  Eraserheads: Combo On The Run 2025

  ★★★★½ Watched 18 Mar 2025

  A well crafted musical documentary that is a must-watch not only for E-heads fans but as a think piece in Filipino popular culture, politics, and history. Making use of a treasure trove of archival footage going way back to the late 80s.

  I, for one, appreciated how the documentary was set against important political moments in our history. It gives the film more relevance as it also serves as a reflection of our history through a once-in-a-lifetime band, whose songs…

  Snow White 2025

  ★★★ Watched 16 Mar 2025

  The film showcases many impressive and catchy musical numbers, you will surely find yourself singing and humming a song or two after seeing the movie. Rachel Zelger truly is an impressive singer and delivered a magical performance befitting a Disney princess.

  Gal Gadot clearly enjoyed playing the evil queen, I think this might have been the…

  Captain America: Brave New World 2025

  ★★★ Watched 12 Feb 2025

  You could see that the film struggled with what were clearly a number of re-writes and re-shoots. The tone and quality of the writing were not consistent. There also seemed to be a lot of info dump and explanation through exposition, it would probably be good to watch Incredible Hulk (2008) before seeing this.

  I did like that they finally included ‘Celestial Island’ in the plot. Seeing Harrison Ford play yet another president reminded me of ‘Air Force One’ and…
