However, the real magic of the of the film lies with sharing this experience with your young ones and bonding over your common love for this classic story’s enduring message of love, family, friendship and destiny… Read More The Lion King (Live Action): Movie Review
All in all, Aurora was more hype than substance. While it was not entirely bad, I was not blown away by this horror movie. Huge credit though to the cinematography and editing but the pacing was too snail paced to get me excited at any point of the film. So, if you don’t fall asleep from the lengthy dialogue and the depressing cloud that Leana carries around with her everywhere she goes, congrats to you.

In the end, I don’t know if it was a more effective social commentary than a horror. … Read More Aurora: Film Review

I’m a big fan of the Lizquen love team being an avid viewer of their breakout soap Forevermore. I just think these two stars (Liza Soberano and Enrique Gil) have a unique chemistry that translates off screen as well as on. After their teleserye, it came as no surprise that they were given a break… Read More Just the Way You Are: Movie Review
I was very impressed by the film adaptation of Divergent in 2014, that it came naturally for me to wait for the sequel with bated breath. Besides, after reading the book, I was sure that it would be just as badass as the first one. After all, it was the most action packed of the… Read More Insurgent: Movie Review
