The Fantastic Four: First Steps - An Exciting Addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe


Once again another movie in Marvel Cinematic Universe was released and available in Indonesia since Wednesday.  As I wanted to see this in the studio with Dolby Atmos system, my wife and I waited for it to be available in our favorite cinema last night. Without further ado, here's more on the movie. 

Brief Story Line

Set in the 1960s, austronauts Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal - The Wild RobotThe Mandalorian TV series etc), his wife Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby - Mission: Impossible - The Dead Reckoning Part One, Napoleon etc) and younger brother Johnny (Joseph Quinn - Gladiator II, Warfare etc) with Ben Grimm (Ebon Moss-Bacrach - No Hard Feelings, The Bear TV series etc) became superheroes known as Fantastic Four after their return from an outer space mission. As they fought plenty of villains for several years such as Mole Man (Paul Walter Hauser - Inside Out 2Cruella etc) and few others, the four of them became quite well known through out the world.

Wall to Wall - A Simple Yet Intense Thriller Movie

When this movie was released last Friday, I was in the midst of watching another new series on Netflix. So I decided to watch only after I finished that series on Sunday night. My wife who had seen it before thought I would enjoy and should give it a try. All right then, I'll get right on it.

Brief Story Line

Few year ago, Noh Woo-sung (Kang Ha-neul - Streaming, Tastefully Yours TV series etc) a normal working man decided to sell everything that he owned and borrowed money from the bank to purchase a new apartment unit in Seoul. However, the real estate market plummeted and he ended up doing double job and save on food & utilities just to pay his monthly instalments. His condition worsened with loud noise inside his unit that constantly disturbed his sleep.

(Mini Series) Untamed - Interesting but Quite Heavy, Dark & Tragic Murder Mystery Drama Series

Last Thursday, this interesting new series was released on Netflix but I did not get the chance to watch it as I went to the cinema with my wife for a new movie. So I only began to watch on Friday and finished it last night. Without further ado, let's get on with the series.

Brief Story Line

When the body of unknown young woman was discovered in the Yosemite National Park in California, special agent Kyle Turner (Eric Bana - Back to the Outback, Troy etc) was called on to investigate. Park Rangers chief Paul Souter (Sam Neill - Jurassic World: Dominion, Dead Calm etc) assigned rookie Naya Vasquez (Lily Santiago - La Brea TV series etc) to partner with Kyle. Behind his cold personality and drinking problem, Kyle was actually a very good investigator and was able to find some clues that would lead to bigger issues.
