K-POP DEMON HUNTERS: WHAT SONG IS THE BEST?

Image
What a year it's been in the movie industry this 2025! So many things happened. It was a series of unexpected events. Top of that list is the iconic, the undefeated, the so-good-you-watch-it-on-repeat! K-Pop Demon Hunters Source: Savoy Before we continue, I want to answer your question. Yes, this review is pretty tardy for an animation that came out five months ago. However, fans don't seem to have gotten over it. The world is still talking about it. So I like to think that I'm just on time. For anyone yet to watch this tasty slice of gimbap , which is very unlikely if you have little siblings, K-Pop Demon Hunters is a musical and action animation. It was released as a Sony Spectacular on Netflix in June 20, 2025 . That glorious day saw the birth of a new era for Kpop, the Golden Era. Produced by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans , K-Pop Demon Hunters stars a Kpop girl band with singers Rumi , Mira and Zoey who have another life behind the stage. Not Power Rangers. They ar...

DEAR ME: FINAL EDITION 💝✨

Image
Cheers, to the '025 Set🥂  Mara made the sign of the cross and dropped her pen on the desk. It had been a routine for every exam, a gesture of commitment. Today, it was history. Today, October 11, 2025. Saturday morning, in GS Theatre A. She walked down the stairs slowly, taking in the rustle of the papers, the soft thud of her sneakers. Her sash rippled rhythmically as she stepped towards the invigilator, Mr Nwachukwu, and submitted her script and for the last time. Outside, there was already a sea of students. Course mates that had started the journey with her. Today, together, they were ending it. "Congratulations!" Tola cried and rushed to her first. Mara gave her a hug and let her sign on her shirt with a red marker. As she felt the cold tracing of the marker below her shirt, the dream became real. She thought, this is it. This is finally it. "Theodora!" "Mara mia!" The two friends embraced and giggled in each other's arms. Then they parted, l...

ATTACK ON TITAN: MORE THAN AN ANIME.

Image
  Photocredit: Pinterest. Hey, Movie Lover! It's been a while in this genre. Mara's Classic Movie Collection (which I began with the year) has suffered minimum published reviews and heaps of uncredited movies. These days, I just rant about my latest watched(s) on my status updates. So far, the movie industry has been thriving and enjoying good reviews, and frankly, I've been more thrilled than disappointed by 2025's catalogue of culture shifting releases. Photocredit: Game Rant. It's not too late to make an epic comeback with an epic series that is too golden to be simply ranted on. It isn't relatively new but hey, classics are always new. On that note, I give you... ATTACK ON TITAN (前進する巨人) This is an anime written and illustrated by Hajime Isayama. What started as a silent manga with blade wielding comic characters soon became a voiced, dubbed and subbed anime. The real name sans interpretation is Shingeki No Kyojin which means literally, The Advancing Giant. ...

Classic Movie Collection: The 3Ds

  Mara's Classic Movie Collection. Take one 🎬 In Anywood, there are good movies. Then, there are bad movies. Finally, there are movies you just have to watch in a life time! On this first edition of Mara's Classic Movie Collection, we have Deadpool, Deadpool & Wolverine and Dead Poet's Society in the spotlight. Ready to find out if they're worth the hype from my eyes? DEADPOOL This was a recommendation by Gifty and I have to say... Well! I feel mature. This was the Deadpool I knew from childhood in the X-men cartoons. He didn't change; red, nonchalant in the face of death and a good swordsman. One change though, he's fouler than I remember.  I love the concept of him not trying to be a hero. That's the real personality of Deadpool as I can remember. They also kept the humour. Deadpool in the middle of a multi-car collision  wondering if he left the stove on. It was nice watching two cracked up and battered adults find a meaning out of their lives by bei...

DEAR ME🎁 THE PENULTIMATE 3

Image
Mara rolled her eyes and made the sign of the cross. Worst exam yet, she fumed as she stood up and delivered her paper to the tall robust and unsmiling Mr Robert. Then she scanned the tense hall before walking down the aisle and out the door. She smiled when she saw Theodora looking out for her. She joined her and both of them embraced and whimpered. Leo soon joined them. A look in one another's eyes was enough to pass the message; the exam had been tough. "Does anyone care for ice cream?" Leo asked suddenly. Then their faces lit up and they strolled to the back of FASA hall where an icecream bicycle was standing near the popcorn box. "You're the best, Leo! Icecream is perfect for the celebration," said Theodora with a noisy sip. "It doesn't feel much like a celebration. Those questions were a perfect example of what I ordered versus what I got," Mara sighed. "Look on the bright side. We're done for the year and in a few days, we'l...

AREA '61 Epilogue

  Epilogue  "Every den has its shadows. When the sun shines and the lamppostss blink to life at night, you can't see it. But if you look close enough, you catch a glimpse of it flitting from corner to edge. "UNN has a cult, or so I thought. I set out to unravel this mystery but I was really just seeking an adventure different from my everyday life. I was chasing a legacy that would hide me from the fears that haunt me daily. Fears of being alone, not wanted and silly. Are '61 was the red tag on my map. It made me shudder just to think of all the scandals I could unearth or forge. I set out to find what wasn't looking for me. Did I find it? No, but I found something better. I found that the world is not as dark and dreary as I thought. I found that people can be trusted. I found that the world is so full of different personalities and to survive in it, we must be tolerant. I found that sometimes, the answer to our questions are the questions themselves. I found tha...
