(Mini Series) VisionQuest - The Interesting Story of Vision Dealing with the Aftermath of His Past Experience in Search of Humanity

After the first two episodes were released on October 13, I decided to start watching this mini series three days ago as I thought the finale would be released on Tuesday. Turned out the final episode was only available in Indonesia yesterday so it took me 3 days to finish the whole series. Anyway let us just get right on it.

Brief Story Line

After the events of WandaVision, Vision (Paul Bettany - A Knight's Tale, Margin Call etc) was now working at a pub in Edinburgh where he also lived there. He wanted to regain his humanity and was constantly in communication with the various AIs created by Tony Stark in his mindspace. To make it easier for him, Vision requested all those AIs to use human avatar, including JARVIS (James D'Arcy - Oppenheimer, Broadchurch TV series etc), FRIDAY (Orla Brady - The Foreigner, Into the Badlands TV series etc), EDITH (Emily Hampshire - Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice, Schitt's Creek TV series etc) and even Ultron (James Spader - The Blacklist TV series, Mannequin etc).

(2025) Protector - An OK Action Thriller Supported by Well Choreographed Action Sequence though Rather Poorly Done in Other Areas

Yesterday I wanted to watch a movie while waiting for another series to have its finale today. I came across this one in HBO Max which I was not familiar with but seemed to have interesting premise. So I decided to just give it a try. 

Brief Story Line

Nikki Halsted (Milla Jovovich - Monster Hunter, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter etc) was a former US special forces soldier who had been in many tours and returned back to be close to her now teenaged daughter Chloe (Isabel Myers - Mixed-ish TV series etc). However it was not an easy relationship as she had been away for too long. On the night of her birthday, Chloe and her friends decided to go to a bar where she met with a young man named Ben (Shane Williams). Unfortunately Ben was part of a human traffic organization referred to as the Syndicate and Chloe became their latest victim.

Sakamoto Days - The Live Action Adaptation of Popular Manga Series

I am not sure why I missed out on this movie when it was first released in Prime Video on 29 October. I only realized while I was on holiday trip and searching for simple things to watch in the hotel. But since I knew it was an action film, I waited till I was back home. As I was finishing other things first, I only watched it last night. OK then, here's more on the movie.

Brief Story Line

Taro Sakamoto (Ren Meguro - As Long As We Both Shall Live, Trillion Game TV series etc) was a professional hitman and regarded as the best. But when he met and fell in love with a convenience store clerk named Aoi (Aya Ueto - The Silent Service TV series, Azumi etc), Sakamoto wanted to marry her. After convincing Aoi that he would never kill again, they finally got married and had a young daughter named Hana (Yoshimoto Miyu). As a retired hitman, Sakamoto now just watched over the convenience store with another clerk named Lu Xiaotang (Mayuu Yokota - Drawing Closer, Reborn TV series etc) but due to his current lifestyle, he had become overweight.
