Logan Lucky: Movie Review

All in all, I liked the Hillbilly touch to the movie and how strong the characterization was for the main cast. Their plot seemed simple and complicated at the same time and makes one root for the success blue collar little guys who manage to pull off a scheme of this magnitude. It was’t as intense as other heist movies but it held its own in the genre. There was no need for villains or other family issues, just good, just a good old fashioned heist brilliantly executed, filled with tons of good humor.  Plus, Sadie’s surprise for her daddy at the pageant really got me to tear up. Awww!… Read More Logan Lucky: Movie Review

The Open House: Movie Review

All in all, The Open House was a passable horror. Not particularly good or bad. Just passable. The problem was that it focused too much on the buildup but the reveal of the culprit did not really pay off.

It carries very important lessons and a lot of hope for even the most complicated relatrionship. At the heart of every relationship,  be romantic, family, or friendship, at its core is always love, understanding and forgiveness.… Read More Go Back Couple: Kdrama Review

Ang Panday (2017): Movie Review

All in all, Ang Panday wasn’t horrible but gahd, the endless parade of unnecessary scenes to accommodate the number of actors in this movie was ridiculous. By its end, I was confused as to what its real purpose was — to entertain moviegoers or to annoy the hell out of non-die hard fans of Ang Probinsyano like myself. Its definitely leaps and bounds better than the Bong Revilla version though. … Read More Ang Panday (2017): Movie Review
