The Da Vinci Code

Do not watch the extended cut

What is it about?
The greatest mystery involving Da vinci and the religion

The Good 
The is purely a work of fiction but it is interesting to see 
The solving of the mystery part is fun. It like a modern day treasure hunt 

The Bad
The extended cut is so freaking long. There are a lot of parts like the torture scene and a lot of backstory through history that is not so great
The police sections are boring 

The Ugly 
This movie is for people who has time time to understand about the religion he is talking about. 

After Credits: No 

Verdict: It was okay. Nothing too special 

The Eternals

2000th Post 

A new addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe 

What is it about?
A journey that began 7000 years ago when a group of immortal beings came to earth to protect then against an enemy called the deviants  

The Good 
The action even thought its not much it conveys the story well
Each character has a good amount of screen time
The first deaf character in the MCU 

The plot twist 

The Bad
The story is super long and there is a lot of backstory that just drags the pacing of the movie. But I think you need the backstory to understand the origin of them

The Ugly 
Nothing much

After Credits: Yes two and with two surprise reaction

Verdict: A great MCU moviee

Weekly Review (Week 44)

October 29 😊🥰

Today is vacation day. But before that we have some exciting news. Callie gave birth to 5 kittens. All are bi coloured but the sad news is one didn’t survive. So I had to bury him under the mango tree. We packed out stuff and around 430 we left. Making sure that Callie is in her cage already. We drove an hour to the resort which is shaped like a palm tree. Mom in law got free rooms and we got a two bedroom villa. At night we ate food brought by her. I bought my multicooker to reheat the food. At night we slept. 

October 30 🎂😊

Today first day at the hotel I went and did my normal exercises and then went to get breakfast. During lunch we all didn’t eat. I brought the girls to the beach for a photo shoot.  In the evening we went for a birthday party buffet dinner with everyone. It was Halloween theme and we ate a lot. H2 got a surprised birthday wish from the hotel staff. 

October 31 😊🥰

 

Today we work up at the hotel and I went to get breakfast for everyone. I also ate some breakfast while waiting for the rain to stop. We just relaxed at the hotel and played some uno with the girls. In the evening I went to get some dinner from a small shop where they only sell three items. The food was great. We got mcdonalds from a friend and the kids ate that late at night. My best friend was having a nervous breakdown so I tried to calm them down. It didn't work. Sigh...

November 1 😊🥰

Today it is time to go home. In the morning I carried all the stuff to the car and did a 6km walk around the area. At 11 it was time to go home. We arrived after lunch and brought our house sitter for lunch and ice cream. Got home and did laundry and then played some Forza. I won not once, twice but three times the eliminator. Even back to back. How awesome is that.

November 2 😊🥰

Today I decided to make two different types of spaghettis. One carbonara and one seafood olio. Both were hits but the kids prefer the carbonara one. The day was spend doing loads of laundry, watching the office, forza and reading my new marvel book and it is a very good read. It is just heavy that all

November 3 😊🥰

Today I didn't want to cook so I decided to just buy food and spend the rest of the day chilling. Wife became so annoyed at the house being dirty that she got super angry and tore everything apart. We were scared and just did everything and kept quiet. She had a late lunch so she is not having dinner. As for me I did the usual, office, flash, forza and marvel. And now we are packing for tomorrow's holiday. In the evening my best friend did something that really made me annoyed and sad but I wasn’t angry. 

November 4 😊🥰

Today we are going to the hotel for a staycation with our best couple friend. So we make sure all the cats are well fed. We left close to 12 to arrived at the hotel at 1. Our room is not yet ready so we went to have lunch at the mall food court. We got to our room and it was super big. 2 rooms and 2 baths. That night we celebrated the girls birthday with cake, sandwiches, ice cream cakes and a lot more other stuff. Me and my best friend are talking about my future investment and they decide to lend me a hand. 

Genesis

History 
Finally after a while I finish all the genesis games that it is my list. I never own a Genesis before but I've played it once around the 90s. I remember it was Sonic 2 and Mortal Kombat 2. It was some good memories. 

The Games
16 bit games are the same as normal 8 bit games. I think game of the 90s are more or less the same.  There are some games that stood the test of time but most of them didn't age well at all. 

The Good 
Sonic and anything Sonic adjacent it a good game to play in this machine. Other than that a couple of side scrollers. 

The Bad
Everything else. Most of the games really are just too hard to be played and it is not really fun.

The Ugly
Faux 3D graphics. They control bad and the gameplay just doesn't make sense 

Conclusion

The Genesis is probably great for its time but most of the games really are unplayable and the rest just trash. 16 bit is coming back but with modern gameplay which is awesome. But for now, this will remind in the far corners of history.
