I'm here again with the Enola Holmes but it's it part three which was released recently in july and i was so hurry to watch it as I can't wait to finish because the second part of Enola Holmes leave some twist for his audience. I'll tell you sure why i was willing to watch it.
image source
In the last scene of Enola Holmes 2, Tewkesbury purpose Enola to marry him and start a life with him, it was a pure and beautiful purposal because both were already in love as they confess it but i like the ring as Tewkesbury knows about flowers so this ring was cute whicg is simply turn a flower into a ring, no diamond or gold ring just like in other movie's or other purposal but it was a natural ring.
So, Milli Bobby Brown once again come as a role of Enola and they're started to make arrangements of their wedding. One day Tewkesbury invited Enola to his home at lunch with his mom and decided the place for the wedding and they decided the Capital city Malta. So, their Wedding ceremony will be held in Malta..... Yayyyy let's see their wedding ceremony.
Image source
Our sweet Enola was in her wedding dress, Tewkesbury was waiting for her at the marriage hall and everyone wait's for her to come and Begin the ceremony. But , here she was confused as she start to remember what her mother told to her, she thought that this wedding tied her as a lady and maybe she have to change for the Tewkesbury and her family because they're a Royal family of England. But she thinks she can't cheat the Tewkesbury as she can trust on him because she knows him.
Enola decided to go to wedding ceremony as soon as possible because she was already late but Wait for moment.....
Where there is Enola how things goes so smoothly lol 😆
Image source
She was on her way, that she noticed someone chasing her cart and she thinks to fight her so pick her gun and what is this a Lady in her wedding gown over the cart and holding a gun, for me it's cool to see as it's a rarest scene I've seen ever. But then she found out it's Dr. Jhon Watson who tell her that Sherlock is kidnapped, so our detective Enola soul woke up once again, she decided to find Sherlock instead of going to wedding hall as she thinks Tewkesbury will understand her position.
Tewkesbury was so disappointed and so his family and friends, Enola came after some time, she told to Tewkesbury about Sherlock, He said that he didn't assume this day as it is. But at the night there was fire in the restaurant and Tewkesbury mother also kidnapped from her room now our sweet detective will find her soon mother-in-law and her sweet brother and this time she alone have to solve the case without the help of Sherlock.
Image source
I like it how she solve the case alone, it was actually belong to Tewkesbury father who has some gold after The battle of Khost, and Sherlock leave this hint for Enola, this is the case of high corruption including government as the main target wasn't the Sherlock but it was the gold and corruption. However the corruption case was boring as compare to the case of previous two movies of Enola. I still enjoyed it but not too much.
Actually the Director for Enola Holmes 3 was changed as it was Philip Barantini and i can't feel the same energy level but no doubt Milli Bobby Brown try to give us the same strength and same energy level. Also the scenery of Malta was so beautiful especially when they find bath place in between the mountains.
Image source
Obviously at the end Our detective Enola solved the case at once and saved her brother and her mother-in-law, but i always love it how her mom appeared silently everytime when she need her. At the end marriage will take place too and it was a happy ending with the I'm his and I'm her's as this was so fascinating and charming.
That's all for today and Thank you for your time and support 🙏
This episode finally gives season three some real direction, and its all because of Bernard, well and Sims who was a bit suspicious already last episode with all the memory stuff he was talking about his kid. Before this, the season had plenty going on but none of it connected, Juliette losing her memory, Camille taking orders from the algo, Sims wandering around without much purpose, different groups hiding from the raiders. Bernard turning up alive near the digger void pulls all of that together because he is not just some guy who survived, he is someone who knows more about the Silo than almost anyone, and him being alive means the story everyone was told about his death was a lie but most importantly the algo has no idea of this even with all the cameras and mics around the Silo, somebody hid him and treated his burns for close to three months without Camille knowing, though its not confirmed how much of that Sims arranged himself. I liked that the episode does not rush to explain the whole plan the second Juliette finds him, he just greets her and thats enough, because the real point is that someone close to power helped bury the truth about him. I also love the double agent traps every where because you got to admin there were multiple times where the nurse couldnt be trusted and then when she say go to room 76 who shows up?! fkn Sims I was like wait a minute who is lying and who wants Jules dead?. That makes Sims way more interesting since he was the one who told everyone Bernard was dead and clearly knows more than he has told his own wife. It also gives Juliette someone who might help her figure out those missing months, since shes already getting pieces of George and the digger void back, so Bernard turning up there feels like it actually means something. First time all season the Silo plot has somewhere real to go.
Sims is a lot harder to read this episode, which is good since his scenes finally connect to something bigger than backing up Camille. Camille decides Juliette has to die in medical and Sims offers to handle it himself, which could have played as another cold move, until Amy changes the plan and makes his offer feel suspicious in a much more interesting way. Amy sedates Emerson, gets Juliette out, and admits someone already asked her to swap the memory drugs before Juliette started refusing them, the most awesome part of all this is how things starts to unfold from Amy to Sims to someone even higher. Then Sims is just waiting in pump room 76 telling her she needs to listen, so obviously Jules just got out from Medical when she though Amy was going to kill her and the got into Pump Room 76 where Sims shows up and she thinks he also wants to kill her, ends up been the total opposite. Juliette has every reason to run from him considering she got no memory, by all means even from Shirley but there is something about her, but the episode gives us enough to think Sim might have been trying to help her all this time, specially trying to pospone Vitam D+ not only for his son. Im not ready to say Sims is one of good guy, he could be protecting his family, protecting himself, using Bernard for information or trying to stop Camille from wiping everyone out through the water, there is something of interest for him, nothing is because of his good heart, and what works here is that none of those options let him off the hook so he still a suspect and cant trust him. If Sims hid Bernard, that was still a calculated and dangerous call. Amy matters more now than before, at first she was just a simple nurse following orders, her choice explains why Juliette has been getting her memory back, and her getting caught make Juliette have more skin the game because knowing her, she would want to save Amy. I kind of wish Juliette had listened to Sims for a few seconds, but her distrust still makes sense and now Bernard gives him another shot at proving what he was actually trying to do.
Billings finally gets a break that makes the Orla investigation feel like it matters and we needed that because this part had been crawling like he was getting nowhere and had no real purpose on this season, I got a big hunch he is going to get on Juliette side soon or latter. Orla did not die from the poison in the mines like everyone assumed, she was hit in the back of the head somewhere else and moved into the tunnel so her body would stay hidden, somebody made sure she stayed lost. Billings still does not know what she found, but everyone around Supply gives him reasons to keep digging, her sister was the one who first called Mike her boyfriend and Mike does not seem bothered shes gone, that was such a killer question "it doesnt bother you..??", Billings was trying to get any kind of emotions out of him but show none so he knows something is going on. Glenda shows back up acting ready to take the shadow position and Carla has apparently been missing for months, none of that proves who killed Orla, and the episode is smarter for leaving it open instead of rushing an answer, I like that because its keeping some of the good stuff for latter, but what really matters is that Orla was looking into missing critical supplies and now she is dead and some evidence can disappear, that could connect to Bernard, the water plan, the mines or something else entirely, since Bernard would need food, medicine and clean dressings to stay hidden, so diverted supplies is one guess, but nothing here confirms Orla found him or that her death came from the people protecting him, probably Orla over reacted when discover the entire operation and someone fat figer killing her. I like that the series is having Billings follow the evidence instead of grabbing the easy explanation.
My biggest complaint is still the Before Times stuff, it moves way slower and with way less danger than everything happening inside the Silo, its like the Silo situation sets the bar so high the side line cant keep up. Helen and Daniel know Steve is gone, his work area got destroyed and the recording tied to Charlotte disappeared with it, they know they might be watched which is why they are staying at Palmers place instead of home and it should make every move like they getting closer to the danger zone as they get closer to the truth of what went down in Iran, but too much of this part is still people slowly talking through clues. The chess game at least gives them something, and just something because its a hunge and nothing really concrete since Steve may have been sending messages through his moves and Daniel asks Sam to figure out who was playing against him, who at first came up with some sht show like he was panicing. Then shows up this older goverment guy who makes the threat clear when he offers Helen a newspaper job and reminds Daniel that Charlottes care is being paid for by the same powerful group they are investigating so they can pull the plug anytime, thats not a friendly offer, its a warning that they can be controlled without anyone needing to arrest them, sometimes giving others what they want says more than taking form them because its a clearn sign of who is in control. My issue is they react way too calm after learning how easily Steve and the recording got erased, their reasons for hesitating make sense but arguing about it just takes too much time and gets them nowhere. Sam calling back gets things moving again but the episode keeps what he says hidden so we are still at the same place, the only thing that change was that they got an offer to shut the hell up and I get they want to hold things but this part needs more than another lead followed by another meeting. The Silo plot has a murder, memory loss, a planned killing and Bernard hiding underneath everyone, Before Times cannot keep crawling at half that speed, they have to spice it up quick.
So far I would say this is the strongest episode of the season because it turns a bunch of separate problems into one bigger conflict. Juliette is getting pieces of herself back, Shirley helps her escape, Lucas tells Kennedy the outside is still dangerous and Bernard shows up in the one place that unlocks some of what Juliette lost because she had some strong feelings from the times she spend with George here, we got all of this characters holding different pieces of the truth and none of them trusting each other. Juliette needs Bernard but has every reason to hate him, Lucas knows things about the Silo but Kennedy will not accept his belief about the outside is wrong, and Sims might actually be helping but nobody should trust him without proof. I like that the episode does not pretend these people can sit down together and sort everything out, the lies are too personal and too many of them have already hurt each other in the past or hurt someone related to them, all this going on and Juliette still dont remember her father, they guy who bomb himself for the cause, so wait until that sink in. Bernard changes things because he can explain part of the missing three months and might know why Sims kept him alive, this season needed that kind of real progress. Bernard gives her a way back to the truth and gives the plot someone who can push back on Camille, but the ending alone is not enough, next episode has to actually use him, explain who helped him, show what Sims wants, and get Before Times to stop circling the same danger, but knowing tv series, they just wont, they know they got us hooked so it wouldnt surprise me if we get a filler episode next. This episode finally feels focused and the season needs to hold onto that instead of turning Bernard into one more secret it refuses to explain.
Hey Hive friends! Today I'm bringing you a review and a video summary of episode 9 of The Great Digital Circus. This episode is the season 1 finale. I don't think there will be any more episodes because the creators said this was the last one, and it's more like a sequel to episode 8. It's a highly anticipated episode for all the fans and premiered on July 9, 2026.
In this episode, Caine, who was thrown into the void by Kinger, does everything he can to return to the digital circus. After a long attempt, he finally manages to escape and also gets rid of the blue AI that was forcing him to do bad things. When he finally arrives at the digital circus, he's only accompanied by the red AI. This AI was the good one, and that's why from now on, Caine regrets all the bad things he did to the characters of the digital circus. Caine explains to the kids of the digital circus that he sometimes behaved very badly because two AIs resided within him: a good one, which was the red AI, and a bad one, which was the blue AI.
He apologizes, and despite his remorse, the kids still doubted him because Caine had always deceived them, but this time it was different. To prove he was telling the truth, Caine decided to reveal who each of them really was.
Caine told them that they were just consciousnesses trapped inside an AI, and that their real selves had agreed to let them live within the AI of the digital circus. He explained that each of them existed in reality with their own lives, and that in the digital circus, they were merely conscious programs.
Everyone was astonished by Caine's confession. At first, they thought it was another joke or manipulation, but he said he could no longer lie to them and suggested they live peacefully in the digital circus because they could never leave. They had no choice but to accept their virtual reality and start making the best of their lives within the Amazing Digital Circus.
Hola amiguitos de Hive, hoy les traigo la reseña y un video con un resumen del capítulo 9 del Grandioso Circo Digital, este capítulo es el final de la serie de la temporada 1, yo creo que no va a haber más capítulos porque sus creadores dijeron que este era el último y más bien es como una segunda parte del capítulo 8. Es un capítulo muy esperado por toda su fanaticada y se estreno el 9 de julio de 2026.
En este capítulo Caine quien fue lanzado al vacío por Kinger, hace todo lo posible por regresar al circo digital y durante mucho tiempo intentándolo logra salir del vacío y también logra deshacerse de la IA azul que lo obligaba a hacer cosas malas, cuando por fin llega al circo digital solo llega con la IA roja, esta IA era la buena y es por eso es que a partir de ahora Caine se arrepiente de todas las cosas malas que les hizo a los personajes del circo digital. Caine le explica a los chicos del circo digital que a veces se comportaba muy mal porque en él habitaban dos IA una buena que era la roja y una mala que era la azul.
Le pide disculpas y a pesar de su arrepentimiento los chicos aún dudaban de él porque Caine siempre los engañaba, pero esta vez era diferente. Caine como muestra de que decía la verdad decide confesarles quienes eran cada uno de ellos en la vida real.
Caine les dijo que ellos era solo una conciencia encerrada en una IA y que sus personas reales aceptaron que ellos vivieran dentro de la IA del circo digital, pero que cada uno de ellos existía en la realidad con sus propias vidas y que ellos en el circo digital solo eran un programa con conciencia.
Todos se quedan asombrados de lo que Caine les confiesa, al principio creían que era otra broma o manipulación de Caine pero éste dice que ya no puede mentirles y les propone que vivan en paz en el circo digital porque jamás podrán salir de allí. No tuvieron de otra que aceptar su realidad virtual y empezar a hacer su vida lo mejor posible dentro del Grandioso Circo Digital.
Hola a todos, saludos. Hoy les comparto la reseña sobre la película Búsqueda implacable 2 se estrenó en el año 2012, en la primera Bryan logra rescatar a su hija Kim, pero tuvo que utilizar sus técnicas de defensa, dejando varios muertos, cuando todo creía ser felicidad luego de su rescate, reaparecen los familiares de estos mafiosos a cobrar venganza.
Hello everyone, greetings. Today I’m sharing a review of the movie Taken 2, which was released in 2012. In the first film, Bryan managed to rescue his daughter Kim, but he had to use his combat skills, leaving several people dead; just when it seemed like happiness would follow the rescue, the relatives of those mobsters reappeared to exact revenge.
En la segunda parte Bryan se traslada a Estambul -Turquia, allí se encuentra realizando trabajos, Kim ya ha crecido y en esta oportunidad Bryan se entera que tiene una relación con un chico, además Lenny le confiesa a Bryan que se separó de su actual pareja, por lo que me parece que él busca esa oportunidad de reconciliación con Lenny pero no lo demuestra tanto.
In the second part, Bryan travels to Istanbul, Turkey, for work. Kim has grown up, and Bryan discovers she is in a relationship with a young man; meanwhile, Lenny confides in him that she has separated from her current partner. It seems to me that Bryan is looking for a chance to reconcile with Lenny, though he doesn't openly show it.
Bryan se dirige hacia la casa del novio de Kim ya que puede seguirla a través de GPS, ella le pide que no lo investigue y que la deja vivir su momento, ya que quiere sentirse como una chica normal. Pero saben que es imposible que el papá de Kim no lo investigue debido a todas sus experiencias vividas.
Bryan heads toward Kim's boyfriend's house, as he can track her via GPS; she asks him not to investigate the young man and to let her enjoy the moment, since she wants to feel like a normal girl. However, they both know it is impossible for Kim's father not to investigate him, given everything they have been through.
Los albaneses secuestran a Jean-Claude conocido de Bryan para obtener información de su paradero, por lo que logran ubicarlo en Estambul, Kim y Lenny se van de sorpresa hacia la ciudad para quedarse unos días con Bryan, lo que parece el reencuentro de una familia más adelante se convierte en una pesadilla. Mientras Kim se queda en la piscina del hotel Bryan y Lenny salen en un taxi, inmediatamente se da cuenta que los están siguiendo en un auto negro, por lo que le da instrucciones a Lenny de que se baje y retorne hacia el hotel, ella esta nerviosa y le pide que le diga que sucede.
Albanians kidnap Jean-Claude—an acquaintance of Bryan—to find out where Bryan is, eventually tracking him down in Istanbul. Kim and Lenny surprise Bryan by traveling to the city to spend a few days with him; what begins as a family reunion soon turns into a nightmare. While Kim stays by the hotel pool, Bryan and Lenny head out in a taxi; he immediately realizes they are being followed by a black car and instructs Lenny to get out and return to the hotel, though she is nervous and asks him to explain what is happening.
Tras el intento de escapar ambos son secuestrados por los Albaneses, Bryan logra llamar a Kim y le dice que han sido raptados y que irán detrás de ella, mientras tanto Bryan memoriza el camino utilizando los sonidos, ¿increíble no? En ese transcurso Kim escapa y el se comunica con ella, le da instrucciones claras de lo que debe realizar por lo que esta vez ella será la encargada de ayudar a rescatar a su padre.
After their attempted escape, both are abducted by the Albanians; Bryan manages to call Kim to tell her they have been taken and that the kidnappers will come after her, all while memorizing the route using only sound—incredible, isn't it? Meanwhile, Kim escapes and communicates with him; he gives her clear instructions on what to do, meaning she will be the one to help rescue her father this time.
Cuando Bryan logra escapar con la ayuda de Kim, los Albaneses se llevan a Lenny por lo que debe de mantener segura a Kim en la embajada para él ir por ella, hay muchas escenas de pelea, disparos, lastiman a Bryan, pero es incapaz de darse por vencido, cuando encuentra a Lenny le da una oportunidad al padre de Marko de Tropoja que escape con el resto de su familia pero el lo traiciona disparando el arma, lo que él no sabe es que no tenía ni una bala. Por lo que en ese momento termina de acabar con él.
When Bryan manages to escape with Kim's help, the Albanians take Lenny; he must keep Kim safe at the embassy while he goes to rescue her. There are many fight scenes and shootouts, and although Bryan is wounded, he refuses to give up. When he finds Lenny, he gives Marko of Tropoja's father a chance to escape with the rest of his family, but the man betrays him by pulling the trigger—unaware that the gun is empty. Bryan then finishes him off.
El padre de Marko de Tropoja pudo escapar con sus otros hijos pero la venganza lo segó, tres semanas después se vuelven a encontrar como familia adicional aparece el novio de Kim que es aceptado por Bryan, en esta parte Kim pudo ayudar a su padre debido a que él estuvo enseñando sobre la defensa personal. Me pareció muy buena, bastante suspenso logró captar mi atención pero no tanto como la primera.
Marko of Tropoja's father managed to escape with his other children, but a thirst for revenge blinded him; three weeks later, the family reunites, and Kim's boyfriend enters the picture—eventually winning Bryan's approval. In this installment, Kim is able to help her father, thanks to the self-defense training he had given her. I thought it was very good and full of suspense; it held my attention, though not quite as much as the first one did.

> El cine de terror latinoamericano que yo he visto por lo general se inspira en leyendas, fantasmas, maldiciones y cuentos de la abuela, son historias que se relacionan con magia y sus consecuencias, de eso se trata Oro Negro una película Argentina del 2024, que en un principio pensé que tenía que ver con petróleo por lo del oro negro, pero no es así.
>
> Algo curioso que me sucede con las películas en español es que me cuesta entender el idioma y lo más chistoso es que es mi idioma natal y el único que hablo. 🤣, pero las películas argentinas o españolas suelen tener actores de su mismo país y sus personajes tienen el dialecto de sus actores, entonces por más español que hablo no logró entender claramente, incluso si están subtituladas activo esta opción para poder entender bien todo. No sé si esto le pasa a otros o soy la única 🤷🏼♀️.

>
> El plan era invadir un convento en abandono y sustraer tesoros de oro y cosas que cualquier coleccionista pagaría. Las escenas de entrada parecieron muy naturales, los personajes eran muy genuinos con un diálogo sencillo y coloquial parecían inexpertos en lo que hacían.

Al final se salieron con la suya, vendieron lo robado y vivieron la vida que deseaban, pero años más tarde comenzaron a ver fantasmas y entendieron que debían regresar todo, pero no podían, así que las consecuencias fueron inevitables.

> ## Opinión
>
> En cuanto a toda la trama, cada vez que venía un nuevo episodio o parte de la película siento que rompen bruscamente dejando confundido a quien la ve, el maquillaje estuvo acorde con el género, usaron mucho gore para poder generar terror. Cambiaron pocas veces de ambiente lo que me lleva a imaginar que no hubo muchos gastos de producción en este aspecto.
>
> Es una película para un público específico, que le gusten los temas de magia y que no sean tan exigentes, a mí me pareció regular no la calificaría como mala, ya que me entretuvo todo el tiempo, pero tampoco es excelente.

The Latin American horror movies I’ve seen are usually inspired by legends, ghosts, curses, and old wives’ tales—stories related to magic and its consequences. That’s what “Black Gold” is about, a 2024 Argentine film. At first, I thought it had something to do with oil because of the “black gold” reference, but that’s not the case.
Something funny that happens to me with Spanish-language movies is that I have a hard time understanding the language—and the funny thing is that it’s my native language and the only one I speak. 🤣, but Argentine or Spanish movies usually feature actors from their own countries, and the characters speak with those actors’ accents, so no matter how much Spanish I speak, I can’t quite understand it clearly; even when they’re subtitled, I turn on the subtitles so I can understand everything properly. I don’t know if this happens to others or if I’m the only one 🤷🏼♀️.
Synopsis
After several years, two friends—Ramiro and Damián—reunite. Damián is always getting mixed up in shady schemes, looking for ways to make easy money, and he makes a proposal to Ramiro, hoping he’ll accept it.
Ramiro’s girlfriend finds out and disagrees, reminding him that he’s been involved in illegal activities in the past because of Damián, but they’re struggling financially and decide to go along with the plan. In the end, things get complicated, and they’ll pay the price.
Plot
The plan was to break into an abandoned convent and steal gold treasures and artifacts that any collector would pay top dollar for. The opening scenes felt very natural; the characters were very authentic, with simple, conversational dialogue, and they gave the impression of having no experience in what they were doing.
Without many clues, they made their way to where the treasure was hidden and stole it; during the process, they had several scares that didn’t scare me 😏, and they realized that stealing those objects would bring them bad luck or a curse, but they didn’t want to back down—though the girl was indeed scared and worried. In the end, they got away with it, sold the stolen goods, and lived the life they wanted, but years later they began seeing ghosts and realized they had to return everything—but they couldn’t, so the consequences were inevitable.
Opinion
As for the plot as a whole, every time a new scene or segment of the movie appeared, I felt like it was abruptly cut off, leaving the viewer confused; the makeup was appropriate for the genre, and there was plenty of gore used to create horror. They rarely changed locations, which leads me to believe there wasn’t much of a production budget in that regard.
It’s a movie for a specific audience—one that enjoys magic-themed stories and isn’t too demanding; I thought it was just okay—I wouldn’t call it bad, since it kept me entertained the whole time, but it’s not excellent either.

Catching a new Spielberg flick is always an exciting prospect, especially knowing it is the director who made his name in sci-fi. He is back with Disclosure Day, an alien movie that feels like an attempt to recapture audience fascination with extraterrestrial visitors. The director certainly has the chops, following his monumental work fifty years ago with Close Encounters of the Third Kind, but this time around, his goal with this new feature seems to be stirring up controversy surrounding the truth and transparency of the subject.
Plot
The film weaves together two storylines: Daniel Kellner, played by Josh O’Connor, is an intelligence analyst who steals classified evidence regarding alien contact from a corporation called Wardex dating back to 1947. The other plot follows Margaret Fairchild, played by Emily Blunt, a TV weather forecaster who suddenly gains mastery over an alien language and telepathy. Both are hunted by Noah Scanlon, played by Colin Firth, the antagonist who will even leverage alien tech to protect the secrets and stop these two characters from joining forces to leak the truth to the world.
Critique
Critical reception for the film has been divided; it has been praised on a technical level, particularly for its cinematography and score. Personally, I felt the CGI fell a bit short. For a movie heavily reliant on that resource, it does not feel fluid or well-integrated into the scenes. While the music does a fantastic job of building suspense, the visuals let it down. I did enjoy the cast, though—Emily Blunt stands out as always. I cannot think of a single misstep from her; she effortlessly portrays a character who is both vulnerable and powerful. The complete opposite can be said for Josh O’Connor, who wore the exact same facial expression for the entire runtime.
Yet despite the solid performances, I think the script left a lot to be desired. It leaned too heavily into old-school tropes, feeling more like an episode of The X-Files than a story committed to modern sensibilities—which does not bother me in principle, but I do expect modern filmmaking to feel more cutting-edge. It also seems Spielberg struggled to strike a balance; there was an overabundance of chase sequences and heavy exposition through dialogue, with very little development given to the core concept, which is the grand revelation of the truth. Despite these flaws, I will not deny that the movie remains entertaining.
Well, last night I treated myself to watching this movie on Prime Video, since I couldn't go to the theater to see it. I had some expectations, because I've known these characters since I was a child; it's one of the most decent and inclusive children's television shows ever. I'd spent a few days watching He-Man videos on YouTube to refresh my memory; even though it had been a while since I'd seen it, I still had episodes in my mind that made me remember it fondly.
Bueno, anoche me di el gusto de ver esta película en Prime Video, ya que no pude ir al cine a verla. Pues con algunas expectativas, porque yo conozco a estos personajes desde que era una niña, uno de los programas de televisión infantil más decente e inclusivo que puede existir. Había pasado algunos días viendo por YouTube videos de He-Man, para así poder tener más fresca la memoria; a pesar de que tenía algo de tiempo sin verla, aún tenía episodios dentro de mi mente que me hacen recordarla con mucho cariño.
Masters of the Universe is a film released this year, directed by animator and director Travis Knight (known for his stop-motion animation work on "Laika" and "Bumblebee"). He expressed great excitement about the film's success, as he plans to continue working on it and has promised a new installment.
Masters of the Universe es una película de este año, dirigida por el animador y director Travis Knight (reconocido por su trabajo de animación stop-motion “Laika” y “Bumblebee”). Este se mostró muy emocionado por el efecto que la película trajo, ya que piensa seguir en ella y prometen una nueva.
It's worth mentioning that this film stars Nicholas Galitzine as He-Man and Jared Leto as Skeletor, bringing a fresh perspective to these two popular classic heroes. The cast is excellent, perfectly embodying each of the Masters of the Universe characters. Given their familiarity with the characters' lore, there were no missteps, and it's important to note that this story is unrelated to the animated series.
Y cabe mencionar que esta está protagonizada por Nicholas Galitzine como He-Man y Jared Leto como Skeletor, trayendo algo diferente de ellos como uno de los héroes clásicos más populares. En esta vemos un buen elenco que le atinó muy bien a cada uno de Masters of the Universe, pues conociendo la historia de estos realmente no hubo fallo, y hay que mencionar que esta es una historia que no se relaciona con la serie animada.
In this episode, we see Skeletor arrive on Eternia, seizing control of everything, taking the king and queen captive, and forcing them to bring the young Prince Adam to Earth, where he becomes lost for several years, searching for his way home for a long time. It goes without saying that they ultimately win, but details like the first transformation are worth mentioning, maintaining and improving upon the fantastic sets that bring what was once animation to life.
En esta vemos cómo llega Skeletor a Eternia, apoderándose de todo, llevándose a los reyes y obligándolos a llevar al pequeño príncipe Adam a la tierra, en donde él se pierde por varios años, llevándolo a buscar el camino a casa durante mucho tiempo. Pues es de más que estos ganan al final, pero detalles como la primera transformación son dignos de mencionar, manteniendo pero mejorando genial que se ven las escenas con sus escenografías que llevan lo que una vez fue animación a la vida real.
While this series has a tone geared more towards a young adult/adult audience, it's odd how some characters' personalities were altered. Man-At-Arms in the animated series is presented as the head of the castle guard and an engineer, a loving father to Teela, but he was changed into a hardened, trained man with pathetic tendencies, such as alcoholism, consumed by his failures. This seemed completely unnecessary to me, but it's one of the things that sets it apart from other He-Man productions, which emphasize bravery and promote personal growth.
Si bien esta tiene un tono más para un público juvenil/adulto, es raro cómo algunos personajes fueron cambiados en sus personalidades. Man-At-Arms en la serie animada se presenta como el jefe de la guardia del castillo e ingeniero, padre amoroso de Teela, pero fue cambiado por un entrenado duro y con actitudes patéticas como el alcoholismo por consumirse por el fracaso. Fue algo que me pareció sumamente innecesario, pero esto es una de las cosas que la diferencia de las otras producciones de He-Man, en donde resalta la valentía y promueven más la superación personal.
I laughed so hard, I got the references, and seeing classic characters back on the big screen was really cool. He's one of the few heroes I admire. While this movie apparently didn't do well in theaters, they're still betting on it by releasing it exclusively on Prime Video, and they're sticking with bringing the hero back with a post-credits scene that reveals the arrival of one of the most famous heroines in this universe. I can't help but notice that a YouTuber I follow said this movie is an example of how cinema has become advertising, but this is common, like Mattel's strategy to keep their characters relevant, and I accept it more if it's a new story and not just a simple copy-and-paste job. If you've already seen this movie, tell me what you thought and if you were already familiar with this hero.
Realmente me reí demasiado, entendí las referencias y ver a personajes clásicos de nuevo en la gran pantalla me pareció muy genial. Uno de los pocos héroes que admiro. Si bien esta aparentemente no tuvo una buena racha en cine, estos aún apuestan por ella llevándola a Prime Video Exclusive, y siguen firmes con traer de nuevo al héroe con unos postcréditos que revelan la llegada de una de las heroínas más famosas de este universo. No puedo evitar ver que una youtuber que yo sigo dijo que esta película es una muestra de cómo el cine se volvió publicidad, pero esto es algo común, como la estrategia de Mattel para poder llevar sus personajes a lo alto, y más lo acepto si es una historia nueva y no un simple copia y pega. Si ya viste esta película, cuéntame qué te pareció y si ya conocías a este héroe.

There might be some spoilers. Nothing serious, but read on your own accord.
When one thinks of Natsuki Subaru they think of perseverance, bravery, goodwill and tolerance.
Throughout the show we've seen him go through trials and tribulations that would make normal men scream, retch and cower. Yet even though he feels all the pain and dies numerous times, he goes in still knowing that he'll come back to life.
Still, is it really that simple?
The Return by Death hack in the anime world is an easy one to understand, especially if you're a gamer.
It's like the world has a checkpoint after the story has progressed to a certain point and if by chance you get killed you can always return to that checkpoint and try again.
It's a wonderful skill to have, especially in such a scary and fatal world. Still, it isn't a skill that is all good because it is such a scary and fatal world because once a man dances with death too many times, he's sure to leave a lot on the dancefloor.
In this season, Subaru and his crew go to the Pleiades watch tower in a bid to save Rem and the people of Priestella from the curse of The Sin of Gluttony.
A mission that seemed to be going well, one that I thought would certainly be their simplest yet, a small side story before the major battle where they might simply bring in a new comrade or a new skill (like all general mini arcs tend to do)
But now as I stare in shock at my screen, I look and I realize that I might be watching the climax point of the full anime, surely the best season of the show to come out so far and most definitely one of the best character development moments to witness in the Isekai world.
Subaru lost his memories and rediscovered the Return By Death hack by having one of the most realistic, graphic and gruesome death's that can happen to someone.
This is a human being that has just come into an Isekai world, straight into a quest with people he doesn't know, things he doesn't know how to fight or how they kill and the fear and full terror of a depressed 17-18 year old.
It didn't take long for his whole mind to start breaking down, from lack of trust to trying to kill others before they kill him, to feeling and experiencing himself get killed 3 times.
He was stumped, and we the viewers totally understood why.
It is very easy to imagine a hero who finds out he can die and come back to life and he won't be affected by dying multiple times.
Yet it's very real to know that even though you'll come back to life, it's a primal instinct to not want to die.
A primal instinct to question why everyone has so much faith in you being brave when you aren't brave, when you are powerless and when you want to run and hide.
Subaru confronts these fears and loses to them. Time and time again, he loses and we as the viewers are taken deeper and deeper into this darkness spiral as his depression deepens.
The storytelling was beautiful, a simple trick of showing and not telling, you're left in awe and dismay as he lashes out, destroying friendships made in earlier seasons not until we go deep into the trauma at the very last episode due to Emilia's help are we able to see a bit of light.
A little ray of hope that helps guide Subaru out of the situation he's been caught in.
This season had a wonderful accomplishment. It didn't show that Subaru was depressed, we knew that since, nor did it show he was weak or a coward or unworthy, that has literally been his gimmick the whole time.
What this season showed was that his power wasn't ever a power, just a curse that he was implementing due to his intense mental will and sense of who he was.
Once he lost that, we saw the return by death curse for just how heinous it truly is.
This season 4 isn't a thriller, I can say it's a slow burn horror, one that would give you chills and would make you pray someone just ends it for him.
It is a masterpiece, and I sure can't wait for the second part to begin airing.

Because of my current schedule with life , as an anime lover , I recently finished seeing Black clover, and honestly? theres no regrets, whatsoever, none, this one earned its spot on my list.
Let me start from the obvious place Asta, is a boy born with ZERO magic in a world where magic is literally everything, so you think about that for a second, everyone around him has some kind of power, some kind of edge, and this guy has nothing but a loud mouth, a big heart, and a will that refuses to quit. I won't lie, in the first few episodes I was like, okay, is this going to be another one of those shows where the MC just shouts a lot and wins by plot armor?, But nah, Black Clover earns it, I mean every win Asta gets, you feel like you were in the trenches with him.
And that's really the heartbeat of this whole series , hard work over talent. In a genre where chosen one and natural prodigy storylines are everywhere, Black Clover said no, yes, let's do the opposite, we give you a guy who has to bleed for every inch of progress and thhat hit different for me, because life is like that too, no be everybody get natural advantage from birth, some of us just dey grind.
Now Yuno, Asta's rival and best friend that dynamic alone is worth the watch Itis not the toxic kind of rivalry where they hate each other, It's the kind where they push each other, where one man's success genuinely makes the other work harder instead of feeling salty. I loved that, it is rare to see healthy competition portrayed like that on screen, and honestly, more friendships in real life should look like that.
And 5he Black Bulls squad , they are chaotic, messy, full of misfits nobody wanted and somehow they became my favorite part of the whole show , because that's what found family looks like, they are not perfect people, but broken, flawed, weird people who choose each other anyway, Yami as a captain who doesn't coddle anybody but still has their back to the end? That man is built different.
See here, the show is NOT perfect, there were a lot of scenes that dragged, some fights went on longer than they needed to, and there were moments
I was just waiting for them to get to the point already, a few side characters got sidelined when they clearly deserved more screen time, I won't pretend those flaws don't exist, because they do.
But here's the thing, even with those flaws, I never once thought about dropping it, even with being busy with life itself, because plenty of shows lose me halfway through when the pacing gets shaky, but Black Clover just kept pulling me back in, episode after episode, because the emotional core never wavered, the characters always felt like they were fighting for something real, not just fighting for the sake of a cool animation sequence.
And can we talk about the magic system for a second? So creative, Grimoires, different magic attributes, the way everyone's power ties into their personality and backstory — it never felt lazy or thrown together.
At the end of the day, Black Clover reminded me why I love anime in the first place, seriously speaking, It is not always about the strongest character winning., sometimes it's about the one who refuses to give up, even when the whole world tells him he's not built for it.
170 episodes later, I'm not just satisfied i'm inspired and that's rare for a show this long to still pull off_ Solid watch...... No cap.
Read the Room is the third episode of Lucky, and this is the one where I started worrying the show loves its main character a little too much for its own good, just too much convinient luck. I was also wondering when they were going to put out her official name and it turns out to be Luciana, she can talk her way out of almost anything, and this episode goes so hard on it that staying alive starts to feel less like skill and more like the universe just clearing a path for her every single time she needs one, not saying that I didnt like the episode but it takes out from it. Her dad John spent her whole childhood training her to read a room and that is exactly why the flashbacks work, they explain how she can slide into some random kids birthday party and pass herself off like she belongs there. My issue is this one stop just hands her everything on her checklist, clean clothes, cash, a car and no one at that party notice or caught her, yeah its a great oportunity but what are the odds every single person was at the backyard and not even one cleaning lady at sight considering this is a part of wealthy people. Its still fun to watch, Anya Taylor Joy sells a lot of that confidence, but there is a real difference between a con artist creating her own opening and a story just handing her a full escape kit. This scene is way closer to the perfect escape kit for me than just pure skills, in real life we call it luck although others call it knowing when to pull the trigger and sometimes its a theory hard to prove or disprove. I want her to be smart, but the show keeps stacking careless easy marks in front of her until any real tension just disappears, at some point the show has to let her fail because right now her confidence feels protected by whoever is writing her checklist, not earned by her.
There are more simple and rough momenets that just work a lot better for me because Lucky cannot control what she is watching this time, she is stuck hiding on a property tied to her mother in law while Dutch is just beating the hell out of a man who does not have any answers everyone wants out of him, and his cooperation getting him nowhere is what makes that scene feel dangerous in a way the birthday party never felt like, its the total opposite because at the party she was in control and now she is a second away from getting caught. Lucky is scared at the stables, actually scared and I like that the show lets her sit in that fear instead of calmly handling everything thrown at her, but then her phone call with John right after matters too, he talks her down from panic in seconds, making me ask myself how did he train her so well al this time that even when she is in total panic mode far away from him all she needed what her father voice, but he is also the same guy who taught a little kid how to steal cash from distracted parents at a birthday party and that is a contradiction more interesting because how can she be so calm? is it just the fact that one situation can get you killed and the other to jail? hhmmm the show makes it hard to know if in fact her talent is just black and white instead of gray areas. She is using his lessons to survive, but those same lessons are the reason she keeps using innocent people without thinking twice. I also felt like the episode never stops to make excuses for that either, she is easy to root for, but nobody is trying to sell her as some innocent victim here, and thats a smart choice on the shows part, this story and the main character are really a roller coster.
The hunt for Cary picks up real speed, faster than I expected thanks to the escape kit I mention before, and I think cramming this much movement into one chapter is because this whole season only gets seven episodes total, aside that this is a mini series so they dont have much time. Some of that speed works and some feels like another shortcut, the same problem as before, but there is one scene in the back half that completely earns itself, a con she runs on a guy connected to a rental property. Her plan here is actually clever, she plays drunk to get close to him, gets her hands on his phone long enough to send herself information about his wife, then uses that leverage to force his help without ever raising her voice, and it is one of the best scenes in the whole damn episode because Lucky is creating her advantage instead of stumbling into it, I know it might sound as a fantasy but at this point in time I have come to realize this is just a story of someone so damn lucky that is absurd so just go with it and decide if you enjoy someone been that Lucky. She reads exactly what kind of guy he is, lets him think he is in control, then flips the whole situation on him, and Anya Taylor Joy is fantastic in this moment, looking unsteady for a second before snapping into someone completely locked in, although this is too damn predictable. I wanted way more scenes built like this one, where her skill actually explains the result instead of convenient timing, because the birthday party and a couple other scenes during this episode just go too hard on lucky breaks, while this rental scene shows exactly why Lucky is dangerous when she just go for it, and it seems like her monther in law and Dutch also knows this, makes me wonder if Lucky did some jobs for them although there is a scene with John where she clearly tells him she wants nothing of it.
This episode turn things way better for me because this episode pulls Lucky toward Cary, yeah very convinient but thats the whole thing about this mini series, there is one task at hand and thats get to know why Cary dump her, the husband she has been chasing and closing that gap this early feels like the right call because the personal betrayal here is more interesting than another hour of address chasing or arguing who is going to die because there is 10 million missing. Cary left with a pile of money and built himself a comfortable life somewhere quiet while Lucky spent all of this time running, stealing and eating actual shit just to survive, and everything she finds tells her he did not vanish because he got scared and confused, he planned this out for himself, and I wonder if Cary is going to be able to talk her down and get Lucky on his side again, she is mad AF so its going to be interesting. This is why John warns her at one point that she is thinking with anger instead of her head and he is totally right about it, even though its a strange piece of advice coming from the same guy who helped build the criminal life she is stuck inside, somewhere down the line she got into the family business or became John partner. Lucky has every reason to be furious, but rushing toward kicking the hell out of Cary wont get her answers, so far she has not show any sadness as a wife who gets dump the way he did, any other woman must feel terrible but Lucky is so calculative that she shows nothing, reason why I think episode 4 is going to show some of those feelings towards what Cary did to her. Feelings about Cary mess with her training, this is where I think the episode finally hands her a problem that her dads whole rulebook does not have an answer for.
I got to say it was a good episode but only when you take out the obvious and look more into the inner problems of Lucky. Agent Rand is pulling on her thread, Priscilla can feel the walls closing in, and Wayne has his people looking too, so next week should be a mess, except this show has already shown how fast it clears a path when Lucky needs refuling her luck and I dont want another convenient distraction letting everyone off the hook before the hard conversation happens, Wayne did told Priscilla "I found your boy" so that adds a lot of sauce because considering how convinient and predictable the show is, Cary and Lucky might join again to escape Wayne's guys. There is enough real personal conflict now for the show to slow down and let Lucky sit with whatever Cary says, and reckon with the fact that Priscilla and John have both spent years making choices for their kids without asking what they wanted, Priscilla says she is protecting her son but roles with very cruel and dangerous people like Dutch and Wayne, and John wants his daughter safe but his own training is why she survives by lying and stealing every day of her life, so why not lie to her father too?!. Those choices give this whole thing something stronger than a standard crime chase, closer to watching two parents convince themselves they did right while the damage piles up around and against their kids. This episode was a fun one, specially if you root for Lucky and the cast keeps every scene moving forward even when the coincidences pile up and get a little annoying, but I need the next episodes to stop being so gentle with Lucky, because if this show wants people to stay hooked it needs to truts more on her tallent to save her sometimes and her mistakes to actually cost her something the rest of the time, otherwise the whole thing risks feeling like a story that only lets its lead win.
There are mothers and fathers who spoil their children until it is too late, but it is not entirely their responsibility. I believe there comes a point where these children know exactly what they are doing and simply ignore their consciences. The villain of this story is a perfect example of all the above 🫣🫣
Clash of the Titans from 1981 is a quite old film. Many may have seen the remake, but I prefer the retro style, and I strongly believe that this masterpiece remains and will continue to be superior.
It is highly dynamic in terms of battles and the presentation of creatures. However, these mythologies always try to teach us something. The Gods, and I believe even God, have emotions that are exactly the same as ours as humans.
Hay madres y padres que malcrian a sus hijos hasta que es demasiado tarde, no todo es su responsabilidad porque esos hijos pienso que llega un punto en que saben lo que hacen e ignoran sus conciencias, el Villano de esta historia es un ejemplo de todo lo anterior 🫣🫣
Clash of The Titans de 1981 es un film bastante lejano, muchos habran visto el remake pero yo prefiero lo retro, pienso contundentemente que esta obra sigue y seguira siendo superior.
Es muy dinamica en cuanto a Batallas y oresentacion de Criaturas pero siempre en esas mitologias nos quieren enseñar cosas, Los Dioses y pienso que hasta Dios tiene emociones que son las mismas de nosotros los humanos.
In this case, we see the misguided love of a mother who grants the wishes of a son who has no appreciation for the lives of the beings around him.
Here is my critique of the film, this message is perceived very weakly, conveyed through a light line of dialogue instead of being shown with a scene that actually displays the villain's lack of affection for other living things.
As is typical with audiences, what attracts people the most are conflicts of love and heartbreak. In that regard, the villain truly delivers his role alongside the hero Perseus and Princess Andromeda 🙂🙂
Now, even more than the above, the visuals triumph over the story itself when it comes to the creatures. Medusa, WooooW!! I am leaving a titanic exclamation here because, to me, she is still the best part of the film. Not only because of how terrifying she is, but her violent end and the cruel way she is used to achieve victory are deeply impactful—in my case, very positively.
It makes me so glad they didn't tone it down, because it brings so much life to the action they want to convey. And as a kid when I saw it, I wasn't traumatized at all... I WAS THRILLED!! 🤩🤩
En este caso se muestra el amor desviado de una madre que concede los deseos de un hijo que no aprecia la vida de los seres que le rodean.
Aqui dejo una critica al film porque este mensaje se percibe muy debilmente, con una linea de dialogo ligera en vez de mostrarla con una escena que muestre esa falta de afecto del villano por otros seres.
Como es tipico en las audiencias, lo que mas atrae es los conflictos de Amor y Desamor, alli si que el Villano cumple su rol junto al Heroe Perseo y la Princesa Andromeda 🙂🙂
Ahora, mas que lo abterior, lo visual se impone sobre la misma historia es con las criaturas, Medusa WooooW!! Dejo una exclamacion Titanica porque para mi sigue siendo lo mejor del film, no solo por lo terrorifica que es, su desenlace violento y la forma cruel en que es usada para la victoria impacta, en mi caso muy positivamente.
Como me alegra esto no lo suavizaron porque le da mucha vida a la accion que se quiere transmitir y yo como niño cuando la vi para nada quede traumado .... YO QUEDE FELIZ!! 🤩🤩
The opinion I want to know the most about this movie is from those who read my posts and belong to the new generation. Specifically, that audience that is more adapted to today's CGI effects, given that the magic and what made Clash of the Titans of 1981 so successful is how it turned mythology into stop-motion—a technique that I consider has been forgotten, just like the Greek Gods 🙁🙁
I know that those from the 80s and 90s generations who watched this film understand and appreciate the added value of this story executed in stop-motion. You know it is among the best there is when it comes to stories of mythological conflicts. I know it too, I recently rewatched it, and it captured me all over again with its full range of fantastic characters that move so cool, haha 😜😜
De esta pelicula la opinion que mas quiero conocer es de aquellos que me leen y son nueva generacion, esa audiencia en especifico que estan mas adaptados a los efectos de hoy dia hechos por CGI, ya que la magia y lo que hizo tan exitosa a Clash of the Titans de 1981 es el como convirtio Mitologia en Stop Motion, una tecnica que considero a quedado en el olvido al igual que los Dioses Griegos.
En las generaciones de los 80 y 90 se que quienes vieron este film, saben y aprecian el valor agregado de esta historia ejecutada como Stop Motion, ustedes saben que es de lo mejor que hay en cuanto a historias de conflictos mitologicos, yo lo se, recientemente la volvi a ver y me volvio a capturar con todo el abanico de personajes fantasticos que se mueven muy cool jaja 😜😜
I dedicate each and every one of my posts and videos to my little dog named princess, we called her chiquito, she is no longer with us but from heaven she will see that her existence was valuable and the most beautiful thing that will exist in my heart and soul.

This is maybe a first for me, but definitely not the last. I like action movies, but can't stand those made in the US anymore. Unfortunately this genre took a turn and went in a direction I can't stand anymore. When the focus is solely on what tough guys the elite force members are, on how to show off and suffocate the viewers with stupid jokes, I'm out. What the US has done with these action movies makes your stomach turn. Most likely I'm going to ruffle some feathers with this paragraph, but that's the truth. Anyway, let's get back to the movie.
Elite Force, or GIGN is a French series released on July 2026, it is different and definitely worth watching.
France's top-tier police unit, GIGN, tackles high-stakes missions. These elite officers specialize in counterterrorism, rescuing hostages, and safeguarding government VIPs. They're the go-to force when national security is on the line.
The story starts with training new recruits but revolves around an old case, that is connected to the present in many ways. David Berger (Tomer Sisley) is training new recruits and planning to retire, when a terrorist group hits an army vehicle transporting guns, explosives and kills a few officers in the process. As it happens in these cases, it's an all hands on deck as both the guns and the explosive has to be retrieved before anything bad happens. David Berger along with his unit, starts an operation to capture the culprits.
As no matter how good you are, nothing is straight forward in this business and things get complicated pretty soon and not only with the mission, but also with Max Villiers (Tristan Zanchi), a new recruit he seems problematic at the beginning for David, but it turns out, there's more to it, a lot more. He doesn't get the same treatment as the rest of the pack.
This incident forced David to reconsider his retirement and joins the team to help them get the stolen ammunition back As the case evolves, we get more questions, old secrets surface and things get really complicated for everyone.
The story is combining action with family drama which makes it more interesting. The script writers made sure to keep a healthy balance between the two and even though at some point you have your suspicion about where the story wants to go, it's still enjoyable.
What I need to mention here is that the writers didn't want to go commando, create a regiment of Rambos and kept the scenes real, without exaggeration. The characters are well written, no unnecessary stories or characters. From moral point of view, we get some action outside the line that is going to make put yourself in their shoes and ask what you'd have done, but obviously it's easier to judge in front of the TV.
The series has six episodes and as I always go in blindly, I thought that's all we got, but the last episode ended with a cliffhanger, that made me realize there will be a second season (unless they cancel it due to insufficient funds, but I hope not). I personally am happy we get to see a second season and hope they are going to make it meaningful and not ruin it as sometimes happen.
If you're fed up with the exaggerated Hollywood action movies, give it a try. You won't regret it.
By the way, my French is basic, so I chose English and can say it is really good. They kept the dubbing real, no slang and stupid accent that has no place in a French movie.
