  I am at the moment is in a marathon, 1 film per night - to finally watch all of the films directed by great filmmakers - Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, James Cameron, Ridley Scott and Stanley Kubrick. I purposely hold myself off from watching a lot of their films as I planned to watch them after I have been through this long film-watching passion that I started back in 2014. It's as if I am savoring the best for the last. With that being said, the first director that I will finish first is Scorsese. And I have watched his other popular works like Goodfellas, The King of Comedy and Shutter Island, but Kundun is one of the ones that I have not watched. So, was it good? And thus, Scorsese remains my no. 1 film director and the dude can not only do crime movies, but religion too. Not only Catholic, but Buddhism as well. I love The Last Temptation of Christ and Silence, and while Kundun might not be as good as these two, I still think this film is so underrated. 8/10 

As expected of a 90s comicbook movie, way before Sam Raimi's Spider-Man and Bryan Singer's X-Men paved the way to the golden age of superhero movies; Spawn was cheesy and campy as hell, with all it's 90s campy elements - leather attires, crappy punk rock music etc. However, the movie got the titular character, Spawn, right. His origin story, and his badass costume design were totally cool, unique and remarkable. Despite the poorly animated third act, I like this film for it's good old 90s films campiness and for our badass Spawn, the first antihero on big screen before Blade, Deadpool or Venom.  I can't wait to see how the upcoming Todd McFarlane's  Spawn  reboot gonna look like. 5/10
