(2026) Michael - A Biography of the King of Pop Focusing More on His Inspiring Side and Great Achievements

I have been eyeing to see this movie ever since it was made known in social media. Last week it had its advance ticket sale for Wednesday but not in my favorite studio. Unfortunately it only had one show during the following two days and by Friday it was no longer available there and was playing in few theaters. So my wife and I ended up having to see this yesterday in one of those limite options. Without further ado, here's more on the film.

Brief Story Line

Story focused on the life of Michael Jackson from his childhood years (portrayed by Juliano Krue Valdi) to his adulthood (portrayed by Jaafar Jackson). Michael was the youngest of a band with his older brothers named Jackson 5, formed, trained and managed by their father Joseph Jackson (Colman Domingo - The Running Man 2025 remake, Candyman 2021 version etc) who was very hard on them. Meanwhile their mother Katherine (Nia Long - Missing, Big Momma's House etc) was not really approving but she did not have courage to go against Joseph.

(2026) APEX - A Different Kind of Survival Thriller Movie

Yesterday this movie was released in Netflix as part of their Friday new movies line up. It was something that I was interested in after seeing the cast and the simple premise. When it was made available in the afternoon, I immediately gave it a try. OK let's just get to it then.

Brief Story Line

Five months after finishing rock climbing in the high Troll Wall of Norway with her husband Tommy (Eric Bana - Untamed mini series, King Arthur: Legend of The Sword etc), Sasha (Charlize Theron - The Old Guard 2The Addams Family 2019 animated movie etc) went to Australia for another experience in the wild Wandarra National Park.

While looking for a specific location, Sasha asked direction from someone she just met named Ben (Taron Egerton - She Rides ShotgunSmoke mini series etc). Unfortunately for Sasha, she became the object of a hunting "game" initiated by Ben where she had to escape in the wilderness.

Ready or Not 2: Here I Come - A Worthwhile Sequel to the Amazing 2019 Horror Comedy

Finally this movie was made available in Indonesia after premiering in the US roughly one month ago. It was released on Wednesday but due to my busy schedule, my wife and I only got the chance to see it yesterday. We saw it in the nearest cinema from our home. Without further ado, here's more on the film.

Brief Story Line

Immediately after the events in the first movie, Grace (Samara Weaving - Eenie MeanieGuns Akimbo etc) was hospitalized and got a visit from her estranged younger sister Faith (Kathryn Newton - Ant-man and the Wasp: QuantumaniaDetective Pikachu etc). Unfortunately, Grace must rejoin the game as explained by the Lawyer (Elijah Wood - The Toxic Avenger, Sin City etc) where she had to avoid being killed before dawn once again. Despite her flat rejection, Grace had no choice but to play as Faith was being used as collateral.
