(TV SERIES) The Eternaut Season 1 - Entertaining Sci-fi Argentinian Series Based on Highly Popular Comics

I have been wondering about this series for quite some time ever since I read many headline entertainment news praising it. After finishing up some series that I was eager to complete, finally I decided to give this a try on Sunday night. And since it only had 6 episodes, I was able to finish the whole season yesterday during holiday. So how was the series then? Let's find out more shall we?

Brief Story Line

On a hot summer night in Buenos Aires, Argentina, a group of middle-old best friends Juan Pablo (Ricardo Darin - The Secret in Their Eyes, Nine Queens etc), Alfredo "Tano" Favalli (César Troncoso - A Twelve-year Night, Brazilian Western etc), Lucas (Marcelo Subiotto - La Barbarie, Puan etc) and Ruso (Claudio Martinez Bel) were gathering at Tano's house to have their usual Truco game time. They were also accompanied by Ruso's brother in-law Omar (Ariel Staltari). However, the night turned into nightmare when a sudden snow fall shocked all of them including Tano's wife Ana (Andrea Pietra - Socias TV series, Son de Fierro telenovela etc) who first noticed the death of people exposed from the snow.

Holy Night: Demon Hunters - A Combination of Action and Occult Horror Movie

This movie caught our attention when it was promoted in various cinemas' social media due to its famous lead cast. After released on Wednesday, my wife and I decided to see the film yesterday which apparently was a bit of a challenge since there were only two studios of our favorite cinema chain that played it. Luckily one of them was near our home which made it convenient for us. All right then, I'll get straight with the movie.

Brief Story Line

Story focused on a trio of demon hunters consisted of the leader Baw (Ma Dong-seok - The Roundup: PunishmentBadland Hunters etc), the exorcist Sharon (Seohyun - Love and Leashes, Jinxed at First TV series etc) and the cameraman Kim Gun (Lee David - Svaha: The Sixth Finger, Squid Game season 2 etc) who roamed the city saving people from evil worshippers and demons. 

After completing their latest assignment, Baw was visited by neurophysicist Jung-won (Kyung Soo-jin - The Noisy Mansion, Mouse TV series etc) who sought his help to cure her younger sister Eun-so (Jung Ji-so - The Cursed: Dead Man's Prey, Curtain Call TV series etc) suffering from what seemed to be possession by evil spirit. Despite his reluctance and the clear danger, Baw finally decided to help Jung-won.

Another Simple Favor - Not a Better Sequel of that Wonderful 2018 Mystery Thriller Movie, but Still Pretty Enjoyable

I got notification from Prime Video about this movie that was just released on the Labor Day Holiday which I was interested in. So once I got the chance yesterday, I immediately watched this to see if it was as good as I hoped for. OK, let's just get to it then.

Brief Story Line

Story was set five years after the events of the first movie, where Stephanie Smothers (Anna Kendrick - Trolls World Tour, Woman of the Hour etc) had been a pretty succesful mystery vlogger and book writer of her experience with Emily Nelson (Blake Lively - The Rhythm Section, It Ends With Us etc). Unexpectedly Emily was able to get an appeal on her case and was released from prison. She even planned to get married with an Italian wealthy guy named Dante (Michele Morrone - 365 Days trilogy etc) in Capri island and insisted Stephanie to be her maid of honor.
