Till the End of the Moon (2023)

Original title: Chang Yue Jin Ming
TV Series | 53m

An immortal, Li Susu is destined to time-travel 500 years back to prevent the death of a hostage prince to stop his transformation into the Devil god, who destroys four continents and three realms. Will secrets of time and fate deter her?

I stumbled upon this series on Netflix, and the ML on the movie poster immediately drew me in. However, the Netflix poster is different from the one on IMDB (left pic). From the very first episode, I was hooked and couldn’t resist binge-watching the subsequent episodes. I became so absorbed that I even connected ML to a character in a game I’m currently addicted to—though they don’t look similar, they definitely share a similar vibe.

I was curious if ML (Luo Yunxi) usually has this physique, as he seemed quite slim. Maybe the story called for him to be skinny; at times, his facial shots resembled a dragon’s, especially since he also plays the Ming Ye character. Initially, I thought this might be a reincarnation, but after a quick search on Reddit, I learned that Tantai Jin is not the reincarnation of Ming Ye (East Sea Dragon/God of War). Anway, I love his expressive eyes, and his aura is incredibly inviting.

I managed to finish all 40 episodes in just four days! It was a rollercoaster of emotions. By the time I reached the final episode, I was so invested that I felt like I was hyperventilating—I tend to get that way with certain shows or movies. There are only a few that have had such an effect on me, and I still haven’t finished those or can’t bring myself to watch the same movie again.

Now that I’ve completed the final episode, I’m not sure I can find another series or movie that can top this one. I started exploring ML's discography and am eager to check out his other projects, but I think this one will stay with me for a while.

Inside Out

Inside Out (2015)
PG | 1h 35m

After young Riley is uprooted from her Midwest life and moved to San Francisco, her emotions - Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust and Sadness - conflict on how best to navigate a new city, house, and school.

I rewatched this movie to prepare my review for our GEED 001: Understanding the Self class. I'll be submitting the answers below later on.

Joy: the vibrant and enthusiastic emotion in Riley's mind.

Throughout the film, she learns that happiness doesn't always come from avoiding negative emotions, but rather from embracing a full spectrum of feelings. She represents the pursuit of happiness and the importance of acknowledging the significance of sadness in life. Joy's journey teaches us that it's okay to feel sad and that it's an essential part of emotional growth.

Sadness: initially seems like an unwanted and burdensome emotion in Riley's mind.

However, as the story unfolds, it becomes clear that her role is crucial for Riley's emotional well-being. Sadness teaches us the importance of acknowledging and processing difficult emotions, demonstrating that sometimes it's okay not to be okay. Her character emphasizes the necessity of allowing oneself to feel sadness and the healing power of expressing vulnerability.

Anger: portrayed as a fiery and impulsive emotion, often leading to humorous situations in the movie.

Despite his initial tendency to cause chaos, Anger showcases the significance of acknowledging and appropriately channeling frustration. He highlights the necessity of expressing anger constructively and learning to manage it in a healthy way. His character demonstrates the importance of understanding and controlling strong emotions without letting them overpower rational thinking.

Disgust: serves as a protective mechanism for Riley, preventing her from engaging in situations that might be harmful or unpleasant.

Through her witty and quick-thinking demeanor, Disgust highlights the significance of setting personal boundaries and making sound judgments. She emphasizes the importance of self-respect and the need to avoid compromising one's values or well-being. Disgust's character teaches us the value of discernment and the importance of maintaining personal integrity.

Fear: portrayed as a cautious and vigilant emotion, constantly alerting Riley to potential dangers.

His character highlights the importance of being aware of potential risks and the need to approach unfamiliar situations with caution. Fear teaches us the significance of healthy risk assessment and the necessity of taking calculated steps to ensure safety and well-being. His role emphasizes the balance between being cautious and embracing new experiences to foster personal growth.

These characters collectively symbolize the intricate nature of human emotions and provide valuable insights into the significance of understanding and managing them effectively. "Inside Out" beautifully portrays the importance of embracing a full spectrum of emotions, acknowledging their roles in shaping our experiences, and learning to navigate life's challenges with resilience and emotional intelligence.

Elemental (2023)
PG | 1h 41m

Follows Ember and Wade, in a city where fire-, water-, land- and air-residents live together.

I can’t help but see a connection between Wade’s emotional nature and my son, who also describes himself as very emotional. For context, there was a time when I was addressing him about missing school, and he was already in tears, struggling to catch his breath. I asked him why he was crying so intensely, especially since I hadn’t even raised a hand to him. His response was that he has a “sensitive heart.” At that moment, I wasn’t sure whether to laugh or continue with my discussion, but I ultimately decided to stop. It’s amusing because he inherited this emotional side from me, which I, in turn, inherited from my late father. Despite his outwardly tough and strict demeanor, my father actually had a tendency to cry easily! 😄

Since that incident, I've been working on toughening him up through playful banter and teasing each other, all in good fun, of course! The aim is to ensure that he isn't easily hurt by words, but I also make sure to provide him with compliments to boost his self-esteem. Interestingly, when I heard Wade mention that he, too, has a sensitive heart, we both shared a chuckle.

Anyway, returning to the animated film, I derive great enjoyment from watching it. It offers a refreshing and one-of-a-kind concept, unlike anything I've come across before. While it does evoke shades of a Romeo and Juliet theme, this story concludes with a joyful ending. I couldn't help but ponder what their offspring might be like.

The Flash (2023)
PG-13 | 2h 24m

An electrifying superhero film that delivers an exhilarating cinematic experience.

Wakanda Forever

Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio (2022)
PG | 1hr 57min

A father's wish magically brings a wooden boy to life in Italy, giving him a chance to care for the child.

This movie offers a dark and captivating take on a classic fairy tale, almost like an adult version of Pinocchio. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it and was truly amazed by the mesmerizing slow-motion animation. The film's unique approach breathed new life into the familiar story, delving into deeper and more mature themes that kept me engaged from start to finish. The slow-motion animation added an extra layer of visual brilliance, creating a truly immersive and unforgettable cinematic experience. Overall, it was a refreshing and captivating departure from the traditional fairy tale adaptations, leaving a lasting impression on me.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022)

PG-13 | 2hr 41min

The people of Wakanda fight to protect their home from intervening world powers as they mourn the death of King T'Challa.

What a wonderful birthday treat for me and my boys, marking our first movie post-pandemic! It was truly a special occasion since our last cinema visit was around 3-4 years ago. To make it even more exciting, we got to experience the newly renovated cinema house, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations. The upgraded setting was a significant improvement over the old one, providing a much better viewing environment.

The only downside was that the restroom was quite far from the cinema, unlike before when it was conveniently located near the entrance of each cinema hall. Nevertheless, it didn't overshadow the joy of being back in the cinema after so long.

Admittedly, I didn't have high expectations, as my boys had shared some negative feedback beforehand. However, the movie turned out to be much better than I anticipated. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and it's worth mentioning that the movie showcased some fantastic girl power moments that I absolutely loved! It was a delightful and empowering experience, and I couldn't help but cheer for the strong female characters throughout the film. All in all, it was a memorable day, and we had a fantastic time celebrating my birthday with an unexpectedly enjoyable movie outing. Girl power all the way! :P.

The Yin-Yang Master

The Yinyang Master (2021)
1h 53min

Adaption of the phenomenon-level mobile game "Onmyoji" - film version with the same name that will bring the magnificent oriental fantasy world to life.

Currently trending on my Netflix feed, I opted for the English audio to spare myself from reading subtitles. Initially, the movie's legend/story was a bit confusing to me as I wasn't familiar with it, but as the plot unraveled, my interest grew immensely. Intrigued to fully grasp the movie's depth, I decided to re-watch it, and I must admit, I didn't mind at all since I thoroughly enjoyed the crystal-clear VFX and CGI.

Throughout the viewing, a fantastic idea took root in my mind – this captivating tale would make an incredible theme for a mobile game. Imagine embarking on an in-game adventure, collecting Shikigami, leveling them up, and engaging in battles like a card game or chess-like strategy. My excitement soared even higher when the animated QingMing appeared at the ending, and a quick Google search revealed that it was based on the mobile game "Onmyoji" (which, by the way, I'm currently addicted to :P), which in turn drew inspiration from the Onmyoji series. It turns out, the creative process was the other way around :P.

Thanks to AsiaOne, I learned that another YinYang Master movie predated this one, and fortunately, it's also available on Netflix. I found the story to be captivating, reminiscent of the likes of "Monkey King" or "Journey to the West" (both of which I hold dear as favorites). The movie's lesson, not to judge a book by its cover, resonated deeply – sometimes, those we least expect to be malevolent are the very ones concealing darkness within.

All in all, I'm adding this masterpiece to my list of favorite movies, titles, and legends. I can't help but hope for sequels to further explore this enchanting world. Fingers crossed! :)

The Yin-Yang Master: Dream of Eternity (2020)
Yin-Yang Master I (original title)
PG-13 | 2h 12min

Qing Ming, the Yin-Yang Master, took his master's last wish and went to the Captial Tiandu City to attend the heaven ceremony.

I couldn't help but notice the differences in the storyline compared to the previous version I had seen. It appears that this adaptation is more closely tied to the Onmyoji series, which might explain the variations.

While the character of QingMing was not as bad-ass in this rendition, he took on a different persona resembling a priest, akin to figures in "The Journey to the West" or "Monkey King." Surprisingly, it was Boya who stole the spotlight this time, presenting a stark contrast to the other film. I pondered whether these differences were a result of the actors' performances or a portrayal consistent with the original novel or series.

Nonetheless, the movie's plot remained compelling, keeping me engaged throughout. Yet, I must confess that the VFX's dark presentation made it challenging for me to fully appreciate compared to the previous film's brighter and more vivid visuals—especially now that I have a 40" Sony Android TV, which I must admit, accentuates my preference for brighter aesthetics :P. Despite this, the captivating storyline managed to leave an impression, making the viewing experience enjoyable in its own unique way.

Independence Day

Independence Day (1996)
PG-13 | 2h 25min

The aliens are coming and their goal is to invade and destroy Earth. Fighting superior technology, mankind's best weapon is the will to survive.

It's such a delight to find the Independence Day franchise available on Netflix. Even though this movie was made two decades ago, it never fails to captivate me, especially since I have a soft spot for sci-fi films. Watching it on Netflix makes the experience even more thrilling and vivid, as if I'm reliving it for the first time, although I can't quite recall when I last saw it.

With a runtime of 2 hours and 25 minutes, every second was well-spent. Will Smith's performance was undeniably enjoyable, and I couldn't help but be mesmerized by Bill Pullman's charisma and presence on screen. My fondness for Bill Pullman began when I watched him in "While You Were Sleeping," and since then, I've been enchanted by his character, his expressions, and the way he captivates with his gaze <3 <3 <3. The movie's timeless appeal and the enthralling performances of its cast make it an enduring favorite that I can watch again and again without losing any of its charm.

Independence Day: Resurgence (2016)
PG-13 | 2h

Two decades after the first Independence Day invasion, Earth is faced with a new extra-Solar threat. But will mankind's new space defenses be enough?

For sci-fi/fantasy enthusiasts like me, one movie is often not enough to satisfy our craving for captivating worlds and thrilling adventures, hehe.

I'm delighted that they decided to make a sequel even after two decades have passed since the original. It's wonderful to see Bill Pullman once again, and while he may have aged, his presence in this movie still adds a special touch. Likewise, Jeff Goldblum, who seems to have been a staple in sci-fi movies since the 80s, brings his unique charm and charisma to the screen. Their return to the franchise adds a nostalgic and heartwarming element, making the sequel a delightful continuation of the beloved story.

Back to the Future

Back to the Future (1985)
PG | 1h 56min

Marty McFly, a 17-year-old high school student, is accidentally sent thirty years into the past in a time-traveling DeLorean invented by his close friend, the eccentric scientist Doc Brown.

While searching for movies to watch on Netflix, I was thrilled to find the trilogy that had been one of my favorites back in the 80s. I couldn't help but reminisce about my childhood crush on Michael J. Fox (alongside my infatuation with Jareth the Goblin King :p).

Though the story details had faded from memory, I vividly recalled that time travel played a central role in the plot. Watching the trilogy again after decades was like experiencing it for the first time. The clarity and richness of the visuals revealed some flaws in the special effects, which I couldn't resist laughing about and sharing with my kids. I realized how amazed I was back then by the concept of time travel portrayed in the movie.

I couldn't help but notice a discrepancy in Michael J. Fox's appearance. His head and body proportions didn't seem entirely in sync. Initially, I thought it might be due to him playing a teenage character, implying that he was still developing physically :P. However, I was surprised to learn that he was 23 at the time of filming, making him six years older than his character—a testament to his youthful appearance often referred to as "baby face." Strikingly, I couldn't ignore the resemblance in body movements and facial expressions between Michael J. Fox and Elijah Wood, leading me to wonder if they were somehow related. Despite the resemblance, I discovered that they are not connected by blood.

Back to the Future Part II (1989)
PG | 1h 48m

After visiting 2015, Marty McFly must repeat his visit to 1955 to prevent disastrous changes to 1985...without interfering with his first trip.

During the time-traveling adventure in the movie, they arrived in the future—2015. It was a fun sight to behold with flying cars and hoverboards, and we couldn't help but laugh at the futuristic elements like those ahahaha! The NIKE self-lacing mag shoes, in particular, caught our attention, and I excitedly showed them to my kids. We were curious and decided to Google them, only to discover that limited editions were indeed made in 2015, each pair costing a jaw-dropping $100k. Wow!

Remember how I mentioned the resemblance between Michael J. Fox and Elijah Wood? Well, here's a surprising twist—Elijah Wood actually had a cameo role in this very movie! He played one of the kids attempting to master the old arcade game, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to the film.

Back to the Future Part III (1990)
PG | 1h 58min

Stranded in 1955, Marty McFly learns about the death of Doc Brown in 1885 and must travel back in time to save him. With no fuel readily available for the DeLorean, the two must figure how to escape the Old West before Emmett is murdered.

Since the first part, I couldn't help but notice the similarities between this movie and "Chicken Little," especially with the town setting and the main character's amusing reaction to being called a chicken.

Overall, rediscovering this beloved trilogy brought back cherished memories and offered a delightful opportunity to share the magic of the past with my children.

Ferdinand

Ferdinand (2017)
PG | 1h 48min

After Ferdinand, a bull with a big heart, is mistaken for a dangerous beast, he is captured and torn from his home. Determined to return to his family, he rallies a misfit team on the ultimate adventure.

Within the movie, there are certainly moments that provide humor, yet they may not leave a lasting impact in one's memory. However, "Ferdinand" delivers a powerful and enduring message, reminding us all not to judge others based solely on their physical appearance. The film beautifully portrays the significance of looking beyond external characteristics and embracing the true essence of a person or creature. Through the heartwarming journey of Ferdinand, we learn the importance of empathy, understanding, and acceptance, qualities that resonate deeply and continue to inspire long after the movie ends. "Ferdinand" serves as a heartening reminder of the strength that lies in compassion and the beauty of embracing diversity in all its forms.

Justice League

Justice League (2017)
PG-13 | 2h

Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman's selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes-Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash-it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.

Despite my high expectations, I must admit that I was somewhat disappointed with the lack of awesome battle scenes in this movie, considering it boasted a lineup of six powerful superheroes. While I anticipated epic showdowns, the movie seemed to fall short in delivering the action-packed moments I had hoped for. Nonetheless, the film still had its moments and enjoyable aspects, but I couldn't help but feel that it had the potential for much more thrilling battles that could have truly showcased the collective strength and abilities of these iconic superheroes.

Coco

Coco (2017)
PG | 1h 45min

Aspiring musician Miguel, confronted with his family's ancestral ban on music, enters the Land of the Dead to find his great-great-grandfather, a legendary singer.

Despite his family's baffling generations-old ban on music, Miguel dreams of becoming an accomplished musician like his idol, Ernesto de la Cruz. Desperate to prove his talent, Miguel finds himself in the stunning and colorful Land of the Dead following a mysterious chain of events. Along the way, he meets charming trickster Hector, and together, they set off on an extraordinary journey to unlock the real story behind Miguel's family history. -- Written by Disney/Pixar

As I watched this movie for the first time, it evoked memories of "The Book of Life," where the main character also journeyed through the land of the dead. The poignant moment when one soul disappeared because no living person remembered him touched my heart deeply, leading me to reflect on my own family. I couldn't help but think of my father, grandparents, and great-grandparents, who have departed from this world.

The film's portrayal of Dia De Los Muertos resonated with me, and it inspired a desire to practice and celebrate this meaningful tradition to honor and remember my loved ones who have passed away. The idea of connecting with their memories and cherishing their legacy through this beautiful celebration is a heartwarming way to keep their spirits alive in our hearts. This movie has truly left a lasting impact on me, instilling a sense of appreciation for the significance of Dia De Los Muertos and the power of remembrance.

On Stranger Tides, Dead Men Tell No Tales

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011)
PG-13 | 2h 16min

Jack Sparrow and Barbossa embark on a quest to find the elusive fountain of youth, only to discover that Blackbeard and his daughter are after it too.

As my RD for this week comes to an end, I treated myself to a POTC marathon after watching "Transformers: The Last Knight" earlier.

It's intriguing to witness a different take on mermaids in the Pirates of the Caribbean series, as I was more accustomed to the Ariel-type mermaid portrayal :P. The concept of the Fountain of Youth got me wondering – does it actually exist? And if so, could it be lost or concealed somewhere, waiting to be discovered?

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017)
PG-13 | 2h 9min

Captain Jack Sparrow searches for the trident of Poseidon while being pursued by an undead sea captain and his crew.

I was thrilled to see the other two main characters make an appearance at the end of "Dead Men Tell No Tales." It left me wondering if this signals the conclusion of the series or if there are more installments to come. I can't help but anticipate what the future holds for the Pirates of the Caribbean saga.

Transformers: The Last Knight

Transformers: The Last Knight (2017) on IMDb

Transformers: The Last Knight (2017)
PG-13 | 2h 29min

Autobots and Decepticons are at war, with humans on the sidelines. Optimus Prime is gone. The key to saving our future lies buried in the secrets of the past, in the hidden history of Transformers on Earth.

"Transformers: The Last Knight" is a visually stunning spectacle that continues the epic saga of the Autobots and Decepticons. As a dedicated sci-fi enthusiast who has followed the franchise since its inception, I found the film to be a mixed bag. While it offers thrilling action sequences and impressive special effects, the convoluted plot and excessive CGI can be overwhelming at times. The presence of Bumblebee remains a highlight, adding heart to the chaos. Overall, it's an entertaining addition to the Transformers series, but it may leave fans longing for the simplicity and charm of the earlier installments.

The Mummy

The Mummy (2017)
PG-13 | 1h 50min

An ancient Egyptian princess is awakened from her crypt beneath the desert, bringing with her malevolence grown over millennia, and terrors that defy human comprehension.

Tom Cruise being the lead, makes me feel like watching MI with a horror twist. :P

Wonder Woman

Wonder Woman (2017)
PG-13 | 2h 21min

When a pilot crashes and tells of conflict in the outside world, Diana, an Amazonian warrior in training, leaves home to fight a war, discovering her full powers and true destiny.

Amazing movie/story, it left me wanting to be Wonder Woman :P. Can't deny the chemistry between Chris and Gal, and it made me sad to see him died in the story. I wished they could have let the story ended that both the characters have spent couple of years together. But yeah, I know that Chris' being heroic have lead to Wonder Woman releasing/discovering her utmost power, so the story had to be ended that way.

Aladdin

Aladdin (1992)
G | 1h 30min

When a street urchin vies for the love of a beautiful princess, he uses a genie's magic power to make himself off as a prince in order to marry her.

Upon watching Lea Salonga and Brad Kane's singing "A Whole New World" again after 2 decades. It prompted me to watch Aladdin again :). Watching this movie brought back high-school memories, nostalgia.

Looking back then I was amazed with the animation. But comparing it now with today's animation, like Frozen, it shows how animation has improved over time.

Uncontrollaby Fond of Death Note

Uncontrollably Fond (2016)
Hamburo Aeteuthage (original title)
20 episodes

When Shin Joon-Young (Kim Woo-Bin) and No Eul (Bae Suzy) were children, they were separated and became heartbroken. As adults they meet again. Shin Joon-Young is now a top actor and singer. He is intelligent and attractive. No Eul is the PD of documentaries. She values money over justice and kisses up to those with more power than her.

Another recommended KDRAMA from my colleague America. Initially, I didn't want to watch this, because I know that this is all drama, but she insisted. I'd say that this brought me to tears, most of the episodes. I was so gloomy, that I felt I'm going to be sick and sort of lost interest in doing the usual things I do on my Rest Days. Though the lead female character shows us to be resilient, maintaining the positive attitude towards life, despite the negative/hardships/obstacles.

Death Note (2017)
1h 41min

A high school student named, Light Turner, discovers a mysterious notebook that has the power to kill anyone whose name is written within its pages and launches a secret crusade to rid the world of criminals.

Didn't like this version over the Japanese Live Action. Though I still managed to finish the movie till the end.

Suicide Squad (2016)
PG-13 | 2h 3min

A secret government agency recruits some of the most dangerous incarcerated super-villains to form a defensive task force. Their first mission: save the world from the apocalypse.

It feels good to be bad! Loved Deadshot & Harley Quinn :)

Strange Magic

Strange Magic (2015)
PG | 1h 39min

Goblins, elves, fairies and imps, and their misadventures sparked by the battle over a powerful potion.

Checked IMDB, it tells that the story was inspired by "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Haven't read that book though, but I loved the story of this movie. Find it bit funny and so true for those scenes where the message/news is being passed on from one mushroom to another, it always ends up a different message in the end :p. Song selected added a good feeling, their voices are superb for me.
