(2026) 96 Minutes - Rather Bland for a Supposedly Intense Action Thriller Movie

I saw this film promoted in the Coming Soon of Netflix and was interested after reading the brief synopsis. But somehow I missed when it was released on Thursday, so I only watched it yesterday. All right then, let's just get on with it now.

Brief Story Line

Song Kang Ren (Austin Lin - The Knight of Shadows: Between Yin and Yang, Women in Taipei TV series etc), a former bomb disposal expert was returning home with his fiancée Huang Xin (Vivian Sung - Till We Meet Again, Adrift in Love TV series etc) and his mother (Lu Hsueh-Feng) using a high speed train. His journey was interrupted when he was informed by his former superior Li Jie (Lee Lee-Zen - The Black Box, The Kidnappers TV series etc) that there was a bomb threat on the train which would detonate in 96 minutes from the time it departed the station. Though Li Jie suspected it might be just prank call, he still requested A-ren's help due to something on the message. To avoid panic, they decided not to tell anyone except the train employees.

(Mini Series) Wonder Man - Character Driven Drama Series About a Person with Super Power in the Marvel Cinematic Universe

Two days ago, this latest super hero series set in Marvel Cinematic Universe was released on Disney+. To my surprise, all episodes were made available on the same day instead of the weekly one episode release. So I immediately started to watch on that day and finished it last night. Without further ado, here's more on the series.

Brief Story Line

Simon Williams (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II - Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, The Matrix Resurrections etc) had been struggling to become successful actor for years with the help from his agent Janelle (X Mayo - Freakier Friday, American Auto TV series etc). When he found out from actor Trevor Slattery (Ben Kingsley - The Thursday Murder Club, Locked Down etc) who used to be the terrorist Mandarin, that famous director Von Kovak (Zlatko Buric - Superman 2025, Triangle of Sadness etc) was doing a remake of the super hero movie Wonder Man, Simon was really interested in the role. So he tried his best to get into the audition without his agent's knowledge. 

(2026) The Wrecking Crew - An Entertaining Buddy Cop Action Comedy Movie

I noticed this movie promoted by Prime Video few days ago and was immediately excited when I saw the two lead stars and the action comedy genre. So when the film was finally released yesterday and as soon as I was available, I immediately watched it. All right then, let's just get on with it.

Brief Story Line

Navy SEAL Colonel James Hale (Dave Bautista - My Spy: The Eternal City, Stuber etc) had been living in Hawaii all his life with his wife Leila (Roimata Fox - Chief of War mini series etc) and their two young children. Meanwhile his half brother Jonny (Jason Momoa - A Minecraft Movie, Dune etc) had been working as police detective in Oklahoma and in relationship with Valentina (Morena Baccarin - Greenland 2: Migration, Deadpool & Wolverine etc). James and Jonny had not spoken with each other for many years, but everything changed when their father became victim of hit and run which both of them suspected foul play. Despite the warning from Detective Sergeant Karl Rennet (Stephen Root - Heads of State, Barry TV series etc) not to interfere, James and Jonny investigated the incident by themselves.
