Ted 2 (2015) Review “There are no chicks with d*cks, Johnny, only guys with t*ts.” Ted 2 has a new story and may come as more ridiculous than its predecessor but in the end, it feels just the same. Mark Wahlberg and Seth MacFarlane is back for some really funny and sometimes offensive stuff and …

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.

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.
