Film Review: Roma
Whether it’s a grand-scale production like Gravity or a fly-on-the-wall observatory project like Roma, the creativity and passion that flows on the screen is undeniable. The raw emotion packs a punch that’ll leave audiences with something to ponder on the drive home. … read more
Film Review: Robin Hood
While there are still many similarities to the previous productions of Robin Hood (honestly, how could it not?), the modernization comes in the form of Bathurst’s intense action sequences, which come across more like a current military operation rather than medieval combat. … read more
Film Review: Halloween
The level of violence that is considered acceptable nowadays has certainly been heightened. If ultraviolent killings make you squeamish, you may want to sit the new Halloween movie out. … read more
Film Review: Beautiful Boy
Beautiful Boy is a great advocate for people dealing with dependences and for their supportive family members and friends. Hope is the ultimate goal of this account. … read more
Film Review: Crazy Rich Asians
Crazy Rich Asians is based on a bestselling novel by Kevin Kwan. Native New Yorker Rachel Chu (Constance Wu) is dating Singaporean Nick Young (Henry Golding), having no clue about how loaded his family really is. … read more
Film Review: The Meg

Film Review: Upgrade
Everything from the lighting and the cinematography to the comedic beats and over-the-top violence makes Upgrade stand out among the 2018 releases so far. It has been a long time since a film has made me scream out in horror multiple times from the display of sheer viciousness on the screen. … read more
Film Review: Deadpool 2
The formation of the X-Force is one of the greatest sights to be seen, and I will never look at another parachuting sequence in the same light for the rest of my life. Sorry, Point Break, Deadpool 2 has you beat dead to rights. … read more
Film Review: Solo: A Star Wars Story
Coming from veteran director Ron Howard, Solo: A Star Wars Story comes across as safe without any significant directorial uniqueness. Essentially, anyone could have made this sci-fi adventure. … read more
Film Review: Isle of Dogs
Isle of Dogs is set in the not-too-distant future Japan. The overpopulation of sickly canines has become virtually unbearable. Rather than seeking a cure for the illnesses, the ghastly mayor banishes all dogs to Trash Island, and that includes his nephew Atari’s pet, Spots (voiced by Liev Schreiber). … read more
