Reel Review: Creed!

12.09.2015 – Creed is a spinoff from the Rocky films, but this movie is something special for those who follow the sport boxing. The feel and the thematic story is like the original Rocky with more focused of course to Adonis Creed. There have been films aside from Rocky are set with narrative centered on the sport of boxing. In reality is a difficult life many fighters go through life and it’s no different when the illegitimate son of a former fighter trying to find his own way.

Reel Review: Point Break!

12.06.2015 – Point Break is a remake of the classic 1991 film that expands its element of surfing to extreme sports. The original was more of the story that happened in the surfing community unlike this new film that’s straight extreme sports. What’s new incorporated to the film is the extreme sports itself that shows how the characters defy the human condition. It is what the film is all about and maybe more that’s certainly visual spectacle for those into action films out there.

Reel Review: Trainwreck!

08.26.2015 – Trainwreck was already been released to a wide audience since July 17th in North America and I thought this won’t make it to the Philippines. But as they say “never say, never” and I haven’t read or seen the critical review for this film. To those hoping to catch this film it’s only being released in limited theaters, which is exclusively for Ayala Malls Cinemas beginning today. Rarely catch American produced rom-coms but I want to see how LeBron James’ performance turns out.

Reel Review: Inside Out.

08.20.2015 – “Inside Out” has been long overdue to be shown in the Philippines, and there has been a lot of good news about this feature animated film. It has been released two month ago and Australia was one of the few to have it in June. The last country who’ll probably see this one is China set to be shown on October 1st. But regardless of the screen date those who have first seen it have given their thoughts how the film has success despite the challenges regarding the complex narrative.

Reel Review: Rogue Nation!

07.30.2015 – “Rogue Nation” the fifth instalment from the “Mission Impossible” film series was definitely a step back at the same time inventive for what the Impossible Mission Force is all about now as a franchise. The spy genre films has been in abundance this year, but this one seems to be intelligent than the last one. Just like Ethan Hunt the film is one step ahead of its other genre related films that defined never quite impossible.

Reel Review: Minions!

07.08.2015 – The Minions spins off from the Despicable ME animated featured films with the success in 2010 and 2013 this little pill shaped, gibberish speaking yellow-skinned sort of creatures are out to take out the world in the big screen. This is their breakout from Gru’s lair into the great unknown and this is not just a spin off it’s an origin sort of prequel story how they came to be. This more like a retcon of how they where created ignoring that part where Gru actually created them.
