If you've seen the the movie quarantine this is the better orignal Spanish version which is way better version i thought the American version was okay but I wanted to see this version for a long time.
Manuela velasco plays a tv reporter who is filming a fire crew on call out to an incident at a apartment building when all hell breaks loose. For me Manuela is excellent as the reporter also a real life reporter in real life. The rest of the cast are good the make up so realistic. The movie had me on the edge of my seat thru out the 70 mins runtime. Sometime maybe I should watch the American remake again

That season finale
Though a remake it is still such a unique concept.
Westworld started off as being just interesting enough for me to keep coming back for more but at the same time I didn't fall in love with it as fast or as hard as a lot of other people did, but by the season finale I was so hooked even though I guessed the major plot twist part way through the season that the thought of waiting for season 2 was heartbreaking.
The concept of the show is such a unique idea and I love how it shows people at their worst when they have free reign of their own stories, there are a lot of plot twist and even though I figured out most of them it really didn't takeaway from the show at all.

Sass, Snark , and Southern Charm
Set in beautiful, and sadly fictional, Lake Sackett, GA. A Chicago native hits rock bottom professionally and moves to to Georgia to remake herself with the help of a hilarious and adorable cast of characters that comprise her absent father's side of the family. She finds love, laughter, her father, and herself as she tries to get by and find a new career while working in the family business.
It was an absolute joy. I would have laughed myself sick at times if I hadn't been trying to figure out if maybe the author had met some of my relatives. I loved every minute of this book and will definitely be reading it again and again. I can't wait for the next book in the series.

The wicker Man
Contains spoilers, click to show
Spoilers if you havent seen this movie.
Midsommar reminded me alot of wicker man. Here's how.
1. A group of people go to a remote festival, that only happens every some among of years. Yes i know that in wicker-man it was just the dective but still.
2. The festival celbrates by harvesting. In this movie the festival celbrates life and death, also new borns. Actually in wicker-man, the main charcter burns inside of the wicker-man a celebrate of death.
3. The festival is run by males and females who are questionable. In the remake of wicker-man the festival is run by women while the man work.
4. The festival has a questionable/horryfying past.
This movie has a lot in common with both versions of the wicker-man.
I liked actually both versions of the wicker-man that this movie. Yes the nicolas cage wicker-man is better than this movie.

Remake/reimagining of the 1981 original, I remember the big thing about this at the time as the special effects. Or, rather, the post-production 3D effects added released, as this was, only a few short years after James Cameras na exceptional 'Avatar'. Whereas 'Avatar', however, was filmed specifically in and for 3D, this film owes more of a debt to the older 1980s 3D films: watching this in 2D it's quite obvious to see what scenes were added specifically for the effects (I'm thinking mainly of the attack of the giant scorpions, or the Kraken at the end),
Starring Sam Worthingon - whatever happened to him? - as Perseus, the plot of this obviously takes inspiration from Greek myths, even down to having Liam Neeson playing the part of Zeus himself, and of the Pegasus.

Fun!
Took me a while to finally watch this one. There have been more than a couple "not-so-good" godzilla movies made that made me wary. This one, however, turned out pretty good. The acting was good(Millie Bobby Brown impresses again), the cinematography/ effects were great. I appreciate that they went with the "older" look to the monsters(they were awesome). The action scenes were intense and the story(whilst taking a lot-and I mean a LOT-of liberties with science and nature) was very entertaining. A few cheesy jokes, a corny scene here and there, a couple jump scares and the remake of the Godzilla song thrown in make this a fun watch for everyone. This is what a movie should be-entertaining and fun(even with the socio-political undertones). REALLY worth a watch!
