Marvel's Doctor Strange
While we are having some Marvel hangovers after last summer's Civil War and while we're still waiting for more Marvel films coming next year, including a new Thor film with Hulk in it, another Marvel superhero steps into the big screen and this one could be your newest favorite because...it's got a good looking guy in an accent playing the role of a powerful sorcerer who will be humanity's last hope against evildoers.
Marvel's Doctor Strange centers on a brilliant but arrogant neurosurgeon named Stephen Strange, played by Sherlock's Benedict Cumberbatch, whose career is destroyed after a fatal accident. Following his accident, he travels to Nepal until he encounters The Ancient One, played by Tilda Swinton, the Sorcerer Supreme of the Earth who will lead him to an extraordinary life of becoming a powerful sorcerer who can save the world against evil zealots and other-dimensional beings as he engulfs on a magical war to decide the fate of the world.

The first half of the movie is pretty much regular like all superhero flicks discovering their origins but by the time this movie progresses, it's becoming as mind blowing as a disaster flick because of the scenes where everything is starting to crumble. Sure is traumatic even by sci-fi standards and by the fact that they're computer-generated, but because this is Benedict Cumberbatch we're talking about, his role of being a superhero is very unheard of by Marvel standards. We were getting accustomed by British celebs playing villains, even in Marvel movies, but for a British guy playing the hero in this film, that's very unique and as long as there's anyone getting hooked on him more than focusing on how the story unfolds.
Getting your eyes glued to this latest Marvel flick and Doctor Strange really is an attention-grabbing flick that doesn't care about its flaws as long as fans of Benedict Cumberbatch can see how his superhero role works in the same way as being a detective in a TV show and this movie, which has bits that can blow their heads off, is a clear example why we want to go to the movies.
My rating: 3.9 out of 5.
Trolls (2016 film)
If you're under 20, you have a very fond memory of collecting those hairy-looking cute dolls they called Trolls. Unique to their hair-raising looks, the Trolls became one of the most iconic toys ever collected for the 90's kids like you and I. Now, the remnants of our childhood memories has finally landed on the big screen from the people that brought you the Shrek films.
Featuring the voices of Justin Timberlake, Anna Kendrick, Zooey Deschanel, among many others, Dreamworks' Trolls is an animated movie fit enough for the 90's kids to see their once favorite childhood toys springing into action in the big screen, although this is mainly a family movie that your kids ever wanted to see one for the weekends.

Featuring the voices of Justin Timberlake, Anna Kendrick, Zooey Deschanel, among many others, Dreamworks' Trolls is an animated movie fit enough for the 90's kids to see their once favorite childhood toys springing into action in the big screen, although this is mainly a family movie that your kids ever wanted to see one for the weekends.
This movie is about a colorful, happy, bunch of creatures called the Trolls living in a magical tree until the larger creatures, called the Bergens, wanted those lovable creatures to be...(gulp)...their lunch. It's up to the Princess named Poppy and the only unhappy troll, Branch, to save the day by saving their friends before their becoming Bergen food.
If your kids ever managed to see this film as a whole family, chances are this will be a smorgasbord of awkward storyline that doesn't feel like an adventure movie at all as well as the awkward feeling that the colorful world of Trolls will make you feel "high" from the start of the film to the end. Yes, you may consider yawning while your kids are busy watching the film but if anyone around you called this film "cute", you'd better start asking because this film slightly packs a lot of cuteness from start to finish and they really don't care if you call it boring because, like I said it, it's "cute" from start to finish.
On the upside is, despite its lack of feel in the story, this film does pack some good vibes on it thanks to its unforgettable characters and their unforgettable moments in this film. This film is not just for family viewing, it can be a good date night movie if you tried. Trolls may not be an adventurous film when it comes to its storyline, but for a fun factor and good vibes loaded on it, it sure is a good film that you never know until you tried.

Forza Horizon 3: A new Asian treasure
As I thought that my treasure hunting days are well and truly over ever since I found all fifteen barn finds scattered throughout Down Under, looks like the latest update gave us a brand new barn find rumor, something they've never done that throughout the history of Forza Horizon.
So, what's inside the barn? Hold on, what's this?!
This is,,,a KPGC110 Skyline 2000GT-R. This kind of classic Skyline was called by speedo boys as the "Kenmeri" Skyline because of the advertising that has the couple named Ken and Mary on it. But this is the GT-R version. It was launched in 1972 following the original was launched. The Kenmeri Skyline GT-R was the first Japanese car to have disc brakes front and rear. Although popular, it was short-lived with 197 units made after stricter exhaust regulations were introduced. Wow, 197 units made, that made the Kenmeri Skyline 2000GT-R one of the rarest JDM cars in history and a good one can set them a massively priced 176,000 US Dollars. Now that's what I call a supercar money in an ultra-rare Asian treasure your parents surely remembered.
Okay, let's try out this Asian treasure on the road because my schedule's just cleared so I can try out this legendary machine.
Nothing like going back to our grannies' timeline to see how fast the Kenmeri Skyline 2000GT-R is and it would be a shame to miss out this legendary Asian treasure if you haven't heard about the latest FH3 that featured a brand new barn find never done in the Horizon series.
The latest barn find rumor is hidden somewhere at Byron Bay, what else but the place where your Horizon adventure began but the real question is, what's inside the barn? Looks like the treasure hunt starts now...
So, what's inside the barn? Hold on, what's this?!

Forza Horizon 3: Assignment NSX
The Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Horizon 3 gave us one of the most sensational cars of 2016 and by no means one of the most hotly anticipated comebacks in the history of automotive industry. Ladies and gents, say hello to the brand new NSX from Acura. Precision Crafted Performance.
Before getting too excited about taking behind the wheel of the brand new NSX, let's take a quick briefing about what's it all about this reborn sportscar that rose from the ashes of its decade-long absence. It was the year 2012 when Honda/Acura announced that they will revive the NSX sportscar since its 2005 discontinuation and with their concept version first shown at the 2012 North American International Auto Show, anticipation is sensing towards the rebirth of the NSX, which occurred about three years later at the same venue.
Now as a hybrid sportscar, NSX is powered by an all-new 3.5L V6 Turbo engine coupled with three electric motors and a Li-ion battery, generating an overall power output of 581PS and mated to a 9-speed DCT built exclusively for the NSX. Performance aside, the new NSX features a Sport Hybrid SH-AWD drivetrain with instant acceleration and direct yaw control as well as multi-material body construction to make it lighter and more rigid unlike any other. Aerodynamics aside, the new NSX's total airflow management allows this car to be more stable at high speeds and it has the lowest center of gravity.
Although wary at first the moment I became part of the NSX experience in Forza Horizon 3, I am very more than happy to get my first dibs on the American-made, Japanese-engineered, hybrid sportscar that serves as the new gold standard in performance while trying to pick a fight against the Nissan GT-R. For a hybrid car of that caliber, with the Sport Hybrid SH-AWD locked and loaded for action, the new NSX feels so rewarding at so many levels and the more you're driving this car, the more you'll start to realize that this could be your favorite car in FH3 by a long mile. Trust me, you can get really hooked to this sportscar by the moment you set foot on this one.
Now that the all-new NSX has arrived on Australian roads for us to see how it works, work time has begun for me as the filming for this car has commenced in a metropolitan area they called Surfers Paradise, but first, it's off to the make-up room it goes for the new NSX.
Didn't see that thing coming, did you? I've been planning for this moment to come as I came up with a special NSX featuring the same color theme as Dia Kurosawa, a character who appears at the Love Live! Sunshine!! TV series. Dia's a student body president of the Uranohoshi Girls High and a very strict girl who...um...let me look back at the dossier... Aha! There it is. She's prideful and perfectionistic in her ways and she can't abide it when things are done wrong. She has a little sister named Ruby.
Anyway, let's move on to my new work of art because this specially prepped NSX which is now themed after Dia is what you can call the "five-letter-curse-word-that-starts-with-b in the red dress." Sorry, can't do expletive dialogue in her but you get the idea because of (sigh) women. The trouble with women.
With everything set, I'm getting my clapper ready and my butt on the director's chair to witness this red rogue in action. However, since this is Dia I'm talking about, I gave a very special privilege for her. NOTE: I used a temporary perk that allows my car to start in 1st place for four races. So, with a special privilege set, the stage is set and the spotlight is on her. Lights, motor, action!
So, the new NSX, what can I say? Well, even though this is a hybrid supercar that is nowhere near as powerful as the P1 and the LaFerrari, its performance and dynamics are top-notch and I believe this is starting to behave like a Nissan GT-R on so many levels, although both may result in a possible dead heat in a cold light of day as the opportunity rises. With Europe's finest sportscars got into its crosshairs, the new NSX is a definite threat to the opposition and for speedo boys everywhere, this calls for a celebration that we can have our dibs on the rebirth of the iconic legend that was made two and a half decades in the making.
It truly is an ORIGINAL that MUST BE DONE. Now, if you excuse me, I need to take a break after all the fun I had in the new NSX.
