My attention seems to have been caught by the world of moving pictures - the cinema.
For me, a good film should have 3 key elements: 1) entertainment 2) art, and 3) impact. Of course, a film has to be entertaining to a viewer. It should be worth your time in the couch. Yet, a good film must maintain a certain form of art, which may be expressed in sound, visuals, etc. An artistic film is the expression of the beautiful in forms of synchronized visual and auditory elements. In right dosages, these elements should ignite an emotion, whether good or bad) to the viewer; at least, something must be felt while watching, and that something should linger even after the movie is over.
The impact of a film is obviously subjective. Here is a list of movies I have watched and given a considerably high rating of 8 to 10.
Ratings of 9 and 10 are highly recommended and should not be missed by the avid film-goer.

The Lease (2018)
Horrible acting
8 December 2018 - 4 out of 4 users found this review helpful.
Cheesy and intensely horrible acting! I watched this at a film festival and I was laughing and shaking my head for the gross inaptitude of this film. It was so amateurish! Somebody give the son an acting lesson please!

BuyBust (2018)
Ripoff with a twist
6 August 2018 - 3 out of 7 users found this review helpful.
Review: It's 90% goose chase/stabbing/gun-firing, shouting, gore, 10% storyline. It's an outright massive ripoff from Indonesia's The Raid. Exciting and suspenseful at first, but midway I got bored with all the stabbing and gunfiring and silly chases. Anne's character didn't get the necessary development.
Good points:
- amazing 3-minute one-shot sequence near the finale
- gore scenes are nicely done
- the finale is surreal, goosebumps! Trese katao lang ba talaga?? Love it!
