INCREDIBLES 2 (2018) - FILM REVIEW

Incredibles 2 (2018) PG | 1h 58min | Animation, Action, Adventure | 13 June 2018 (Philippines)  For years, Pixar focused on original films, ignoring the sequel trend so prevalent in children’s entertainment. Sure, there were two sequels to “Toy Story,” but that was the exception. Now, the company regularly alternates original projects like “Inside Out” with sequels to “Cars,” “Monsters Inc.,” and “Finding Nemo.” But even as critics bemoaned the sequelitis that inflicted the company, there was always a caveat. “No more sequels...well, may

#REVIEWSATURDAY - HEREDITARY (2018) - FILM REVIEW - BEST HORROR MOVIE OF THE YEAR

Hereditary (2018) R | 2h 7min | Drama, Horror, Mystery | 20 June 2018 (Philippines)  Creepy beyond belief, "Hereditary" is one of those movies you shouldn't describe in detail, because if you do, it will not only ruin surprises but make the listener wonder if you saw the film or dreamed it. The movie sustains a throb of dread throughout its first 90 minutes, and its final 30 are off-the-rails in the best way. Writer/director Ari Aster structures the tale so that it’s hard to be sure if the uncanny ev

211 (2018) R-13 | 1h 26min | Action, Drama, History | 30 May 2018 (Philippines)  This movie begins in war-torn Afghanistan, where a dweeby post-yuppie (you can tell by the wire-rimmed glasses) paces in a trailer while his female assistant sits before a computer. Stuff is getting real, you can tell by the sound of her furious typing and the “funds transferring” window on the computer screen. That’s a heck of an operating system the machine has, letting you continue

#REVIEWSATURDAY - HEARTS BEAT LOUD (2018) - FILM REVIEW

Hearts Beat Loud (2018) PG-13 | 1h 37min | Drama, Music | 8 June 2018 (USA)  The modest scope of "Hearts Beat Loud," a new film directed by Brett Haley, which he co-wrote with Marc Basch, is its strongest point. It's refreshing to watch a film that doesn't feel obligated to go for the brass ring (of emotion, or social commentary, or even plot). Low-key scenes play out in a casual way, with simply drawn characters eloquently filled in by the talented cast. There's
