Supergirl (2026 Film)

Supergirl is a good movie, but also a bad movie at the same time. This is the first movie I had watched for the month of July 2026. It is a good movie because of it's lead actress Milly Alcock who portrayed Supergirl gave an excellent performance as a beer drinking, unhappy, and a nomad traveling girl in outer space. Her portrayal as Kara Zor-El successfully captured the immensed emotional and physical response to a distressing life. It is a good movie because of it's visually stunning cosmic location, lots of aliens and strange creatures. On the other side of the fence, it is a bad movie because of its average script and visually dark tone movie. Most of the scenes are shot so darkly that you cannot recognize the characters of the film. I found it disappointing that I had to endure watching this movie in the dark. According to Variety, the movie only grossed around $38 million in its opening weekend in the United States against a reported $170-$186 million production budget. 

Colony (2026 Film)

Colony, a South Korean zombie thriller movie is the first film I've watched this month of June 2026. The movie was directed by Yeon Sang-ho, he is also the director of the massive box office hit "Train to Busan".  I enjoyed watching the movie because of it's action, horror,  and zombie genre. The movie is about a professor named Se Jeong attended a biotech conference only to find out and witness it spiral into a tragedy when a quickly mutating virus is released. As the outbreak circulates and infected begin to transform, the authorities lockdown the whole building trapping everyone inside. A group of isolated survivors including Professor Se Jeong were trapped inside and struggles to confront the infected. 

Deep Water

I watched another survival-thriller movie yesterday and found it worth watching. The movie Deep Water stars Aaron Eckhart, Ben Kingsley, and Angus Sampson. It is directed by Renny Harlin. The plot of the movie is about a diverse group of passengers flying from Los Angeles to Shanghai whose airplane goes down in an open ocean with an aggresive sharks circling the area. The survivors need to work together to escape the sinking aircraft and overcome the sharks drawn to the wreckage. 

Chowking Siomai Chao Fan

After watching a movie yesterday, I decided to have my lunch at Chowking Robinsons Imus. I ordered my favorite Siomai Chao Fan with 4 pieces of Fried Pork Siomai dumplings with spicy flavor, a Chinese style fried rice cooked with egg, vegetables, and soy-based seasoning. For drinks, I ordered a medium size pineapple juice and my favorite buchi (3 pieces). Siomai Chao Fan is a popular Filipino Chinese comfort meal. It is one of the top seller in fast-food chains like Chowking Philippines.

The Devil Wears Prada 2

Entertaining and nice movie. I watched yesterday The Devil Wears Prada 2. The cast including Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci reprises their role with the support of Lucy Liu, Kenneth Branagh, and Justin Theroux. Please watch the movie. You will enjoy it.

Project Hail Mary

If you are a fan of space adventure or odyssey and sci-fi movies, you may consider watching Project Hail Mary starring Ryan Gosling who also produced the movie. It is not surprising Project Hail Mary which has grossed $510 million worldwide (domestic and international) as of April 12, 2026 is a box office hit. I watched the movie yesterday (April 13) and found it visually stunning space adventure with a heartwarming tale of friendship between a space traveler working with an alien to save humanity. There are some scenes of the film that I cried because of the emotional core of the movie. I will not detail it here so you may find it by yourself if you watch it. Overall, Project Hail Mary is one of the best space adventure film I had watched in recent years.
