Halloween Horror Nights 2024 (It's Terror Time Again)

Image
      Hello everyone, Hector here once again, and I'm so excited about our latest topic for my blog as it's about one of my favorite things ever! Recently, I've visited one of my favorite events, Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Florida for its 33rd year and for the past few years since 2021 (AKA the best vacation ever), I've been attending the event. Coming into HHN 2024, I was optimistic but skeptical as the prior year I experienced wasn't great as many of the scare zones, haunted houses, and overall vibe weren't clicking with me unfortunately. In retrospect, I was disappointed by the experience as something felt missing or off. It wasn't a total disaster though as I enjoyed a couple of the scare zones and some of the haunted houses were fantastic, like "The Darkest Deal" (the best house of 2023), "Dueling Dragons", "Universal Monsters: Unmasked", and "The Last of Us."      I walked into the haunted house

Venom The Last Dance Review (Parting is such sweet sorrow)

      Hi everyone, Hector here, back again with another blog post! Hope you're all doing well as I got another exciting topic to discuss and that is none other than the third and supposed final installment of the Venom series, The Last Dance! This one I have been quite looking forward to discussing as this was one of my most anticipated movies of 2024, which sounds crazy, trust me. But I have good reason to be excited about this particular film!      For the story of Venom: The Last Dance, set shortly after the events of Let There Be Carnage, Venom and Eddie are on the run from not only the military and other armed forces, but also these alien creatures known as the Xenophage, which are sent by a powerful force so dangerous that even Venom himself shutters just from his name, Knull. With no one to really turn to, Eddie and Venom need each other more than ever to overcome these massive odds!      Regarding the Venom franchise, I'm going to say this with 100% sincerity and no sha

The X-Men: My favorite superhero team!

       Hi everyone, Hector once again! Hope you're all doing well. It's been a little bit since I posted anything as I've been busy with other stuff with life in general and other things I've been working on. Anyway, after my last post was a rant on probably one of the most dreadful things I had to sit through, I thought that the best option for my next post should be about something I love! There are quite a few options I could go with, but I decided to focus this post on one of my favorite things ever. And that is none other the children of the atom, the X-Men!      Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in September 1963, the X-Men are a group of superheroes that consists of various superpowered beings called mutants. These mutants live throughout the world that is complicated to say the least as many of the ones that are human are afraid of mutants due to their abilities and how different they are from humans, and what people don't understand, they give into fear an

I saw The Predator (2018) and it's not bad.......it's worse than I thought! (Spoilers)

    Hi everyone, it's Hector again and welcome to another one of my shenanigans, but unfortunately, this is not going to be a pleasant one as the topic I'm discussing today won't be positive as this is my first official rant on this blog of mine. I do my best to stay positive or put a positive spin on various things, but guess a rant was bound to happen sooner or later as this certain movie really did a number on me and my intelligence. Recently, I decided to check out the Predator franchise, particularly the sequels as I did see the first movie a couple of years ago, and thought it was fantastic, but never got around to seeing the sequels, though I wanted to. Predator 2 was uneven, but enjoyable, while Predators, despite its faults, I was quite into thanks to its amazing premise and cast! Then, I moved onto the next installment, The Predator, and let's just say this movie is one of the most stupid, horribly written, poorly thought out, creatively bankrupt, laughable ab

Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom?! (Why we should keep an open mind on this casting choice)

      Hi everyone, Hector again with more of my shenanigans, but thought I would discuss something a little different this time around, which is of a recent announcement that happened a week ago at San Diego Comic Con 2024. A lot has been shown and announced from Marvel, from Thunderbolts to Captain America: Brave New World to Fantastic Four: First Steps (most looking forward to that one), and the two Avengers movies, Doomsday and Secret Wars. Avengers 5 was initially called Kang Dynasty, but due to the controversial Jonathan Majors situation, Majors was fired from Kang, and plans regarding Kang has changed, which based on the title, Doomsday, sounds like Doctor Doom will be the next big villain! But what caught everyone's attention is who will be playing Doctor Doom, and it's none other than Iron Man/Tony Stark himself, Robert Downey Junior!      Saying this news is surprising is an understatement as no one in a million years would have guessed this happening! Funnily enough,

Deadpool and Wolverine Review (A Unlikely, Yet Beautiful Pairing)

Image
      Hi again, Hector here, and welcome back to another post on my shenanigans. For today, it's my review of my most anticipated film of 2024 and the latest movie in the constantly expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe, Deadpool and Wolverine! Not only is it the third Deadpool movie, it's also the first one set within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as well as being the first R rated film. Not to mention it's kind of a finale of sorts for the Fox Marvel Era that started back in 2000 with X-Men, and on top of that, it's bringing back Hugh Jackman as Wolverine once again, despite announcing that his last time playing the character was back in 2017 with Logan. There's a lot riding on this one, especially with how the Marvel Cinematic Universe, save for some exceptions, has been in a tough spot with the quality of their movies nowadays. Can Deadpool, with the inclusion of Wolverine, bring back life to the Marvel Cinematic Universe or it's a lost cause at this point?
