Supernatural Re-Watch | Post #5: Phantom Traveler 1x04

Phantom Traveler 1x04

THIS EPISODE IS HILARIOUS! I really do like the intros at the beginning of the series. With the line of "the family business".

We immediately see an actress I recognize from something else. Looked her up and I see that she will be coming out on the new show "Marvel's The Punisher". ALL THESE ACTORS ARE CONNECTED.

Nice shot of Dean in the bed being jumpy. We then jump right to the case. We get to the location and we jump to the awesome one liners.

WE GET THE BOYS IN A SUIT FOR THE FIRST TIME!!! "Looks like the Blue Brothers". But they do look good.


This episode reminds me of Final Destination. Everyone that was on that plane has to die. But instead of this one being death it's a demon who is trying to kill all the people who were on that plain. It's so funny how Dean tries everything in his power to stop going on the plane. 

We find out his fear of flying which is hilarious. He gets calm by humming Metallica. 

We also get the screaming Dean which is hilarious. We also get some more clues about Jessica which shakes up Sam. 

We also end with more information about their dad leaving their information if they need help. 


Overall a great episode to watch with little bread crumbs to the mystery behind their dads disappearances .

Wow... This movie. Really emotional journey. Really makes you think about the food you eat and where it come from. Also about the relationship between your pets and how deep it goes.

This movie was just weird. It felt all over the place with not really a good story line. I wish there was something more that would have connected the movie more. But it really didn't make much sense. You really have to put attention to it. I did like the special affects and the creature designs. But other than that. I wasn't really drawn to the movie.

This was the Spider-Man movie that I have always wanted. Everything I had expected from a film and more. This is what Spider-Man should have been from the beginning. I appreciate Sam Raimi's films and enjoyed them. I like what they did to the superhero genre. But this movie just blew every single one away.

Fun movie to watch if you are into the 80s set in today's time. Great independent film. Something a little different. Feel of Jumanji with horror.

Supernatural Re-Watch | Post #4: Dead in the Water 1x03



 Dead in the Water 1x03

We start the episode with the typical cabin in the woods by a lakes. One thing I do have to say about the show is I love the cinematography. It fits so well to what the show is. I loved that about it. The earlier seasons specially.

We have the into of the boys with this beautiful Dean smile.

I love this gif of him. Got to love Jensen. It makes me laugh so much and once again the soundtrack is amazing. Will continue saying it through out the show.

HAHAHA. "I am agent Ford. This is agent Hamill." STAR WARS REFERENCE. Maybe I should keep track of all the pop culture references.

FRED!!!

This show just makes me laugh so much with their one liners. This episode really hits home with the Dean. Really feel how important family is. Another thing about this show is the lighting. Can't stop looking at how everything is well put together.

We also find out that Dean saw when his mom was killed, another emotional moment for the brothers. One thing that I can't take serious is when the boys are in the car and we see the scenery in the window. (I see you blue screen. LOL) The special effects, got to love them. Also, how many clueless cops, cops with a secrets do we get in this show.

"Who are you and what have you done with my brother?" another line that I laughed out loud.

I like the fact that I am re-watching these episodes and I am re-discovering all these actors/actresses that came out.

 
Jensen talks about this scene all the time. How that scene was memorable for him because he was holding this boy in his arms. How he was carrying a life. Remember that from his first interviews. 

And we end it with an awesome scene. SO CUTE!!!

July TBR, Goals and plans (SDCC) | 2017

I will be reading "It" slower than I thought. Didn't touch it this past month. But it's okay. Will be taking my time with this beast. This month I will be trying to challenge my self in the reading department. I been having a strong urge to read as many things as possible. With already 2 books (one comic trade and one children book) completed this month I am hoping to continue the consistent.

Although it will be a little difficult it towards the end of the month. Since I will be heading to San Diego Comic Con (SO EXCITED!! Been counting down the days). Will be hopefully be posting my plans for the convention on here.

Here are the books I am hoping to finish this month:

Mr. Mercedes (Bill Hodges Trilogy, #1) The Women in the Walls Incarceron (Incarceron, #1) Gwendy's Button Box

The Enchanted

1. Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King
2. The Women in the Walls by AMy Lukavics
3. Incarceron by Catherin Fisher
4. Gwendy's Button Box by Stephen King and Richard Chizmar
5. The Enchanted by Denfeld

I think these will be the only ones that I will be selecting. I am hoping to read more.

Supernatural Re-Watch | Post #3: Wendigo 1x02

Wendigo 1x02

We start with an iconic camping in the woods horror cliche scene. Got to love it. I do love that it does give nods to a lot of horror films I like. 


We also get a look at young Han Solo (Alden Ehrenreich) in his first acting role on television. The creepy monster in this episode the Wendigo is no joke, this creature toys with his victims and then eats them. Once a man it was manifested to pure evil as he was left to survive. It's a creepy monster specially being in the middle of nowhere in a surrounding that is not familiar at all. 

During the whole episode Dean is worry about Sam and with good reason. Sam just loss Jessica and he doesn't care what it takes. He want revenge for what was taken from him. With Dean being worry we got one of the most important lines of the show, "I think dad wants us to pick up where he left off. Saving people, hunting things. The family business." Something that I always associate with Supernatural.


I really thought it was smart how they film this episode. Not really showing the creature, keeping the mystery to add the scare factor. That is what makes a horror story great the suspenses of waiting to see the creature. This is perfect to watch at night. The lighting of the monster was great. The reveal wasn't as amazing but it was still a good design.

The one liners in the show do cracks me up. They try so hard. Enjoyed the episode overall and like that they do have funny lines in emotional situations. 

I will be keeping track of these things during the episodes adding them as the episodes go.

What can I say. I really liked this movie. Yes it is corny at times and it has it's moments. But I still enjoyed it. If you were a 90s kid you know what to expect from this film and I was happy with what they delivered. I also have to say that it was a well put together cast. I do hope they could make a sequel.
