What if the ending was different.

I always think of the what-ifs every time the ending of the film was bad or even good. If you're like me, then I think you've search the internet for alternate endings or fans fictions or theories concerning the ending of a certain movie. 

If you do search for those things, I think you would have seen a video from HISHE (How It Should Have Ended).



How It Should Have Ended shows an alternate animated ending of a certain movie in a comedic way. Sometimes, pointing out the mistakes with the same manner of humor. Most movies make are super-heroes, Lord Of The Rings types, and some films with nerd fans in it.

Here is HISHE's approach in the ending of the film, Avengers.




I am going to talk to you about the extra named, Alexander Rhodes.

You have never heard of his name before have you? But according to IMDB, he is in a staring lead on Tom Cruise's movie, Jack Reacher as the Suspicious Onlooker.

How did this happen?
Apparently, he posted a photo of him being an extra in the film and uploaded it on the site called reddit. It was received very well by the redditors. Now, his page on IMDB, got a lot of views because of his post. We're talking about a thousand of views. As it turns out, IMDB rank the cast based on its profile traffic and that is how Alexander Rhodes got above Tom Cruise on the lead role and how he is now ranked as Number 8 on IMDB's STARmeter; next to Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Chris Hemsworth, and Tom Hardy.

It's funny how a simple guy was made star by a huge community. It's funny how much impact a simple online community could make to a persons life and how they unknowingly made a man's dream come true.

So when you decide to watch Jack Reacher, make sure to look for some suspicious onlooker.

During a further research on Joss Whedon's S.H.I.E.L.D. TV Show, I have uncovered a yet another AWESOME information about this project.

Ladies and Gentlemen... The character descriptions of S.H.I.E.L.D.


  • Skye – This late-20s woman sounds like a dream: fun, smart, caring and confident – with an ability to get the upper hand by using her wit and charm.
  • Agent Grant Ward – Quite the physical specimen and “cool under fire,” he sometimes botches interpersonal relations. He’s a quiet one with a bit of a temper, but he’s the kind of guy that grows on you.
  • Agent Althea Rice – Also known as “The Calvary,” this hard-core soldier has crazy skills when it comes to weapons and being a pilot. But her experiences have left her very quiet and a little damaged.
  • Agent Leo Fitz and Agent Jemma Simmons – These two came through training together and still choose to spend most of their time in each other’s company. Their sibling-like relationship is reinforced by their shared nerd tendencies – she deals with biology and chemistry, he’s a whiz at the technical side of weaponry.

  • Now, these characters aren't from the comic-books, trust me I've googled. They seem like a regular Whedon Character; fun, enjoyable, and interesting to watch. Awesome.



    The Jerry Bruckheimer produced Lone Ranger has now released its first Teaser trailer. According to some sources, it was the same footage that was shown during the last Comic-con. I could see that it's as Bruckheimer and Verbinski's replacement for Pirates of the Caribbean.

    My only comment about this teaser is that there's a lot of Johnny Depp footage shown than Armie Hammer who's playing the lead role of the Lone Ranger. I dearly hope that whole of the movie wouldn't be like this or else they could have just called the movie, Tonto.

    That being said, the trailer still looks interesting and action-packed. So watch the trailer available below and let us know what you think.

    Oh, by the way, Helena Bonham Carter's in this. Surprise, surprise.








    I have always been waiting for the next Firefly, the next Joss Whedon TV Show. And I never expected it to be MARVEL related. It is like combining bacon with rainbows. It's very tragic that Firefly was unjustly cancelled. The reason was because it was on the wrong network, an un-supporting network, which is FOX, and it was also because the show doesn't have enough fans.

    Well, now that Joss has proven himself to the masses, everything he does now has instant audiences. Plus, the with material itself, the comic-book fans, the marvel fans, would definitely not miss a beat on this project. 


    It has got me thinking that maybe in the future, fingers are crossed as heck, the glorious show  of Firefly would return. But today's topic is not about Firefly, its about S.H.I.E.L.D. A more detailed look on how this agency works inside Marvel's Cinematic Universe.

    Imagine how amazing it could be. The possibilities of having this show and how it will help the overall universe. Imagine how easy it could be to introduce minor or major COMICBOOK characters into the movie. They can now have a different stream of presenting marvel characters besides in films.

    Secondly, being able to see the characters from the films to the TV and vice versa. Ex. Hawkeye special guests on one episode and Banner on the next. Or the main characters from TV having important roles on other films or at least a cameo. Imagine that. It's just like a regular MARVEL comic book issue. Spider-man showing up on Iron Man's issue, Wolverine battling the HULK, etc.

    Seeing how the Avengers became successful. I could see that this Series would see the same light that other MARVEL Studios projects saw. I Could not wait.



    I was quite sad for not being able to watch DREDD. In fact, I was so sad that I went into an abandoned factory and dance myself to who knows what.
    Security Cam caught me doing it. Here's the footage.

    Alright. I know it wasn't me. It's Kevin Bacon in the movie, Footloose. It's one of the most memorable scenes from that movie. It was so memorable that it spawned spoofs; most notably, this one.

    It's from one of my favorite films, Hot Rod. Starring SNL's very own, Andy Samberg. It's In my list of "Films I Watch When I Am Bored". In my opinion, one of the most underrated comedy films I have ever watched.

    Here's the synopsis:
    Rod Kimble is a naïf, a slacker living in a small US town with his mom, his younger brother, and his stepfather whose respect he craves. He also misses his dead dad, whom he thinks was Evel Knievel's back-up. Rod, a man-child, believes that he is a stunt man. When his stepfather needs an operation, with help from his brother and his slacker pals, Rod hatches a plan to set a school-bus-jumping record on his moped. First, his crew and he have to raise money to rent the buses and build the ramp. Trouble is, Rod's inept at his chosen career. Looming failure is complicated by the return of Denise, Rod's next-door neighbor and secret heartthrob, who is home from college. Is public humiliation at hand?

    The writing is pretty Stupid-funny. Not stupid in the sense that the writer is stupid. No. It's because the film is so cleverly stupid that you realize it's smart. You get it? Well, I guess you have to be pretty "cleverly-stupid" (pardon my French) to get it. Kidding.

    The acting is part of what made this movie funny. It's like a one long SNL sketch with character backgrounds and all that shebang. Andy Samberg is pretty fit for acting like a man-child; he's so believable. You can actually see that inside the character, he is just a child whose desire is to be a stuntman like Evel Knievel. Also, the supporting pars the performance of Samberg. They're like caricatures came to life.

    Now, the most interesting part for me in this movie is that you ca never guess what the era is in this movie. The people, the places looks pretty modern but the fashion, the music, the overall feel seems pretty 70's, 80's, and even 90's. A creative way to deceive your audience.

    Now Go and watch it. Bored or Not.

    Hard Boiled (1992)

    Director: John Woo

    Writers: John Woo (Story), 
    Barry Wong (Screenplay)

    Starring: Chow Yun-Fat, 
    Tony Leung Chiu Wai and 
    Teresa Mo




    My friend, If you're a fan of Hong Kong's film collections and haven't watched this movie then WHY THE HELL DO YOU CALL YOURSELF A FAN? 

    *ehem* 

    Hard Boiled jump-started Chow Yun-Fat and John Woo career to Hollywood. It has one of the most creative yet violent films I have ever seen. For a 90's Asian film, it's definitely not that bad. It's very different to what I used to watch during that era. Besides the Unlimited bullets, the every-time-you-reach-your-back-there's-a-pistol-clip method, and the very 90's hairstyles, you wouldn't really think of it as a 90's film. It's ahead of its time. 

    The film's story revolves around a cop whose partner got killed during an gun bust operation and now has vowed to finish the job and look for the people responsible for his partner's death. You might think it's one of those same old revenge story but it's really not. It has more content in it but to avoid being a spoiler I would not tell you what it is. Correction: what THEY are. Oohhh. Interesting, I know.

    And have you met Chow Yun-Fat? Yeah, he looks pretty B.A. in this film. He's like the Asian Bruce Willis, if you asked me, and Hard Boiled is his Die Hard. His acting is very natural and believable and his delivery of lines are in Chinese. The character development though are decent but not impressive. There weren't enough room for Woo to develop Chow Yun-Fat's character, Tequila. We did not see enough of who Tequila is; only that he is capable of handling a gun. The other characters, specially some of the bad guys, aren't that bad.

    They might have not enough time to develop them but it's the action sequences that made this amazing action film. Holy mothballs, the slow motion sequences from this film is the reason why a lot of films have slow motion action scenes. John Woo even inspired the slo-mo scenes of The Matrix, a film famous for slo-mos. The way they use the slow motion are very natural and not forced unlike other films in Hollywood today.

    I urge you film buffs to watch this movie and you would definitely have a fun time.

    Here's a trailer for Hard Boiled:
