Superman — Movie Review

After stopping a war between Boravia and Jarhanpur, Superman (David Corenswet) finds himself in hot water. Though he ended the conflict, he is now under scrutiny for entering a foreign country and interfering with political affairs. One of his most vocal critics is none other than tech billionaire Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult).

Lex claims that Superman might be a global threat because of his involvement in the Boravia-Jarhanpur situation. He proposes a solution to the U.S. government, a special task force he calls Planet Watch. This unit includes his most powerful assets: the Engineer (María Gabriela de Faría), Ultra Man, and a fleet of flying armored soldiers. However, the government is reluctant to approve his plan unless he can present solid evidence that Superman poses a serious danger.

While Lex looks for a way to bring Superman down, Superman continues doing what he does best. He saves lives. Whether it is stopping an enormous kaiju or going toe-to-toe with a mysterious iron suit, he shows up. He is not alone either. Sometimes, he gets help from his loyal dog, Krypto. Other times, the Justice Gang steps in. The team includes Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion), Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced), and Mr. Terrific (Edi Gathegi). But their support is limited. They are under Maxwell Lord and his company, so their involvement depends on the situation.

Outside of saving the world, Superman lives a quieter life as Clark Kent. He works as a journalist for The Daily Planet alongside his best friend Jimmy Olsen (Skyler Gisondo) and his girlfriend, Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan). Lois knows the truth about Clark and Superman, and they’re secretly dating. Though, it’s not working out perfectly as both would've want to.

But despite everything, from relationship issue to world-ending problems, one thing remains clear. The world needs Superman. So when Lex finally makes his move and begins to carry out his plan to eliminate him, Superman must find the strength to face his biggest challenge yet.

KPop Demon Hunter — Movie Review

Rumi (Arden Cho), Mira (May Hong), and Zoey (Ji-young Yoo) are the stars of Huntrix, a wildly popular Korean girl group. Fans around the world adore them. Their songs, style, and energy can easily light up every stage.

But behind all the fame and glamor, the world doesn’t know their biggest secret.

They’re not just pop stars. They’re demon hunters.

For a long time, demons have roamed the Earth. They hide in the shadows and steal souls to feed their king, Gwi-Ma (Byung-hun Lee). Rumi, Mira, and Zoey were born with voices that carry a special power. When they sing, their music fills people with hope and courage. And when people are feeling fulfilled, the energy they give strengthens an ancient force called the Honmoon.

The Honmoon is what protects the world from Gwi-Ma’s evil. The more people believe in Huntrix and feel inspired by their songs, the stronger the Honmoon becomes. If enough hearts are awakened, they can create the Golden Honmoon, a shield so powerful that no darkness can break through it.

Meanwhile, in the demon world, Gwi-Ma is growing restless. His attacks have all failed and Huntrix is stronger than ever. That’s when a clever demon named Jinu (Ahn Hyo-seop) comes up with a new idea. Instead of fighting the group directly, why not destroy their fanbase?

Jinu believes that if people stop listening, the Honmoon will grow weak. Perhaps, it will fade away.

As pressure builds for Huntrix to unlock the Golden Honmoon, Rumi faces a personal struggle. She is hiding a terrible secret to her group.

Rumi is part demon.

Every day, it gets harder to keep the truth from Mira and Zoey. She’s afraid that if they find out, it will break their bond and weaken the group’s power.

Rumi’s fear grows as Gwi-Ma and Jinu draw closer to victory. If she loses her friends’ trust, Huntrix might fall apart. And if they do, the world could fall with them.

28 Years Later — Movie Review

The film is set 28 years after the Rage virus. While the virus has almost completely died out across continental Europe, as most of the infected have perished from starvation, Great Britain remains under indefinite quarantine.

On an island separated from the mainland by a causeway lives Jaime (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), one of the community's most skilled scavengers. He resides with his wife Isla (Jodie Comer), who is battling a mysterious illness, and their 12-year-old son, Spike (Alfie Williams). As part of the community’s coming-of-age ritual, Jaime takes Spike into the forest to teach him the art of survival and scavenging.

During their trip, they encounter different types of infected, from a fat one to a child. But the most terrifying of them all is an Alpha, a rare variant that is faster, stronger, and smarter than the typical infected. These Alphas are nearly impossible to outrun or outfight, making them a threat to be avoided at all costs.

While staying at an abandoned house, Spike spots a fire in the distance. Jaime mentions that it is probably Ian Kelson (Ralph Fiennes), a former survivor who now lives in isolation. According to locals, Kelson has lost his mind, and most people are afraid of him. However, Spike later discovers that Kelson is actually a doctor. With hope building inside him, he wonders if Kelson might be able to help treat his ailing mother.

Everything changes when Spike witnesses his father having an affair. The betrayal shakes him to the core and becomes the turning point of the story.

Spike decides to break the community’s rules to bring Isla to Kelson, risking everything to save her. With infected still roaming the land and the threat of Alphas making every step more perilous, Spike traverses the dangerous land with courage, love, and a bow in hand.

Only We Know — Movie Review

Only We Know opens with a professor named Betty (Charo Santos-Concio) giving a lecture on existentialism, absurdism, and the play Waiting for Godot.

A few years later, Betty is now retired. She spends her days doing ordinary things like painting, grocery shopping, and cooking for herself. Occasionally, her best friend Cora (Shamaine Buencamino) and Cora’s husband, Bert (Joel Saracho), visits her. During these visits, Cora often tries to set Betty up on dates. Unfortunately, none of them work out. The men she introduces to her are either perverts or too old.

Betty used to be married; his name is William (Al Tantay). No, he’s not dead. He simply left her for someone younger. Despite this, Betty and William remain in contact. Their relationship now feels more like a polite friendship. There’s no drama and you can just sense that there's acceptance on what happened between them.

Across the street from Betty lives Ryan (Dingdong Dantes), a middle-aged man who lost his wife a year ago. He’s still grieving and unwilling to move on. He refuses to date anyone and spends most of his evenings drinking alone. Though they live near each other, Ryan and Betty rarely interact.

That changes one day when Betty asks Ryan to host dinner for the two of them after he helps her with something around the house. Ryan hesitates but agrees. What starts as a simple gesture becomes the beginning of an unexpected and intimate friendship.

As they spend more time together, Betty and Ryan discover that they share more than just proximity. Both carry emotional wounds and unspoken sadness. Through long talks, quiet dinners, and everyday companionship, their bond grows stronger.

Together, they create something undefined. A relationship only they know.

How to Train Your Dragon — Movie Review

If other islands worry about pests like rats or insects, the island of Berk worries about something much bigger: dragons.

Dragons are vicious creatures. They steal sheep for food and destroy homes and crops with their fire. Every attack is a reminder that life in Berk is dangerous and unpredictable.

But Berk is home to the toughest and meanest Vikings. They don’t back down from anything, not even fire-breathing, high-flying dragons. The people of Berk are fearless. When a dragon appears, they fight it, capture it, punch it, or kill it.

Hiccup (Mason Thames) is the son of the Viking chief, Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler). As the chief's son, everyone expects great things from him. But Hiccup doesn’t fit the Viking mold. He’s thin, weak, clumsy, and far from fearless. He often ruins whatever he touches, much to the disappointment of his father.

His peers don’t see much value in him either. Snotlout (Gabriel Howell), Fishlegs (Julian Dennison), Ruffnut (Bronwyn James), and Tuffnut (Harry Trevaldwyn) each have unique strengths and bravery that makes them useful in battle. Even Astrid (Nico Parker), Hiccup’s crush, is a fierce and skilled warrior. She’s easily the best Viking of their generation.

Still, not everyone has given up on him. Gobber (Nick Frost), Hiccup’s mentor, sees potential in the boy. He believes that maybe Hiccup doesn’t need to be a typical Viking. Maybe he just needs to stop pretending to be someone he’s not and start embracing who he really is: a thinker, a builder, a problem-solver. Someone who sharpens swords, creates strange gadgets, and invents new things.

Then one day, everything changes.

Hiccup encounters a trapped dragon. Not an ordinary dragon, but a Night Fury. Night Furies are known to be incredibly fast, dangerously powerful, and extremely rare. According to Viking law, if you see one, you must kill it on sight.

But Hiccup can’t do it. He raises his knife, then lowers it. Instead of killing the Night Fury, he sets it free.

The dragon, however, can’t fly away. Hiccup soon realizes that the Night Fury’s tail fin is damaged, making flight impossible. Hiccup decides to do something crazy, he builds the dragon a prosthetic tail fin.

Before he can test it, though, he must first do the impossible: earn the dragon’s trust.

As Hiccup spends more time with the dragon he named Toothless, he realizes something that could change everything: dragons might not be the enemy after all. They’re not mindless beasts. In actuality, they’re intelligent and emotional creatures.

This revelation forces Hiccup to question everything his father and his entire community believe. Maybe they’ve been wrong about dragons after all.

Mission: Impossible: The Final Reckoning — Movie Review

Tom Cruise is back as Ethan Hunt in another explosive Mission: Impossible. But this time, he’s not facing a terrorist leader, a contract killer, or a rogue double agent. This time, the enemy is far more dangerous, unpredictable, and unrelenting, an artificial intelligence known only as the Entity.

Ethan’s mission, should he choose to accept it, is to stop the Entity from unleashing global destruction, erasing all of humanity. The only way to stop it is to retrieve its source code, which lies at the bottom of the ocean in a sunken Russian submarine called the Sevastopol.

There are just some problems: Ethan doesn’t know where the Sevastopol is, how to reach it, or what to do with the source code once he finds it. And time is running out. With every passing minute, the Entity grows smarter and more powerful, slipping deeper into the world’s nuclear systems and becoming nearly impossible to contain.

To make matters worse, an old enemy is after him. Gabriel (Esai Morales) is back. And he will stop for nothing to gain control of the source code before Ethan can.

As always, Ethan assembles his loyal, tight-knit team. Benji Dunn (Simon Pegg), the ever-reliable tech field agent. Luther Stickell (Ving Rhames), a veteran hacker. And Grace (Hayley Atwell), a skilled thief turned IMF operative.

Together, they devise a high-stakes plan to outmaneuver both Gabriel and the Entity. It’s not perfect, and unexpected problems always seem to find them, but if there’s one thing this team knows, it’s to find a way.

Society of the Snow: Movie Review

If there was a director who gets lowkey attention but can make big action and emotional scenes work, it's J. A. Bayona. One look at his filmography shows that he loves large-scale stories: A Monster Calls, The Impossible, and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. His latest is about the Uruguayan 1972 Andes flight disaster, titled Society of the Snow. It's Spain's entry for Best International Feature Film at this year's Oscars.

Society of the Snow is the unbelievable true story of the Uruguayan rugby team called the Old Christians. After departing from Uruguay, the plane carrying 40 passengers and five crew members crashed in the snowy Andes mountains. The Chilean Air Search and Rescue Service (SARS) launched a rescue mission afterwards. But they stopped after 8 days, believing that everyone on board was dead.

By some miracle, half of the passengers actually survived the crash. As they wait for rescue, their numbers dwindle down from 45 to 33 to 16. They managed to survive the unforgivable cold, hunger, and avalanches for 72 days by being resourceful and doing most of the things we would consider taboo: cannibalism.

Bayona's skill at telling big stories is clear from the very beginning until the very end. He first made sure that we understood the vastness of the Andes by showing its big mountains covered in snow. The sight let us know that what they've gone through was nothing short of a miracle. A little while later, there's a great plane crash sequence. The sounds stand out here, as he combines the unsettling sounds of metal and wind with great effect. The movie then focuses on the survivors, showing all the terrible things that can happen to them while they're stranded in the middle of nowhere. He ended it all with a heartfelt goodbye and reunion, which is something he seems to have mastered since his debut film, The Orphanage.

A young man named Numa Turcatti (Enzo Vogrincic Roldán) takes us through all these ups and downs in the mountains. The decision to focus on him and his role in the whole crash is both a mystery. His name isn't as well-known as that of Nando (Agustín Pardella) and Roberto (Matías Recalt). Nando Parrado lost two-thirds of his family members in the crash. Meanwhile, Roberto Canessa is the interim doctor for the survivors. They're the two people tasked with hiking the western rim to Chile. It makes a lot more sense to center the story on them.

Even so, many things about Society of the Snow are great, from the make-up to the script. But a big disaster movie like this can always feel so small on film. There's no justification for the scale of this tragedy. The longevity of their stay feels all too short, and the decision to eat their dead friend and family isn't as convincing. Despite all that, I guess the level of realism put into it makes the whole thing so interesting and good.

4/5

In My Mother's Skin: Movie Review

Kenneth Dagatan’s folk horror movie shows the violence and oppression caused by war through the eyes of an innocent child.

It’s the end of World War II. Aldo (Arnold Reyes) and his family live in peace in a country mansion, away from all the fighting. Until one day, a man named Antonio (Ronnie Lazaro) shows up with a group of Japanese soldiers. There are rumors that the family is hiding Japanese gold, and they’re willing to do everything to get it. Aldo believes that things will turn for the worse for his family if they don't get Antonio's gold, so he leaves his family behind to ask the Americans for help.

As soon as Aldo leaves, things do get worse, but not because of Antonio. Ligaya (Beauty Gonzales), the family matriarch, suddenly got sick with an unknown illness, prompting Tala (Felicity Kyle Napuli) and Bayani (James Mavie Estrella), the couple's children, to look for help. But what they found instead were dead bodies and a kind-looking, Cicada-like fairy (Jasmine Curtis-Smith) that can apparently grant wishes.

Alice (Max Eigenmann) said this line over and over again to people around her as they became more persistent in convincing her to stop the abortion.

Alice is 40 years old; she struggles to balance her responsibility as the team leader of their humanitarian mission in Marawi with her delicate pregnancy. Her boyfriend, Ben (Vance Larena), is a carefree and alcoholic young man without any stable job. Even more so, he’s abusive and manipulative.

Leonor Will Never Die: Movie Review

Leonor (Sheila Francisco) loves action movies. She loves to watch it, write it, and direct it. She’s so obsessed with it that she would rather buy pirated DVDs than pay their electric bill. Of course, it is an odd obsession for an old woman. But this craze for actioners might’ve cultivated from the death of her eldest son Ronwaldo (Anthony Falcon) who died in an on-set accident. His death has affected her relationship with her family especially with her second son, Rudie (Bong Cabrera). 

In Leonor’s mundane life, nothing can give her the adrenaline and the serotonin like a good story of a macho man fist-fighting goons and saving a damsel in distress. So one day, she decided to enter a film competition. She pulls out an old chest, and inside it is an unfinished screenplay entitled "Ang Pagbabalik ng Kwago" (The Return of the Owl).
