Avatar: The Last Airbender series review

As a viewer of the cartoon version of Avatar, I really enjoy this live action series made by Netflix. It doesn't deviate too far from the card version and most importantly the cast selection is close to perfect, especially Gordon Cormier as Aang, a cheerful, naive and optimistic child.

If there are shortcomings, perhaps the action in some fights is still not exciting enough, it could have been more optimal, but perhaps it was adapted to the target audience so that it was made safe for all viewers.

Really can't wait for season two of the Avatar: The Last Airbender series, hopefully we can reach the final fight which will feature the epic battle between Aang and Fire Lord Ozai.

Highly recommended, you can watch it with your family while feeling nostalgic, enjoy watching.

When Park Shin-Hye was in 6th grade at Hak-Kang Elementary School in Gwangju, she was advised to audition for pop singer Lee Seung-Hwan's music company "Dream Factory" by her English teacher at a private institute. Consequently, Park Shin-Hye went to Seoul and auditioned for Dream Factory. Through her relationship with Dream Factory, Park Shin-Hye began training as an actress, singer, and playing the guitar & keyboard. Her family also relocated to Seoul in 2001.

In 2003 Park Shin-Hye debuted as the main female character in the music video "Ggot" (Flower) by singer Lee Seung-Hwan. In the same year she also successfully auditioned for a role in the SBS drama series "Stairway to Heaven". Park Shin-Hye was picked among 250 contestants.

"Stairway to Heaven" was highly successful and regularly received ratings in excess of 40%. Park Shin-Hye's entrance to the entertainment industry was now opened.

The series was the most searched for title from SBS on Korean portals in 2009 and the four main actors were always in the top ten name searches for 2009. Park Shin-Hye has stated in interviews that her character in "You're Beautiful" reflected her real life personality by about 80%.

Mickey Mouse horror films announced as Disney copyright expires

Nesianetwork.id - Mickey's Mouse Trap will feature a masked killer dressed as Mickey stalking a group of young friends through an amusement arcade, while another untitled horror-comedy sees a sadistic mouse tormenting unsuspecting ferry passengers.

Oh boy! Barely 24 hours after Disney's initial copyright on Mickey Mouse expired, two new indie horror films starring the beloved character have been announced.

Oh boy! Barely 24 hours after Disney's initial copyright on Mickey Mouse expired, two new indie horror films starring the beloved character have been announced.

Steamboat Willie, the first Disney movie to feature Mickey, entered the public domain under US law on Monday, 95 years on from its initial release.

That means anyone is now free to copy, share, reuse and adapt the primitive, early versions of the characters that appear within the film, including Mickey and his girlfriend Minnie.

Despite warnings from Disney that it would seek to safeguard its most iconic character, opportunistic filmmakers had been expected to quickly announce their own unofficial remakes and adaptations – and they did not disappoint.

Mickey's Mouse Trap will feature a masked killer dressed as Mickey stalking a group of young friends through an amusement arcade, while another untitled horror-comedy sees a sadistic mouse tormenting unsuspecting ferry passengers.

"We just wanted to have fun with it all," said Mickey's Mouse Trap director Jamie Bailey, in a trailer posted on YouTube.

"I mean it's Steamboat Willie's Mickey Mouse murdering people. It's ridiculous. We ran with it and had fun doing it and I think it shows."

The low-budget horror-comedy is expected to launch in March.

Meanwhile filmmaker Steven LaMorte – known for The Mean One, a 2022 slasher romp inspired by The Grinch – is working on his own "twisted take" on Mickey.

"Steamboat Willie has brought joy to generations, but beneath that cheerful exterior lies a potential for pure, unhinged terror," he said in a press release.

Production on the untitled film is due to begin this spring.

Both projects are reminiscent of Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood And Honey, a micro-budget slasher film that drew headlines last year after the copyright on the first AA Milne books expired.

Analysts say Disney will be watching closely, and is likely to send in the lawyers if anyone oversteps.

Only the earliest, black-and-white version of Mickey is in the public domain – not the colourful character from later Disney films like Fantasia.

And trademark protections mean that any film or product that could mislead consumers into thinking it was made by Disney could be liable.

"We will, of course, continue to protect our rights in the more modern versions of Mickey Mouse and other works that remain subject to copyright, and we will work to safeguard against consumer confusion caused by unauthorised uses of Mickey and our other iconic characters," said a Disney statement.

But LaMorte told Variety he was not concerned.

"We are doing our due diligence to make sure there's no question or confusion of what we're up to," he said.

"This is our version of a public domain character."

Rest in Peace Lee Sun-kyun's

Nesianetwork    Desember 27, 2023    Comment   

 

Nesianetwork.id - (Seoul = News 1) Reporter Seung-ah Go = The sudden death of actor Lee Sun-kyun left the entertainment industry and fans at home and abroad in great shock.

According to the police and fire department on the 27th, Lee Seon-gyun was found collapsed in a vehicle on a street in Seongbuk-gu, Seoul this morning. At the time of discovery, Seon-gyun Lee was unconscious, and the fire department that responded to the scene after receiving a request from the police for a joint response estimated that Seon-gyun Lee had died around 10:30 a.m. that day. The police are investigating the circumstances, keeping in mind the possibility of an attempt to take extreme action.

Lee Seon-kyun's funeral will be held in Room 1 of the funeral hall at Seoul National University Hospital this afternoon. His wife, actress Jeon Hye-jin, will be staying at her funeral. The burial will be held in Seonyeong, Buan-gun, Jeollabuk-do, and the funeral will be held on the 29th.

On this day, Lee Sun-kyun's agency, Hodu & U Entertainment, said, "We are sorry to bring you the unfortunate news. Actor Lee Sun-kyun passed away on December 27th. There is no way to contain our sorrow and devastated feelings."

He continued, “We respectfully ask that you refrain from spreading false facts based on speculation or speculation and malicious reports based on them so that the deceased’s final journey will not be unfair.” He added, "The funeral will be held quietly with the bereaved family and colleagues in attendance, and we express our deepest condolences as the deceased is on his final journey." Seon-gyun Lee has been under police investigation since last October on charges of taking marijuana and ketamine at the residence of Mr. A, the manager of an entertainment establishment in Seoul. The police summoned and interrogated Lee Seon-gyun three times: on October 28th, November 4th, and the 23rd of this month. The results of the simple reagent test found in Seon-gyun Lee's urine and the thorough examination of his body received from the National Forensic Service on the 3rd, a day before the second summons and investigation, were negative. In the second investigation, Seon-gyun Lee denied the intention of the crime, stating that he was deceived by Mr. A and took the drug without knowing that it was a drug. In addition, Lee Seon-gyun sued Mr. A and two other people for blackmail, claiming that they extorted 350 million won by threatening to 'expose the fact of drug use.'

In response to the news of Lee Sun-kyun's sudden death, the entertainment industry is canceling official schedules one after another. The movie 'Noryang: Sea of ​​Death' was scheduled to conduct an interview with main actor Kim Seong-gyu starting this afternoon, but canceled it. The live broadcast schedule for the online press conference for tvN's new Monday-Tuesday drama 'Marry My Husband' is scheduled to be recorded and broadcast on January 1, 2024. The stage greeting event for the movie ‘Spring in Seoul’ was also canceled.

Colleagues in the entertainment industry are conveying their condolences through social networking services (SNS). Soo-hyeon said, “What a great talent the Korean entertainment industry has lost. I send my prayers to his family and close friends. I hope he rests in peace.”

Kim Song said, "The crowd mentality is the worst. There is no one who doesn't get dusted by shaking it off. I am by no means supporting the crime. Since I admitted it, I should have paid the penalty and stayed alive even if I was covered in blood. I should have lived at least for my family. I am heartbroken and mournful." We commemorated him by posting a photo with the words . In addition, 'Pachinko' writer Lee Min-jin, Prime, Lee Soo, Jang Seong-gyu, Jeong Ga-eun, Yoo Jae-hwan, Cool Yuri, Kim Ea-na, and Lee Ji-hoon also expressed their condolences.

Major foreign media reported the news of Lee Sun-kyun's death, citing his appearance in the movie 'Parasite', which won four Academy Awards. AFP reported that "the actor, who was once famous for his wholesome image, was excluded from TV and commercial projects after the (drug) scandal." The British BBC explained, "Local media reported that Lee Sun-kyun, well-known for his role in 'Parasite,' was found dead. He gained international fame by playing the role of Park Dong-ik, the father of the wealthy Park family, in 'Parasite.'"

Fans and netizens at home and abroad were shocked by Lee Sun-gyun's sudden death. Netizens said, “Is this really true?” “This is not true.” “It’s shocking.” “No one will ever know this.” “I pray that the deceased rest in peace.” “I feel sorry for his wife, Jeon Hye-jin.” “Why are you trying to solve the problem through death?” “Please, if not.” “I hope so,” “I liked Lee Seon-kyun’s work,” “You came up from the bottom, but you brought it down on your own,” “I enjoyed watching ‘My Mister,’” and “I was worried about how I would handle the heavy burden, but it’s sad and I have nothing to say.” They showed hard-to-believe reactions.

Meanwhile, Lee Sun-gyun was born in 1975 and debuted in 1999 through the music video for Bijou's 'It's Okay'. Afterwards, he made his face known in earnest through the MBC sitcom 'Lovers', and built up his filmography with the one-act dramas 'Doctor Love', 'Translucent', 'Love', and 'A Street Woman's Love'. After making his mark with the 2007 drama 'The White Tower', he established himself as a popular actor with hit works such as 'The 1st Shop of Coffee Prince', 'Pasta', and 'Golden Time'. Since then, in addition to 'My Mister', 'Prosecutor's War', and 'Doctor Brain', he has been active by appearing in 'The Law' earlier this year.

In addition, Lee Sun-kyun also played an active part on the big screen through films such as 'Paju', 'Ok-hee's Movie', 'A Little Romance', 'Hwacha', 'All About My Wife', and 'Going to the End'. In 2019, he gained global popularity by appearing in director Bong Joon-ho's movie 'Parasite'. In May of this year, he attracted attention at the Cannes Film Festival with the invited films 'Escape: Project Silence' and 'Sleep'. The movies 'Escape: Project Silence' and 'Land of Happiness', which were scheduled to be released, will remain as posthumous works.

Nesianetwork.id - Todat lets talk about Reference Arthelais Kora Scargiver the Character from Rebel Moon Movie by Zack Snyder.

About Arthelais

Arthelais in Italian known as Sant' Artellaide (544–560) is venerated as a Christian saint. She is one of the patron saints of Benevento, with Barbatus of Benevento and Bartholomew being the others. Her feast day is 3 March.

Narrative About Arthelais

An untrustworthy legend has Arthelais as a native of Constantinople, the daughter of an imperial proconsul named Lucius and his wife Anthusa. She is said to have been pursued by Justinian, who desired her; however, Arthelais had taken a vow of chastity. At her own request, she was sent with three servants to her uncle Narses in Italy, but was kidnapped by robbers along the way. Her servants had recourse to the Church of Saint Eulalia, where they prayed for their mistress' safe return, and gave alms to the poor from their expense money.

The robbers intended to sell their captive for immoral purposes, but an angel slew the goaler and freed her. The devil seized the rest of the robbers. Arthelais soon met her servants, and they proceeded to Siponto. From there she went to the Sanctuary of Monte Sant'Angelo to make an offering in thanksgiving. Her uncle Narses went to meet her and brought her back to Benevento.

Here she settled and lived in prayer and piety exercises, working many miracles. Stricken by fever, she was transported to the church of San Luca, where she died at the age of seventeen. Her relics were later transferred to the Cattedrale metropolitana di Santa Maria de Episcopio.

The story is simple, bombing the side of a mountain so that the lava leaks out before the next eruption which could trigger a more powerful earthquake and tusnami. The CGI displayed is very neat, it's natural that this film is made by Dexter Studios, which has successfully presented the epic story Along With The Gods.

The ending of the story reminds me of the title of the film that I mentioned at the beginning, namely Armageddon, the mission is to detonate a bomb so that the earth is safe. Unfortunately it has to be triggered manually for various reasons, and yes, you have to let one of the main characters sacrifice themselves so that the others are safe.

Talking about Disaster Movies, Indonesia actually also has a film called Bangkit which was released in 2016 and stars Vino G Bastian, telling the story of flash floods that hit Jakarta. Even though the CGI side is still far behind, at least we already have local films in the disaster genre.

Overall it is interesting to watch, for those who missed the quiet cinema screening period, the film Ashfall can be enjoyed on Google Play Movies, you can rent it online. Score 7.5/10, happy watching.

Nesianetwork    Desember 25, 2023    Comment   

Nesianetwork.id - Bloodshot, Vin Diesel's film about a killing machine, was released in Indonesian cinemas on March 11 2020. Bloodshot is a vilian character from the comics. Long ago, Marine Ray Garrison (Vin Diesel) and his wife were murder victims.

But Ray was later resurrected by a secret team of scientists. His bodily abilities are enhanced with nanotechnology that turns him into a superhuman, biotech killing machine. When Ray first trains with his fellow super soldiers, he can't remember anything from his previous life.

But as time passed, the memories came back. One of the memories that comes is the killer and his wife. Finally Ray decided to leave the organization and discovered many conspiracies that he didn't know about before.

Cast of Blood Shot Movie

Apart from Vin Diesel, other players joining include Eiza Gonzalez, Sam Heughan, Toby Kebbell, Guy Pearce, Talulah Riley, Lamorne Morris, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson, Siddharth Dhananjay, Alex Hernandez, Maarten Römer, Tamer Burjaq, and Ryan Kruger. Bloodshot is directed by director Dave Wilson and screenwriters Jeff Wadlow, Eric Heisserer, Jeff Wadlow, Kevin VanHook, Bob Layton, and Don Perlin. This film is under the auspices of the Columbia Pictures production studio.

Reviews of Blood Shot Movie

In terms of story, it's actually good considering that this film is an adaptation of a popular comic about a villain with many fans who have been waiting for a long time for the live action version.

The CGI and action are no less interesting, the details of the nano bots, the fist fights and shooting scenes are enjoyable to enjoy.

If there is a weakness in this film, it is Vin Diesel's acting which I can't differentiate when playing the character Dominic Toretto in the Fast Furious Franchise, it seems like he needs to try an extreme different role in order to get out of Toretto's impression in all his films, for example try a comedy genre film.

That's our first film review, this time campusnesia friends, do you have a different opinion? Don't forget to share in the comments column. See you.

Kim Sung Ryong (Namgoong Min) has a bit of a troubled past. He used to work with gangsters but was able to get away and get a job in the accounting department of a company. With ill intentions at first, he seems to butt heads with Seo Yul (Lee Junho), a prosecutor who becomes the director of finance.

This series excels in blending humor with a compelling storyline. It stands out for its unique take on the corporate world, offering a satirical and refreshing perspective on office politics. The dynamic characters, especially the protagonist Kim Sung Ryong, contribute to the drama’s success, making it a delightful watch with its clever writing and entertaining plot twists.

Upon his bold return, he is determined to uncover the traitor within the organization who attempted to eliminate his entire team.

In order to prepare for his role, Namgoong Min trained for months to get into the best shape of his life, spending most of his days at the gym and eating a high protein diet. His hard work definitely paid off as he was able to become his character completely, also showing the baggage and torment that his character endured in the past. Namgoong Min’s excellent performance earned him the Daesang (Grand Prize) at the 2021 MBC Drama Awards.

3. Stove League

Kong Shim (Minah) and Ahn Dan Tae (Namgoong Min) meet when Ahn Dan Tae comes to see the apartment Kong Shim is giving up for rent. Kong Shim is broke and needs the money, so she moves back in with her parents, who live in the same building. This obviously calls for a lot of random run-ins with each other at the convenience store, the park, and the street. The two characters develop a love/hate relationship with each other.

Namgoong Min as Ahn Dan Tae is hysterically amazing. His ability to seamlessly switch between comedy and emotional depth adds layers to the character, making him both endearing and relatable.

Seeing each case and how the underdogs overcome seemingly impossible obstacles with the help of Cheon Ji Hoon is inspiring. Viewers will love the hopeful tone of the series and positive messaging that people can overcome evil even if they are poor and seemingly have no one on their side.

6. Doctor Prisoner

“Doctor Prisoner” is a medical suspense drama featuring Namgoong Min as Nah Yi Jae, a brilliant and compassionate doctor forced to leave his prestigious position at a large hospital due to an unfortunate incident. Undeterred, he takes on a new role as the medical director in a prison. The series unfolds as Nah Yi Jae navigates his new life, utilizing his exceptional skills and caring nature to prioritize the well-being of the inmates in the prison medical department.

With the talk of there being a second season, fans are already anticipating the epic return of Nah Yi Jae.

Dong Joo, hiding a childhood hearing loss, and Woo Ri discover their unexpected connection through Ma Roo, now known as Jang Joon Ha, sparking a journey of reconciliation and untangling family secrets.

Teaming up with detective Choi Moo Gak (Park Yoo Chun), who lost his sense of taste and smell after his sister’s murder, they work together to solve a series of mysterious killings. The drama combines romance, comedy, and crime as the duo unravels the truth behind the murders.

Although Namgoong Min is known for his infectious smile, in this particular role he was very deceptive and gave us the chills. He had a dark side that viewers were unaware of at first glance, but as his character developed, you realize that he is a villain. The complexities of his character are so well showcased, and this was just one of the many roles that solidified Namgoong Min’s stellar skills as an actor.

Facing a challenging legal system, Jin Woo studies law to become an attorney, determined to prove his father’s innocence. As he battles against powerful adversaries, the drama unfolds with intense courtroom scenes, emotional struggles, and a quest for justice.

Namgoong Min’s compelling portrayal contributes to the overall success of “Remember,” a legal thriller that explores themes of justice and revenge, making it a gripping and emotionally charged drama for audiences. His ability to tap into his villainous side struck a chord with viewers as people were genuinely scared of his character. This is only a testament to how versatile his acting skills really are!

10. My Dearest

“My Dearest” is a historical romance drama featuring star-crossed lovers whose destinies take a twist during the Qing invasion of Joseon. Namgoong Min takes on the role of Lee Jang Hyun, a man staunchly against marriage, while Ahn Eun Jin portrays Yoo Gil Chae, a noblewoman with dreams of finding love despite experiencing two failed marriages. The series explores their love story against the backdrop of political turmoil and personal struggles during a challenging period in Joseon history.

Namgoong Min as Lee Jang Hyun is one for the books. His ability to portray such emotional depth, love, and passion for the woman he loves is a performance that viewers will have engrained in their memory for a long time. Namgoong Min had mentioned that this was the most he has ever put into a role, and it shows with his flawless performance.

Honest Review Rebel Moon New Movie From Zack Snyder is Pretty Good

Honest Review Rebel Moon New Movie From Zack Snyder is Pretty Good

Nesianetwork    Desember 22, 2023    Comment   

 

Nesianeetwork.id - After directing the las movies Army of the Dead, Zack Snyder that know as director of fenomenas movies like 300, Watchman, Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Justice League now in 2023 he is comeback with new movies Rebel Moon that you can stream at Netflix start from 22 December 2023.

Rebel Moon (also known as Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire) is a 2023 American epic space opera film directed by Zack Snyder from a screenplay he co-wrote with Kurt Johnstad and Shay Hatten, based on a story Snyder conceived.

The film features an ensemble cast that includes Sofia Boutella, Djimon Hounsou, Ed Skrein, Michiel Huisman, Doona Bae, Ray Fisher, Charlie Hunnam, and Anthony Hopkins. The film is set in a fictional galaxy ruled by the Motherworld, in which its military, the Imperium, threatens a farming colony on the moon Veldt, and Kora, a former Imperium soldier, ventures on a quest to recruit warriors from across the galaxy to make a stand against the Imperium before they return to Veldt.

Rebel Moon had a limited theatrical release in the United States on December 15, 2023, and was released by Netflix on December 21, 2023. The film received generally negative reviews from critics.

An extended cut is set for release in early 2024, while a direct sequel, Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver, is scheduled for release on April 19, 2024.

The Plot

In a distant galaxy, the Motherworld is a militaristic empire fueled by centuries of conquest and war. The current king welcomes a daughter, Princess Issa, who possesses a rare gift of healing and resurrection. This is taken as a sign of redemption for the Motherworld, as the royal family has grown weary of conflict and hopes that Issa will unify the empire not through force but through compassion. Instead, Issa and her parents are publicly assassinated during her coronation, and Balisarius, a prominent senator, declares himself Regent and renews the empire's conquests with the support of Admiral Atticus Noble, a sadistic military leader.

On the independent planet of Veldt, Noble and his men arrive and insist that Father Sindri, a local village chieftain, sell them grain to replenish their food stocks as they hunt for a band of rebels known as Clan Bloodaxe. An ambitious farmer named Gunnar disagrees with Sindri's refusal to deal with Noble; the Admiral then beats Sindri to death and orders Gunnar to prepare all of the village's grain before he returns. One of the villagers, Kora, packs her things to leave, but when she sees Imperium soldiers attempting to rape a young woman, she confronts and kills them. Kora reveals to the villagers that she is a former member of the Imperium, the Motherworld's finest troops.

Kora and Gunnar depart for Providence, a nearby port town, to assemble a band of warriors and defend Veldt against Noble's fleet. They first recruit Kai, a smuggler and criminal. He takes them to two additional warriors, a tamer of beasts known as Tarak and a talented cyborg swordswoman, Nemesis. Kora ventures to a remote moon to recruit Titus, a disgraced Imperium commander reduced to prize fighting. Gunnar learns from Kora that she was raised by Balisarius after her world fell to the Imperium, and that she feels a sense of guilt for Issa's death as she once served as the princess's bodyguard.

Knowing that they cannot defend against Noble's ship, the King's Gaze, the warriors use Gunnar's previous dealings with Clan Bloodaxe to meet their leaders, siblings Darrian and Devra, and request the use of their starfighters. Darrian and half the clan agree to help, but Devra, who considers such a fight hopeless and a waste of their resources, retreats with the other half to safety.

Under the pretense of offloading the last of his illicit goods to start a new life, Kai takes the group to a trading post, but captures them as Noble's ship arrives, revealing he had always intended to betray them for the bounties on their heads. Noble reveals Kora's true name as Arthelais. Gunnar kills Kai and frees the group, and Darrian and many of his troops are killed. Kora fights Noble, throwing him off the post's high platform to his apparent death, and the surviving warriors make their way back to Veldt together.

Heavily injured but alive, Noble is recovered by Motherworld forces and revived after having a psychic conversation with Balisarius, who demands that Noble end the insurgency against him and bring Kora to him alive so he can execute her himself.
