Starring the OG Karate Kid Ralph Macchio, Jackie Chan, and American Born Chinese's Ben Wang, Karate Kid Legends centers on Li Fong, played by Wang, as he moves with her mother to New York City to live a new life, only to get bullied by someone who claims to be the town's karate champion.

Seeing Ralph Macchio and Jackie Chan joining forces in this newest Karate Kid movie gave viewers that No Way Home feeling, but this is more than just their dream collaboration between the two actors. This movie is all about finding something to believe in and passing it to the future. Forging a new future and honoring the past is what made this newest Karate Kid chapter unique from start to finish.

What a way to conclude a month of Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage with this newest chapter of The Karate Kid saga that blends kung fu and karate with two legendary actors forging a new legend out of the American Born Chinese you know. Ain't no Spider-Man No Way Home, but it's by no means one of the best movies to watch before summer begins.

Mission: IMPOSSIBLE - The Final Reckoning
Mission: IMPOSSIBLE
The Final Reckoning

Action star Tom Cruise steps in for the final time as IMF agent Ethan Hunt in this final installment of the Mission: Impossible saga that takes place after the events of Dead Reckoning.

DOOM: The Dark Ages

The creators of the Doom games envision what Doom would be like if it were set in medieval times. This is their answer.

DOOM: The Dark Ages (Xbox)


DOOM: The Dark Ages serves as a prequel to the DOOM remake saga that began with DOOM (2016) and continued with DOOM Eternal. This game delves into the secret origin of the Doom Slayer's rage as players combat countless hordes of demons during medieval times.

Featuring id's largest and most expansive levels to date, The Dark Ages allows players to explore through castles, forests, dungeons, and even spaceships as they vanquish against the legions of Hell by all means necessary. There could be hidden areas to find out for yourself, so be ready with everything you've got. The riskier it gets, the more rewarding the game's going to be.

As a DOOM for all slayers, The Dark Ages features a customizable difficulty setting, allowing seasoned veterans and newcomers to personalize their gameplay by just how difficult the enemy AI will going to be and others.

In addition to the iconic DOOM weapons, including the Super Shotgun, DOOM: The Dark Ages introduces a brutal new arsenal, featuring weapons like the Shield Saw. This weapon not only provides defense against enemy attacks, but it can also deliver deadly physical strikes. Mastering the Shield Saw is essential for effectively overcoming the relentless demon hordes.

Even in medieval times, it’s the DOOM fans who have been enjoying the series since the 2016 reboot and DOOM Eternal. This installment will overshadow Darksiders and Elden Ring in no time. For those seeking one of the deadliest games of 2025, look no further than this one.

Marvel's Thunderbolts*

The Marvel Cinematic Universe's 2025 escapade continues with its next installment, where the deadliest rivals band together for a chance to redeem themselves, proving they can still save the world even without the Avengers.

Marvel's Thunderbolts*
Marvel's Thunderbolts*

Who are the Thunderbolts*? The Winter Soldier Bucky Barnes, Yelena Belova, Red Guardian, Ghost, John Walker, and Taskmaster are the deadliest rivals from the MCU that formed the said crew trying to put their past sins behind them and prove that they will risk everything to save the world that was reeling from the aftermath of the Infinity War.

Consider them the Marvel equivalent of DC's Suicide Squad. Like the Suicide Squad, they are a group of villains recruited by the U.S. government in a desperate attempt to save the world, no matter the cost. This often involves resorting to extreme violence against any threats that stand in their way.

Filled with a dark sense of humor, it's great to see MCU's deadliest rivals butting heads, figuring out how to save the world if the Avengers were nearly wiped out in the Infinity War. Still, in the end, they prove that if they can't do it, nobody can.

Summer arrives early with the latest installment of the MCU. Filled with excessive violence, dark humor, and classic Marvel moments, this movie strikes not twice but too many times.

Ultraman Arc THE MOVIE:

Ultraman Arc THE MOVIE: Choujigen Daikessen! Hikari to Yami no Arc, the true final mission of Ultraman Arc sees Arc, Yuuma, and the SKIP team receive a warning from a shadowy alien stopping by, regarding threats from unknown worlds. Among them is the deadliest threat of all; Gil Arc.

This final adventure tests the bonds between Yuuma and Arc to the absolute limit as they battle against the deadliest creatures from the unknown, including Gil Arc. From the suspense, the thriller, and the heroic battle scenes, this movie shows the true strength between Yuuma Hize, Ultraman Arc, and the SKIP team against all odds.

You should all deserve a group hug after witnessing the true end of Ultraman Arc's mission. As always, even though Arc's story has truly ended, the Ultraman New Generation universe will continue. No one knows yet but watch for it.

Marvel's Captain America: Brave New World

A brave new Captain America has entered the MCU battlefield as Marvel Studios kicks off 2025 with their latest chapter, where the new generation of Captain America confronts a different kind of "red scare."

Marvel's Captain America: Brave New World
Marvel's Captain America: Brave New World

With Anthony Mackie taking over the shield as the new Captain America, Brave New World stars Harrison Ford as President Thaddeus Ross, Danny Ramirez, Shira Haas, Carl Lumbly, Xosha Roquemore, Giancarlo Esposito, Liv Tyler, and Tim Blake Nelson.

In the first of the 2025 installments of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the new Captain America's meeting with President Ross turned deadly. As tensions escalate to the brink of an all-out war, Captain America races against time to unmask the mastermind behind the attack.

Mackie's new purpose from the Black Falcon to the new Captain America is one of the shockers MCU fans are expecting in this exciting new chapter of the saga, a sign of things to come where familiar faces are repurposed with new roles. Although controversial, it works with huge dividends. 

Regarding the movie, it is about as suspenseful as current US politics. Bringing Ford from the George Lucas universe into the Marvel universe as the President entangled in a deadly conspiracy is not much different from his experiences in the Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan series. It's as if the Marvel and Tom Clancy fandoms collide with thrilling results but still, it's one of the must-watch movies of the season right until the epilogue that signals what's next in the MCU.

It truly is a "brave new world" for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Conspiracy-driven politics, intense action, unexpected twists, and hints of what’s to come in the MCU are bravely encapsulated in this movie.

SYNDUALITY: Echo of Ada

Bandai Namco, known for popular franchises like the Soul series, Tekken, and Ace Combat, has entered the survival game genre with its new intellectual property titled SYNDUALITY. Do you have what it takes to explore the post-apocalyptic wasteland?

SYNDUALITY: Echo of Ada
SYNDUALITY: Echo of Ada

SYNDUALITY is Bandai Namco's newest intellectual property where players venture into the 23rd-century post-apocalyptic wasteland with the mechanical robot called the Cradle Coffin. Alongside is a humanoid AI assistant called the Magus which will guide you throughout your survival adventure.

SYNDUALITY: Echo of Ada focuses on the story of a Drifter named Alba Kuze and a Magus named Ada as they embark on a challenging journey through a world devastated by the deadly blue rain known as The Tears of the New Moon, which occurred 123 years ago. Their mission is to track down the mysterious AO Crystals that formed from this catastrophe and uncover the truth behind the destruction of the underground habitat for humanity called Amasia—no matter the cost. Interestingly, this game is set 20 years before the events of the SYNDUALITY: Noir TV anime, which is available for streaming on Disney+ worldwide and on Hulu in the United States.

Your Cradle Coffin and your Magus are the only essentials in the world of SYNDUALITY and they can be personalized to your liking. Being a survival game, players must fight through hordes of Bandits or Enders to collect resources, including the mysterious AO Crystals. Collecting such resources gives you the chance to upgrade your Cradle Coffin in terms of firepower, endurance, speed, and other key necessities, not to mention some customization items to stand out. The more missions you complete, the more cool stuff you can unlock for your Cradle Coffin and your Magus. Be warned; collecting resources is the easy part, but getting back with it is the hardest part.

Being a game that can be played via online multiplayer, it showcases its dog-eat-dog nature because you and the other players can't tell if they're friends or enemies. If they're willing to cooperate with you, so be it. If they want to clash against you, be ready because rival players may take your resources and/or possibly your Magus if they defeat you. Either way, this is how SYNDUALITY is played.

SYNDUALITY features challenging yet addictive gameplay that can be experienced both solo and online. Many players who enjoy robot games are comparing it to Armored Core, suggesting that it has the potential to become the next big title in that genre. Bandai Namco is making a strong statement by launching this exciting post-apocalyptic robot adventure game at the beginning of 2025, making it a must-check-out release.

GLADIATOR II

A sequel 24 years in the making, the story of Gladiator continues in the follow-up to the cult classic period action movie from 2000 that rewrites the history of the Roman empire with blood.

GLADIATOR II
GLADIATOR II

GLADIATOR II, the sequel to Ridley Scott's 2000 masterpiece continues the tale of power, intrigue, and vengeance in Ancient Rome. Set after the end of the first Gladiator movie, Paul Mescal plays the role of the gladiator Lucius who witnessed the death of Maximus from the previous story and is now forced to fight in the arena after his home was taken over by the tyrants who now control the Roman Empire with an iron fist. Fighting through his past, Lucius is throwing all means for the future of Rome and in due course, continuing the fight left by Maximus.

The movie also stars The Last of Us's Pedro Pascal, Connie Nielsen, and Denzel Washington.

Like the original Gladiator movie 24 years ago, this sequel is unforgivingly relatable even by Ancient Rome standards. The authoritarian rule as demonstrated by the antagonists from the film forced men into a do-or-die battle royale is what sums it up and as expected, this is about survival. Still, the hard-hitting battle scenes retain the Gladiator signature even in the eyes of the new protagonist who vows to continue the fight for Rome.

The harsh Ancient Roman political hardline, a relentless fight to the death, and the gripping storytelling that picks up where the previous story left off, this is what GLADIATOR II sums up. Welcome back to the stage of history.

Call of Duty Black Ops 6

Are you ready for the truth? If not, get ready for the most intense Black Ops experience of your life.

Call of Duty Black Ops 6
Call of Duty Black Ops 6 (XBOX)

Now available on PC and consoles, Call of Duty Black Ops 6 promises to be the most intense Black Ops experience ever made. Even conspiracy theories can't keep up with what to expect in this newest installment.

The Call of Duty series is known for its quality. Black Ops 6 continues this tradition with a solo-player campaign that will leave you glued to the screen. However, you'll want to bring some friends along because Black Ops 6 features the most extreme multiplayer mechanics and the ultimate zombie experience!

Beginning with the campaign mode, which is set in the early 90s when the Cold War ended and the US emerged as the world superpower, players will unravel a dark conspiracy that will rewrite the history of the United States of America. Fighting through enemy threats mission after mission is one step closer to uncovering America's darkest secret. This is where players will be familiarized with new ways to enjoy this game, including a new control movement layout favored by expert gamers.

Having enjoyed the conspiracy-driven story mode, players can test their skills in various multiplayer mechanics featuring 16 new maps at launch with 12 core 6v6 maps and 4 Strike maps that can be played 2v2 or 6v6. Win or lose, players can gain XP points and funding to collect new weapons and gear while some, mostly time-limited ones, can be obtained via pass progression, free or premium. The game's Prestige system is getting more "prestige" than ever. Expect more to come via updates and DLCs so stay tuned.

BO6 marks the return of Round-Based Zombies where you and three other players work together to eliminate undead threats in two maps at launch with more on the way post-launch. Be warned, though, tougher zombies are incoming the more rounds you survive.

With a conspiracy-driven storyline that is a real Back To The 90s, a benchmark-setting multiplayer experience, and the ultimate Zombies experience, conspiracy theories can't keep up with the most intense Black Ops experience ever crafted. The truth is out there. Go get it.

Revolver (2024 film)

As one video game villain said, "Touch that wire and the C4 will blow up along with the old man!" 

Well, this movie is one of the most intense action thrillers to hit Korean cinemas during the summer season. The movie is called...REVOLVER and it's loaded with more than six bullets to kill anything that moves. Let's see why this movie is called "Revolver".

Revolver (2024 film)
Revolver (2024 film)

Starring Ji Chang Wook, Lim Ji Yeon, Kim Jun Han, Kim Jong Soo, Jung Man Sik, and Jeon Do Yeon, among others, this intense action suspense thriller centers Do Yeon in the role of a former police officer named Ha Soo Young, who was imprisoned after taking the fall for a crime. When she was freed, she had a new purpose.

I can’t recommend this movie enough. It’s a revolving tale of betrayal and redemption. This movie, like an ocelot, never lets its prey escape and hiding won’t help you. The characters and the storytelling are so much more than a revolver's power and its so-called muzzle velocity.

It's been a long time since the celebrities featured in this suspense thriller had a good fight in their past projects and as the revolver said, "You're pretty good." They were lucky because they really did live up to their legends but they're just getting warmed up.

The twists and turns kept moviegoers on the edge of their seats. This movie definitely lives up to its title, and this is recommended to anyone looking for an exciting night at the movies.

This is exactly why this movie is titled "Revolver".

DRAW!

The first of the TOEI summer 2024 tokusatsu movie double-header is Kamen Rider Gotchard: The Future Daybreak.

Twisters (2024 film)

The 1996 disaster movie "Twister" saw a group of underdogs tracking down the most powerful storm in decades. With global warming becoming the talk of the world, it became appropriate to unleash its modern-day sequel to the 1996 blockbuster.

Twisters

Directed by Lee Isaac Chung and produced by the same folks behind the Jurassic, Bourne, and Indiana Jones series, Twisters is a modern-day chapter of the 1996 classic disaster flick where a group of storm chasers tracks down powerful tornadoes wreaking havoc across the village.

It's a shame the original cast didn't make it to this sequel, which is the biggest weakness this movie showcases, but this movie feels topical and real at the same time because it showcases the grim reality of today's world where global warming can easily trigger record-breaking storms, especially twisters. This is exactly why a modern-day take on a 1996 classic was made.

Amazingly, RAM Trucks were involved in this movie, providing their toughest trucks to withstand the world's deadliest tornadoes unleashed in this movie. Thank you, Stellantis.

Although it nearly doesn't feel like the original, Twisters showcased the grim reality of today's world thanks to global warming. If you got blown away by the 1996 original, just wait until you enjoy its present-day chapter. Be warned.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga

The secret origin of Furiosa, a character who appeared in the Mad Max Fury Road movie a decade ago, has arrived and it's going to be "fast" and "Furiosa". Pun intended.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga

Starring Anya Taylor-Joy as the young Furiosa and Thor actor Chris Hemsworth, the spin-off to the Mad Max saga curated by George Miller uncovers more on Furiosa, a character who appeared in the award-winning blockbuster, Mad Max Fury Road.

A Mad Max movie without Mad Max himself feels odd. Still, because the insane world of Mad Max deserved to be expanded since the 2015 movie and the video game spin-off, this spinoff movie is a clear reminder that the Mad Max universe is opening up for more possibilities.

As fans got the chance to get to know Furiosa's secret origins, the classic Mad Max recipe is still there; lots of destructive carnage, hellish stunts, and an insane cast of characters minus the Mad Max you know. It's everything mad men want in a story of a femme fatale who's about to incite chaos against chaos.

Even without Mad Max, the secret origin of Furiosa proves that the franchise blows its doors off for expansion opportunities, and "what a lovely day" it is. Want chaos? Watch this movie. It's the most chaotic thing from the Mad Max universe.

Civil War (2024 film)

From the visionary mind of Alex Garland comes a thought-provoking master-class movie that paints a darker picture of America.

Civil War (2024 film)

Starring Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura, Jesse Plemons, Cailee Spaeny, Stephen McKinley Henderson, and Nick Offerman, Civil War, the magnum opus masterpiece by Alex Garland, who is responsible for movies such as 28 Days Later, EX MACHINA, and Annihilation, is set in a dystopian future America when government and rebel forces clash throughout the entire nation. As the civil war intensifies, a group of journalists are racing against time to reach the capitol.

Although purely fictional, Civil War is a warning sign to American society because of the political tensions the country is facing today. Politics aside, this masterpiece is more than just a "war movie" because its dark and powerful storytelling is peppered with drama and values this movie possesses. Such storytelling earned Civil War the right to be called an "artisan pick" and the whole world got its attention.

A dark portrayal of America amid political turmoil is worth checking out in cinemas as Civil War ultimately proves its point that it might happen when politics in America spiraled out of control.

Ultraman Blazar The Movie: Dai Kaiju Shuto Gekitotsu

Ultraman Blazar, Gento Hiruma, and SKaRD are back for their final mission as they are on a race against time to avert armageddon, whatever it takes.

Ultraman Blazar The Movie:
Dai Kaiju Shuto Gekitotsu

Ultraman Blazar The Movie: Dai Kaiju Shuto Gekitotsu (Giant Monster Clash in the Capital) is set moments after the series finale, and in this true final mission for Blazar and SKaRD, a powerful monster Gongilgan is causing havoc across downtown Tokyo. With lives at stake, Gento Hiruma and the entire SKaRD task force are facing the inevitable, and as time runs out, they are throwing whatever means necessary to prevent an all-out armageddon.

Packed with suspense, thrills, action, drama, plot twists, and the usual Blazar shenanigans that speak louder than his now-famous battle cries, it is the proper sendoff to Blazar's story. Although it was jammed with mixed reactions since last year's TV series, it's more than enough to Plus Ultra to the very end.

With this movie, it's officially case closed for Ultraman Blazar, but the Ultraman New Generation universe will continue. We don't know who and what but watch for it.

Madame Web

Another web has spun into the Marvel universe; this time, it's neither Spider-Man nor Venom. It's about an ordinary woman with an extraordinary power no one saw it coming.

Madame Web

Madame Web, an edge-of-your-seat suspense thriller from the world of Marvel, stars Dakota Johnson as Cassandra Webb, a paramedic who got caught in a terrifying accident, causing her to gain the power to foresee terrible futures and avert them by all means. As Cassandra is caught in a shocking web of revelations, she'll need more than just her to avert her destiny.

Although a paradigm shift from typical Marvel superhero shenanigans, this movie feels like a combination of Stephen King and That's So Raven. You had a main character who can see the future, only darker, and it's a race against time to prevent the inevitable, especially when a killer reminiscent of Venom from Spider-Man 3, shifts this movie into a deadly cat-and-mouse chase.

Full of twists and turns, this movie is impossible to guess and doublethink, and it will leave you entangled in Marvel fashion. 

Don't come watching this movie unprepared because of the unanswered questions this movie possesses. It will spiral you down. If you are fully prepared or overprepared, then Madame Web is a no-brainer for you. Just enjoy it until the last drop.

Argylle (2024 movie)

They say spy movies are always a good choice and in the mind of Matthew Vaughn, this newest spy thriller has it all; thrills, suspense, drama, and dark comic.

Argylle (2024 movie)

Matthew Vaughn's newest masterpiece, Argylle, is about Elly Conway, played by Bryce Dallas Howard, a spy novel author living her quiet life with her cat Alfie. What she didn't know was that her novels started to echo the operations of a real-world spy ring.

Joining alongside Howard is a powerhouse cast of celebrities such as The Witcher's Henry Cavill, Sam Rockwell, Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston, Kefas Brand, singer Dua Lipa, Ariana DeBose, WWE legend John Cena, Samuel L. Jackson, and Sofia Boutella.

With a sleek blend of action, drama, suspense, and dark comedy, Argylle is a spy movie that can't be hidden in plain sight. It's all about everything unraveling as the opportunity arises and when the tension builds, this movie is far out the juiciest until the very end.

Once you enjoyed watching this spy flick, there's no hiding the truth that this is one of the most interesting movies to watch in the first quarter of 2024. No secret's safe with this one.
