Killers of the Flower Moon - A Battle of Greed and Love

The amazing partnership of Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio plus Robert De Niro continues to bring another movie masterpiece called "Killers of the Flower Moon" which I can say one of the best films this year. It also features Lily Gladstone, which I can say did an incredible performance and stole the show. It also stars Jesse Plemons, Tantoo Cardinal, John Lithgow, and Brendan Fraser in supporting roles.

Killers of the Flower Moon centers on the story of the Osage Count Indian murders in the 1920s, which is rooted on the greed that targets the Osage Native Americans who became wealthy because of their oil-rich lands. A story which became a sensation during its time which also reflects the plight and struggles of Native Americans today. 

Though it comes at a surprising length of over three hours, I have some hesitation that I can keep my focus and bladder for the whole duration. But it its very recommended to have an empty bladder as every scene has significance and paced appropriately. 

Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie - Now More Awesome With Powered Up Pups

From the hit children's show of service and rescue puppies, now elevated with a new adventure fit for the big screen. It’s now the second movie from the show and has been a hit with its fans. We know the Paw Patrol is one of the most popular children's shows that targets animal lovers as well as to inspire them to different kinds of professions that deal with rescue and other forms of help. The success of the first movie has indeed paved the way for a sequel and a possible third film.

Meet the women of Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One.

Franchise veteran Rebecca Ferguson, who plays Ilsa Faust, says that of the three Mission movies she’s starred in so far, Dead Reckoning Part One has seen her pull off her most impactful action sequences. “What’s the point in doing a Mission movie if you’re not going to do the odd stunt?” she says. “I think one of the reasons why Mission is such a love of my life is the training. It’s not knowing what I’m in for in the next film. I love the fact that you never know what is going to be asked of your character to train. Whether it is a knife fight or a gun fight or martial arts or perhaps a sword fight, which was introduced in this [film] for me.” 

REVIEW: Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

After so many years, there is still a lot of clamor for transformer movies which rakes in millions of dollars in the box office. Despite having to change some of the lead  human characters,  the real stars are still the transformers.

And with such extensive lore, there are still a lot of stories that can be produced and transformers to be introduced. Though Optimus Prime and Bumblebee remain as crowd favorites for the franchise and should always have an appearance. 

This time we are now introduced to the Maximals in Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, wherein we are also introduced to two new human characters, Noah Diaz and Elena, each being a specialist in their own fields. Maximals take the form of beasts which are bound to protect a certain key that is connected to a big villain in the franchise, Unicron. New favorite autobots for me is Mirage voiced by Pete Davidson, which has that comedic connection and charisma among all of the robotic aliens for the film.

STAND DOWN. Watch the Autobots meet the Maximals for the first time in the new clip “Prime Meets Primal.” Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, the latest from the Transformers franchise from Paramount Pictures, arrives in cinemas across the Philippines June 7.

Director Says "Smile" a Horror Film That Feels Like a Panic Attack

Some horror movies aim to subtly spook audiences. Others try to make viewers squirm in their seats. But filmmaker Parker Finn had a far more ambitious goal in mind when he set out to write and direct his debut feature, Smile. “I wanted to make a movie that felt like a sustained panic attack from start to finish,” he says.

Watch the film’s featurette at https://youtu.be/-U68rvBEev4

The chilling story of a clinical psychiatrist who begins experiencing terrifying and inexplicable occurrences following a bizarre encounter with a patient, Smile was inspired by a short film Finn made in 2020. Titled Laura Hasn’t Slept, the short starred Caitlin Stasey — who also has a memorable role in Smile — and won a Special Jury Award in SXSW®’s Midnight Short category. The 11-minute film generated intense industry buzz around Finn, who successfully pitched a feature version to Paramount Pictures and producers Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey’s Temple Hill Entertainment.

Channing Tatum Masters Physical Comedy in "The Lost City"

Channing Tatum takes on the role of Dash/Alan, the strikingly handsome model who graces the covers of Loretta Sage’s (Sandra Bullock) romance novels, in Paramount Pictures’ new romantic adventure The Lost City (in Philippine cinemas April 20).

Watch the featurette “Leeches Scene” at https://youtu.be/vs2BqKG_2no

Dash is machismo personified: handsome, debonaire, smart, and courageous. But his real-life alter ego, Alan, is, when we meet him, not Dash. But at his core Alan is honest, dependable, and loyal, and against all odds, becomes the hero he always envisioned Dash to be.

Sandra Bullock: A Novelist Turned Adventurer in "The Lost City"

Sandra Bullock has long been drawn to the idea of making an action-adventure film seasoned with comedy, like the classic sweeping adventures she has enjoyed as a moviegoer. So, she decided to produce one, through her production company Fortis Films. And with that, The Lost City is born!

Watch the film’s trailer at https://youtu.be/HXW6dRGAC5g

As expected, the Academy Award winning actor and respected filmmaker aimed high. Bullock recalls, “We knew we were ambitious in what we were trying to pull off… but we also knew we HAD to pull it off. This film wouldn’t work if all the tones in it didn’t intersect seamlessly. The central characters are a shut-in author and a model, neither of whom should be in a jungle or even out in nature. Jungles eat people like them. They should remain in a hermetically sealed building with air conditioning.”

Jungle Won't Be the Same with These Characters of "The Lost City"

Meet the characters of The Lost City in their own individual posters: Loretta (Sandra Bullock), Alan (Channing Tatum), Fairfax (Daniel Radcliffe), Beth (Da’Vine Joy Randolph), (Oscar) Oscar Nuñez and (Allison) Patti Harrison.  This jungle will never be the same!
