Predictable shark fest is supported by B rate actors that just made this unnecessarily uninvolving. There is a good thriller in here, if only Honsou, always a great presence is not relegated to the sideline form most of the flick.

Entertaining sequel to the surprise hit brings you more of the same, with great casts and locale. But it's thunder has been taken by so many series such as 'Emily in Paris', 'Sex and the City' and the like that its potency was a bit lost. Nevertheless, its beloved cast buoyed this flick and made it enjoyable.

Let’s get this right, the critics are clearly way too harsh on this film. As it is, it is a great rendition of the King of Pop’s career, up to 1985, way before any of his controversies really arise. As for its spectacle, it defintelly delivers, recreating the King of Pop’s iconic moments to a tee. Kudos also for the casts, including Jafaar Jackson and Domingo, for delivering some truly great, nuanced performances, in a relatively short running time. Worth a watch and will be a big hit.

Entertaining sequel to the box office hit has all the Nintendo nostalgia that you can want and great production values. However, after two almost back to back sequels, the novelty is starting to wear thin. Still a pretty good watch but not as good as the original.

Entertaining and well made sci fi flick is not as good as The Martian (also from the same author and screenwriter), but good enough to pass your time. It's a bit overlong though at 2,5 hours, which lessened its impact somewhat.

Promising horror thriller has a good concept but lousy execution. It's like everything that is interesting about the flick happens only in the last 12 minutes or so. The bad thing was the casts were actually pretty good.

Occasionally funny sequel / remake / spoof is funny at spots but is so uneven that you just can't take it seriously in any way. Not a bad film due to its energetic casts but not a movie that I want to watch in the Theatre.

Vernbinski was one of the most dependable hit maker back in the early 00's, but went into director hell due to 2 significant flops. He is now back with this quirky flick, which biggest problems is that it puts in so many ideas that it is sort of did not gel together that well in one movie. It is also overlong which hurts this film even more.

Slick 'Heat wannabe' has all the casts that money can buy, but somehow lacked that spark that made that film a classic. The biggest problem is a mismatch between the casts and the tone of the film. If you have these casts and place them in an 'Ocean Eleven' style flick, it would have been so much better. As it is, they got stuck in this brooding, sombre crime thriller that will do well on Prime Video but absolutelly no one will watch on theatres.

Badly directed gangster -scifi flick has a good cast and script but the film making is so amateruish that zapped any enjoyment you can get from the film. No wonder the studio dumped this flick directly to streaming.

Unique action flick is a unique take on a 'John Wick' style flick but with ballerinas (?). Set pieces are set up realistically for better or worse. You just can't expect teenage ballerinas to flight 'kung fu style'. Better than you think it is but not by much

Entertaining flick from Pixar is a good watch but not as great as their previous entries. Mind you for the little ones, there is a particularly scary plot point on the final third that really caught me off guard, bordering on 'horror'.

Entertaining thriller took a left field on its final 3rd that made it a poignant movie that at the very least has a different take on this genre. Worth a watch.

Fast paced knock off of Minority Report is buoyed by 2 good performers, but everything else feel so average in comparison. A streaming movie that you'll forget once you finished it.

Scream 7 has been a troubled project and the end result here, a hodge podge of ideas mixed together in a non sensical way shows you that while yes…while audiences associate Campbell with this franchise, but the previous instalment’s idea to move away for her was on hindsight a good idea. There is simply no story to tell and having the same characters experiencing the same things and making the same ones over and over again became redundant. As is this franchise, which ironically became very thing that it ‘lampooned’ in the past. Unless you are a die hard fan, avoid this installment.

The book is the star here, a surprising hit that somehow resonate with readers. What you have here is a serviceable adaptation of the book, brought some by pretty good casts. Some weird choices for its soundtrack and 'changes' from the book made it more mainstream, but other than that not a bad little thriller.

Entertaining and somehow poignant, sci fi action is meant to be a 'dumb' melding between Predator and 'Metal Gear', yet Ricthson brough a soulful performance into what could have been a 'one note character'. The direction is no slouch either as the flick caught on why Predator or Terminator became such classics: how the $%# can you kill this machine? Netflix in 2026 is essentially killing it, and this is another hit on their ever improving movie library.

Both charismatistic leads can't save this so so action buddy comedy. Interesting locale though which gave it a bit of a plus. Mundane action set pieces though really sink this flick.

Average 'MGM Prime Video' action flick is a star vehicle for Chopra, but this Die Hard meets Pirates felt forced and predictable despite the efforts of its casts. It seems that people should stop giving the Russo brothers these so so projects and let them stick to the MCU.

Predictable buddy action comedy has great chemistry between the 2 charismatic leads and nothing else. There are some surprisingly heart felt moments but the action sequences are unmemoreable. A good stream but nothing else.

Jessie Buckely will win the best actress Oscar. This film is a tour de force of her performance and it's a heartfelt rendition of loss that is better than it ought to be.

It's Gerald Butler Vs a comet. What more can we say? The problem is that you've seen this story many times before.

Oscar bait for sure, this drama shows Skarsgard acting in his native language. Great performances from the rest of the cast (hence, the plethora of Oscars it received). Worth a watch but it's obvously a filler 'nominee'.

Damon and Affleck's little Netflix thriller is better than it ought to be. It's a simple cops and robbers flick, supported by a trully stellar cast that elevates the film way above its material. A great watch.

Amusing little film from Fuller is a change of pace for him, but still entertaining and well produced. Think of it as the Professional meets 'Alice in Wonderland' and you'll get what he is aiming at.

A romcom lvies and dies by its leads and folks, give a rousing welcome to Emily Bader, the successor to such rom com queens such as Meg Ryan and Julia Roberts. She buoyed the picture and has a great chemistry with her co star Blyth. More and more so, Netflix is cementing itself as the best studio out there. The fact that this and premiere series 'His&Hers' was released almost week to week shows the dominance of this streaming behemoth.

More of the same from the Knives Out series still offer a pretty good whodunnit with a stupendous cast, but let me tell you, I found that Craig's Benoit Blanc character is running it's course. And of course, the movie has an astronomic price tag that is not shown on screen.

More of the same from the Avatar series. However, the plot is starting to wear thin and the 'wow' moments are too far and between to sustain the whole movie. Is it time for Cameron to move on? I think so after this installment. Big positive note though: great performances from the ladies: Zeldana may be the best 'mo-cap' actor beside Andy Serkis, while Chaplin does wonder as the villain.

Dissapointing 'sequel' to the hit classic suffers because of the source material itself: it's just not enough material to cover 2 whole movies, with Act 1 of the play infinitelly better than Act 2. As it is, the 1st hour of the movie is a true slog, with materials added to pad its 2 hr running time. The 2nd half is better but it ends somewhat abruptly, with the film assuming that you have seen the original Wizard of Oz a 'million times' before. As it is, still one of the finest musical movie in recent years. Maybe they will release a cut of containing both movies in the future to address this installments weaknesesses.

Highly entertaining entry shows you that Tratchenberg really knows how this franchise should be headed. Great characters, superb set pieces. Surprisingly humorous as well. One of the year's best surprise.

Long awaited sequel to the Disney classic may not be as good as the original, but its a welcome relief for Disney after a string of low performers this year. Worth a watch.

Obvious Oscar bait by everybody involved. It is not as good as it thought it is. It is 'very topical' , that is now obsolete to engage academy voters. But the main problem are having leads, such as Roberts and Edibri who are known (and very good at) for their lighter hearted fares. Not a bad movie but who want to watch this in the cinemas?

Over rated, but still well made movie by the legendary director is filled with great performances adn beautiful craftmanship. Yet it always feel that Anderson is making a '2nd rate' Coen brothers movie more than anything else.

Well made and acted thriller has one big flaw: no clear resolution. Meant to be a statement of some sort but ends up deflating the whole film. Still, worth a watch.

The Elixir is an incredibly well made Indonesian Horror movie, tailored to the international market, with its own version of a Zombie Apocalypse that is interesting to watch. Many viewers criticizes it for its characters 'lapses of logic':haven't they seen a zombie movie before? But hey, this is set in the Indonesian rural area after all. Anyway worth a watch albeit gets repetitive neaar the end.

Materialists is an interesting and well written movie. If you expect a typical 'Rom-Com' from Celine Song, then you will be dissappointed. This is more of a romantic drama more than anything else.

Incredible, love letter by Del toro to the modern classic. Clearly a passion project for the prolific director, the fact that a 'streamer' was the one that gave him the freedom. budget and resources to realise his vision is the biggest irony of all. One of the best movie of 2025.

Ho hum thriller is buoyed by Knightley's performance. While things pick up a bit halfway, it ends up predictably like any Hollywood thrillers of yesteryear.

Better than it ought to be, Tron Ares is a pretty good installment of this franchise. Predicatable plot aside, it's well made, has a killer soundtrack and some very good set pieces.

Entertaining Live Action version of the Dsney classic is actually competently made and has a stronger 'heft' in handling some of its more 'heartfelt' topics. It's still a 'very small movie' but its popular with the Disney crowd.

Unfunny sequel to the classic series is not from a lack of trying from its casts. It's just all the best jokes have been shown in the trailers. Too bad as I was expecting this to be a laugh riot.

Absolutelly great casts and interesting premise can't hide the fact that the flick has a somewhat slower pace for a who dunnit. A great watch on Netflix but I expected so much more.

Ever since his work in Barbarians, I always feel that Cregger's work has always been over praised. Same here with Weapons, which promises a lot but delivers what I refer to a 'so so' denounment. This and Barbarians felt like M Night Shyamalan's works on the later parts of his career. One thing for sure though, he is a pretty good director and that's one of the thing that always elevate his works.

F1 is meant to be formulaic, but the true star is the incredible race sequences and cinemathography, and obviously. it's banging soundtrack. This also cements Kosinski as a true action auteur that delivers what he has done before, an old fashioned star vehicle for his leading man. It will rack in a lot of technical awards in this year's Oscars.

Entertaining reboot is meant to be the start of the DCU. It's partially successful. It's strange that Hollywood always over-corrects when they feel that someting is not working and somehow, I liked Man of Steel much more than this version. There is a sense of awe that is missing on this one, which you can say is on purpose. Not bad, but I expected this to be so much better.

Entertaining live action remake of the animated feature is well made and produced. While it is a scene by scene remake, it is years since I saw the original, so there is nothing sense of deja vu while watching it.

Entertaining but predictable sequel, it's a great entry for Sonic fans. Feels a bit stale though in its third entry, and for sure, I am not the target market for this flick.

I wanted to like this installment, and it got a lot going for it. A great casts with Gareth Edwards on the helm. Supposedly it has Koepp, the original writer of the 1st Jurassic on board. However, once it was released, cracks began to appear. Reviews have been bad, so I skipped it and watched it on VOD. Boy, even now I can see what's wrong with the film. Biggest problem? The plot is atrocious to say the least. It's clear that the project was rushed into production (it was) and you have characters doing absoluttelly stupid and non sensical things. Even the main 'conceit' of the plot was so contrived that you're wondering why the characters needed to be there in the first place. Alas, it's still a big hit. I wish that Universal tries a bit harder next time.

Fantastic Four has a lot riding with it, and thankfully, it delivers to some extent. The production values, spot on casting and some pretty great set pieces made this the best version of the quartet yet. The great thing about it is that it sets a different tone for the MCU. Whereas cosmic set installments were once set in a more comedic tone, thanks to the Guardian of the Galaxy, to the detriments to some story, F4 sets a more awe inspiring tone that at the very least give this flick a sense of wonder that was missing since Endgame. One negative point is that the plot plays everything a bit too safe for my liking.Nevertheless, a return to the MCU's usual quality after some dismal installments as of late.

Boring spy thriller is a star vehicle for the excellent Malek, but offers nothing new to the spy genre. There are better movies out there in comparison.
