THE ROUNDUP (2022) ReviewDirected by Lee Sang-yong When Don Lee and Son Sukku meet, it’s like two gods collide. The Roundup is a solid, tension-filled action comedy that goes beyond the usual in terms of visual. The hand to hand combats are impressive but what made me really be on the edge of my seat …

NGAYON KAYA (2022) ReviewDirected by Prime Cruz The film asks the what ifs in life. It is the core theme of the movie. But what the film also tells is the unending compromises we make in our lives. And seeing the same compromises you make put in a film is both heartbreaking and thought provoking. …

JURASSIC WORLD DOMINION (2022) ReviewDirected by Colin Tevorrow It looks and feels like the Jurassic franchise has ran out of ideas. Jurassic World Dominion knows how to entertain. It knows how to build big action sequences but you’re sometimes wondering, what’s the point? Where is this heading? Does this mean something to the story? It’s …

TOP GUN: MAVERICK (2022) ReviewDirected by Joseph Kosinski There is nothing more glorious than a beloved classic being honored in the best way possible: continuing the emotional journey of its main character and giving him the spotlight to showcase what he has left to offer, and in this case, way more than you can imagine. …

DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS (2022) ReviewDirected by Sam Raimi What I first noticed while watching Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is that the film doesn’t have the Marvel texture. It looks and feels more of a Sam Raimi movie and that’s fantastic! Fantastic because I, myself, admit that most Marvel …
THE BAD GUYS (2022) ReviewDirected by Pierre Perifel Honestly, at first I was having doubts whether I feel like I’m going to enjoy The Bad Guys or not. Its macho appeal did not attract me at first but the visuals, the personalities of the characters are just too engaging you’re unaware you’re already glued to …

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2 (2022) ReviewDirected by Jeff Fowler Bigger adventure, bigger action sequences, Sonic The Hedgehog 2 feels like The Avengers in terms of its scope. IT’S THAT BIG. And I’m surprised as well. I never thought I would enjoy the movie as much as I did. Not just as a popcorn, no-brainer movie, …

FANTASTIC BEASTS: THE SECRETS OF DUMBLEDORE (2022) ReviewDirected by David Yates I’m probably one of those who liked The Crimes of Grindelwald more than the first Fantastic Beasts movie. Because the first one felt like it was still finding its identity while the second one found it and chose to be darker. But The Secrets …

MORBIUS (2022) ReviewDirected by Daniel Espinosa There’s no better way of telling how I felt watching the newest anti-hero movie from the Sony’s Spider-Man universe ‘Morbius’: disappointed and bored. You have the Marvel brand, you have Jared Leto, and you have a material that looks to be more complicated than the usual characters in superhero …

AMBULANCE (2022) Movie ReviewDirected by Michael Bay We get it, Michael Bay. You like to play with the cameras. It was interesting to see Michael Bay do movies outside the Transformers franchise. Pearl Harbor and Armageddon were guilty pleasures and it gave a satisfying enough amount of explosions, I mean drama. Kidding aside, Bay’s latest …
