  • Just came from the local press screening of Rental Family. I thought it was a touching and heartfelt exploration of human connections no matter the differences. Fantastic ensemble cast led by Brendan Fraser’s unassuming performance. A feel- good story for and about found families. Review next week. Shows exclusively jn Ayala Malls Cinemas January 21st…

  • Applause-worthy crowd pleaser despite being less emotionally-charged as previous installments. Bloody memorable performance from Ralph Fiennes

  • Not a B+ wedding video

    Jack Black’s comedic talent was unharmed during the making of this meta comedy. That’s it.

  • No tragedy in Scarlet

    Stunning visuals, deep story from Mamoru Hosoda, who has mastered the art of marrying 2D/3D animation with compelling storytelling. But the revenge story may be too dark for most audiences (but shouldn’t be a problem for regular anime fans.)

  • Kiss the Oscar goodbye

    The stage is small and the screen is small in Condon’s adaptation of the story of two prisoners in 1970s Argentina who form a bond through fantasies of Hollywood musicals. Sorry, Jlo. This is not your ticket to the Oscars.

  • Three films from today’s Pelikula/Pelicula (24th Manila Spanish Film Festival) Maratón: El 47 (The 47), a heartfelt and quite moving dramatization of how a bus driver’s actions changed not only his town in the boondocks of Barcelona but the country of Spain in 1975. Loved it. ; Tasio, the raw (by raw I mean unembellished)…

  • (Netflix) Frankenstein is revealed

    Del Toro’s Frankenstein creature reveal art and trailer.

  • Beloved Downton Abbey bids farewell

    Strictly for the fans! Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale is a fitting send-off to a beloved series and a lovely cast who have endeared audiences for many years

  • Butlerian beefcake

    Just fun enough for a bloody wild misadventure, but leaves a mildly dour aftertaste. Thank goodness it has all Austin Butler super beefcake power

  • Another thriller from Academy Award-winning director Kathryn Bigelow comes A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE.
