Physical: 100

28/11/2025 reality TV | A show about a hundred athletes competing in different demanding challenges until just one stands to prove that their body is the most perfect one out of them all.

I was a fan of the first season of Physical: 100 back when it came out so when I realized there was a second season AND a spin-off dedicated to Asia I was pretty excited!

Physical: Asia, 2025.

Mostly watched this one with my mom, it was pretty fun! I was rooting for both Korea and Mongolia so it was cool (and conflicting T__T!!) to see them both in the finals! I'm glad that Korea won but Mongolia put up such a good fight despite being seen as a weak team most of the time, their teamwork was pretty interesting in a lot of the matches, and man, Adiyasuren was THE GOAT!! SHE WAS SO GOOD AND COOL IN EVERY GAME SHE WAS IN! I ended up disliking Australia a bit because of how cocky they felt sometimes, but I have to admit they were also a pretty strong team ~_~

Physical: 100 Season 2, 2024.

Having watched Physical: Asia first I was a bit biased towards Amotti and Kim Dong-Hyun (hehe). It was kinda funny to see Kim Dong-Hyun's team eliminate Amotti's team, but then watching Amotti come back from hell and then win FIRST PLACE? was so cool! He definitely seemed like a strong contestant in Physical: Asia but I wasn't expecting to see him win the whole thing!

There was this one challenge where one of the team's contestants fell from the circuit and his team got scared, while the other one celebrated, and you get to see a slow-mo reaction of both teams, the disbelief and the happiness, then the guy from the winning team also falls when he's so close to winning and both teams' reaction interchange, it was so fun to watch LMAO such a fun series.

Amotti's victory was pretty fun to watch too, but I felt bad for Hong Beom-Seok, he definitely redeemed himself after his early elimination in season 1, and even though he ended in second place, I think it must've felt so frustrating to be so close to winning T_T Seeing people get injured and eliminated for not being able to participate in their fullest potential was pretty sad too < /3

Overall both of them were a fun and entertaining watch, with my favorite being Physical: Asia! I think this show does a great job of being super entertaining; the sets feel huge and intimidating even for the smallest challenges, the challenges themselves are never boring, you can feel the punishing nature of them, the cinematography is cool, I think I just dislike how much they can use the slowmo in the editing at some points but it doesn't really ruined for me lol. I'm currently watching The Final Draft since the strongest (and my favorite) contestant from Japan's teams is also there, so I'll probably write an entry about it then! Ahhh I'm addicted to these kinds of reality tv shows and the ones that we have here in México have been so lackluster lately I'm happy to feel hyped again!

Wolf Man, 2025, dir. Leigh Whannell

06/11/2025 movie | After the death of his father Blake Lovell decides to visit his childhood farm with his family, only to end up being hunted by something in the woods.

I don't even know how I ended up watching this one, the name is kinda silly, and I don't even like werewolves really. I think it was the poster that caught my attention, and it was okay. Even though I find werewolves in general kinda lame I think the director did an interesting job here, a body horror that looks pretty cool, painful and disgusting at times, one that it's also kinda sad in the context of the movie. The way they slowly couldn't understand each other got me y_y

However, the family aspect felt kinda weak to me, not because I hate being focused on a family by itself but because I don't think it was handled in the best way, and since it's the major focus of the movie that was somewhat of an issue. From the moment the dad and the daughter did the whole "oh you're reading my mind!" thing for the second time I knew they were going to incorporate it later and by the third time I was like "OH MY GOD I GET IT!!", I also feel like the daughter's character would've been better if protrayed by a younger child? like a lot of how she acted didn't make sense for a girl her age, the mom character also felt weird, the drama between both her daughter and her husband just didn't land for me, I don't think she was bad or anything but it would've made more sense if she were the protagonist's sister or something, like being the mother adds a weight that doesn't land. Didn't hate it, the first scene was probably the hightlight, the cinematography was cool and there were some interesting concepts (the vision of the dad as a werewolf), some emotional moments got me because I'm a baby as per usual and some shots were genuinely creepy.

Abadi Nan Jaya (The Elixir), 2025, dir. Kimo Stamboel

28.10.2025 movie | A dysfunctional family running a renowned herbal medicine business which ends up triggering a zombie outbreak.

It was fun as a zombie movie, a bit frustrating at times but ended up being kinda funny to see the protagonist make the worst decisions possible and see how they would fail or work in their favor, I think the movie leaned itself onto that and it was funny. The scene at the end with the police man and his girlfriend almost made me cry because I'm a baby.

Weapons, 2025, dir. Zach Cregger.

26/10/2025 movie | All the kids from a classroom except for one dissapear one night, leaving everyone extremely troubled with the weird circumstances in which they left.

My first exposure to Weapons was from twt making a whole of noise back when the teasers came out, and I do think they were pretty cool and eerie, but twt being twt was like "OH MY GOD THIS MOVIE LOOKS SOOOOOO SCARY IS GOING TO CHANGE HORROR FOREVER!! JORDAN PELE FIRED HIS MANAGER BECAUSE HE COULDN'T GET HIM THE RIGHTS FOR THIS MOVIE THAT'S SOOO CRAZY!!", so at first I had my doubts about it. I finally watched it the other day and I'm glad it was actually enjoyable to me, I think it's definitely an improvement from Barbarian and a cool movie by itself.

Some of the decisions felt kinda weird, like the nightmare sequences in the first two chapters, like yeah I get it, but I feel like they drag the movie a bit, that one dream of the teacher in the classroom feels like it was made purely for the trailer lol.

It was cool when it did it's own thing, the Marcus chapter was the closest to being scary, Benedict Wong did a great job at being a scary and unhinged guy! I think it was also cool to see different perspectives, especially from Archer as the dad of one of the missing kids, and Alex, the only kid who didn't go missing. I also saw a few people dissapointed by the fact that a witch was behind everything but I think it was cool, maybe I'm a bit biased because I ABSOLUTELY loved Gladys and I kinda wanted her to win LMAO. I love iconic villains who steal the show, I also think there was also a nice balance between showing her enough and not too much, her death scene was pretty funny and grotesque, the moment you could hear the kids and screaming and running upstairs I was like AIN'T NO WAAAAY!

Not the scariest thing ever but I like when movies go creative and even silly, I'm excited to see Zach Cregger work in the future, I think that even if one of his movies turn out bad he has potential to make something entertaining.

Final Destination Bloodlines, 2025, Zach Lipovsky, Adam Stein

22.10.2025 movie | After being tormented by her nightmares for a while, a girl decides to find out the truth about her family, only to bring Death closer by doing so.

I'm not a hater of Final Destination but I think it's a franchise that has more misses than hits, I got curious to watch this one because I watched a clip of the initial premonition and it caught my attention enough to make me watch it, it was fun! I think it's a step into the right direction, I saw the behind-the-scenes for the garbage truck death and it looked so fun lol, definitely an upgrade from the last few movies with terrible CGI and deaths so dumb that are not even funny, like yeah, some of the fun of the movie is creativity-over-realism but sometimes (like the gymnastic death) it's just too dumb. They delivered with fun death scenes this time and you know that's obviously a bit of the focus for the fanbase lol.

And speaking of the fanbase I think the fanservice was nice, some sort of "Hey, we still got it, and we remember YOU!! 🫵 THE AUDIENCE MEMBER!!". Saying goodbye to Tony Todd was a nice touch, some people didn't like it because it made his character less "mysterious" or something but I though it was nice, what else was there to do with his character anyway?

The ending was a bit lackluster though, like yeah I didn't expected them to survive but they died in such a sudden fashion that is even kinda funny, something that's cool about past movies endings (like the one in the third movie) is that they built suspence in the fakeout and it's cool to see them slowly realize that they can't outrun death, here I feel like everything happened too fast, it didn't ruined the movie for me though, it was fun.

The Monkey, 2025, dir. Oz Perkins

20.10.2025 movie | Two twin brothers find a toy monkey left behind by their father, which seems to bring death to their family. Years later, the monkey IS BACK!!

It's been a while since I watched this one but I wanted to log it because I LOVED IT and it's one of my favorite recent movies, it caught my attention since I watched the trailer because that "The monkey that likes killing our family... It's back" line is PERFECTION (I wouldn't recommend to watch the trailer tho, it pretty much spoils most of the kills and I think it's better to watch it blind).

It did not dissapoint, at first I though it was just going to be a LOL SO RANDOM XD movie but it won me over the more I watched, the whole plot is so absurd and it leans on it perfectly, I legit laughed so many times and had a great time, the humor was absurd, the dialogue was funny, the editing did some things that made me lose my shit many times, even the deaths, often described as freak accidents by the movie, were so fucking funny because how much of an absurd and gory mess they are. I love horror comedies and this was an extremely fun watch. Theo James is also such a cutie honk honk :o)

Little Nightmares III & REANIMAL

16/10/2025 finished

I didn't hate Little Nightmares III but it was a bit of a dissapointing buggy mess, hopefully the future content does it favors but as a fan you shouldn't have to wait for a DLC's in order to get a nice, better and/or full experience. The REANIMAL demo was pretty exciting and deserved of the hype that Supermassive games sadly couldn't fulfill. I wrote my full thoughs on my blog.

No, I'm not a Human

27/09/2025 finished

I had my doubts about this one at first because some of the faces are obviously heavily inspired by other sources (like the pale visitor who's face model is clearly inspired on that one Judge Holden art), so I thought it was just another analog horror slop, but a friend gifted it to me and have to say, I was pleasantly surprised!

The characters are pretty interesing to learn about and that makes it nice to replay, it's cool to see the different outcomes, the different endings and different visitors, I had to play like 3 times to get that UGLY ASS CAT, AND I LOVED IT!! I'll probably keep playing and maybe add an update because we have more visitors coming to the game, but as for now I have to say it was a pleasant surprise, some of my favorite visitors at the moment are the coat guy, the cashier lady and the amogus guy who I haven't met yet but has immaculate drip.
