AMERICAN HEIST (2015) Review “The banking institutions are more dangerous than the army.” For a heist film, one would think that you would experience a suspenseful film that would have at least offer something to take home with you after watching it. American Heist is exhausting. It clutches into these dramas that hardly benefits the …

PAPER TOWNS (2015) Review “What a treacherous thing to believe that a person is more than a person.” – John Green, Paper Towns Paper Towns is more than just a love story or a teen romance, it’s hard to process how the film works especially if you’re expecting a love story. The film can be looked …
Zombie Apocalypse (2014) Review 1/5 Released locally as Zombie Apocalypse, April Apocalypse is boring for a zombie movie. There are too many factors the movie missed that you’ll just shake your head wondering why a movie like this is made. The whole movie feels like grade school students are trying to do something with their …
Marvel’s Ant-Man (2015) Review 4/5 Like its premise, the film operates in a smaller scale within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With exceptional cast, it materializes a film that is still of Marvel standards. A fun-filled adventure that has a heart in all sizes. Ant-Man puts comedy star Paul Rudd in a much bigger role and …
Love Forecast (Tagalized, 2015) Review 2.5/5 A typical romantic comedy film from Korea that has the charm from characters to the familiar story. Love Forecast feels repetitive at times, and though it has the charm and humor most Korean romcoms have, the film doesn’t want to be different which makes it ordinary, not standing out …

Final Girl (2015) Review 1.5/5 What feels like a product of a fantasy of an amateur psychopath is Final Girl. The film is full of glaring plot holes that makes the film stupid and pointless. It’s hard to call it entertaining while thinking how it poorly constructs its story. Breslin and Ludwig’s presence is welcomed …
Minions (2015) Review 3.5/5 Not as enjoyable as the first two Despicable Me films but still has the fun and charms the Minions usually provides. Minions finally isn’t just a side show of the movie but the main attraction that the two Despicable Me films made them to be. Though it isn’t as heartfelt or …
Magic Mike XXL (2015) Review 3/5 Simpler, looser and has more dance routine than its predecessor but it is also less intimate and less engaging. Magic Mike XXL draws more entertainment in the table with riskier dance routines as the finale is a big scandalous exhibition of sorts. The film opens in a slow and …
The Breakup Playlist (2015) Review 3.5/5 Squeezing in melodramatic confrontation scenes makes the characters feel less authentic and less sincere. But the narrative is constructed decently with the usual Star Cinema formula. The Breakup Playlist is better than the recent Star Cinema films but it still provides inappropriate confrontation scenes and clichéd family story lines …
MAX (2015) 3/5 Unbelievable as it may look as the story progresses, Max means well. A family film that doesn’t just go “awwww” for dog and companion moments but is also a thrilling adventure of a found bond between a boy and a dog. Max has a lot of spirit and heart but you can’t …
