When the teasers and trailer popped up a few months ago, it stirred the internet and television viewers’ expectations: is it a supernatural horror film? Is it a love story? Not knowing what it is about also had us formulating theories and creating stories in our heads. Nevertheless, this film

Get Out
An addition to the many great horror films with socially conscious themes, Get Out is a film worthy of everyone’s viewing. Rich with thrills, a budding mystery, and a sharp script, this intense debut feature from writer-director Jordan Peele has all its hype well-deserved and its enormous success duly-earned. The
Always Be My Maybe
Director Dan Villegas (English Only Please, The Breakup Playlist, and most recently Walang Forever) continues his magical streak of directing hit romantic comedies for the masses – this time starring Gerald Anderson and Arci Muñoz. In Always Be My Maybe, not only do we feel the sweetness that a budding
Spotlight
This could very well be one of the biggest (in both size and star power) all-ace ensembles of 2015 and, with the direction, narrative and talent involved, Spotlight did not fail our expectations. Spotlight, which premiered at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival, is a thriller-like, human interest drama that highlights the true
The Big Short
Adam McKay, best known for his absurdist comedies like Anchorman, The Other Guys, and Talladega Nights, puts aside the usual screwball tactic and directs the living daylights out of this black comedy with a rather depressing undertone about the 2007 sub-prime mortgage meltdown that also led to the global economic
No Escape
The latest from John Erick Dowdle, the master behind the Quarantine franchise and last year’s hit As Above, So Below is back with the latest political action thriller, No Escape. This movie stars Owen Wilson and Lake Bell (who are venturing into new ground as they are well-known doing comedies
Trainwreck
Judd Apatow’s latest flick delivers laughs, tears and often engaging anti-romantic banter. Needless to say, an eye-turning performance from comedienne (and co-creator) Amy Schumer. Trainwreck is almost arguably any millennial’s description of a phase in their lives. In the movie we see Schumer play Amy, a “work hard, play hard”
Mad Max: Fury Road
Madder than mad Leave it to George Miller to amp up the action and insanity (no pun intended) for the fourth installment of his high octane franchise. Mad Max: Fury Road does not disappoint. Coming in second to Pitch Perfect 2, this action film raked in $109 million on its
It Follows
David Robert Mitchell‘s It Follows is a nightmarish vision executed in glorious mumblecore perfection. Dare we say it, this little, ambiguous horror flick could very well end up as a cult classic because it did so many things right and exceeded viewers’ expectations. Its initial release at the 2014 Film Festival
Get Hard
There has never been a more intentionally offensive and crude buddy comedy in recent memory than Etan Cohen’s Get Hard. Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart are two of the most bankable working Hollywood comedians as of late. Though the former has been in countless movies for much longer than the
Unfriended
Skype-ing with friends will never be the same again after you see Levan Gabriadze’s techno-horror film ‘Unfriended’.
