“Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” Movie Review by @Rafy Mediavilla (@Rmediavilla) #DnDMovie

"Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves" Movie Review by @Rafy Mediavilla (@Rmediavilla) #DnDMovie A charming thief and a band of unlikely adventurers undertake an epic heist to retrieve a lost relic, but things go dangerously awry when they run afoul of the wrong people. Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves brings the rich world and playful spirit of the legendary roleplaying game to the big screen in a hilarious and action-packed adventure. First, let me say I had zero expectations, but a lot of hype came into the theater for the screening of this movie and while running time is certainly questionable, I came out completely surprised at how entertained I was by this whole story and how it played out on the big screen. Even if you aren't familiar with the concept of...

“Tetris” (Apple TV+) Moview Review by Rafy Mediavilla (@Rmediavilla) #Tetris #AppleTVPlus

"Tetris" (Apple TV+) Moview Review by Rafy Mediavilla (@Rmediavilla) #Tetris #AppleTVPlus "Tetris" tells the unbelievable story of how one of the world's most popular video games found its way to avid players around the globe. Henk Rogers (Taron Egerton) discovers TETRIS in 1988, and then risks everything by traveling to the Soviet Union, where he joins forces with inventor Alexey Pazhitnov (Nikita Efremov) to bring the game to the masses. Based on a true story, "Tetris" is a Cold War-era thriller on steroids, with double-crossing villains, unlikely heroes and a nail-biting race to the finish. As someone that grew up with a Gameboy glued to his hand, and an avid Nintendo fanboy, Tetris is a movie I knew I was going to fall in love with and the producers did not disappoint. Th...

SXSW First Look Clip At Netflix’s BEEF with Steven Yeun & Ali Wong Road Rag #BEEFnetflix

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WEYoGJJYVk SXSW First Look Clip At Netflix's BEEF with Steven Yeun & Ali Wong Road Rag Ahead of BEEF's World Premiere at SXSW, Netflix released the first look clip today for BEEF, premiering on April 6, 2023. As told exclusively to Tudum.com, creator / showrunner / executive producer Lee Sung Jin also shared his thoughts on why "BEEF" is called "BEEF": "There are surprisingly few catchy words or idioms that sell the feud aspect of the show, and the few that exist have been done before… The slang context of BEEF plus the aesthetic appeal of a punchy one-word title led to the decision." BEEF follows the aftermath of a road rage incident between two strangers. Danny Cho (Steven Yeun), a failing contractor with a chip on his shoulder, goes...
