“Without Remorse” review: a real tear-jerker
What’s supposed to be an adrenaline-pumping experience got me in tears–of disappointment. Without Remorse is a movie that has huge potential but was weighed down by a generic plot–actually, it was a frail screenplay. Based on the 1993 Tom Clancy novel of the same name, Stefano Sollima’s action thriller was a disappointing end result of a […]
Charlize Theron makes “The Old Guard” more than good
In November 6, 2001, the Joss Whedon’s fictional heroine Buffy Summers is on patrol at a nearby cemetery while singing about her frustrations–her lack of motivation and purpose; how she’s just going through the motions. She’s weary but has no choice but to carry on with her Slayer duties because… what else can she do? […]
“Little Women” is anything but a small movie
There is nothing little about Greta Gerwig’s adaptation of the classic Louisa May Alcott novel of the same title. “Little Women” is packed with so much energy, its impact is more than nostalgia; it’s able to give us a glimpse of both the systemic issues that still plague our society and parallelisms between us and […]
“Birds of Prey” is a fun, entertaining watch
You’d have to think about it minutes (or hours) after Cathy Yan’s “Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)” before it dawns on you (at least for me) that it’s more than the typical women empowerment-themed flicks wrapped in a fun, sexy package. It’s actually a cunning way of addressing long-held […]
“1917” offers a unique and immersive take on war films
The second the camera started moving slowly—drawing back from a shot of the blue sky, revealing two young soldiers taking a rest on grassy ground—it was clear that we’re in for a ride.It kept on going. Slowly, at first. Making a few short pauses, and then gathering speed during tense moments in the film until […]
“Cats” has one good thing going for it: its singers
Surely we’d expect to have at least one prominent musical artist to be featured in the film adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s hit musical Cats, which is why seeing American Idol alum and Academy Award-winner Jennifer Hudson as Grizabella previously in trailers was a pleasant surprise. But the filmmakers had another treat: casting country superstar Taylor Swift […]
“Malamaya” could have been really good
It’s quite difficult to not compare Malamaya to Belle Douleur because both feature middle-aged women involved in a May-December affair. And halfway through the movie another reason became evident: it was not as good as the other one. And that is a little bit disappointing because the movie could have been really good. Sunshine Cruz makes a comeback as […]
