With great action sequences comes a great narrative. That is how I would describe Top Gun: Maverick! Last May 20, 2022, I attended the advanced screening of the movie at the newly-reopened IMAX Theatre in SM Megamall and I was sent for a roller coaster ride! Here’s our review of the sequel to an action classic!

REVIEW: Find Your Adventure in Onward
Do you still have the magic, Bingers? In the latest movie from Disney and Pixar, Onward, we’ll realize that we still got the magic, it’s just that no one bothers to do it anymore when there is a much more convenient way. And because of that, we have been so gotten used to the familiar and what’s right in front of us. In the world of Onward where the centaurs, pixies, and elves are no longer how we used to know them, lies an unexpected treasure waiting to be uncovered. We joined the adventure of the Lightfoot brothers and found ourselves falling off our seats from laughing one second and sobbing after.

REVIEW: Descend Into Madness in The Invisible Man
Bingers, answer this: would you rather fear what you can see or fear something that you can’t? Personally, I’d rather see something that I am going to be scared of. With that, at least I know how it looks like and I’ll know whether I still have my sanity in check. You might be wondering why I asked you that. Well, in United International Pictures and Blumhouse’ The Invisible Man, we will witness the descent of a victim into madness. Bingers, it is going to be a bold statement but The Invisible Man is easily one of my favorite among the recent horror movies. Wanna know why? Find out in our review!

REVIEW: Sonic The Hedgehog Breaks The Video Game Curse
Let’s backtrack a little, Bingers. Can you name a videogame turned movie that was a success, or at least fun to watch? Hardly, right? On top of my head was Detective Pikachu but it is debatable because it was inspired by a Pokemon game. The old Mortal Kombat and Mario movies were cringe-worthy that I just decided to throw them at the back of my mind. The recent Assassin’s Creed was so-so. It seems like there really is a curse to video games turned movies, that they are always bound to fail. To be honest, this is not surprising because of the difference in medium. Last weekend, however, I was greatly surprised with Sonic The Hedgehog! To me, it broke the video game curse. Wanna know why? Read our review, Bingers .

REVIEW: Little Women Resonates and Warms The Heart
This is the year of women. On the first quarter of 2020 alone, moviegoers are up for films starring powerful women. Starting with Birds of Prey, which was a great success for an all-female superhero group, and on March we’ll have the female-led Black Widow. But not every women have to wield a sword to show power. In Columbia Pictures’ Little Women, we’ll see that different types of women can make an impact as long as they put their heart and their soul into it. Bingers, here is our review of Greta Gerwig’s adaptation of the beloved novel by LA Alcott, Little Women.

REVIEW: Birds of Prey - It's A Man's World No More
This is a man’s world no more. Warner Bros. Pictures and DC scream women power in Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn! Last Saturday, February 1, Warner Bros. Pictures invited us to the special screening of Birds of Prey at the IMAX Theatre in SM Megamall! Before the usual screening, the studio surprised us with several treats such as the Pink Pudding from M Bakery. This new treat is a mix of their classic Banana Pudding and a Confetti Cake. The banana-dessert-lover in me approves. Now that we’re powered up with a dessert, the night was hyped even more with a dance number to the soundtrack of the movie from Warner Music Philippines. The most exciting surprise that night, however, was the 6-minute preview for the upcoming Christopher Nolan film, Tenet. I barely grasped what was happening but it was too intense, I just know I am in! And now on to the main show. Bingers, here is our review of Birds of Prey: The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn.

REVIEW: Richard Jewell Is More Than Just a Man's Story
Can you imagine the power of media? It’s so powerful it can change people’s mindset over certain things. When used wrong, this power can be used to ruin a person. Yes, we are living in this situation now but even before, this has happened. That’s what was explored in Clint Eastwood’s latest film, Richard Jewell. Richard Jewell is a biopic and a study on the events that changed the life of the man. This true to life movie reflected the terrifying truth about the power of media and how it can turn the public’s perception of a man from hero to villain in a heartbeat. Packed with a strong narrative and impeccable performances, Bingers, here is our take on Warner Bros. Pictures Richard Jewell.

REVIEW: Jumanji: The Next Level Ups The Game
Growing up, the first Jumanji movie was my go-to movie. There wasn’t a weekend that I did not watch it on our VHS. I mean, what is there not to love about it? We have Robin Williams, lions, and a whole new world to explore. There is that special sense of adventure that tickled my fancy. So, when the soft reboot of the movie came out about a decade later, I was a bit skeptical. Jumanji starring Dwayne Johnson and Jack Black? That’s something, right? But boy it did not disappoint and it left me in stitches. The good thing is a sequel to that comes out this year, continuing in on the premise of Jumanji being a broken video game. Was it funny? Bingers, you’d want to read til the end of our review because the movie surprised me with some of its elements!

REVIEW: Dead Kids - When The Games Get Serious
We all have our special high school memories. It is during this period when we try to make memories between our childhood and adulthood, given that it is the last stage before we head into college. This is the time when kings and queens of the batch reigned and the misfits were preyed upon. As Mean Girls once put it, it was a jungle. So, what is up with all these talks about high school? Well, it is the setting for the first Netflix-licensed Filipino film, Dead Kids. And it was one crazy, crazy film! Bingers, we were at the premier of Mikhail Red’s Dead Kids and I must say, it is something not to miss!

REVIEW: Buckle Up for Ford v Ferrari
What do you know about cars? How well do you know your Mustangs or your Maserati? If not much, well hard same! But would you believe me if I say that you don’t have to be car-savvy to enjoy 20th Century Fox’s Ford v Ferrari! Yes, this film by James Mangold starring Christian Bale and Matt Damon will bring us deeper into their characters while taking us along for a ride! Bingers, here is my review of Ford v Ferrari.
REVIEW: Doctor Sleep Will Leave You Sleepless
It has been 39 years since we last entered Overlook Hotel. It has been nearly 40 years since The Shining came out and the classic is still embedded in everybody’s head. Stanley Kubrick did a great job in adapting Stephen King’s novel, despite some controversy between the two creators. One’s taste did not match the other’s but as for us viewers, the film is such a classical masterpiece. So, this just raises the question: Should there really be a sequel? Honestly, if you ask me, I’d say yes. While the first movie was widely loved by many people, it was just a so-so for me. It was classified as a horror movie but I wasn’t scared, not even once! I saw it instead as a creative adaptation of family abuse. And at the core of the story, it truly is. The sequel to it, Doctor Sleep, changed my mind about the movie. It made me appreciate it even more as it dove deeper into its lore. So, Bingers, here is my review of Mike Flanagan’s Doctor Sleep.
