I grew up loving any movies that center around super heros. They always give me this sense of fulfilment and entertainment that no other movie gave me. In the categories of the movie I actually watch, there was one I recently watch that really catch me emotionally and that is SMALLVILLE. For me, even though it was a TV series, I still see it as a movie most especially the way the story of the movie was really narrated.

Even though I was not in America as that is where the movie was shot, but watching the movie from Nigeria gave me another connection to the story. If there is actually something that makes me feel connected to the movie, I will say it is strongly the life lessons I was able to pick from the movie most especially in the aspect of understanding your purposes and being able to deal with challenges.
Let me even start by talking about the plot before diving into the review. The story center around a kind couple whose name was Jonathan and Martha Kent. They found a baby boy who came from another planet called the Krypton planet. That was the first time I will hear about the planet. They pick him up and raised him to become their own son. They eventually named him Clark.
Clark is the major cast in the movie. Even though as he grew up, he faced a whole lot of challenges. He was able to discover that he was not an ordinary boy unlike the others and he discover he has super power like having massive speed and others. He can even fly. He tried several times to live a normal life as he was trying to hide his powers but it was not possible.


He needs to act as the hero because a lot of wicked super people are rising up to destroy the city and Clark will need to stop every one of them. Along the way, he make mistakes actually and learn from it. At the end of the day, he actually grew into the superman that we all know but the journey was not really easy.
Now back to my own review, I will say watching the movie as a Nigerian really changes a whole lot of things about me. I was able to get soaked in the idea of purpose, family and identity. These are the three major ideas that make me stand still to the movie.
For me, Clark whose real name was Tom Welling really played the role perfectly. He a really acted well and was able to put in the emotional connection to it. If there is something I learnt, it was the fact that your closest friend today can become your enemy tomorrow. I am talking about Lex Luthor in the movie.


One of the things I really love so much about the movie is also the picture quality, the music used and even generally the settings of the movie was amazing. Even though sometimes I feel some stories in the movie are repeated but looking at the bigger story still makes me glued to it. For me, I love the fact that the movie was not rushed. Even though Clark have amazing super powers, he didn't start as a superman instantly. This also gives me a life lesson that sometimes success does not come in a day, we will need to learn and need time.
For me personally, the movie smallville was beyond just the usual superhero movie I usually watch. It opened my eyes to see the aspect of life in the aspect of who one should be, the important of learning to do the right thing even though it might be difficult sometimes. Every great thing started small. It is a movie I can watch over and over again without not getting tired.
Most of the time whenever I was watching the movie, I always see myself in Clark. As a young guy who sometimes faced confusion because I am in search of my purpose and trying to attend to the demands of life. Smallville is a movie everyone should watch.

Gattaca PG-13 1997 ‧ Sci-fi/Thriller ‧ 1h 46m
Below I continue my dystopian movie series with my third discussion about a nineties dystopian future film.
Gattaca and the Future It Saw Coming
The 1997 movie Gattaca imagined a future where your DNA decides everything — your job, your social status, even your chances at love or freedom. At the time, it felt like a cool, stylish sci-fi film. But now, with things like genetic testing kits and gene-editing tools becoming more common, Gattaca feels less like fiction and more like a warning.
In the movie, people who are born naturally are considered flawed. The world is run by those who were genetically engineered to be stronger, smarter, and healthier. The main character, Vincent, wasn’t engineered, but he has big dreams — like becoming an astronaut. To get there, he has to fake his identity and pretend to be someone with “perfect” genes. It’s a powerful story about how labels and limits can be forced on us, even when we’re capable of so much more.
What’s creepy is how close some of this feels to real life. Today, companies are collecting genetic data. Insurance providers and employers are already talking about using it to make decisions. Algorithms and risk profiles are starting to shape how people are treated. It’s not exactly like Gattaca, but it’s heading in that direction — and the movie reminds us how dangerous that can be.
Still, the heart of Gattaca isn’t just about the dangers of technology. It’s about how human determination can beat the odds. Vincent doesn’t let a bad “genetic score” stop him. He pushes forward and proves that who you are isn’t written in your DNA. That message still hits hard today.
If anything, Gattaca is more important now than ever. It asks us to think about the future we’re building. Just because we can control certain things with science doesn’t mean we should. And maybe the most human parts of us — our flaws, our struggles, our dreams — are the things we need to protect most.

Hola, amigos de la comunidad de Movies & Tv. Espero que se encuentren muy bien y estén pasando un excelente fin de semana ✨. Hace unos días estuve buscando algo que ver en la televisión con mi hermana y mirando su watchlist de Letterboxd, nos encontramos con la película Submarine. Está película es algo antigua, tiene más de una década desde que salió y tiene muy buenas reseñas por lo que decidimos verla además de interesarnos la playlist compuesta por Alex Turner vocalista de la banda Arctic Monkeys, una de las bandas favoritas de mi hermana así que sin pensarlo tanto la vimos y nos gustó. Los invito a leer mi reseña 💫.
Hello, friends of the Movies & Tv community. I hope you are doing great and having a great weekend ✨. A few days ago I was looking for something to watch on TV with my sister and looking at her Letterboxd watchlist, we came across the movie Submarine. This movie is kind of old, it has more than a decade since it came out and it has very good reviews so we decided to watch it besides being interested in the playlist composed by Alex Turner vocalist of the band Arctic Monkeys, one of my sister's favorite bands so without thinking so much we watched it and we liked it. I invite you to read my review 💫.


Trama | Plot
Oliver Tate (Craig Roberts) es un joven adolescente de quince años quien vive con sus padres, una pareja bastante unida aunque con muchos problemas de comunicación y con una crisis matrimonial que pone a Oliver entre la espada y la pared. Mientras que Oliver intenta salvar la relación de sus padres también le toca convivir con los problemas en la escuela siendo blanco de bullying por parte de algunos compañeros de clase, aunque intenta pasar desapercibido no puede evitar fijarse en una joven llamada Jordana, que desde el primer momento en que la vió sintió una atracción hacia ella.
Oliver Tate (Craig Roberts) is a fifteen year old teenager who lives with his parents, a couple quite close but with many communication problems and a marital crisis that puts Oliver between a rock and a hard place. While Oliver tries to save the relationship of his parents also has to live with the problems at school being the target of bullying by some classmates, although he tries to go unnoticed can not help but notice a girl named Jordana, who from the first moment he saw her felt an attraction to her.


Opinión | Opinion
La historia de Oliver es acerca de un joven pasando por la crisis de la edad en la que se encuentra y todos los problemas que empieza a tener al sentirse como un bicho raro, además de que tiene mucho temor a que sus padres decidan divorciarse. Es comprensible su miedo, muchos hemos vivido la separación de nuestros padres y es algo que de alguna forma marca un antes y un después y para alguien tan joven y siendo hijo único es mucho más grande el temor a los cambios y a un posible rompimiento de lo que es su familia.
Oliver's story is about a young man going through an age crisis and all the problems he is starting to have feeling like a freak, plus he is very afraid that his parents will decide to divorce. His fear is understandable, many of us have experienced the separation of our parents and it is something that somehow marks a before and after and for someone so young and being an only child is much greater the fear of change and a possible breakup of what is his family.

El personaje de Oliver es muy intenso con sus emociones, también es bastante torpe y a la vez es muy curioso -demasiado diría yo- mientras sigue a su madre que aparenta tener una aventura con un amor del pasado. Esto hace que la historia se sienta en parte algo cómica, ya que ver cómo Oliver busca y le da consejos a su padre como si el fuera el adulto, muestra que es alguien sumamente sensible y que también merecía tener un poco de comprensión y de un amigo con el que pudiera contar para desahogarse.
Oliver's character is very intense with his emotions, he is also quite awkward and at the same time he is very curious -too much I would say- as he follows his mother who appears to be having an affair with a past love. This makes the story feel somewhat comical in part, as seeing how Oliver seeks and gives advice to his father as if he were the adult, shows that he is someone who is extremely sensitive and also deserved to have some understanding and a friend he could count on to vent to.

Luego con la llegada de Jordana todo se vuelve un caos -ella misma es el caos- y no es para menos cuando siente que es la primera vez que se enamora de una chica de verdad, con todo lo que implica tener una relación con alguien que es totalmente diferente a él, ella es extrovertida y tiene una mentalidad más liberal, siempre busca la manera de divertirse aunque sea a costa de disfrutar de cómo molestan a otras personas, pero más allá de eso, ella también tiene problemas personales y lucha con la enfermedad que padece su madre.
Then with Jordana's arrival everything becomes chaos -she herself is chaos- and it is not for less when he feels that it is the first time he falls in love with a real girl, with all that implies having a relationship with someone who is totally different from him, she is extroverted and has a more liberal mentality, always looking for ways to have fun even at the expense of enjoying how they annoy other people, but beyond that, she also has personal problems and struggles with the disease that her mother suffers from.

El romance se da de una forma un tanto rara, pero empiezan a conocerse y por una u otra razón se entienden mutuamente aunque son dos polos opuestos, está relación es cómo un carrusel, tiene sus subidas y bajadas, pero de alguna manera tanto Oliver como Jordana se dan el apoyo que tanto necesitan en ese momento y estar el uno para el otro hace que se sientan aún más seguros de que pueden tener una relación aunque ambos sean extraños en diferentes sentidos, está relación se muestra tan infantil e incluso tonta en muchos instantes y se siente como una historia de romance adolescente más pero aunque no es de las mejores películas tiene sus cosas a favor.
The romance happens in a weird way, but they start to know each other and for one reason or another they understand each other even though they are two polar opposites, this relationship is like a merry-go-round, it has its ups and downs, but somehow both Oliver and Jordana give each other the support they need so much at that moment and being there for each other makes them feel even more confident that they can have a relationship even though they are both strangers in different ways, this relationship is so childish and even silly in many moments and it feels like just another teenage romance story but even though it is not one of the best movies it has its things going for it.

Me gustó mucho que dieran la imagen de un adolescente real, con problemas típicos de la edad y que además se encuentre descubriéndose a si mismo y las cosas que le gustan, es bonito poder ver la historia de Jordana y Oliver como dos jóvenes que solo viven el día a día y disfrutan de sus rarezas sin importar lo que pueda pasar. También el soundtrack se conecta con la increíble voz de Alex Turner mientras transcurren escenas de Oliver con Jordana y eso hace que todo sea más especial y pienso que esas escenas junto a la música fueron de las cosas que más me gustaron de la película.
I really liked that they gave the image of a real teenager, with typical problems of the age and also he is discovering himself and the things he likes, it's nice to see the story of Jordana and Oliver as two young people who just live day by day and enjoy their quirks no matter what may happen. Also the soundtrack connects with the amazing voice of Alex Turner while scenes of Oliver with Jordana are happening and that makes everything more special and I think those scenes along with the music were some of the things I liked the most about the movie.

Disfrute de la historia y de las escenas que fueron grabadas cómo con una cámara digital, le dió ese toque antiguo y también se sintió la historia mucho más personal, pero no es de mis películas favoritas, probablemente si la hubiera visto más joven me hubiera gustado más, pero más allá de eso puedo decir que es una historia que muestra todos los matices de ser adolescente y los cambios que se viven con la edad, además de la crisis de los padres de Oliver quien teme por el rompimiento de su hogar, es algo que veo cómo muy importante sobre todo a esa edad y puedo entender algunas de las reacciones de Oliver aunque en ciertas escenas sentí que estaba siendo demasiado exagerado pero supongo que es parte de la misma inmadurez que conlleva la edad. Si tienen la oportunidad y les gustan las historias de adolescentes o que incluyan una buena playlist tal vez está película les pueda gustar. ❤️
I enjoyed the story and the scenes that were filmed like with a digital camera, it gave it that vintage touch and also the story felt much more personal, but it's not one of my favorite movies, probably if I had seen it younger I would have liked it more, but beyond that I can say it's a story that shows all the nuances of being a teenager and the changes that come with age, besides the crisis of Oliver's parents who fears the breakup of their home, is something that I see as very important especially at that age and I can understand some of Oliver's reactions although in certain scenes I felt he was being too exaggerated but I guess it's part of the same immaturity that comes with age. If you have the opportunity and you like teenage stories or include a good playlist maybe you might like this movie. ❤️

When I first noticed Fire Force popping up—streaming on Crunchyroll during the Spring 2025 anime season—it piqued my interest as one of the final great series of that lineup. I’d heard whispers that it carried forward some of the energy of Soul Eater, which instantly lit a spark of curiosity.
With the world in the grip of spontaneous human combustion, Shinra Kusakabe is a member of Special Fire Force Company 8 that fights against a horrifying enemy: the Infernals, who are humans who have been burned by spontaneous human combustion and transformed into monsters. Yet there is more than just flame-fighting going on: there are religious cults, haunting power, and reflections of the past trauma of Shinra himself.

The animation was burning with more intensity than I thought. David Production, which produces JoJo Bizarre Adventure, provides fire effects, which are alive, crackling, swirling, breathing. When Shinra brings down the flames, a blaze, or firemen fight with the religious fanatics White-Clad cult, it is simply kinetic cinema.
That is why Episode 6 of Season 3 in which Shinra fights against Captain Burns went viral. The fight was dubbed by fans as one of the best in anime in 2025 due to its perfect choreography and flashbacks that touch the heartstrings.
Not all the scenes set fire, though. The flow has stalled: Season 3, Part 1 is sharp in the beginning and dull in the end. Critics observe lessons about world lore, also find that not all emotional stakes connected But Why Tho? Setting is important: following chapters of explosions are chapters of slower arcs that are like long waits between action bursts.
The arc of Shinra is not light: a hero with a guilty conscience and with hope. Critics even recognize his strata of sorrow and self-questioning.


Supporting characters, such as Maki Oze and Arthur Boyle, arouse admiration of fans, although not all of them appreciate whether their characters are deep enough. Maki is not unpopular, yet certain fans feel marginalized. The bravado of Arthur is convincing, even arrogant.
It also has fan-service that is repeated, including with Tamaki Kotatsu, with the Reddit debates about it being either funny or despised because of its timing and tone. It occasionally breaks the tone--serious interspersed with suggestive humour.
I watched several episodes late at night with headphones—and I could feel that crackle when fire ignites on screen. The sound design is repeatedly praised: every casualty, roar, and whoosh feels visceral . Kenichiro Suehiro’s soundtrack flips between soaring heroism and smoldering tension—quite literally underscoring every emotional and action-packed moment.
In addition to hot fights, Fire Force gives a look at the identity under the veil of fire. The fight of Shinra is not only a fight between the outside and inside, but also the fight of trauma and hope. There are characters struggling with faith, authority, and intentions.
Religion is a theme (Infernals and the White-Clad), and the fire is not just fire, but the image of rebirth, faith and temptation of the power

Fire Force is not perfect. Its rhythm slows down when the initial excitement wears off, and some storylines seem to be used in the wrong way. Sometimes fan service takes the focus away of what could otherwise be a gripping moment.
Nevertheless it has what it is offering: spectacular fire animation, action packed fight scenes and a world burnt with emotion. The tragedy-fueled-but-redemption-illuminated path of Shinra still remains the core of it
I could not sleep because I was binge-watching Episode 6 of this season since it appeared and seemed to be alive. It was the sound, the visuals, emotional beats--they fitted. However, the weight was felt when the slow burn came. But yet I am tempted to complete, to be tempted by that promise of flame.
Streaming Season 3 is just like being on a rollercoaster and the ride is just going up again, perhaps it is about to hit the top. Part 2 will be released in January 2026, so I am willing to bet the finale will deliver the payoff the first few episodes warrant.
You might like Fire Force, in case you like a hot action, emotional character development surrounded in flames, and you can excuse the clumsy pacing and fan-service tangents. Just make sure you watch it with volume on- and perhaps do not drink coffee when you watch; the adrenaline may not let you sleep.

Hola, hola, querida comunidad de Hive
¿Cómo están el día de hoy? Yo muy, muy bien, con muchas ganas de contarles que me recomendaron un nuevo anime, el cual me aseguraron que se convertiría en mi favorito por la calidad en diferentes aspectos que tiene este anime. Sin más, quiero comenzar a hablarles un poco de este anime y decirles mi sincera opinión del mismo.
How are you today? I am very, very well, with a lot of desire to tell you that I was recommended a new anime, which I was assured that it would become my favorite because of the quality in different aspects that this anime has. Without further ado, I want to start telling you a little bit about this anime and tell you my sincere opinion about it.

Lazarus: resumen
En 2052, la humanidad ha llegado a una época de paz y estabilidad sin igual, en gran medida debido a un medicamento milagroso conocido como Hapna, creado por el reconocido neurocientífico Dr. Skinner. Esta sustancia, que prometía rescatar a la humanidad de todo sufrimiento y dolor, se propagó a nivel global sin evidenciar efectos adversos. No obstante, la utopía se derrumba cuando el Dr. Skinner desaparece de manera enigmática solo para volver tres años más tarde con una noticia inquietante: Hapna representa un asalto mortal.
In 2052, mankind has reached an era of unparalleled peace and stability, largely due to a miracle drug known as Hapna, created by renowned neuroscientist Dr. Skinner. This substance, which promised to rescue mankind from all suffering and pain, spread globally with no evidence of adverse effects. However, the utopia collapses when Dr. Skinner enigmatically disappears only to return three years later with disturbing news: Hapna represents a deadly assault.

Skinner declara que todos aquellos que han ingerido Hapna fallecerán en un periodo de 30 días, a no ser que consigan localizarlo y conseguir la única vacuna que tiene. Frente a esta catastrófica catástrofe mundial, se establece el "Equipo Lazarus", una unidad especial formada por cinco agentes de élite seleccionados de diversas regiones del planeta. Su objetivo es evidente y desesperado: descubrir al misterioso Dr. Skinner antes de que el tiempo se consuma y la humanidad se vea confrontada a su desaparición.
Skinner declares that all those who have ingested Hapna will die within 30 days, unless they manage to locate him and get the only vaccine he has. Faced with this catastrophic global catastrophe, the "Lazarus Team" is established, a special unit made up of five elite agents selected from various regions of the planet. Their objective is obvious and desperate: to discover the mysterious Dr. Skinner before time runs out and humanity is faced with its demise.

A medida que el Equipo Lazarus se embarca en esta peligrosa búsqueda, se enfrentan a desafíos complejos y descubren los oscuros motivos detrás de las acciones del Dr. Skinner. La serie explora no solo la carrera contra el reloj para salvar a la humanidad, sino también la verdadera naturaleza de Hapna y las profundas implicaciones éticas y filosóficas de una cura que se convierte en una condena. La pregunta central que impulsa la trama es si podrán no solo encontrar la vacuna, sino también comprender el verdadero propósito detrás de la devastadora creación del Dr. Skinner.
As Team Lazarus embarks on this dangerous quest, they face complex challenges and uncover the dark motives behind Dr. Skinner's actions. The series explores not only the race against the clock to save humanity, but also the true nature of Hapna and the profound ethical and philosophical implications of a cure that turns into a conviction. The central question driving the plot is whether they can not only find the vaccine, but also understand the true purpose behind Dr. Skinner's devastating creation.

Mi opinión
Actualmente acabo de ver a Lazarus y, honestamente, aún estoy procesando lo que acabo de ver. No es un anime que te deje indiferente; te engancha desde el inicio con su premisa tan intrigante y te mantiene enganchado a la pantalla, aguardando qué sorpresa inesperada se presentará posteriormente. La noción de una cura milagrosa que se transforma en una condena mundial es una maravilla por sí sola; te lleva a reflexionar sobre las consecuencias de la ciencia cuando se desvía de su control.
Currently I just watched Lazarus and, honestly, I'm still processing what I just saw. It's not an anime that leaves you indifferent; it hooks you from the start with its intriguing premise and keeps you hooked to the screen, awaiting what unexpected surprise will present itself later on. The notion of a miracle cure that turns into a worldwide doom is a marvel on its own; it makes you reflect on the consequences of science when it strays from its control.

Lo que más me conmovió fue el modo en que Lazarus manipula la ética. El Dr. Skinner no es el típico antagonista; sus motivaciones son intrincadas y, de cierta forma, incluso podrías comprender su extravagante razonamiento. La serie te impulsa a interrogarte acerca de qué es verdaderamente un bien superior y hasta qué punto se puede llegar para lograr una presunta utopía. Además, observar al Equipo Lazarus, un conjunto de personajes tan variados y con sus propios demonios, batallando contra el tiempo y sus propias creencias, aporta un nivel de profundidad emocional que verdaderamente valoro.
What touched me most was the way Lazarus manipulates ethics. Dr. Skinner is not your typical antagonist; his motivations are intricate and, in a way, you could even understand his outlandish reasoning. The series pushes you to question what a higher good truly is and how far one can go to achieve a presumed utopia. In addition, watching Team Lazarus, such a diverse set of characters with their own demons, battling against time and their own beliefs, brings a level of emotional depth that I truly appreciate.

Y al mencionar los personajes, pienso que es en este aspecto donde Lazarus realmente destaca. No son únicamente figuras en un tablero; son individuos con relatos, temores y aspiraciones. La interacción, el desacuerdo y, al final, la unión por un objetivo compartido son lo que otorga vida a la serie. Cada persona ofrece una visión singular a la misión, lo que convierte las dinámicas grupales en sumamente fascinantes. Te apego a ellos, padeces con ellos y, por supuesto, te inquietas por su futuro.
And in mentioning the characters, I think this is where Lazarus really excels. They are not just figures on a board; they are individuals with stories, fears and aspirations. Interaction, disagreement and, in the end, coming together for a shared goal are what bring the series to life. Each person offers a unique vision to the mission, which makes the group dynamics extremely fascinating. You grow attached to them, suffer with them and, of course, worry about their future.

Sin embargo, no todo es un drama existencial; la acción en Lazarus está magníficamente coreografiada. Las secuencias de lucha son dinámicas, impresionantes y poseen un impacto real, lo que las vuelve aún más emocionantes. La animación en general es impresionante, el diseño de los entornos y la atmósfera distópica que consiguen construir es realmente envolvente. Te sumerge totalmente en ese futuro próximo donde la existencia está en juego.
However, it's not all existential drama; the action in Lazarus is superbly choreographed. The fight sequences are dynamic, impressive and have a real impact, which makes them even more exciting. The animation in general is impressive, the design of the environments and the dystopian atmosphere they manage to build is truly immersive. It totally immerses you in that near future where existence is at stake.

En conclusión, Lazarus es un tesoro que, ciertamente, aconsejaría. Si disfrutas de relatos que invitan a la reflexión, con personajes bien desarrollados, una trama repleta de intriga y una buena dosis de acción, este anime es ideal para ti. No se trata solo de diversión; es una vivencia que te hace pensar mucho tiempo después de que concluyen los créditos. Realmente, te hará reflexionar sobre si el costo de la paz puede ser excesivo.
In conclusion, Lazarus is a treasure that I would certainly recommend. If you enjoy thought-provoking stories with well-developed characters, a plot full of intrigue and a good dose of action, this anime is ideal for you. It's not just fun; it's a thought-provoking experience long after the credits roll. It will really make you think about whether the cost of peace can be too much.

¡Gracias por leer!

Thank you very, very much for stopping by and making it this far! The truth is that I liked this series, although I don't consider it to be the best I've seen; I don't have any complaints either.

Hello Anime Lovers 👋🏻
Today I will share with you a review of a slice of life anime called Frieren Beyond Journey's End. I finished this anime a long time ago but didn't have time to review it so I'll share it today.

Anime Details
| Name | Frieren Beyond Journey's End |
| Episodes | 28 |
| Status | Not Completed |
| Genres | Adventure, Drama, Fantasy |
| Theme | None |
| Demographic | Shounen |
| Studio | Madhouse |
| Source | Manga |
| MAL Ratings | 9.3/10 |
| IMDB Ratings | 8.9/10 |
| Personal Ratings | 8.7/10 |

During their decade-long quest to defeat the Demon King, the hero party—consisting of Himmel the hero, the priest Heiter, the dwarf warrior Eisen, and the elven mage Frieren—forms bonds through adventures and battles, creating unforgettable, precious memories. However, for Frieren, whose lifespan exceeds a thousand years, the time spent with her comrades is just a fraction of her life.
After their victory, when the party disbands, Frieren returns to her "usual" routine of collecting spells across the continent. Due to her different perception of time, she feels no strong attachment to these experiences. As years pass, Frieren gradually realizes how deeply her time with the Hero's Party affected her. After witnessing the deaths of two of her former companions, she begins to regret taking their presence lightly. She vows to understand humans better and forge genuine personal connections. Though the story of that memorable journey has long ended, a new story is about to begin.

Incredible. Honestly, there’s not much more to say. The animation is exceptionally fluid—rarely seen at this level. The art style is also excellent. The fight scenes perfectly complement the animation and art style. The visual effects are crisp, and the choreography is highly entertaining.
The opening song is decent, but the ending song is fantastic. Visually, both the opening and ending sequences are great. The soundtrack fits well with the fight scenes and other important moments but isn’t extraordinary or particularly memorable.
As an adventure anime, the pacing is a bit slow. This is typical for this type of anime, so you’ll need to adjust to it.

The characters are one of the anime’s strongest points. Every character is likable. As the series progresses, we see their development and softer sides. Each character gets individual attention, and their distinct personalities contribute to the story in small or significant ways. In short, every character is well-developed and engaging.
Watch the 28 episodes that have been released. There’s nothing else, no extras.

In my view, Frieren is a breath of fresh air because it’s rare to see originality or uniqueness in new anime these days. Frieren delivers that, presenting common themes in its own distinct way.
At first glance, this anime might seem like a typical one, similar to many others, but its depth is entirely different. It offers a unique perspective on various themes and raises challenging questions, such as: What is the purpose of our existence? This isn’t just an adventure to defeat a boss, demon, god, or something else; it goes much deeper.
This anime isn’t for everyone due to its slow pacing and philosophical nature, which may not appeal to those who prefer fast-paced action/thriller genres. Still, I’d recommend giving it a try, as it teaches important lessons and can shift your perspective. If you have the time, give this anime a shot.

The series I'm going to talk about today is very special to me, which makes it important. Elfen Lied wasn't just another anime or an adventure story that marked my life because of how beautiful it was, but quite the opposite. This series was one of the first of its kind to show a harsh reality to those who watch it, regardless of their age. In my case, I saw it when I was around 13-14 years old. I remember that the series itself was so peculiar that it could only be seen on DVD. You could say that it touches on topics that were taboo for society at the time, such as violent discrimination, gore, very explicit violence, situations of social alienation, identity, and many prejudices. Basically, everything that a child like me at that age should not be seeing.
Esta serie de la que les vengo a hablar hoy, resulta muy especial para mí, lo que la hace importante. Elfen Lied no fue nada más un animé más ni una historia de aventuras que marcó mi vida por lo bonita que fue, sino por todo lo contrario. Esta serie fue una de las primeras en su género en salir que muestra una cruda realidad para quien la ve, sin importar la edad que tengas. En mi caso la vi alredor de los 13-14 años. La serie en sí recuerdo que era tan peculiar que sólo podía verse en DVD. Se podría decir que toca temas que en aquel entonces resultaban un Tabú para la sociedad, como la discriminación violenta, el Gore, una violencia muy explícita, situaciones de alineación social, identidad y muchos prejuicios. Básicamente todo lo que un niño como yo a esa edad no debería estar viendo.



Even so, I watched it, and I liked it. I was captivated by the plot and all the issues it tackled in a raw and realistic way. The series didn't make me a bad person; it just taught me about the reality of the world at an early age. Just like many other anime series in this genre. The characters were very well developed, the story was also very well done, and although many criticize the manga and anime, for me, at that time I never read it, I never knew how it ended, I was left with the idea of how everything happened in the anime and the truth is that it left me satisfied.
Aún así la vi, aún así me gustó mucho y me cautivó por su trama y por todos los temas que tocaron de manera cruda y real. La serie no me hizo mala persona, sólo me sirvió para enseñarme la realidad del mundo a temprana edad. Así como muchos otros animés de este género. Sus personajes tuvieron muy buen desarrollo, la historia también fue muy bien llevada y aunque muchos critican el manga y el animé, para mi, en ese entonces nunca lo leí, nunca supe cómo terminó, me quedé con la idea de cómo sucedió todo en el animé y la verdad es que me dejó satisfecho.



I think that seeing a certain level of violence and discrimination in cartoons, even when I was very young, was normal for me, although it sounds strange to say so today. The way we were raised was very similar to what was shown here. Many children were mean to others, insulting them, hitting them, throwing things, breaking things, and everything was resolved with a scolding from the teacher and apologies between those involved. At least that's how it was with me many times, and everything went on as if nothing had happened. But in the case of these protagonists, especially Lucy, a Diclonius more powerful than the others, she did experience pure violence, and I understand why she came to hate and reject humans.
Pienso que ver cierto nivel de violencia y discriminación en dibujos animados, incluso que se experimentara de muy chico, fue algo normal para mí, aunque suene extraño hoy en día decirlo así. Y es que a forma en la que fuimos criados, fue muy parecido a lo que mostraron aquí. Muchos niños eran malos con otros, insultaban, golpeaban, lanzaban cosas, rompían cosas y todo se arreglaba con un regaño por parte del profesor y pidiéndose disculpas entre los involucrados. Al menos así hicieron conmigo muchas veces, y todo seguía su cursor como si nada. Pero en el caso de estas protagonistas, sobre todo de Lucy, una Diclonius más poderosa que las demás, ella si vivió violencia pura y entiendo por qué llegó a odiar y repudiar a los humanos.



I also liked the contrast between the personalities that inhabited Lucy. One of them turned out to be a lethal killing machine who would mercilessly attack anyone who approached her, while her counterpart showed a tender, innocent, docile, and childlike side. Seeing this in an anime portrayed in such a simple way, that dissociation of personalities and such disparate extremes, made me realize how complex the human psyche can be. In other words, this series sparked my curiosity to want to know more about the world at an early age, without fear of what others might say, without fear of delving into topics that were considered taboo, not only for children but also for adults. As I said, those were different times, and yet I enjoyed those years very much.
También me agradó el contraste entre las personalidades que habitaban en Lucy. Una de ellas resultaba ser una máquina asesina totalmente letal a quien se le acercara sin piedad alguna mientras que su contraparte mostraba un lado totalmente tierno, inocente, dócil e infantil. Ver esto en un animé mostrado de manera tan sencilla, esa disociación de personalidades, y extremos tan disparejos, me hizo comprender lo compleja que puede llegar a ser la psiquis humana. Es decir, esta serie despertó mi curiosidad por querer saber más sobre el mundo a temprana edad sin miedo al qué dirán, sin miedo a indagar por los temas que resultaban ser catalogados como prohibidos, no nada más para los niños sino también para los adultos. Como dije, eran otros tiempos y aún así disfruté mucho de aquellos años.

It's been a while since I've seen a comedy movie that grabbed me from the first minute and that happened with One of Them Days I think this movie directed by Lawrence Lamont and written by Serita Singleton is guaranteed fun, I liked that it's kind of a tribute to those friendships that survive any disaster, even if one of the two is constantly screwing things up for both of them. Keke Palmer and SZA are Dreux and Alyssa, two friends who live in the most fucked up area of LA, where the manager is up to his eyeballs in waiting for rent and threatens them with eviction if they don't pay him by six in the evening. So what should be a normal day turns into an epic odyssey when they discover that Alyssa's no-good boyfriend stole the rent money to spend it on T-shirts and other bullshit, the worst part is that these two friends have nine hours to come up with fifteen hundred dollars or end up on the street.

Tenía tiempo que no veía una película de comedia que me atrapara desde el primer minuto y eso pasó con One of Them Days yo creo que esta peli dirigida por Lawrence Lamont y escrita por Serita Singleton es diversión garantizada, me gustó que es una especie de homenaje a esas amistades que sobreviven a cualquier desastre, por más que una de las dos esté constantemente cagando las cosas para ambas. Keke Palmer y SZA son Dreux y Alyssa, dos amigas que viven en la zona más jodida de LA, donde el administrador está hasta la coronilla de esperar la renta y las amenaza con sacarlas si no le pagan antes de las seis de la tarde. Así que lo que debería ser un día normal se convierte en una odisea épica cuando descubren que el novio inútil de Alyssa se robó el dinero de la renta para gastárselo en camisetas de y otras pendejadas, lo peor es que estas dos amigas tienen nueve horas para conseguir mil quinientos dólares o terminar en la calle.
The movie is pure chaos from minute one, with such absurd situations that make you laugh even when you know that in real life you would be crying, but that's what makes it so entertaining. And I think it works so well because the leads are naturally funny together, SZA as Alyssa shows that she's a natural at acting I think this is her first starring role, she's that friend who's always on cloud nine but somehow manages to make you love her despite all the problems she brings you. Keke Palmer is Dreux and she is the more responsible of the two, she works and is trying to get a promotion while dealing with the messes her best friend makes. Alyssa's boyfriend is played by Joshua David Neil and of course he is the typical bum who lives off of others and manipulates women with his physique. Also appearing is Aiza Scott as Bernice has a don't fuck with me attitude that makes you laugh every time she appears, Cat Williams is Lucky, a sort of neighborhood guardian angel who tries to help the girls.

La película es puro caos desde el minuto uno, con situaciones tan absurdas que te hacen reír hasta cuando sabes que en la vida real estarías llorando, pero eso es lo que la hace tan entretenida. Y yo creo qwue funciona tan bien porque las protagonistas son naturalmente divertidas juntas, SZA como Alyssa demuestra que tiene talento natural para la actuación creo que este es su primer papel como protagonista, es esa amiga que siempre está en las nubes pero que de alguna manera logra que la quieras a pesar de todos los problemas que te trae. Keke Palmer es Dreux y es la más responsable de las dos, trabaja y está tratando de conseguir un ascenso mientras lidia con los desastres que arma su mejor amiga. El novio de Alyssa si esa es otra de las locuras jejeje es interpretado por Joshua David Neil y por supuesto que es el típico vago que vive de los otros y se la pasa manipulando a las mujeres con su físico. También aparece Aiza Scott como Bernice tiene una actitud de no me jodas que te hace reír cada vez que aparece, Cat Williams es Lucky, una especie de ángel guardián del barrio que trata de ayudar a las chicas.
I really liked this female friendship theme, it seems like these two are lifelong friends and have been through everything together, more stories like this that are true are needed. You never doubt why Dreux is still friends with Alyssa despite all the problems she causes her, because SZA manages to make her character so charismatic that you understand perfectly why someone would love her with all her mistakes. The situations the main characters go through are absurd, from donating blood in a place where the nurse has no idea what she's doing to stealing shoes and power cables and being chased by a local gangster. I liked that the movie is quite colorful and that the Angels are like another character in the story, especially in the scenes where they have to run through the streets of the neighborhood running away from Bernice who is chasing them.

Me gustó mucho este tema de amistad entre mujeres, parece que estas dos son amigas de toda la vida y que han pasado por todo juntas, hace falta más historias así que sean verdaderas. Nunca dudas de por qué Dreux sigue siendo amiga de Alyssa a pesar de todos los problemas que le causa, porque SZA logra hacer que su personaje sea tan carismático que entiendes perfectamente por qué alguien la amaría con todos sus errores. Las situaciones por las que pasan las protagonistas son absurdas, desde donar sangre en un lugar donde la enfermera no tiene idea de lo que está haciendo hasta robar zapatos y cables de electricidad y ser perseguidas por un gánster local. Me gustó que la peli es bastante colorida y que los Ángeles es como un personaje más de la historia, especialmente en las escenas donde tienen que salir corriendo por las calles del barrio huyendo de Bernice que las persigue.
What I didn't like is that late in the movie King Lolo enters as the main bad guy who wants to kill them for the stolen shoes, it seemed to me that it was like they didn't know how to end the story and decided to add some danger that doesn't completely fit with the tone of the rest of the movie. However they manage to get out of the mess they got themselves into, they organize an impromptu art sale where they live to raise the money they need and yes this seemed a bit forced but it worked because you see the growth of the characters and the importance of community. During the movie these friends Dreux and Alyssa have a big fight and both say hurtful things that they have been holding back is pretty real and honest because even though you have a friendship and love each other sometimes you have to say what you don't agree with.

Lo que no me gustó es que ya avanzada la peli entra King Lolo como el malo principal que quiere matarlas por los zapatos robados, me pareció que era como que si no sabían muy bien cómo terminar la historia y decidieron agregar algo de peligro que no encaja completamente con el tono del resto de la película. Sin embargo llegan a salir de todo el lío en que se metieron, organizan una venta de arte improvisada en donde viven para recaudar el dinero que necesitan y si esto me pareció un poco forzado pero funcionó porque se ve el crecimiento de los personajes y la importancia de la comunidad. Durante la película estas amigas Dreux y Alyssa tienen una pelea grande y ambas dicen cosas hirientes que han estado guardando es bastante real y honesto porque aunque uno tenga una amistad y se quiera a veces tiene que decir con lo que no está de acuerdo.
I liked One of Them Days, it entertained me for the hour and a half it lasts and I would even watch it again in a few months when I want to see something light and funny. My rating is 7/10 because of how funny and fresh it is, the story feels real and the performances are good, Keke Palmer has a lot of charisma and SZA you can tell she has a future. This movie reminded me of my girlfriends, some of us may be disastrous but we are always together for support, I would definitely watch it on a girls night out, although it has its moments that aren't great especially when they mess up but it has enough heart and humor to keep you entertained from start to finish. If you're looking for something to watch on a weekend when you don't want to think too much but you do want to laugh for a while, this movie is an excellent choice that won't disappoint, plus it will make you appreciate a little more those crazy friendships we all have in our lives.

Me gustó One of Them Days, me divirtió durante la hora y media que dura y hasta volvería a verla en unos meses cuando quiera ver algo ligero y divertido. Mi puntuación es 7/10 por lo divertida y fresca que es, la historia se siente real y las actuaciones son buenas, Keke Palmer tiene mucho carisma y a SZA se le nota que tiene futuro. Esta película me recordó a mis amigas, algunas podemos ser desastrosas pero siempre estamos juntas para apoyarnos, definitivamente la vería en una noche de chicas, aunque tiene sus momentos que no son muy buenos sobretodo cuando meten pero tiene suficiente corazón y humor para mantenerte entretenido de principio a fin. Si buscas algo para ver un fin de semana cuando no quieres pensar demasiado pero sí quieres reírte un rato, esta película es una excelente opción que no te va a decepcionar, además de que te va a hacer apreciar un poco más a esas amistades locas que todos tenemos en nuestras vidas.

Hello everyone welcome to my blog once again, it feels absolutely refreshing to be here. For today I'll taking y'all on a ride and the destination ....... My favourite movie fight scene. I have always been a fan of anything that has to do with the superhero world regardless of where it came. As long as it has the theme of individuals with unique abilities they can use to defeat evil, then count me in. The DC universe is where most of my allegiance lies but they only excel in comics and animations while the bitter rivals Marvel takes the crown in live-actions. For nearly almost two decades, the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) has released a total number of 45 projects live-action series and films excluding animations. A lot of the those projects were record breaking and blessed with so much emotions that till this very day, they still hold a special place in my heart.

Out of every rescue mission, smart plan, scientific experiment gone rough, invasion scheme, clash between characters and beautiful storytelling. The one scene from the entire franchise that still had me on the edge even till today has to be *The fight scene at the airport in Captain America: Civil War.

This movie alone was suffering from an incredible plot as this time the avengers were not just battling villains were having a full on confrontation amongst themselves. It introduced characters like Black Panther and Spider-man into the MCU for the very first and boy did they make quite the entrance.

The reason for this internal war revolved around an argument within the team where on the stance on whether they should be controlled by the government or not which ended splitting the team into two groups Team iron man in support of being government lackeys and team Captain America. Believing that Bucky Barnes is responsible for the death of the king of Wakanda, team iron man heads out to arrest the Winter soldier who is being protected by team Captain America certain of his innocence.

Team Iron man surrounds Captain America and his gang in an airport as they are about to leave the country and both sides gets into full on battle mode. It does just start with a punch, nope it begins with Black panther leaps towards Steve Rogers attacking him with three leg kicks in the air while Captain America blocks it with his shield. I kid you not, that move alone had me in my feelings for months, I watched it over and over to feast my eyes and that incredible move. I never in a million years that I could see something so unbelievable but yet seem so real.

The other members of the avengers (currently split in two) also brought their A game. Vision proved that he was truly the master of intangibility as no attacks could touch him, Antman became a giant and distracted the rest of team iron man while Captain America and Bucky escaped while everyone else fought it out displaying their individual strength.

Besides the agility and overwhelming presence of Black panther, the true mvp of this entire fight was spiderman, bro was a literal menace as nobody could keep him contained. He was strong enough to stop Bucky's reinforced arm with very little effort, married falcon to the floor, known down ant man all while he was still taking and making jokes with everybody. The only person that was able to beat him was Captain America which was largely because he outsmarted him and Spidey was still a novice.

The battle ended with Bucky and Steve Rogers escaping on a jet with war machine being severely wounded after he was accidentally blasted from the sky by iron man. The movie is a really great watch and if you haven't seen it, I advice you do. Thanks for stopping by Stay flexy.

For lovers of naval battles and piracy, the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise starring Johnny Depp is an irresistible offering, so today we'll talk about its first installment, titled The Curse of the Black Pearl, and what elements made it my favorite of the four parts.
Para los amantes de las batallas navales y la piratería la franquicia de Piratas del caribe protagonizada por Jhonny Deep es una oferta irresistible por eso hoy hablaremos de su primera entrega titulada La maldición del Perla Negra y que elementos la hicieron hacer entre las cuatro partes mi favorita.
They say that when you watch a movie for the second or even third time, you always find something that motivates you to see it again. And in the case of this film, which is a few years old and which many of us still find fun, interesting, and exciting, therkie are elements like the setting and the cast that make us addicted to rewatching it.
Dicen que cuando vez una película por segunda o quizás tercera vez siempre encuentras algo que te motiva a volverla a ver. Y en el caso de esta película que ya tiene algunos añitos y que aún muchos la encontramos divertida, interesante y emocionante en cada escenografía y toma durante el rodaje existen elementos como la ambientación y el reparto actoral qule nos hacen adictos a su redisfrute.

One of the things that made me recognize this first part as my favorite was Johnny's prominence in a complex character, one that has received both positive and negative reviews. In addition, the addition of Bloom's appearance in an adventure film for young audiences also made it attractive and filled with anticipation for new projects like even Lord of the Rings.
Una de las cosas que hicieron para mi reconocer esta primera parte como la favorita fue el destaque de Jhonny ante un personaje complejo y lleno de críticas tanto positivas como negativas. Además de ello el complemento de la aparición de Bloom en una película de aventuras para el público joven la hizo también atractiva y llena de espectativas ante nuevos proyectos como incluso el Señor de los Anillos.
Johnny proved once again that for him, no character is too difficult, nor is a film impossible.
I also really enjoyed the battles between the Black Pearl and the Spanish Navy ships, which, in my opinion, were dwarfed by a relic of piracy and organized smuggling.
Jhonny demostró una vez más que para el no existe personaje difícil ni película imposible. También me gustaron mucho las batallas entre el Perla Negra y los barcos de la armada española quienes para mi juicio se quedaron pequeños ante una reliquia de la Piratería y el contrabando organizado.
Although for many the film may seem old and full of clichés, at least I still have fun with the antics of Jack Sparrow and his tireless fighting friends like Gibs.
Aunque para muchos la película puede parecer antigua y llena de clichés aun al menos yo me sigo divirtiendo con las travesuras de Jack Sparrow y sus amigos de luchas incansables como por ejemplo Gibs.
In short, I loved the movie, and every chance I get, I enjoy it with great enthusiasm, and it helps me have a good time.
So, friends, if you haven't seen today's installment yet and want to watch it again, don't miss the opportunity to spend an afternoon full of adventures.
En resumen a mi me encantó la película y cada vez que tengo una oportunidad la disfruto con mucho entusiasmo y me ayuda a pasar un buen rato. Entonces amigos si aún no han visto la entrega de hoy y quieren volverla a ver no pierdan la oportunidad de pasar una tarde llena de aventuras.
