciones y Recuerdos by Elísabet Benavent, the film had plenty of story to tell. The problem with trying to cram all that story into one film, however, is that it winds up feeling simultaneously rushed and overlong, an unfocused attempt at juggling three stories that the film doesn’t quite know how to prioritize or doesn't have clear act!

TRAVEL TO MOVIES: NO ONE GETS OUT ALIVE

Director: Santiago Menghini

Cast: Cristina Rodlo , Marc Menchaca , David Figlioli , Joana Borja , Pepa Duarte , Jeff Mirza , Victoria Alcock , Phil Robertson , Jose Palma , Moronke Akinola , Mitchell Mullen , Vala Noren

Plot: Ambar, an undocumented immigrant, moves from Mexico to Cleveland, Ohio after her mother passes away. She supports herself with under the table job and her savings. In search of a place to stay, she finds a dilapidated boarding house run by Red, who requires the first month's rent up front.

Source: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13056008/

My Movie Review: The movie is quite creepy but in a good way with some very bloody and realistic violence, if you're not good with gore then don't watch this but you sure be missing out! No One Gets Out Alive is rare movie to come by with multiple genres mainly horror, suspense, comedy, drama, romance, mystery, thriller, superhero mix in one spellbinding intoxicating tale! The film might not be a classic but overall it is solid enough as the building, along with the creepy sounds, are nicely disturbing, it has something to say about how it explores the real-life horror of how undocumented immigrants are exploited using conventional horror film construct! Red Welles is the main antagonist of the 2021 supernatural horror film, he is the son of Arthur Welles and the elder brother of Becker together Red and his brother used to sacrifice women to Ītzpāpālōtl to any women unfortunate enough to stay in their house (serving as the landlord.) No One Gets Out Alive builds its suspense through scares both real/ supernatural while I less satisfied with ultimate execution, Jon Croker and Fernanda Coppell script has going in favor! This is supernatural horror with very violent perpetrated on undocumented female immigrants! Based on a novel, No One Gets Out Alive is at best when it depicts the all-too-real nightmare of women who are undocumented immigrants trying to survive in contemporary America as of many people who come to the country looking for a fresh chance she will do fight for her future!

Critic Reviews: If you've ever felt adrift in a new city, or woken up at night wondering how you're going to pay the rent may find this particular nightmare more haunting than most. When Cristina Rodlo is screaming her head off in terror, I was right there with her. A stand-up-and-take-notice feature debut from filmmaker Santiago Menghini. Succeeds primarily in the vividness of its physical environ, impressively decrepit boardinghouse that seems to swallow up vulnerable young women whole. There's enough of a jolt here for horror fans to feel briefly sated and enough for Netflix horror fans to feel briefly transformed. Even if everything doesn't quite work out, No One Gets Out Alive has a good premise and solid performances from Rodlo and castmates. The film's peculiar and ominous storytelling progressed the narrative, resulting in an elevating movie that fights supernatural forces and living nightmares that become too real. The film may be a touch predictable, with some odd character choices, but that doesn’t hurt the overall result. With a compassionate lead, you’re drawn into her story and feel a sense of empathy towards everything she goes through. No One Gets Out Alive is a by-the-numbers meandering horror slogan for the first two acts, but things get interesting in the third act when the film finally decides to show and not tell. There's beauty in its simplicity, using a familiar tale for a fresh metaphor, even if it doesn't break a ton of new ground with its structure that's alright!

TRAVEL TO PLACES: SINGAPORE-- THE PROVIDORE (PLQ)

TRAVEL TO MOVIES: FRIENDZONE

Director: Charles Van Tieghem

Cast: Mickaël Lumière , Manon Azem , Fadily Camara , Maxime Gasteuil , Constance Arnoult , Eva Danino , Bruno Sanches , Eloïse Valli , Nelia Da Costa , Simon Aouizerate , Romain Vissol

Plot: Hopeful romantic Thibault believes he could go from being best friend to boyfriend after sparks fly between him and Rose.

Source: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/friendzone

My Movie Review: The movie is very giddy a spectacle of friendship growing into sunny side love that's fun to watch where the mood is vibrant, adventure like harmless and flowing mellow! Friendzone is a must watch for young audience like me and those looking for a fun escape with loving tender moments of guys & girls want love, even you can watch it with your friends group! People end up getting stuck in the Friendzone for a number of reasons like sometimes they simply don't make themselves attractive to others, sometimes they pick the wrong person, who doesn't match them as a lover, sometimes they are not bold and do not demand a fair trade where their needs get met upfront the good news is that people go from being friends to lovers! What I like about this movie it's light, carefree and brings positive energy I smiled throughout the whole movie, even now while writing this review the best thing I liked about is there's no vulgarity in this film a lot American romantic comedy, and those were full of sex' instead of love! Many long-term relationships have started from a solid friendship first however it's important not to pressure people or play games with the feeling in your attempt- get out of the friendzone! The cast Mickaël Lumière as Thibault is the cutest what a humble awesome guy who needs help from his friends Maud (Manon Azem) takes him on grueling runs to toughen him up, Lulu (Fadily Camara) takes him African dancing to smooth his moves to pursue Rose (Eva Danino)!!

Critic Reviews: Makeover stories are often appealing, and Friendzone adds to that concept memorable characters and amusing insights into male-female relationships. Think of it Friends with less coffee and more nudity and in French I sure did. Netflix’s French film category might be one of the most exciting on the platform; from addictive series like Lupin, Call My Agent!, and The Chalet to original films like I Am Not An Easy Man and Madame Claude, the French continue to give us cinematic gifts. Friendzone on Netflix, takes such a sillier approach than the aforementioned titles, telling the story of a dorky guy who wants to be more than friends with a woman way out of his league. The group are all at the beach for a bachelorette bash for one of their own, and Thibault is the lone straight man at the party. After taking a nude dip in the ocean one evening, he comes to the aid of Rose, who designs baby clothing, when she is stung by a jellyfish. He falls for her almost instantly, and the two grow close, but it isn’t long before she makes clear that anything romantic between them is felt purely on his end. With a few changes, this cast could deliver a memorable rom com with a heart of gold, but with this exhausted, toxic concept at the center, Friendzone falls short. Friendzone might be watchable occasionally enjoyable but I certainly can’t advocate that anyone watch it. Had our protagonist learned anything by the latter, perhaps Friendzone may have actually proved itself worthwhile:)

TRAVEL TO PLACES: SINGAPORE-- PAYA LEBAR QUARTER (PLQ)

My Personal Experience: I went to Singapore's Paya Lebar Quarter (PLQ) last year August 3, 2022, together with my sister. We went there for my first day out and first time visiting this part:) Paya Lebar MRT is interchange station on the East West line (EWL) and it's in the Green Line before we lived near the Purple Line were far from this but now were near so we can explore it!

TRAVEL TO MOVIES: JE SUIS KARL

Director: Christian Schwochow

Cast: Luna Wedler , Jannis Niewöhner , Milan Peschel , Edin Hasanovic , Mélanie Fouché , Anna Fialová , Fleur Geffrier , Aziz Dyab , Marlon Boess , Victor Boccard , Elizaveta Maximová

Plot: Following a terrorist attack, survivor Maxi joins the beguiling student Karl and becomes part of a European youth movement – one that aims for nothing less than seizing power.

Source: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/je_suis_karl

My Movie Review: The movie is uncomfortable to watch with fast shots that hard to follow plus the violence in the rallies got too real, scary and troubling to digest and mostly loud total chaos! Je Suis Karl is such a disappointment to be exactly you watch movie to ease the stress you face in the real world to escape but this is so problematic you can't grasp what really happened and where it's going you're just thrown out to this nonsense chaos and doesn't know it's about:( Who are the ones to make this right? European youth movement one that aims for nothing less than seizing power? Power to who the government then what to do to that power? Just asking!! Luna Wedler made me watch this movie because I like her Netflix Series Biohackers I thought its going to great since she's in it but quite the opposite as' the worst movie I watched in Netflix! If the purpose is clear and we know that they fighting for this could be worth rooting for and a possible turnaround to sell the deal might work with all intense scenes the end should be ease! The director, Christian Schwochow is so focus on creating gripping action sequences he forgot how to tell the story right on the other hand Jannis Niewöhner is so good with superb acting and impressive presence in the stills made an impact his in the making of European Superstar!

Critic Reviews: The director, Christian Schwochow, sets up a gut-punch that doesn't land. Big swings don't count for much when basics of plausibility and structure are so muddled. Je Suis Karl can be excruciatingly on the nose... It is also more than a little awkward that a drama decrying racism barely bothers to have any non-white characters. There might be a better film in what's here, something that judicious trimming and re-arranging of scenes could bring out. While the intention behind this German-Czech thriller may be admirable, too much of it focuses on the wrong story and the wrong characters. Je Suis Karl was not the movie I saw advertised. It’s so far out of balance, and its message is particularly muddled. Throws us in a dark, infinite tunnel. Not quite right. This drama on Netflix tries to make a hard-hitting statement about youth and the far right in Europe, but it muddles basics of plausibility to be honest it so hard to watch! Though spirited performances bring the material to life to an extent, the screenplay never quite manages to make extreme conversion of its main character, who lost her mother and siblings in a terrorist attack in Berlin, credible. This, in turn, makes the project’s prospects beyond home turf something of a question mark, though streamers looking for topical fare will want to take a look. The Berlinale stamp of approval' where it screened as a Special Gala- certainly can’t hurt!

TRAVEL TO PLACES: SINGAPORE-- SUPER SUB

My Personal Experience: I went to Super Sub my first day out since arriving back in outside the area around so PLQ- Paya Lebar Quarter last year August 3, 2022, together with my sister! Super Sub is bringing color to the vicinity with its neon lights you can't help but to catch eye on the booth and get out their hotdog sell put on a bun with overflowing toppings and much sauce!

Super Sub

Super Sub: Creative Hotdog Subs With Gourmet Toppings at Suntec! Located at Suntec City, Super Sub first opened its doors to the public in September 2019. I went to PLQ! Even though their main focus lies in their toppings, they use specially-made chicken hotdogs that are customized and locally produced. When my friend first recommended Super Sub to me, I was pretty skeptical. I’ve always wondered how hotdogs can fill up your tummy because portions always looked meagre to me. Because I’ve always been using IKEA hotdogs as a benchmark, I never knew how the sub's loaded with toppings looked like—until I saw Super Sub’s hotdogs:)

TRAVEL TO MOVIES: INTRUSION

Director: Adam Salky

Cast: Freida Pinto , Logan Marshall-Green , Robert John Burke , Sarah Minnich , Bonita King , Hayes Hargrove , Megan Elisabeth Kelly , Mark Sivertsen , Brandon Fierro , Yvette F- Delaney

Plot: When a husband and a wife move to a small town, a new home invasion leaves the wife traumatized and suspicious that those around her might not be who they seem.

Source: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/intrusion_2021

My Movie Review: The movie is a fun watch to be sure as a home invasion movie of sorts, it has a number of thrilling moments, and lead actors Freida Pinto and Logan Marshall-Green arc such fine performances shine even Intrusion is frustratingly derivative and predictable to watch! Intrusion is a fairly minimalist movie about this couple who has just moved to a new small town the guy who's an architect just built the entire house and the secrets they harbor and their attempts to make the relationship work despite things that threat few uninspired suspense tale! Although thoroughly formulaic, Intrusion is a tightly paced thriller about domestic bliss thrown into turmoil that is executed with play an upscale couple under a mystery film that's so lazy and to a point of mediocre its easy to figure out who's the chief villain long before the movie is over! It could have been insightful or it could have been trashy, but instead it's painfully undertaking, a vapid mélange of dozens of movies that came before it suffers from predictable plot, but that doesn't necessarily mean you won't have a decent time with it honestly like more than I should! Plot twist: Henry kidnapped the missing girl before Meera can help girl escape, Henry corners her in the basement. He insists he has a sickness just like Meera's cancer, that it's not his fault, and that she ought to treat him with a compassion' turns out Henry confesses he's a sociopath!

Critic Reviews: Despite fine work from Freida Pinto as the curious wife in peril, the derivative Netflix film only frustrates. While there are quality jump scares and Marshall-Green gives it his all, Intrusion fails to deliver on much of its promise, stumbling when it should be sprinting. Call it Scenes from a Marriage in a Netflix Thriller, but then again those are generous qualifiers. The scenes from this marriage run flat, the thrills even more so. As yet more content, it's an agreeable option, the simple a-to-b-to-c plot proving involving enough for us to not exactly care what happens but at least see how unpleasant it all gets. There's an incredibly interesting story lurking somewhere beneath "Intrusion," about the way mistrust and paranoia can slowly chip away at a marriage. The film, however, eschews this tale in favor of something a little more rote, and a little bit trashier. If "Intrusion" has one redeeming feature, it's Marshall-Green, whose performance as the husband with a dark secret has a crackling, tightly controlled intensity far more nuanced and persuasive than anything else in the film. Intrusion passes off lack of ambition as ambition itself. Intrusion doesn't have much in the way of thrills, chills, or big mystery. Its secrets are predictable to where the viewer is always multiple steps ahead of the narrative. This is familiar, shopworn story but Pinto works it as best she can, Logan he too:)

TRAVEL TO MOVIES: THE STRONGHOLD

Director: Cédric Jimenez

Cast: Gilles Lellouche , Karim Leklou , François Civil , Adèle Exarchopoulos , Cyril Lecomte , Michaël Abiteboul , Vincent Darmuzey , Kenza Fortas , Jean-Yves Berteloot , Jacques Kounta

Plot: Tired of the so small-time grind, three Marseille cops get a chance to bust a major drug network. However, lines blur when a key informant makes a big ask. A police brigade working in the dangerous northern neighborhoods of Marseille, where the level of crime is higher than anywhere else in France.

Source: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_stronghold_2020

My Movie Review: The movie is much ado about nothing the overexaggerating action helps to surpasses any expectations we may have for a gritty cop drama and its such pleasant surprise! Based on actual events, The Stronghold is a stylish but familiar cop drama that examines the tightrope police officers sometimes have to walk fine line doing the wrongdoings right at back! The Stronghold is entertaining but uneven mix of knockabout fun and seriously compromised policing overall is fine, and has plenty going for it. If you're a fan of the '00s crime TV series The Shield, you will see aspects of it, chaotic but we love that kind of chaos give us adrenaline! The events transpiring in The Stronghold are portrayed in such realistic and dark manner, the grey-black tone utilized throughout the film succeeds the mood of gang life pulse racing auteur that works brilliantly well for the first two-thirds, with strong characters if sympathetically drawn! The final act stumbles though predicament they take a gang in that are selling turtles during a BBQ, Antoine expresses his wish that they had taken the cash from an earlier bust operation! Once Antoine does tell Internal Affairs about his informant, the charges of drug trafficking are dropped and the end titles reveal Yass is now with the police union, Antoine resigned to work as a prison nurse and Greg was removed from the police force' he became a municipal officer:)

Critic Reviews: The Stronghold tries to say something but doesn't have the tools or the right political messaging to deliver it clearly. For cops-and-drug-dealers thriller it be frustrating. The Stronghold is an immersive, gripping drama that's much more than just the suspenseful, brilliantly staged action set piece that occurs smack-dab at the movie's halfway point. In this slickly-produced and strongly-acted thriller, lots of buildup leads to nowhere. An ambitious but uneven policier that wants to be both knockabout buddy movie and action-packed drama with serious, contemporary themes! For all its weaknesses and occasional lapses into cliché, The Stronghold should still get you through a couple of hours, entertained and mostly engrossed. In terms of action scenes and adrenaline, The Stronghold fulfills its contract perfectly, with the film also drawing a lot of its quality! Loosely based on the real-life story in 2012 that found many Marseille police officers charged of corruption, stealing and selling drugs and receiving bribes, this film misguidedly reimagines the story through these 3 White police officers. The Stronghold is an immersive, gripping drama that's much more than just the suspenseful, brilliantly staged action set piece! The Stronghold Netflix is such a outstanding gritty thriller movie. This French thrillers has enough action, style, betrayals and a great script for plenty average does of action!

TRAVEL TO MOVIES: PREY

Director: Thomas Sieben

Cast: David Kross , Hanno Koffler , Maria Ehrich , Robert Finster , Livia Matthes , Yung Ngo , Klaus Steinbacher , Nellie Thalbach , Olivia Castanho , Gabriel Sousa , Andreas Berger (CtGp)

Plot: Roman together with his brother Albert and their friends go on a hiking trip into the wild! The group soon find themselves in a desperate bid for survival when they realize that they have fallen prey to a mysterious shooter.

Source: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/prey_2021

My Movie Review: The movie is thrilling but in a confusing way as it misses its target when there's no direction to follow exciting in premise with unknown results as a hiking trip into the wild turns into a desperate bid for survival for five friends on the run from a mysterious shooter! Prey is such set-up playing field an extremely violent 2021 German survival horror /thriller that could have great if it found its core as centers' around five friends on the run from an unknown sharpshooter set to kill them and makes me think if do play the cards right could been ecstatic!! What's the shooter's motivations? A man hater and has troubled past as the men stumble upon an innocent-looking woman, Eva (Maria Ehrich), standing by the lake, and while they initially think she can help them, it turns out she's the shooter all along so the lesson here first don't assume always think with suspicion cause you never know what's that person would do to you! Prey is actually good thriller has a lot going for it and starts strong however it does also feel long it starts to drag with nothing much to root for and small developments that often shallow! In the same vein as Red Dot Netflix's latest survival thriller Prey sees a group of men on a stag party weekend so second lesson' be careful when going on vacation don't let your guard down!

Critic Reviews: Prey is a must-watch survival film that will make you look around for a sniper in the trees. From betrayal to tragic accidents, there is a weight to Prey that just works, with its antagonist adding the right amount of twist to surprise viewers. When the big reveals are doled out in the final frames, you'll likely rewind it a few times to see if you missed the what's and whys. Nope, it's just one big head-scratcher. At one point in the ridiculous Prey, one hiker being stalked by a killer ventures, "Who says it has to make sense?" That seems to be the guiding motto of this film. All these criticisms might not matter if Sieben choreographed set pieces for maximum tension and showcased more directorial panache, but with Prey, he's merely content to get the job done with drab efficiency. If you ever wondered how boring and frustrating it might be to watch the young, athletic and helpless stagger to their deaths, with little agency in their fate, Sieben's made a movie for you. The main problem with Prey is conceptual, in that it sets up a horror situation that seems fundamentally pointless, with the fate of the men hang in abyss with disappointing misfire that ultimately pales in comparison to its like-minded brethren!!

TRAVEL TO PLACES: PHILIPPINES-- STREAT MARKET

My Personal Experience: I went to Streat Market near my sister condo in McKinley Hill, BGC last year July 29, 2022, together with my sister who wants to try pinoy isaw, chicken, pork bbq:) Streat Market such a cool hangout during a night cap in the city with elusive lights you can only find once in a while as I was attracted to the different colors of juices in the jar's sight to behold!

Streat Market

The Streat Market BGC is currently at the Venice Grand Canal with plans to open in Cubao, Greenhills, Bicutan, and in Las Pinas. It has been trendy among Pinoy food lovers that more street markets will be opening soon all over Manila. The Streat Market in Venice Grand Canal Mall is just the beginning with more coming in the future. The bestseller would be the Korean corndogs, Japanese Takoyaki, and Korean Topokki. They never seem to run out of them. If you’re a big fan of K-drama or Korean culture, then you’re in luck! Don’t forget to take IG-Worthy photos of your food! But one of the most popular stalls at the market would have to be the Pinoy BBQ area. Isaw, BBQ, chicken, pork, hotdog are extremely popular among the locals and expats that they need to refill every time. The Streat Market is open from Friday-Saturday (6AM – 10PM) but it could extend depending on the number of orders-- ordered by the people:)
