John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019)
Is this a reboot of The Matrix?
My reaction to Matrix references in John Wick movies has gone from "WOAH COOL" to "UGH, ANOTHER ONE". but seriously, John Wick's major homage to The Matrix is being awesome the first movie, gets weird in the second, then goes full-on WTF is happening in the third.
Avengers: Endgame (2019)
Ultimate Fan Service
If you've seen the Marvel movies, this is their Thank You to all the fans. They didn't care much for the logic or story. They just wanted everyone to feel happy.
And they did. I'm happy. Everyone in the cinema was clapping at the end credits.
Searching (2018)
Every parent's worst nightmare
Stellar performance by John Cho. Movie tech done right by using real world sites/apps. A simple premise with several twists and turns. This was one of the best movies released in 2018 and I just found it a year later on Netflix.
La dictadura perfecta (2014)
Too real
This movie felt too real, and I say this from a country thirteen thousand miles away from Mexico.
Hellboy (2019)
Kinda sad I'm giving Hellboy a bad rating
The story/screenplay, I think, caters to those who have read the comics. There were characters that came out of nowhere, with no back story whatsoever. The gore in this movie is overkill, I kid you not, it's going to test how long you can stop your gag reflex. The attempt at humor is worse than your grandpa's jokes. I almost walked out of the cinema an hour into the movie but I stayed hoping for some redemption. Sadly, there was none.
Shazam! (2019)
Parent-approved 👌
Watched this with my 6-yr old daughter and we had lots of fun! I saw her face light up with awe that reminded me of the first time I saw the first Christopher Reeves Superman movie. That moment alone deserved this 9-star rating.
The Highwaymen (2019)
Perfect Side Dish to Bonnie and Clyde
If you're into mob movies, pair this one with Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway's Bonnie and Clyde. If you're a Woody Harrelson fan, pair this with Natural Born Killers. It's a movie you could watch on your Sunday nightcap before starting the week.
Blade Runner 2049 (2017)
Slow, but understandable
Honestly it won't take 3 hours to tell this story, but they had to stick to the pacing and tone of the first movie. You may find yourself checking your phone multiple times into the movie, and not miss a plot point at all
The Dirt (2019)
From a non-fan
If you're into backstage debauchery, it's a fun waste of 2 hours. If you're curious about what made them great musically, you won't get anything from this movie. Entertaining, but felt empty afterwards.
Metro Manila (2013)
If poverty porn and heist movies had a child
If a movie has "Manila" in the title, you're correct to expect poverty porn, but this time the writers made sure to make it worth your while. This is a tale of migrant family who moves from the countryside to the crap-filled slums of the city, then after meeting dubious character after dubious character, decides that moving was a bad decision. Acting was good, especially Jake Macapagal and John Arcilla.
Paskal: The Movie (2018)
Great Southeast Asian Military Movie
I can't recall seeing a Southeast Asian movie like this one, especially with skydiving stunts and submarine scenes. Effective showcase of Malaysia's current military prowess. Story-wise, it's as predictable as action movies from the 1980s.
The Umbrella Academy (2019)
Over-the-top Mutants with Issues Story
A puzzle where all the pieces fall into place at the right time. The soundtrack blends perfectly. Great pacing. The screenplay is so good that even the 2nd-tier antagonists gain character development.
The Dawn Wall (2017)
The Ultimate Bro Movie
A story of friendship, resilience, and surmounting physical, emotional, and mental challenges all at the same time. Awe-inspiring.
Durante la tormenta (2018)
Incredible Time-travel Story
I love time-travel and parallel universe stories, and this one reminded me of "Frequency" (2000) with Dennis Quaid. No spoilers, this is one of the best I've seen. I highly recommend this one.
Triple Threat (2019)
Wasted Potential
Compare this to any Ong Bak, The Raid, or Boyka movies and you'll feel disappointed for the mediocre fight choreography. The fight scenes were still good. Script was bad. Story was bad. The movie is an effective ad for beer though.
Captain Marvel (2019)
You can just watch it for the Stan Lee tribute at the beginning and the post-credits scene
This movie has
1) well-choreographed fight scenes
2) a lot of references for all you 90s kids
3) Guardians of the Galaxy characters
4) Agent Coulson
5) an adorable kitty named Goose
This movie does not have
1) an origin story you've never seen before
2) a Marvel superhero that has flaws and relatable problems
3) the usual Marvel movie humor
She's just too powerful, which I think is the point of the movie.
