  James Gunn’s   Superman   had one job — to kickstart a brand-new DC Universe with clarity, confidence, and purpose. What we got instead is a quirky, overstuffed spectacle that bounces between heartfelt sincerity and Saturday morning cartoon mayhem, never quite settling into a rhythm strong enough to lift this hero off the ground. On paper, it all sounds promising:   Superman   skips the tired origin story and dives straight into Clark Kent’s third year as Earth’s protector. David Corenswet brings a sincere, wide-eyed charm to the role — equal parts Boy Scout and alien outcast — while Rachel Brosnahan’s Lois Lane is, without a doubt, the best we’ve ever seen on screen. Their chemistry crackles, especially in the film’s most grounded scene: a sharp interview that pits Lois’ hard-nosed journalism against Superman’s unwavering optimism. In that moment, you can almost feel the movie it   could   have been — thoughtful, conflicted, real. Unfortunately, tho...

Tom Cruise’s latest blockbuster,  Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning , continues its high-octane dominance at the Chinese box office, securing the No. 1 spot for the second weekend in a row. According to box office consultancy Artisan Gateway, the Paramount action film earned RMB70.7 million (approximately $9.8 million) from June 6–8, 2025. This brings the movie’s cumulative gross in China to a solid $46.9 million. Notably, Imax screenings contributed $1.7 million of the weekend haul, lifting the film’s Imax total in the region to $8.7 million. The film, billed as the eighth installment of the Mission: Impossible franchise and potentially Tom Cruise’s final outing as Ethan Hunt, has remained a strong performer amid a relatively quiet release window with limited competition from new wide releases. Chinese Fantasy and Hollywood Action Round Out the Top Five In second place for the weekend was local animated fantasy  Endless Journey of Love , which brought in $4.2 million...

  "Deadpool & Wolverine" takes audiences on a whirlwind adventure that stitches together the slapstick of classic comedies with the outlandish spectacle of superhero extravaganzas. Directed by Shawn Levy, this film not only resurrects Hugh Jackman's Wolverine alongside Ryan Reynolds' irreverent Deadpool, but it also joyously skewers the very fabric of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) with a cheeky grin. May Contain Spoilers Now streaming on JustWatch, "Deadpool & Wolverine" kicks off with a promise of mayhem, and it delivers just that, wrapped in a meta-commentary so thick it might just need its own decoder. Hugh Jackman returns as the beloved Wolverine, coaxed out of retirement not by a dire threat to the world, but by a multiverse caper that can only be described as quintessentially Deadpool. The plot, a zany concoction involving Deadpool's mishaps with the Time Variance Authority and his multiverse-spanning shenanigans, serves more as a bac...

  At the star-studded New York City premiere of "It Ends With Us," director Justin Baldoni hinted at passing the directorial baton to none other than Blake Lively for the anticipated sequel. This shift could bring a fresh perspective to the continuation of Colleen Hoover's compelling narrative. During the premiere, Baldoni expressed his belief that there are more suited individuals for directing the next chapter of the story, confidently naming Blake Lively as his top choice. This endorsement not only highlights Lively's readiness to step into a directorial role but also underscores her deep connection to the project. Lively, 36, originally starring as Lily in this heart-wrenching drama, might bring a unique insight into the sequel, having deeply engaged with the character's challenges and growth. The film, based on Hoover’s 2016 novel, dives into the turbulent and often painful dynamics of Lily’s relationships, particularly focusing on her struggle with an abusiv...

Marvel Studios just dropped a bombshell with the first trailer for "Captain America: Brave New World," and it's packed with military thrills, high-flying action, and unexpected twists! Premiering in February and directed by the acclaimed Julius Onah ("Luce"), this film marks a thrilling return for Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) as the iconic shield-bearer. Set against the backdrop of the White House and the vast Pacific, the teaser unveils a cinematic spectacle where loyalty and duty collide spectacularly. The new President, "Thunderbolt" Ross (portrayed by Harrison Ford stepping in for the late William Hurt), makes a bold proposition to Sam: transforming the Captain America role into an official military position. This dramatic shift challenges Sam, previously an independent military contractor, now grappling with the weight of his new identity post-"The Falcon and Winter Soldier." But the plot thickens as Isaiah Bradley (Carl Lumbly), a Black ...

It is one of the best boxing movies I've ever watched.  While the movie "The Fighter" by Mark Wahlberg was great, there is nothing in comparison to Southpaw. JAKE GYLLENHAAL IS ON A ROLL He has been very good in his previous movies like Nightcrawler, Enemy and Prisoners. Definitely one of those actors that deserve to win some award. Although it hasn't materialize, his continuous impressive role seems to suggest the awards will come some day. Maybe for Southpaw? Well, firstly, it was impressive to see his physics, especially this was a movie done after his Nightcrawler role, where he lost a lot of weight to look very skinny. But in Southpaw, Jake Gyllenhaal has transformed himself into a jacked, ripped beast, gaining 15 pounds of pure muscle. Jake Gyllenhaal as Billy Hope His body showed the amount of effort and time he spent in the gym but Southpaw is more than just a boxing match. The scars, tattoos and slurred voice doesn't even do justice to the e...

You know a movie is bad when you can't wait for it to end....and that's how bad Night at the Museum 3: Secret of the Tomb is for me. Night at the museum 3...same as before and it's boring If you have watched the first two movies of Night at the Museum, expect yourselves to re-watch it again at The Secret of the Tomb, because it was the same....only worse off.  And while it's a farewell to Robin Williams, this movie is a real flop and disappointing. There is a lot of effort to create the sort of farewell effect that caught us all in Toy Story 3, but here, the Night at the Museum just failed miserably....at 90 minutes, the movie is short yet I felt like I can't wait for the movie to end just as soon as it got started. The opening of the movie bring us to Egypt....when the magical tablet was discovered for the first time, and a warning that "it will come to an end"...that the magical spell that will come to an end...which then bring us to the pre...

I'm not sure about you guys but I find the movie funny and entertaining. It wasn't the best that I expect but it's good.  I'm sure there are a lot of critics out there but this is by far the best Ninja Turtle's movie.  Watch the Turtles in action This new Michael Bay's produced movie is one of those movies that you can watch 10 years from now and still be entertained....flashy, funny, energetic and "explosions" though it's not as much as what expect from Bay...it's what is expected from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles...silly, action, funny. But before we got into the movie, here are one thing that you will find how the movie has deviate from the comic. If you're a comic fan, you probably would not like the changes to it...but if you're cool with it, most likely you will be okay with the movie. MOVIE: According to the movie, the turtles and Splinter were "lab rats" in Sach's experiment with the ooze. The turtl...

I would say that I'm quite impress with the movie Transcendence although there are not many good reviews about the movie. In fact, Rotten Tomatoes only give Transcendence 18%; while on average the movie is getting slightly below average rating. The movie is about Doctor Will Caster (Johnny Depp); a foremost researcher in the field of Artificial Intelligence who was at that time working on a machine that combines the collective intelligence of everything ever known with the full range of human emotions. His work made him famous and at the same time made him the prime target of anti-technology extremists who will do whatever it takes to stop him. An attempt of assassination finally become the catalyst for him to succeed in his experiment, by becoming a participant in his transcendence. In attempt to re-create Will, his wife, Evelyn and best friend Max Waters upload Will to the digital world, using the same concept of Will's machine, PINN - and eventually they succeeded.  ...

One of the movie that I watched recently in the cinema is 300: Rise of an Empire and overall, I would rate the movie average. The movie consists a lot of "blood splashing" scene as well as slow-mo during the fight, which somehow irritates me most of the time. For those who watched 300 before, Rise of an Empire is not actually the sequel to 300; but rather it tells the story before "300" as well as after King Leonidas and the a force of 300 discipline and committed Spartans were slaughtered by the Persians at Thermopylae - and Themistocles uses the death of these 300 Spartans as the martyr to unite the Greece in attempt to stop the invading Persian forces led by the mortal-turned-God Xerxes and and Artemisia, vengeful commander of the Persian navy.

If you have yet to watch "Frozen" in the cinema, now it is the time to get the Blu-ray version of the movie from Amazon and I personally think that Frozen is nice with catchy soundtracks - I like most of the soundtracks from Frozen and especially like Let It Go by Idina Menzel and kinda addicted to "Do You Want To Build a Snowman?" - the song that was sang by the three phases of Anna, from child to teenager and finally grown up. Frozen tells about the two princesses in the Kingdom of Arendelle - Elsa and Anna, with Elsa the special one with the power to create snow and ice. One evening while the two princesses were playing, Elsa accidentally hit Anna with an ice blast knocking her unconscious. and turning several strands of her hair white. Upon discovering this, the King and Queen rush them to the group of trolls where Anna was "healed" and the troll warn them that the power that Elsa possess can be used to destroy as well if Elsa did not learn to c...

Yesterday I watched Lone Survivor with a friend after I read that the movie is based on a true story written by a retired United States Navy SEAL, Marcus Luttrell on the Operation Red Wings - and I got to admit, I really like the movie. The actions are so real, the pain, the injury are so real until sometimes I have to bite my teeth watching. The movie begins by introducing the main casts of the story, Marcus Luttrell (Mark Wahlberg), Michael 'Mike' Murphy (Taylor Kitsch), Danny Dietz (Emile Hirsch), and Matt 'Axe' Axelson (Ben Foster) in the US Military base in Afghanistan and  not long after some brief introduction of the main characters, they were told to go for a briefing on a mission to capture or kill notorious al-Qaeda leader Ahmad Shahd. And so the Operation Red Wings begin with the Marcus Luttrell and team reached the destination but having difficulty contacting the base and the team is expected to have communication problem. The team rest but after som...

The other day while I had nothing much to do, I decided to watch some old movies, preferably the comedy genre. I happened to find this movie: She's the Man . The title sound familiar but I forgot where I saw it before....after googling it, I realized that it was the movie by Amanda Bynes where she impersonate her twin brother so that she could played in the boys soccer team.  Anyway, I never thought the movie would be good but I'm glad I watched it. It was indeed an awesome movie, with a lot of jokes and I got to admit, Amanda Bynes was good. Throughout the entire movie, Amanda Bynes was simply a lovable character.  Bynes plays Viola, the twin sister of Sebastian (James Kirk), who at the start of the movie conveniently sneaks away to London for two weeks without telling anybody. Viola is the star of the girls' soccer team at Cornwall Prep, a school that seems to have enough money to supply every girl with her own soccer team. She thinks she's good enough to play for...

Well, I have never missed on any of the Police Story series by Jackie Chan and I make sure that I did not missed out on the latest one even though there are a lot of negative reviews on the movies. Police Story 2013 is a reboot of the Police Story series, ditching the Chan Ka-Hui persona from the first four Police Story series and Chan Kwok-Wing from the New Police Story. While there are a lot of negative reviews on the movies, I must said....it's actually not that bad. It's just not good enough. First of all, one thing that Jackie really pull out of this movie is to prove movie critic, James Berardinelli who once said of Jackie's style in Police Story as an "action with a smile, not a grimace". In Police Story 2013, it is very heavy on grimacing...in fact, it's probably a bit too much. The movie is "grim and gritty". I tried to avoid any spoiler here...so here's a simple summary of the movie: Jackie Chan plays Mainland Chinese police...

Have you watch The Hunger Games: Catching Fire already? If you have not, you are missing a big thing....but here's the thing...for those who missed The Hunger Games (1st episode) one year ago, I suggest you watch it first before going for this one in cinema...otherwise, you might leave the cinema satisfied, but with a lot of questions in your head.  Game On once more! Anyway, it is unfair to even compare The Hunger Games with movies like Twilight because there is so much more depth in the movie. Forget Thor either because The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is one class above the rest.  This time, there is a wedding gown as well In this episode, the theme centralize around this: "REMEMBER WHO THE REAL ENEMY IS" The movie start picking up not long after “The Hunger Games,” “Catching Fire” features a traumatized Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) preparing to embark on a “Victory Tour” following her “success” in the previous Hunger Games.  She soon discovers that...

Well, when the movie RED first came out on the cinema, I was curious and the movie amazed me. The 2010 movie was awesome, and it was inspired by the limited comic book series of the same name, created by Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner, and published by the DC Comics imprint Homage.  So, when they talk about RED 2, I'm quite excited about the movie. Check out this poster and you know what I mean... RETIRED EXTREMELY DANGEROUS But just as most movies fail to live up the expectation for their first movie, the same happened to the sequel of RED. RED 2 was not bad, but it's just not good. I totally agree with what was mentioned by Justin Change of Variety , "An obligatory sequel that can't quite recapture the sly, laid-back pleasures of its cheerfully ridiculous predecessor." Anyway, I'll keep my review on another time but if you wanna know the synopsis for this movie, please continue reading (spoiler included): While trying to lead a nor...
