Terence Ho since 1981(The Last Ronin)

 We enter 2026 and I only pray that we get closer and closer to our lord, Jesus Christ.  A word from Cinema shogun.  Just remember to not become a monster. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. 

                                                             (Possible Spoilers: fair warning!) I decided to pick this up because I grew up with TMNT. I grew up with the 87 show but often read the Mirage comics in my local library from time to time. I really loved the 2k3 series when it debuted and I dabbled here and there when it came to anything TMNT afterwards. With the exception of Next Mutation, you got to see short stories of previous animated adaptions such as the 87 show, 2k3, 2012, and even Rise. Rise gets a bittersweet send off for one of the leads while you have the 87 just chillin as usual. The 2k3 brings back the Utrom Shredder in what is a continuation of Turtles Forever. How he comes back is still a mystery, but he is there and the Turtles do an iconic pose from that of the comics. The 2012, I'm not too sure but it seem...

I do not own the rights nor the credits to this song. I'm sharing this song I just found recently on a classic film. All credit goes to Nightdriver . Please support Nightdriver  and their Youtube channel if you like their songs. 

All rights to WB pictures. Credit also goes to Top Clips music.  This is really a crazy world we live in. We need Jesus more than ever. I know this ain't the glorifying type of Christian music but Superman was based and inspired by Jesus.  Once again, we need Jesus more than ever in this crazy world. Despite the craziness, I still place my trust in Jesus. 

  *TMNT movie is the property of New Line Productions/Warner Brothers. All rights and credits go to New Line/WB. Picture is used for informational purposes. No profit is intended.*  Quite a bit of people showed up. The flick was remastered and brings back many memories. 35 years went by so quick. The bonus's are prior to the feature film. You get the famous deleted ending where the turtles are being marketed as a comic book where Mikey falls off. An Alt intro to the beginning and Casey's deleted comic book intro. Anyhow, take care folks. Jesus is king.  *Update 8/22: The film, according to Fathom events, has hit 3.3 million in the box office leading to another week Aug 22-28, 2025. Supposedly this is Fathom Events biggest re-release in 2025. Because of TMNT's success, Secret of the Ooze will now have a 35th anniversary re-release* https://www.fathomentertainment.com/releases/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-ii-the-secret-of-the-ooze-35th-anniversary/

  Looney Tunes property of WB; Distributed by Ketchup Entertainment Caught this with my nephew one afternoon. Never knew there was a Looney Tunes film that was released. The poster isn't even on Joblo.com. I decided to just look at some movies playing and voila! A Looney Tunes film. Look at Wikipedia for the synopsis for I won't be doing it here. All I will say is that my theater had at least 11 people including us. The bad marketing for this flick has pretty much put WB on some heat because they continue to shelve legacy characters. Look up Coyote vs Acme up; though there maybe some light at the end of the tunnel for that flick as you are reading this.  As for this flick, there is a twist to the end of this film and it gets revealed why the flick is named the way it is. Your heroes as you can see is Porky Pig and Daffy Duck, whom are both voiced by Eric Bauza who does a fantastic job doing so. Petunia Pig also makes her re-debut here on the big screen though I don't re...

  Mortal Kombat Conquest I just got back into watching the entire season (the only season) again on the Max channel. 22 episodes of MK tv lore. Was it worth the hype? So many people claim today that it is cheesy by today's standards, which I do agree partially. Not only that but the show dragged on from time to time. Well, I'll just jump into it. It was very nostalgic for me to re-visit the series. Besides some of the campiness I'd mentioned. It was a good series after all. The fight scenes still hold up very well today. Especially the Sub-Zero vs Scorpion fight we all grew to love in "The Serpent and the Ice" episode. Shao Kahn was portrayed as the evil and cunning emperor Earthrealm grew to fear. Brian Thompson's  portrayal of the emperor in MK Annihilation just left a lot to be desired. There were lots of women in skimpy outfits in this show and it was around that time I found Angelica Bridges and Sung-Hi Lee to be super attractive. Nearly 30 years later, m...

 Well, this marks the first year in a while that I did no Transformer review minus the TF One movie review. I do have 86 Swoop, Optimus Prime and a few other figures I would like to delve into. Hopefully in 2025. The world is a crazy place now like how the Bible has predicted. Stay close to Jesus folks . Surprisingly, the page that received the most views created in 2024 was the Spider-man 3 review.  Runner up is TASM #2 Arguably the films that didn't do too hot in their respective franchises garnered the most views. Maybe some kind of cult following. Anyhow. I will try to do some TF reviews again next year since I got a new camera. Take care folks and take Jesus with you.  2 Corinthians 1:3-4 3  Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4  who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.

  Technically I saw Transformers one back in Sept. I just realized I shot a pic of the poster they gave me. Since I just saw Venom: The Last Dance, I decided to add both posters here.   So Tranformers One basically, and finally, tells a story just about Transformers. No Bayverse explosions or annoying humans. I won't delve into the movie much but it is one of the better TF films of the past decade. Sadly it didn't do well in the box office. Some say its because of the bad first trailer. Some say thanks to all the Bayfilms, people are tired of TF.   Venom is a decent send off to the Eddie Brock/Venom character. The film I thought was not bad to how the internet is making it out to be, but it suffers from adding lots of pointless characters such as the doctors. We get a tease on one of the female doctors and her traumatic childhood experience and how it's gonna shape and play out at the end. In between all this, we seem to focus on her other doctor friend instea...

Final TMNT Shredder revenge update. It was nice to see this game still getting some love two years later. As soon as the trailer dropped I bought the DLC the next day; it is $4 btw. The DLC sparked back some life to the online community on Steam. I'm pretty sure I can say the same for the other console communities as well. The characters are pretty fun to use. Still getting used to finding their niche and stuff, but here it is again, TMNT Radical Reptiles DLC-- the last TMNT update. Video credit to original user. I am only using the video for informational purposes. 

I like how some people are trying to say its the feast of Dionysus or something like that. This video proves its not even close. God is not to be mocked.  Credit to SC reviews. 

Spider-Mondays have officially ended. The version showcased here was actually "the more fun stuff version." It doesn't help out the film too much though you got mainly extra banter here and there.  So this is the nostalgic version of Spider-man which brings back Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's Spider-men along with their rogues gallery. It was a nice re-watch plus half of the audience did clap for Tobey's re-appearance.  I made a long rant on Aunt May and how her character just became a different character all of a sudden after 2.5 films (Civil War included) in the Transformers board. Not to mention, her version of "Responsibility" is underwhelming and was really not needed to be honest. But they had to put it for nostalgia and a reason to merge the Spider-men together. But I'm going to spare a long rant about why it didn't work here. Overall, the movie is great. It's nostalgic but doesn't entirely break new grounds too much. The Mult...

  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. 

 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.  https://www.reddit.com/r/Spiderman/comments/1cx0jke/spiderman_homecoming_poster_rerelease/

  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 fina...

 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.  River City Girls Wikipedia

 I missed out on the the first TASM due to family dinner. But I managed to catch # 2 this time around. 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!

    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 .  Spider-man is the property of Sony/Columbia pictures and Marvel. All rights belong to them.

 Caught Spider-Man 2 (2004) re-release. Arguably one of the best comic book superhero sequel films made.    Came with a free poster so that was neat. While it was nice to see this on the big screen again it didn't wow me with nostalgia like the first film. Alright, well, lets finish the original trilogy next week with Spider-man 3.  Spider-man is the property of Sony/Columbia/Marvel.
