Spider-man: Far from Home Re-release 5/27/24

 

20240530-082128

Caught this with my best bud. Though its far from perfect, Far From Home does a good job in revamping the Mysterio character into a more serious role. Got a free poster this time again. Not sure why certain films were lacking in those aspects. Anyhow, lets finish the re-releases with No Way Home next week.

Spider-man Homecoming back in theaters 5/20/24

 Caught this with my nephew this past Monday. They did not give us posters this time though the turnout was great imo. 

This MCU is quite entertaining though they messed up some characters like Flash and MJ. Anyways, Far from Home hits next week!

Below is the link on how the poster should had looked had they distributed in my area.

Transformers 40th Anniversary Event May 19, 2024

Caught the Sunday screening of the Transformers 40th Anniversary screening. This was not the screening of the 86 movie but the first 4 episodes which includes More than meets the Eye 1-3 and Transport to Oblivion. The real bonus was that the first episode was re-dubbed by new and old veterans. Frank Todaro did a really good job as Starscream filling in the for the late Chris Latta. Prior to the screening, there were toy ads and previews for the upcoming Transformers one film. There was also outtakes of the redubs after episode 1. 

From Episode 2 and beyond, it was just the original aired episodes. The screening goes downhill after the outtakes. It just felt like filler at this point. They should had just ended imo after More than meets the eye episode 3. 

When the episodes end, there is a PSA with Bumblebee and a "In Memoriam" quickie with now deceased voice actors. Then the auditorium just lits up. This was found to be very irksome by the TF community. No final words but just a remembrance quickie and that is it, the show is over. 

It is what it is. This was pretty much for true fans or people who really grew up with TF. Even then, it was kinda of disappointing. I really wished they redub all 4 episodes. Not only that but at least have some kinda of thank you letter towards the end.  At least that would had made it a little worthwhile. Well, see you next with Spider-man Homecoming re-release.

River City Girls quickie review.

 Initially this game got on my nerves, but as usual, I try to play it through and then I managed to beat the game and learn some of the tricks. I can't pull off those amazing infinite juggles the pros can do but I learned enough moves to defeat the opposition. This game caught my eye simply because there are references to Double Dragon. Some characters make cameos in here. One of them is actually a boss!

I am aware that this game is a tribute to River City Ransom of old school NES fame. However, I don't recollect on the time I played it on the NES. I haven't played the hard mode or found the secret shop but I have completed the game 100%. Well, this game is fun though it grinded my gears a bit in comparison to Double Dragon: Rise of the Dragons which is produced by the same company. The game is also a little repetitive as well. Anyhow see you next time.

It was a nice turnout I say. The screen was half filled and my nephew, whom I brought, seem to had enjoyed it. Tom Holland's Spider-man MCU films hit the screen next!

Spider-man 3 (2007) re-release in theaters 4/29


 20240429-181114 Screenshot-20240501-081904-Gallery


Saw this on a nearly packed screen. There was only one showing so maybe that's why everyone was crammed into one screen. Well, the Raimi trilogy concludes. This film is an example on what happens when the studios interfere. If only the studios allowed Raimi to do what he wanted or perhaps release a directors cut in the future, maybe Spider-man 3 wouldn't be chastised the way it was when it was first released. 


Lots of people in the auditorium seemed to enjoyed this flick due to nostalgic reasons but also this was where the Bully Maguire theme first emerged. Try guess which scenes were the people laughing at? Anyhow, got a free poster and the movie even got an applause after which shocked me. Anyhow, Spider-Monday continues next week with The Amazing Spider-man
