Trese (2021)

Filipino Anime Mythology Breakthru

[10/10 · 12 June 2021]

I am very impressed how this Anime was nicely done AND the authenticity of actual Filipino Mythology/Supernatural Spirits of that country!

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR on history, paranormal and a very unique awesome country! Of its superstitions and culture!

Thank you for creating this series! I am definitely waiting for next sequals!

WELL WORTH IT!

Now the anime style reminds me of a little bit from the 1990s Batman Animated Series but it still draws you in on the plot since each episode is different and it all comes together. I AM IMPRESSED!

Anime from Asian countries are always the best! This series Trese is no different!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED (especially if you are intrigue of how other countries deals with demons/spirits and the paranormal/supernatural)

Ninja Assassin (2009)

This was one of the best ACTION MOVIE that I have seen in a long time!

[10/10 · 12 June 2021]

This was actually one of the very best action movies that I have seen in quite some time!

The special effects is phenomenal and captures the essences of the ghost movements of actual ninjas with enhanced supernatural powers, or in this case secret arts.

Without spoiling anything the "Big Boss" guy at the end was no push over at all, and his "older brother" he had to fight....

If you just want "action" you can jump to the 1 hour mark and from there on its all blood and action and lots of deaths if thats what you want to see.

Again without spoilers in my review, I HIGHLY recommend watching this movie if you are into action.

Just so you know, SWAT team with rifles even got slaughtered.

Dark arts, you can see why.

The Uncanny Counter (2020–2023)

Haha Funny but Very Action Packed and More

[9/10 · 10 January 2021]

I was very entertained when watching these episodes! There are lots of feel good times in this series and I like the cast since they just seem to grow on you as each one is different in their abilities and quirkiness but they can get very serious when things get to the extreme danger zones. Also his classmates the fat guy and the nerdy girl are also funny. Whenever I see them get picked on, I get mad too. Overall great series and episodes so far! Thank you!

Kingdom (2019– )

OH COME ON!!! WTF?!?!

[10/10 · 2 February 2019]

This is like one of the best ever zombie apocs EVER! (oh wait...SMALLPOX.... lol) Then after the episode 6 shocker it literally was like WTF moment. This was crazy, insane and amazing how they set this series up and I'm starting to even wonder if they will need help from outside sources (like Japan) to their help/ aid if needed but since this was taken place in a different time era with unexpected turns (not to spoil more) this has got my definite attention and I am impatiently want to see what happens in the next season!!

DAMN THIS WAS GOOD

Illang: The Wolf Brigade (2018)

One on One

[10/10 · 1 November 2018]

Hey this was pretty good! Not to *spoil things, but at the end, it had to be One vs One. You will see from the *leader to the one that had *ghosts of the past haunting him and the true one to reveal of the purest heart of righteousness. Reminded me of "Wolves of Mibu" from Rurouni Kenshin Anime version. but in its unique authentic Korean form. Loved it.

Monkey Twins (2018– )

OH MY GOD EPIC

[10/10 · 21 September 2018]

Whoa....

THIS IS AN EPIC AWESOME SHOW!!! First when you get introduced to the characters and who they are/great enjoyable people and then all the fate of them coming together as everything gets to insanely dark mode from the ending of Episode 5 this goes beyond and above. Especially when they get to the Yakuza HOLY CRAP- THEY ARE REALLY SCREWED - Where to begin..... YOU JUST NEED TO SEE THIS.

From the spy ring to drug dealing to the international narcotics suppression trade to the loss of love ones and training and MORE. Its hard to explain but you really need to check this out!!

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THESE SERIES/EPISODES!!

LOVE IT and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Bleach (2018)

The Accuracy and Detail

[10/10 · 20 September 2018]

Wow, I was actually quite impressed. The accuracy for transitioning from the original anime into live human actors was well done and impressive in many ways. If you have seen the original Anime series of Bleach, it was pretty much as close to possible from drawing out the anime into live action real life action. Since there are tons of episodes of Bleach, the movie combines it all down to basically the first season of the Rukia saga and it ended pretty well to say the least on the timeframe they were able to fit within a 1 hour and 45 minute movie. Well done! and thank you for the live action scenes!

Psychokinesis (2018)

Wow! A feel good/comedy/HEARTWARMING movie!

[9/10 · 2 May 2018]

This movie was really ENJOYABLE, the special effects is quite stunning and it shows how a simple failed father to come to the aid/rescue of a daughter that he failed to protect finally does some good!. Not to spoil, but at the beginning of the movie, his grown daughter decides to set up a restaurant which is doing pretty good with special fried chicken recipe, but a construction crew with shady ties decides to buy out the property management and then uses physical brute force to close her restaurant down. Just not to spoil anything but everything starts changing around her mothers funeral since the construction crew killed her mother by accident. Her father acquired special telekinetic power skills and just wrecks these construction/thug goons up lol YOU NEED TO SEE IT TO GET THE REST OF THE STORY. VERY GOOD AND ENTERTAINING!!! 9 out of 10. Even familiar faces like Mr. Kim (the guy that played the supervisor boss cop guy in Cheo Yong) is in it adding some funny highlights and awesomeness. Check it out! Its actually clean, fun, great for family entertainment!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! THANK YOU FOR CREATING THIS UNIQUE MOVIE!! LOVED IT

PS: Ru-Mia's small group of restaurant patron fans tries to help her as best as they can, its like the simple people vs corporate construction thug goons with her father with an Ace card. CLEAN AND FUN for a change!

God of War (2017)

OMG the ending was INSANE

[9/10 · 30 March 2018]

The Japanese (bad guy during that time of Qi dynasty) Leader Guy took the secrets to his grave!! That was one hell of the most epic fight I have ever seen!

Gwishinboneun hyungsa, Cheo Yong (2014– )

Hey this was COOL

[10/10 · 18 March 2018]

After finishing both seasons, the end left me speechless and shocked of the ending and the team. The last case that they were on towards the final season took a very surprising and shocking twist of events that took my by definite surprise! I love these episodes, there is a unique style and an actual entertainment and at the end I actually felt good about these characters even what the tragic ending was so certain.... but overall IT IS AWESOME!! The first season I would have to give it an 8.5 and the 2nd season a 10. This was much much better than what I would have found in the US. The creativity level in Cheo Yong is awesome! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Battle for Incheon: Operation Chromite (2016)

Operation Chromite is for The Win

[10/10 · 17 March 2018]

I am very impressed with this historical accuracy that was never told in school. It truly is based off of real South Korean soldiers who did infiltrate the North during the 1950s Korean War. These are true heroes that did help turn the tide from the North completing their invasion of the South before they were pushed back.... the South and US could have finally finished the War but the Politicans stepped in to where the demarcation line still stands today. This is an excellant true story historical based movie, I honor these people.

Steel Rain (2017)

WOW This was Impressive and eerily scary

[10/10 · 17 March 2018]

This movie and its predecesser "Operation Chromite" is in its own class when it comes to the North Korea/South Korea peninsula war!! You have to watch this movie to start seeing how difficult and nearly impossible without so much bloodshed.... but it is a possibility! This movie "Steel Rain" will have current events as of 2018 in it especially of what would happen if the fat boy in NOKO ever had a coup on him and how the South would handle the situation if by some means fat boy was protected and fled to the south as a plausible effect if the new coup in the North took over.... see the movie yourself and you will see the hardships and current events.
