Black Panther is Marvel Studios' Boldest Film Yet

Dale Palisoc February 19, 2018

10 years. 18 movies. 9 origin stories.

Marvel Studios’ Marvel Cinematic Universe has gotta be one of the strongest movie franchises to date! Through the years, we saw remarkable titles (Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy) and some so-so (looking at you Iron Man 2 and Thor: The Dark World). An introduction of a new titular character is welcomed with a solo movie and there has been some great ones. With no hesitation, I have got to say that Black Panther is the most solid of them all. It may even be Marvel Studios’ finest solo movie yet! Curious? Here are the reasons:

Dale Palisoc January 24, 2018

Every few years or so, we see a memorable musical film. Recently, the most successful ones that I enjoyed binging on are La La Land and Les Miserables. This year, 20th Century Fox gives us, Bingers, a musical film that will not only want us to sing our heart out, dance, but also be inspired! I attended the advanced screening of the film last January 15 at Uptown Mall Cinemas and I fell in love with the movie. With that said, here are five things that you will love about The Greatest Showman! #GreatestShowmanPH

Call Me By Your Name is a Beautiful Tale of Self-Discovery

Dale Palisoc January 22, 2018

Over the years, we have seen countless numbers of film tackling youth, adolescence, growing up, and self-discovery. Each of them portrayed the realities of this phase. While some fumbled, there were also few that succeeded in creating beautiful narratives out of it. Luca Guadagnino’s Call Me By Your Name is one of those that succeeded.

Jumanji: Welcome to The Jungle Roars With Laughter!

Dale Palisoc January 5, 2018

What were you doing in 1995? Me? I was still in my crib trying to learn the alphabets at the age of 3. Coincidentally, Jumanji starring the late Robin Williams came out that year. Despite the age difference, I grew up watching and falling in love with the movie! It has everything- action, drama, adventure, and most of all, comedy! To not much of my surprise, the movie received a sequel 22 years later. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle takes on the myth and gives it a contemporary vibe.

Three Reasons Non-Fans Should See Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Dale Palisoc December 15, 2017

Let’s admit it. Not everyone is a Star Wars fan, very much like not everyone is a Potterhead. That’s not a problem at all. In fact, I think that is interesting. To be honest, before Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, I was not a fan of the franchise. The story of the film then cemented my love for the narrative. Now that Star Wars: The Last Jedi is out, you can’t help but miss out on the film that everybody is talking about! Worry not because here are three reasons why you should still see the biggest movie of the year even if you are not a fan!

Disney•Pixar's Coco Hits Too Close to Home

Dale Palisoc November 10, 2017

We all loved Disney•Pixar movies for their outstanding storytelling, groundbreaking plots, and incredible animation. Every movie is great on its own. Who would have thought that a movie about talking marine animals could be a hit or a house filled with balloons can make us sob? Apparently, for the animation company, the sky is the limit. Nothing can stop them, not even death. This is proven true in their latest film Coco, based on the Mexican tradition Dia de las Muertos or Day of the Dead.

Thor: Ragnarok Brings a New Brand of Humor

Dale Palisoc October 22, 2017

Marvel movies are a hit among fans for a number of reasons: the overarching stories, the character, and its humor. These films are the true definition of a comic book movie: fun. From Avengers to Guardians of the Galaxy, different directors put their own flavor to their films while still keeping the fun vibe of each. For the third outing of the Norse god, Kiwi director Taika Waititi brings in a new brand of humor in Thor: Ragnarok. Read more about Thor: Ragnarok Brings a New Brand of Humor …

Blade Runner 2049 Movie Review

Dale Palisoc October 10, 2017

Expectations are high for the 30-year-in-the-making sequel to Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner. The film was highly advanced for its time when it came out making it one of the tent poles of sci-fi films. Surprisingly, despite its smart plot and visually stunning imagery, it did not immediately receive the success it deserves. Unfortunately, it appears that the sequel, Blade Runner 2049, is experiencing the same. I, for one, is a fan of Denis Villeneuve’s work at the sequel, and let me list down some of the reasons why you should see Blade Runner 2049.
