Mad and Furious

Mad Max Fury Road (2015) Review

Cinematography by John Seale

A High Intensity film can easily end up in a bad place but if this movie is aware of its intensity alone, the result might be not what as you expected. Going into this movie you have to understand that it's going to be crazy. Mad Max Fury Road directed by George Miller was undoubtedly one of the greatest action film not only in this year but might be the greatest action film of the decade. It's a movie that lives up to its Title, might be even more crazier than you thought, with an intense non-stop action without exhaustion. This movie holds everything it promises from the start to end, and i must say Its one hell of a ride.

Lost Art

Lost River (2015) Review

Cinematography by Benoit Debie

Ryan Gosling's Directorial debut is full of technicalities and broken poetry, Lost River was indeed the weirdest film i have seen in this year 2015. The movie gives me a very mixed emotions and leaves me a very mixed impression. The film felt like it was dedicated to a persons like me who often prefers the technically and the artistic design of the film over the narrative itself. There's no doubt that Lost River is inconsistent but at same time beautiful. It's a good movie yet a bad film at the same also that leaves a very unsatisfying and unsettling impression to others specially for those normal audiences.

Maggie's Life

Maggie (2015) Review

Cinematography by Lucas Ettlin

Maggie is never was your typical zombie flick, not the one you'd expect to have high intensity of tension, and scare tactics rather it focuses more into humanity of the characters and emotions that surrounds it. You got to give Henry Hobson a credit for his directorial debut for delivering unique idea to the said genre of movie world.

Barber's Tales

Barber's Tales (Mga Kuwentong Barbero, 2013) Review

Cinematography by Carlo Mendoza

It is a great opportunity to us to see award winning indie film that was made by local Filipino film makers. Thankfully GMA News TV decided to celebrate this Film gems that even most Filipinos themselves are not aware that we have this kind of movies. Indie films doesn't always get a chance to have a wide release sadly, Although the movie get its mainstream release it wasn't get any attention by the reason of other bigger films are there. Even if the film got ton of recognition that might be often blinded average Filipino audience that 'Filipino Movies' came only from Mainstream Philippine Cinema though there's so much thing to talk about that. 

Jurassic Park

Jurassic Park (1993) Review

Cinematography by Dean Cundy

Vision is a perpetual concept for every filmmaker, without it there is no goal of visualizing things that coming from their head and heart. A Filmmaker who had a pure enthusiasm on the vision they have mostly done things memorable. Signature of their significant outlook to the film they wanted to create. Steven Spielberg vision comes to life before even Jurassic Park but it was fully establish when he finally got chance to develop something bigger than anyone else would think.
