My Top 10 Movies of 2019

 With 2019 almost its that time again to wound up my usual Top 10 Movie List of the Year. Regrettably I haven't watched much movies this year than I really wanted to but that just how it goes sometimes. So expect certain movies  not making an appearance on this list even if I'm sure they would easily make any Top 10.

This list will only include movies I've managed to watched this year. Expect some of your favorites to not to make the list cause it be a disservice to rank a film I haven't watched yet. With that thing clear let get on with the My Top 10 Movies of 2019.

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 Movie Review - Starwars: The Rise of Skywalker - Threading on familiar grounds

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is a movie produced, co-written, and directed by J. J. Abrams. It is the third installment of the Star Wars sequel trilogy, following The Force Awakens (2015) and The Last Jedi (2017). It is the final episode of the nine-part "Skywalker saga" and was produced by Lucasfilm and Abrams's production company Bad Robot Productions. Its distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.

Wanting to avoid spoilers I decided to go watch the advance screening of the film which will air in the Philippines from December 20 to 22 on selected theaters throughout the country due to the MMFF. The film has already gotten mixed reviews from critics. And I wanted to see if myself to give my own too cents on it.

Jumanji: The Next Level is a 2019 American fantasy adventure comedy film directed by Jake Kasdan and written by Kasdan, Jeff Pinkner and Scott Rosenberg. The film is the sequel to 1995's Jumanji that starred Robin Williams, following 2017's Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. It is fourth installment, overall, in the Jumanji franchise. 

I only watched the film yesterday as the writing of this review so I'm really late in this one. I've watched Jumanji Welcome to the Jungle so I've decided to do a review on this one as well. Minor spoilers are in effect just to be sure.

Geekatana Game Review - KOF All Star - KOF Nostalgia in Android Game form

The King of Fighters All Star is a beat 'em up role-playing game developed by Netmarble Games and published by SNK for the iOS and Android. It was released first in Japan back in July 26, 2018. The english version was released in English regions on October 22, 2019.

I'm a fan of KOF but didn't play this game on its release date since I was having issues with the control mechanics of KOF as a whole. Thankfully this was all put to rest when I finally tried my hands on the game a few weeks later. Anyways enough about that and lets all just dive into this review.

Azur Lane the Animation - Ship girls vs ship girls and aliens

Azur lane the Animation i based on the Android mobile game simple known as Azur Lane. adaptation for television was announced in September 2018. The anime series is directed by Tensho, director of Grisaia and Rewrite's anime adaptations, with writer Jin Haganeya, and Yasunori Nishiki composing the music.

I've actually watched the anime series before actually picking up the game for the Android. Also since I've done the review of the Android game I think it is only fitting I do a review of the anime series as well. You can check the review on the android game here.

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.

Geekatana Review - Frozen (2013)

Frozen is a 2013 a musical fantasy film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures.[5] The 53rd Disney animated feature film, it is inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale "The Snow Queen"

Originally I was supposed to do a review of Frozen 2 but decided to put it off for a few days so I can do a review of the first film just so I can compare them. So please bare with me as I give my two cents on this movie before we dive into Frozen 2.

Azur lane - Honor, Loyalty and Anthropomorphic Ship Girls

Azur Lane is a side-scrolling shoot 'em up video game created by Chinese developers Shanghai Manjuu and Xiamen Yongshi. The game was released in 2017 for the iOS and Android. First launched in China in May and in Japan in September 2017.

The game is said to rank just below fate Stay and kancolle franchises. Im no fan of ship girls and I'd admit it took me a while to finally got around to playing the game. Also I know this is greatly compared to kancolle but for this review I won't be making any comparison to it since it feels like a disrespect to both franchises.

Geekatana Food Review - McDonalds Choco Pie

Well let us move on to the contender which is McDonald's who is also no stranger in the fast food pie making business. Most folks will remember McDonalds for its apple pie but it also has some raspberry, Strawberry and Custard and banana pies. But we are going to focus on their latest which is the Choco pie. A McDonalds pie that was first introduced in Japan and Korea.

First off unlike most McDonalds pies the crust is also made of chocolate which is new. The idea of having a chocolate crust brings out a more chocolate flavor in the pie which is good or bad depending on how much you love chocolates as this could overwhelm certain people. But for chocolate lovers this would be a much welcome treat.

Geekatana Food Review - Jollibee's Buko Pie

Im a big fan of Buko pie so when I found out Jollibee is having a Buko pie in their menu I knew I had to try it. Sadly due to my busy schedule it took me quite a while to get my hands on them. But hey better late than never I guess.

Sadly since I was also in a hurry I didn't get to take any decent pic for thi review so you folks will have to settle with the photos I can grab from the internet and from the Jollibee site. I don't own these pics they are just there for references. Anyways on with the quick review.
