So the end has come for the Seventh Season of my favorite HBO series Game Of Thrones. The final episode is aptly entitled The Dragon And The Wolf referring to Daenerys Targaryen and Jon Snow, respectively.

1. LOVE BOAT

One of the most anticipated scenes is the love scene of Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen on a boat off to the North. This scene is pivotal in sealing the deal between the two main protagonists, the Mother of Dragons and the King Of The North. I was smiling the whole time while watching this scene. I forgot that they are actually related and that my eyes were feasting on something abominable that is incest. And I must say that Jon knows his pick-up lines and Dany knows how to reciprocate.

2. LOVE TEAM OF THE SEASON

And they meet again. I just love the chemistry between these two: Brienne and The Hound. I wonder who Brienne ends up with? Is it going to be The Hound or Tormund? She also has a short scene with Jamie Lannister where she tries to convince Jamie to join them in the fight up north.

3. BLOOD WINS

This scene has once again proven that for the Starks blood will always be thicker than water. In the last episode, Littlefinger tried to put tension between the sisters Sansa and Arya to bring them into a fight for power and control of Winterfell while the King Of The North is away. But Ned Stark taught his girls well the value of sticking together no matter what.

Who would have thought that Littlefinger will not be able to weasle his way out this time? Yup, after 7 seasons, Littlefinger is no more.

4. THE NIGHTKING AS A DRAGON RIDER

I could be wrong but I can’t help but think that the Night King and Bran are one. Before this scene in which the Night King is revealed riding the undead Viserion, we see Bran under The Tree seemingly warging… as to who or what he is warging into I do not know.

5. THE WALL… OH, WELL…

The scene to top it all is the final scene in which Viserion melts down the mighty Wall that has stood strong for seven seasons. Wait… Is that fire or ice? It has to be hot though to melt the ice, right? And, what should the command be? Dracarys or something else? I guess we would never know until the next season which will air in 1.5 years or so. Yes… that is like two Christmases from now, Philippine time that is… just enough time to do a regular Game Of Thrones weekend marathon from Seasons 1 to 7. Lol.

What is your favorite scene? Let me know in the comments section below.

This is it for now. Signing out. Peace!

The post MY TOP 5 SCENES FROM GAME OF THRONES 7 FINALE appeared first on JOEL JAWS ANDRADA.

It is past one o’clock in the morning and I just finished watching the movie King Arthur. It is National Heroes’ Day and I am taking the holiday off.

I thought of watching another movie but I do not think I can take another 1.5 hours of continuous exposure to radiation from a 55-inch LED screen. So, I am settling for an IPAD screen instead and decided to write a random blog. Let me just pretend that the blue radiation I am getting from this smaller screen would make things better. Duh.

So, how do I find the movie King Arthur? I guess this entry is not so random after all. The heck it is a movie review! Hahahaha

Well, let me just put it this way. I have always been fascinated by the story of King Arthur, Excalibur and Camelot. So, as a disclaimer, this sort of movie review is going to be biased. Lol.

As a child, I still remember goofing around with a sword and pretending I was Arthur and I had Merlin as a friend and his magic.
So here goes… I got so engrossed in the first 2 minutes of the movie that I had to press ‘pause’ to go downstairs to buy my favorite Granny Goose Tortillos (yung red) and a bottle of Fit ‘n Right (yung apple flavor). I could not go on without munching something.

Suffice to say that I liked the movie. I have always been a fan of epic slash saga movies anyway which explains my obsession to the HBO series ‘Game of Thrones’. I can not wait for the Season 7 Finale tomorrow. I have been trying to avoid getting on social media to avoid spoilers.

Oh and by the way, Aidan Gillen, the actor who plays ‘Littlefinger’ in GOT happens to be a protagonist in King Arthur. To be honest, I did not expect that Aidan could play a goody-goody because he has been so effective in playing that lying P.I.T.A. Littlefinger but he delivered.

Before I drift away to Westeros, back to Camelot. Lol. So, I also noticed that Charles Hunnam, the one who plays King Arthur, has a striking resemblance to Channing Tatum. I actually thought it was Channing at first. Take a look at their photos below. I put them side by side to prove my point.

The movie has the same plot as the classic. What can we expect? I mean, they can only change the storyline so much. I am pretty sure they wanted to keep it very close to what most people of my generation have grown to love. They had to use special effects, convincing production design and remove Merlin from it to cater to the younger generation and instead put a Mage to serve as a ‘love’ interest for the up and coming Born King. I wonder when in Arthur’s timeline will Guinevere and Lancelot come in? I guess there is going to be a part 2.

Will I recommend the movie to others? Yes. Will I watch the movie again? Maybe. I am working on a project and might refer to it on how they did some of the special effects in the final fight scene.

Finally, I am feeling the need to doze off. I guess this blogging before bedtime works and might just become a habit. What do you think about this review? Perhaps, I should go technical in my future reviews, huh? Let me know.

Signing out for now. Peace!
