AMERICAN ULTRA (2015) Review Directed by Nima Nourizadeh Surprisingly romantic, fun and entertaining though it doesn’t uses its potential to operate in a much sensible approach. American Ultra feels like it’s supposed to be a high-octane action-adventure romance film but it tones down disappointingly, trying to accommodate its hollow humor, but you can get enough punches, …

SICARIO (2015) Review Directed by Denis Villeneuve Gritty and intense until the very end. Sicario is a solid action-crime drama led by brilliant performances from Blunt and Del Toro. The film not only keeps you on the edge of your seat with its intense scenes, it also presents eye-opening scenarios that will stay in you after …
EVERYDAY I LOVE YOU (Review) Directed by Mae Cruz-Alviar Built in petty and unreasonable conflicts, Everyday I Love You offers good romantic chemistry from its leads but like its antagonist, the film waits for its main plot to unveil in an excruciating way. Enrique Gil may be too young for his role but still manages to …

From the direction to the story and the acting, Anino Sa Likod ng Buwan is no holds barred in delivering excellent production.

PARANORMAL ACTIVITY: THE GHOST DIMENSION (2015) Review Directed by Gregory Plotkin With the franchise getting worse and worse with every installment, it’s best not to expect anything with this final chapter. Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension is neither scary or good. It tries to be creative in having a “monster” or “entity” or “ghost” but it …

BLACK MASS (2015) Review Directed by Scott Cooper This is not your usual family-friendly film Johnny Depp and that’s good. Black Mass is gritty, a slowly developed, well-told crime drama with riveting performances from the cast. This is Depp back to serious acting. He’s pretty much the best reason you need to see the film as …
THE LAST WITCH HUNTER (2015) Review Directed by Breck Eisner While the story says it’s original, it did copy from familiar films from the same genre. The Last Witch Hunter is unnecessarily dark, twisted and romantic. Vin Diesel is in his usual acting though at times he tries, but it hardly matters. The film can …

KNOCK KNOCK (2015) Directed by Eli Roth You know that feeling that even though you’re annoyed by how naive and stupid the protagonist is, you’re still glued to the screen because you’re dying to know what happens next? That’s Knock Knock. The film maybe intended to intrigue and annoy the viewers, the actors helped to …
GOOSEBUMPS (2015) Review Directed by Rob Letterman Surprisingly, the film entertains in a way that it doesn’t make you feel stupid. Goosebumps is funny, energetic and full of surprises. The story is predictable though, no surprise there, but its simplicity is somewhat refreshing. Yes, the film could’ve gone bigger, deeper or maybe darker but its treatment …
REGRESSION (2015) Review Directed by Alejandro Amenabar It’s not what you expect from a horror film as the film is hardly scary, but it has some interesting subject tackled that turned it into a psychological thriller. It’s nice to see a different Emma Watson though. She and Ethan Hawke performs well even though the film …
