Geekatana Review: The Mandalorian (Season 2) More Easter eggs and Cameo

The Mandalorian is a spin off mini series aired on Disney+. Its Disneys latest shot at a live action tv show set on the star wars universe.

There's currently 2 season is the show done but for this review I'll be focusing on season 2 as I have already done the review of Season 1.

Geekatana Review - Onward - Two Brothers Heartfelt DnD Adventure

Onward is a animated fantasy set in an modern urban setting.  The film was produced by Pixar Animation Studios for Walt Disney Pictures. The film is directed by Dan Scanlon, produced by Kori Rae for a screenplay written by Scanlon, Jason Headley and Keith Bunin. It stars the voices of Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Octavia Spencer.  

I was having second thoughts about the film as the trailer didn't impress me as much as I wanted but decided to go see it anyways. One could say I had low expectations for this film going in. But I guess you never should judge a movie by its trailer and that goes double for this one.

Geekatane Review - The Mandalorian - the Starwars Western

The Mandalorian, also known as Star Wars: The Mandalorian, is not something I was really excited for when it was first announced. I feel it will just be another long drawn story of either Boba Fett or Jango as a way to Disney to bleed the franchise further.

In fact it wasn't until episode 5 that I decided to start watching it and see what all the hype was about. I've decided to let the series run its course on Disney+ before going into the review to give it a proper review of sort. Also there will be minor spoilers in this one.

Geekatana Review - Frozen II

With the review of the first Frozen film down its finally high time we dive into the review of the second film. We watched this thursday night which is a day after the opening. We were planning to watch it on opening day but decided on the day after.

Since I've already watched and done a review of the first film I'll be making slight comparison to it a bit. I'll try not to spoil anything but I will probably touch on thing that was shown in the trailer. but just in case the minor spoiler flag is up for this review.

Starwars: The Rise of the Skywalker Trailer 2 - Showed Too much and Too Little

The second trailer for Starwars: The Rise of the Skywalker just dropped and it showed some really interesting stuff. Some of it was already theorized at one point and a couple of times before. Some new stuff that nobody probably expected too. I'll go breakdown the trailer on what I find good, bad and the all stuff in between.

I'm sure this trailers been picked upon by a lot of fans by now with theories and what not so I've decided I'd give my two cents in as well. Also spoiler flag is up just in case some of these theories ever did come true in the actual film.

Starwars: The Mandalorian Trailer - Analysis and What we know so far

The official trailer for the Starwars: The Mandalorian just dropped on youtube and it looking great. For those not familiar with what it is the show is basically a spin off story of a lone Mandalorian gunslinger set in the same universe as that galaxy far far away.

What makes Starwars: The Mandalorian exciting is unlike Boba Fett and Jango Fett who a lot of Starwars hardcore fan already know so much about this "Mandalorian" is an entirely new character so folks can expect a lot of new and unexpected things from this character.

Geekatana Movie Review: Aladdin (2019)

It seems like a lot of Disney animated films are getting the live action treatment these days. It all started back in 2010 with Alice in Wonderland followed by Cinderella and Disney hasn't shown any signs of stopping any time soon. So fast forward to present year 2019 and we now get to a live version adaptation of Aladdin. I'm not much for fairy tale stories but Aladdin holds a special place in my heart as it's one of my favorite Disney animated movies of all time.

Yes I'm one of those folks who thinks that Aladdin is ok as it is and didn't need a live action adaptation. The trailer was ok but not enough to make me excited for the movie. In fact I'd probably went to see it just to compare it to the animation one. And boy do I have a lot to say about it too. I'll try not to spoil the story but this is a live action adaptation of Aladdin so there's probably not too much to spoil.

Geekatana Movie Review: Avengers Endgame

Was lucky enough to be able to watch this movie on the first day of showing. We reserved our seats almost a week before the day of showing and we were forced to take a screening time much differently than the usual movie time we get when watching movies. A lot of hype and great expectations were hanging on this film.

The film was clocked at around three hours and is probably the longest MCU movie to date. A make or break move by the folks at Marvel for sure. This will be a spoiler free review as I know a lot of folks have yet seen Avengers End Game in theaters.

The Incredibles 2 Non Spoiler Review

The movie was packed when I went to see this film. First time I've seen a group of at most ten people going in together. I went to the theater early to reserve our seats but nearly all the seats are nearly taken that I had to settle for a movie seat near the top at the far back of the theater. There was a lot of hype riding on this movie. I've seen kids and adult of all ages line up to see this sequel film. A rare feat if you consider the first Incredibles movie came out nearly more than ten years ago. Since the movie just came out I'll be doing a none spoiler review for this one.

With the bar set high by the first Incredibles film I was kind of nervous going in to this film. Disney now owns Pixar and new management usually means new changes and most of the time changes are bad. Not to mention both the games based on the film the Incredibles for the X-Box and its supposed direct game sequel Rise of the Underminer for the PS were both really bad games.

Coco Movie Review

Coco is about a 12 year old boy named Miguel (voiced by Anthony Gonzales), born in a Mexican family that had banned music due to something that happened in the past, which was bad news for Miguel since he aspires to become a musician and become like his musical idol Ernesto de la Cruz (voiced by Benjamin Bratt). As if hiding his passion for music from his family was hard enough, Miguel due to some crazy circumstances suddenly found himself in the land of the dead where he met Hector (Gael Garcia Bernal) a trickster who joined him in his adventure of self discovery and learning the importance of family and chasing your dreams.

Coco is computer animated fantasy musical adventure film made by Pixar and released under Walt Disney Pictures and directed by Lee Unkrich and co-directed by Adrian Molina that features an all Latina cast. It nearly went under my radar. There's very little to no hype about it in the Philippines, and a story about a boy chasing his dreams isn't exactly something new when it comes to stories. A movie plot that happens during the Mexican holiday of Dia de Muerto or Day of the Dead isn't exactly exciting unless it's a horror-action flick or a zombie movie. The movie title itself is as plain as you can get but I couldn't be so glad that I was able to watch it.
