My Thoughts on “Annihilation” (2018)

Image
  (This is the poster for Annihilation (2018).)         We finally come to the final review for October 2026, Annihilation (2018). This is Alex Garland's second film as director after he made his debut with the 2014 sleeper hit, Ex Machina , which I haven't seen and I'm still not sure if I actually want to watch that movie even after seeing this movie. Even I didn't hate this movie by any means, it didn't convince me that I would like Ex Machina or his other movies after this. He of course went onto direct two movies, both of them for A24 and both of them war movies released a year apart from each other, Civil War 🇺🇸 (2024), which is a sci-fi movie about a hypothetical second American civil war 🇺🇸 taking place in modern day, and Warfare (2025), a movie set during the Iraq War 🇮🇶 that focuses on a platoon of Navy SEALs during the Battle of Ramadi. He didn't direct that movie on his own, he actually co-directed it with a guy ♂︎ named Ray Mendoza, who wa...

My Thoughts on “Kakurenbo”

Image
  (This is the poster for Kakurenbo .)       In the game of Otokoyo, kids will disappear...it was either that, or ask the question, would you play a game of hide-and-go-seek in an abandoned city if it meant get chased by demons? This is Kakurenbo , the 2005 Japanese cel-shaded 3D animated supernatural horror short film 🇯🇵 that aired on Adult Swim. Though given that it has a poster, and the poster on the Wikipedia page says "theatrical poster," I guess this short was released in theaters in Japan 🇯🇵. I wasn't sure if I should consider this a cartoon or anime, but since it was made in Japan 🇯🇵, I guess I'll count it as an anime whenever I do the tags. Or labels as Blogger calls them. I know I said that Annihilation (2018) would be my next review after Colony (2026), and I still do fully intend on reviewing that movie, but I saw this movie on my list, I added it a year or so ago and I thought I would knock out something quick before I dive into Annihilation (2...

My Thoughts on "Colony" (2026)

Image
  (This is the English poster for Colony (2026).)        I finally I had enoug h free time to watch this movie. I was busy for the past few week, I kept going to Albuquerque for pretty much every day for the past week, and even today (Tuesday October 20, 2026) when I'm starting to write this. Obviously, last Wednesday (October 14, 2026), it was my grandma's payday, so went down to get some stuff we need for the house like paper towels, toilet paper (or as my grandma and apparently Costco calls it, "bath tissue"), Kleenex tissue, disinfectant wipes, trash bags, laundry detergent, softener, things like that. Then in the days after, we went back, either to get new supplies for our new addition (we're making a new addition to our house using the money 💵 from my dad's lawsuit) or to go the casino 🎰 for my grandma to either pick up one of her free gifts 🎁 that the casinos 🎰 giveaway every week, or to play her free promo. It's been like that for the past wee...
