TRAVEL TO PLACES: PHILIPPINES-- DUNKIN' DONUTS

My Personal Experience: I went to Dunkin' Donuts inside SM Pampanga Branch last year June 23, 2022, by myself for the eighteenth time I always comeback here for the combo deals! Dunkin' Donuts is the first donut brand I know cause when I'm little someone brought me to eat Bavarian became my favorite flavor' when it comes to their stuff donut and Iced Coffee is great!



















Dunkin' Donuts
Dunkin' Donuts LLC also known as Dunkin 'and by the initials DD, is an American multinational coffee and doughnut company, as well as a quick service restaurant. It was founded by Bill Rosenberg (1916–2002) in Quincy, Massachusetts, in 1950. The chain acquired by Baskin-Robbins's holding company Allied Lyons in 1990; its acquisition of the Mister Donut chain and the conversion of that chain to Dunkin' Donuts- facilitated the brand's growth in North America:)

TRAVEL TO MOVIES: HOW I BECAME A SUPERHERO

Director: Douglas Attal
Cast: Pio Marmaï , Vimala Pons , Leïla Bekhti , Swann Arlaud , Benoît Poelvoorde , Farid Afifi , Mehdi Boudina , Gilles Cohen , Léonie Souchaud , Clovis Cornillac ,  Marc David , Carl Ernouf
Plot: While superheroes have assimilated into Parisian society, a new drug gives super powers to mere mortals.


My Movie Review: The movie is such a mostly playful take on the superhero story as showing a modern-day Paris where superheroes are common and mostly around living within daily life:) The idea of a society in which superheroes and ordinary citizens coexist quite naturally is not entirely original or drugs give people powers has been done before' as detective solving things! If you just read the synopsis, you would probably think that it was some kind of rip-off of the Jamie Foxx movie "Project Power" as a mysterious substance that gives otherwise ordinary individuals special abilities sound pretty much like the same plot but it's execution is more fun:) Despite my initial comparison with "Project Power" you can also compare it with "The Boys", this new Netflix superhero movie is a lot less crude and brutal than "The Boys" and has a lot of room to breath cause its not that crowded unlike the rest of superhero mostly team-up movies! It lacks some world building but provides an intriguing story with a light hearted undertone this would be a welcome addition to the superhero genre if the producers expand on this world and release sequels that will given enough time to sympathize with the main characters & the story!

Critic Reviews: How I Became has decent intrigue that turns into explanatory backstory, plus incorporation of the superhero thing to illustrate a psychological gamut...While the story does take a little bit to develop, the film injects so much life into the final act, and it holds certain moments that allow it to feel fresh. The Belgian actor and comedian Benoit Poelvoorde is a delight here as Monte Carlo, channeling a pleasantly soused David Niven. How I Became A Superhero has an interesting premise that it doesn't seem interested in fully fleshing out, leading to what feels like half a film. How I Became a Super Hero is entertaining, funny, and genuinely engaging. While the story itself has its fair share of originality, some of the tropes are way past the point of exhaustion. The shared notion of superheroes living among us and their enhanced abilities dominating popular culture isn’t the only thing How I Became a Superhero has in common with an episodic series like The Boys. While it identifies as a standalone film, in its pacing and structure this feels much more' like the pilot to such prestige television program:)

TRAVEL TO MOVIES: FEAR STREET PART TWO: 1978

 

Director: Leigh Janiak
Cast: Sadie Sink , Emily Rudd , Ryan Simpkins , McCabe Slye , Gillian Jacobs , Matthew Zuk , Kiana Madeira ,Olivia Scott Welch ,Ted Sutherland , Brandon Spink , Drew Scheid , Jacqi Vene
Plot: In Shadyside, 1978. School's out for summer and the activities at Camp Nightwing are about to begin. But when another Shadysider is possessed with the urge to kill, the fun in the sun becomes a gruesome fight for survival.


My Movie Review: The movie is solid summer camp slasher they always said its better than the first but for me this have a different charm so I can't compare love this second part cause it gave us a clear picture what's the story of Fear Street's all about both are great each own way! Fear Street Part Two:1978 is impactful because it adds an unexpectedly bleak poignancy to the characters' fight to survive, as if they're also fighting against a bigger more crueler system:) “1978” foregrounds this self-loathing and focuses on characters with even more angst than those we saw in “1994,” as with Ziggy Sadie Sink fight to the nail to survive with more depth to unravel so strong this could go all as a stand-alone movie with few performances ready to run:) The middle entry in Leigh Janiak's Netflix horror trilogy brings the whole project into focus with a night of doom and dread in the forest that makes it even scarier out almost no where to hide! The gratifications of Fear Street: 1978 are not in its few surprises, but in its exploration of the history and dynamics of social division between the campers, counselors, and the communities at large, offering glimpses at the lives of characters whose actions will have an impact on the events of Fear Street: 1994 as Nick and Will Goode, the future sheriff and mayor of Sunnyvale!

Critics Consensus: A smart and subversive twist on slasher horror, Fear Street Part II: 1978 shows that summer camp has never been scarier thanks to stellar performances from Sadie Sink, Emily Rudd, and Ryan Simpkins. As love letters to 1970s and '80s slashers go, this is one of the best I've seen outside of 2015's The Final Girls. So much of the trilogy is dedicated to expositional scenes laying down the foundations of Shadyside's history, there's too much that's admirable in theory and flat on screen. Compared with 1994, in 1978, the kills were more shocking, the atmosphere more tense, the characters more believable and well-rounded, and the world-building more thoughtful. As far as the summer camp genre goes, this is one of the better ones. Here's the bottom line: these are good, well-acted, well-written [R.L.] Stein plots! Fear Street is not just trading in nostalgia, though. It has its own unique tone, and every chance it gets either subverts or deepens classic horror tropes! Less a riff on slasher tropes than '1994,' but instead a straight-up throwback and quite a good one at that! A slow-moving endeavor that fares especially poorly within its deliberate and excessively familiar first half act:)

TRAVEL TO MOVIES: MAJOR GROM: PLAGUE DOCTOR

Director: Oleg Trofim
Cast: Tikhon Zhiznevskiy , Lyubov Aksyonova , Dmitriy Chebotarev , Alexander Seteykin , Sergei Goroshko , Oleg Chugunov , Mikhail Evlanov , Kystoner , Daniil Steklov , Vitaliy Khaev
Plot: When a masked vigilante's killing spree throws a city into chaos, a renegade detective and his rookie partner are the only ones who can stop it.


My Movie Review: The movie is explosive unexpectedly good superhero movie from Russia  and better than most of superhero movies giving you that extra spice on execution and a kick:) Major Grom: Plague Doctor isn't your typical choice of movie you chose though you should give it a try cause it's worth the ride and may take you on another level you didn't realize exist:) Grom has no superpowers, save for his ability to keep his flat cap on all times, and a talent for vividly imagining how scenarios could play out (similar to Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes), which offers several fun rug pulls yet even more exciting cause you don't know what will he do! It's quite nice surprise a Russian film but one that looks like a Hollywood blockbuster and that's a compliment the film has good art direction and features big action scenes that are not crude! A mixture of Batman, The Joker and V for Vendetta with a dash of stylistic comedy makes this Russian movie an entertaining watch just how they put together is awesome and quite a blast:)

Critic Reviews: Major Grom: Plague Doctor has the modern look and feel of the MCU's or Batman films, and its cast represents themselves well in stock roles. Don't expect depth here, but it's pretty entertaining. The script is nonsense-in-motion. The set-pieces are noisy, messy deployments of such like Bugs Bunny Physics that aren't the most exciting or visually coherent chases/fights I've ever seen. Major Grom overcomes familiarity with a fascinating and upbeat story that will have fans of the comic craving more. Tikhon Zhiznevskiy plays Igor as a man wary of everyone, confident in his ability to win any fistfight, and always, always droll to a fault. It’s all very much more subtle than the typical portrayal of a loose cannon cop more studied than brash and Zhiznevskiy’s performance lends some gravity to Igor that Major Grom‘s formulaic script doesn’t provide. Expect some derivative content, but the St. Petersburg setting for Major Grom: Plague Doctor is novel, the hero v. villain arc have a twist or two up its sleeve:)
