FIREFLY Movie Review
The 2023 film "Firefly" bagged the prestigious Best Picture Award, together with the Best Child Performer and Best Screenplay at the recent Metro Manila Film Festival. The story unfolded through the eyes of the adult Tonton, recalling his young self back then, who once dreamed of being brave someday as he contends with bullying and trauma from dogs, which unveiled to be rooted in his terrifying past. His mother, Elay, who became the unwavering source of his comfort during moments of fear, battled breast cancer and eventually passed away. The only remains of Tonton's mother were her ashes and a collection of papers containing the child's drawings illustrating Elay's bedtime story about the cave of fireflies. Among these papers was a map leading to the said location in Ticao Island, her hometown, which she had also shared with Tonton as a place capable of fulfilling wishes when visited.

So far the show is increasing in quality as we move through the seasons but the structural problems are most definitely still there. My biggest problem right now is that both season 2 and 3 have had really deep, emotional multi episode arcs that feel like they should end the season…but then they don’t and there are still several more episodes. The season finale then tries to shoehorn in something big at the end but it kind of robs the previous emotional arc of its impact. This problem roots in the fact that this show overuses multi-episode arcs. Like these writers have never heard of self contained stories. I am hoping that at some point in this series that horrible storytelling device goes away. We will see, at the end of season 3 Abby came back, but with a fiance. May graduates and starts working at the dispatch center and Maddy and Chim are having a baby!
Alexandrea CallaghanPublished 38 minutes ago in GeeksBook Review: "Out of the Shadows" by Walt Odets
“True self-acceptance is readily recognizable: it is largely free of needless explanation, apology, and pandering, and free of reactive, unrealistic self-confidence and compensatory false pride. Self-acceptance allows realistic self-confidence, which is significantly unhinged in adulthood from the expectations and approval of others. In the end, authentic self-acceptance—or the lack of it—is almost the entirety of what defines a life. Without true self-acceptance, there is no true self-confidence or self-realization. Without self-realization, lives feel squeezed, purposeless, and truncated, cut short long before physical death finally ends them entirely.” - Out of the Shadows by Walt Odets

This past weekend, Chicago's annual Entertainment and Comic Expo took place at the McCormick Place convention center. C2E2, a three-day celebration of all things geeky and fun, ran from April 26th to 28th, drawing fans from across the globe to indulge in their favorite fandoms from movies, TV, and anime. While C2E2 spanned three exciting days, my family and I were only able to attend for one day. It was my first time at C2E2, and it was also the first fan event of this scale for my 9-year-old. With so much to see and do, we couldn't cover everything or meet everyone on our list, but the experiences we did have were truly memorable and incredibly enjoyable.

Warning: this post contains spoilers. "Why is it that boys are always so messy?" Well, without the mess, it wouldn't be a Kingsman story, would it? Lucky for us, Matthew Vaughn makes sure that all messes come beautifully packaged - gorgeously shot, purposely saturated, and well framed. But which shot is the Shot of the Movie?

Is it possible to capture everything that's good about a movie in a single shot? Here's how I see it. I argue some shots are so good, they can stay with you longer than the movie, itself. They're powerful, plot-altering, and impressive, not always in their scale, but sometimes in their subtlety. And they change us, not only by giving us something to talk about well after the credits roll but also for their implications for what they have to offer for film and movies, themselves.
