From afar, ‘Captain America: Brave New World’ is decent. It has the elements of a superhero blockbuster film and a story palatable for the casual audience. But you kind of miss the spectacle in Marvel movies, the connection with the characters and the satisfaction after watching them.
There are resemblances in Mufasa and the The Lion King but Barry Jenkins made it feel like a companion film to the original with breathtaking visuals and a heartwarming story. It may feel as if you’re revisiting the original film but there are bits in Mufasa that’s fresh and would make you consider it may have its own story to tell.
MUFASA: THE LION KING is now showing in cinemas nationwide from Walt Disney Studios. Rated G by the MTRCB. #MufasaPH
You can say it’s a typical Chinese family drama, with themes like love, career and misunderstanding in the family.

Tiglao’s ‘Her Locket’ weaves its story in a familiar but effective way. Presenting family issues heartwarmingly and reminding us the bittersweet journey of life and how fast time flies.
HER LOCKET will have its wide release in Philippine cinemas starting January 22, 2025.

The film works on familiar themes and formula but it was executed in the sincerest way possible. Sweetness and warmth cover the entirety of the film not just because of the romance angle between the two but also because of each of the characters relationship with their families.
