It has received an 86% score on Rotten Tomatoes. With such human-centric themes, the film has the potential to compete in next year's Academy Awards due to its "artisan pick" status.

Quezon (2025 film)

Famed actor Jericho Rosales is the latest to portray the late Philippine President Manuel Luis Quezon in this gripping biopic movie directed by Jerrold Tarog.

Quezon (2025 film)

Quezon is the third biopic in Jerrold Tarog's Bayaniverse, following Heneral Luna (2015) and Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral (2018). This movie answers the biggest question Filipinos have asked: "Was Manuel Luis Quezon a national hero or a blueprint for dictatorship?"

This movie also stars Iain Glen, Romnick Sarmenta, Cris Villanueva, Benjamin Alves, Arron Villaflor, JC Santos, Jake Macapagal, Bodjie Pascua, Angeli Bayani, Jojit Lorenzo, Therese Malvar, Ana Abad Santos, Ketchup Eusebio, and Nico Locco.

Unlike the other biopic titled "Quezon's Game," this latest film about Manuel L. Quezon offers a more impactful perspective, similar to the work of Director Tarog in his previous films. While it may not possess overwhelming power, this film serves as a poignant reminder of who Manuel L. Quezon truly was—a story that you won't find in any history books.

Although it's hard to recommend this movie to anyone who claims they're familiar with the late Philippine President Manuel Luis Quezon, who was allegedly labeled as the architect of the Philippine dictatorship, which paved the way for martial law on September 21, 1972, it's best to give this historic biopic a try. Not much, but this movie reveals more about his legacy.

The Smashing Machine

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson delivers his dramatic interpretation of the two-time UFC Heavyweight Tournament Champion, Mark Kerr, famously known as The Smashing Machine, in this powerful biopic movie that tells more about the legend himself.

The Smashing Machine

Based on true events, The Smashing Machine centers on Mark Kerr's career as an MMA fighter who rocked the sports world. Most of the trials and tribulations he faced are highlighted in this biopic.

Although this biopic doesn't match the same quality as Ali, one of the greatest sports biopic movies in ages, this movie gives sports and MMA fans a chance to fully understand who Mark Kerr is and how his arduous journey made him the two-time UFC heavyweight champion. It's a must-watch of the season for anyone who has a strong interest in the world of mixed martial arts and the UFC.

If you think you know Mark Kerr, come experience this movie to fully understand who this legend is.

One Battle After Another

Leonardo DiCaprio is back on the big screen for his most daring role yet in a new movie worthy of becoming one of the most cinematic masterpieces of the year.

One Battle After Another brings actor Leonardo DiCaprio to his most daring role as a former revolutionary confronting his old enemy while searching for his missing daughter. It also stars Sean Penn, Benicio Del Toro, Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, and Diase Infiniti.

This movie showcases DiCaprio in a new light, pushing him to deliver a true cinematic masterpiece in this thrilling action drama. From beginning to end, audiences will be captivated by the film's dark beauty. 

The exciting escapes, heart-wrenching tragedies, captivating soundtrack, and well-developed characters all contribute to its status as one of the year's most significant cinematic achievements. It is a remarkable work that deserves to compete for an Oscar.

If you're a Leonardo DiCaprio fan itching to see his next move, consider this movie. It's a future classic in the making.

The Long Walk (2025 movie)

Based on a Stephen King masterpiece, this bold and thrilling adaptation has one question that will haunt everyone's minds: HOW FAR CAN YOU WALK?

The Long Walk (2025 movie)

With a screenplay by JT Mollner and directed by Francis Lawrence, The Long Walk is known for its intense, character-driven narrative and stark, relentless premise, much like the namesake novel by Stephen King.

Set in a dystopian future, a hundred people are chosen by the lottery to participate in the annual national event called "The Long Walk" with a twisted rule: walk or die.

This masterpiece, much like the novel itself, takes inspiration from the infamous Bataan Death March of 1942. It powerfully depicts the horror and trauma experienced when individuals are forced by their captors to march thousands of miles, alongside strangers, toward a designated destination. 

This movie may not be recommended by any WWII veterans who have lived through that traumatic experience, nor by the youth who have faced similar situations (as seen with the Bestlink College 2025 Foundation Day). However, it serves as a stark warning for moviegoers who might find themselves in a comparable situation.

HOW FAR CAN YOU WALK? HOW LONG CAN YOU WALK? Watch this movie and find out for yourself.

My Daughter is a Zombie (movie)

An absurdly unique and popular webtoon that inspired a TV anime series aired a long time ago; the story of Jung-hwan and his zombie daughter, Soo-ah, came to life on the big screen. It's another webtoon-turned-live-action-movie since last week's megahit Omniscient Reader movie.

My Daughter is a Zombie (movie)

Starring Jo Jeong Seok, Lee Jeong Eun, Jo Yeo Jeong, Yoon Gyeong Ho, and Choi Yuri, the Zombie Daughter has sprung to life on the big screen.

Just like the webtoon it was based on, Jung-hwan and his daughter, Soo-ah, have witnessed a zombie outbreak. As they're escaping the zombie hellhole, Jung-hwan finds out that his daughter, Soo-ah, got bitten by a zombie and she's starting to become one. Afraid of losing his only daughter, Jung-hwan seeks help from his mom, named Bam-soon, and a cat named Ae-yong, as well as his old friend, a veterinarian named Dong-bae, to do something no one has ever done in a zombie apocalypse: taming a zombie daughter like taming a wild animal. As the zombie hunter Yeon-hwa, another old friend of Jung-hwan, is tracking down zombies like her, it's up to Jung-hwan to maintain this wild-but-sensitive secret away from her prying eyes.

Sadly, you don't see Ae-yong doing Ae-yong things. Neither is Dong-bae punching a zombie in the face, nor is that XXL-sized granny that made one zombie surrender to the authorities. Kinda like her soups, though. It's just Jung-hwan doing his best to tame his zombie daughter by all means. 

True to the webtoon roots, this is a rather unique family movie showcasing the true meaning of "family" in the midst of the zombie apocalypse. You will either laugh or cry in some of the most memorable moments plucked from the pages of the webtoon in this movie. It's heart-warming until the very end.

If you've enjoyed either the webtoon or the TV anime series, this live-action Zombie Daughter movie deserves to be on your must-watch movie list for 2025. With a blend of horror, comedy, drama, and family values, it's another must-watch Korean movie of the season.

F1: The Movie

To celebrate F1's 75th anniversary, the world of F1 comes to life on the big screen, thanks to the mastermind behind Top Gun Maverick, who made it possible to bring "the king of motorsports" to Hollywood.

F1: The Movie

Starring Brad Pitt, Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, and Javier Bardem, "F1: The Movie" brings the thrilling action of Formula 1 racing to the big screen. The film imagines what the F1 grid will look like with the addition of an 11th team, set to debut in the 2026 F1 season. The story revolves around APXGP, a fictional team that plays a central role in the plot.

In this movie, Brad Pitt plays the role of Sonny Hayes, a former F1 driver who got pulled out of retirement by his former teammate Ruben Cervantes, played by Javier Bardem, who owns the struggling APXGP. He made a fateful encounter with the team's rookie driver, Joshua Pearce, played by Damson Idris, who becomes Sonny's teammate and arch-nemesis. The stakes are higher, and as Sonny's past demons haunt him, he will soon learn that returning to F1 racing is an all-or-nothing gamble. Whatever it takes.

A masterpiece two years in the making, the racing sequences were created during the 2023 and 2024 F1 seasons, so yes, there's a hint of Zhou Guanyu, Alfa Romeo Sauber, Alpha Tauri, and whatnots instead of the latest F1 season. Still, with cameos of this generation's F1 greats like Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen, and Lando Norris, the movie's racing scenes never felt so exciting. 

Moviegoers are drawn to the dramatic performances of Brad Pitt and Damson Idris, but it's the hero car that steals the spotlight. This film features the APXGP APX23 as its iconic vehicle, which showcases the movie's 11th team scenario. Powered by Mercedes-AMG, the choice to partner with Mercedes-AMG as a sponsor is clear. Additionally, Apple developed custom technology specifically for the APX23, which enhanced the film's racing sequences and contributed to the actors' on-screen reactions while driving.

If you enjoyed this movie, you'll soon have the chance to play moments from F1: The Movie as downloadable content (DLC) in the EA SPORTS F1 25 video game, available next week. However, to access these challenges in the game, you'll need to provide proof that you've watched the film, even though it may reveal some spoilers.

This film offers a story-based action thriller experience that chronicles the adventures of the struggling APXGP team. It features a dramatic performance by Brad Pitt and includes cameos from your favorite F1 drivers, delivering classic F1 thrills. This movie stands as the pinnacle of the 75th anniversary celebration of Formula 1. From beginning to end, it proves to be one of the best films of the summer season.

It's lights out and away it goes!

Karate Kid Legends

Two generations of The Karate Kid franchise join forces to forge a new legend in the newest installment that shapes the past, present, and future of this iconic franchise.

Karate Kid Legends

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. Fong seeks help from the legendary Karate Kid Daniel LaRusso, played by Macchio, and kung fu master Mr. Han, played by Jackie Chan, to prepare himself for the greatest challenge of his life.

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.

Rapide (le film)

As the motoring world eagerly awaits this year's summer racing blockbuster based on Formula 1, there's a French film that highlights the paradigm shift of women in motorsports.

Rapide (le film)

Starring Paola Locatelli and Alban Lenoir, and directed by Morgan S. Dalibert, RAPIDE is a French drama film about a young woman who stands out in the male-dominated world of formula racing and wants to prove to the world that women can race.

This movie is highly recommended by Alpine F1 driver Pierre Gasly, stating that RAPIDE is a movie that "will hopefully inspire more young girls to take up racing and chase their dreams". Amazingly, the folks from Alpine Cars are more than happy to become a proud sponsor of this racing movie that changes the perception of women in motorsports.

In today's world, the perception of women in motorsports is undergoing a significant transformation. We have seen female drivers making headlines in IndyCar and NASCAR, and there have been racing series designed specifically for women, such as the now-defunct W Series and F1 Academy. Additionally, the former Extreme E showcased male-female pairs competing on off-road courses. 

This French racing film delivers a powerful message: women in motorsports are no longer just eye candy; they race just as competitively as their male counterparts. That is the bottom line. 

Forget the F1 movie. This racing movie is for you.

MICKEY 17

Bong Joon Ho, the director behind the Oscar-winning masterpiece Parasite, is back with his latest masterpiece about a character that dies...then the other one...then the other one...then the other one...

MICKEY 17

Robert Pattinson stars in the mind-blowing sci-fi movie Mickey 17, written by Bong Joon Ho. The film follows an "expendable" asset named Mickey Barnes, who is sent on a mission to colonize Niflheim, an icy world with the potential to become a new home for humanity. Each time one version of Mickey Barnes dies, another is regenerated with most of his memories intact. In other words, he lives, dies, and repeats the cycle.

This movie feels reminiscent of *Edge of Tomorrow* due to its main character, who lives, dies, and repeats to uncover the secrets of Niflheim. With a setting familiar to sci-fi enthusiasts, *Mickey 17* is bound to resonate with moviegoers, especially those who enjoyed *Parasite.* 

Although it’s not technically a Korean film, it is directed by the award-winning Bong Joon Ho, who consistently impresses audiences with his latest masterpieces. Despite its familiar setup, he manages to captivate viewers and keep them engaged.

Joker: Folie à Deux

The origin story of one of the deadliest criminals in the Batman universe continues in what was known to be the long-awaited sequel to the 2019 blockbuster movie.

Joker: Folie à Deux

Joaquin Phoenix returns to reprise the role of Joker in the next chapter of Joker's origin story, directed by Todd Phillips, who was responsible for the award-winning 2019 movie.

Set moments after the first film, as Arthur "Joker" Fleck, played by Phoenix, is institutionalized at Arkham awaiting trial for his crimes, he makes a fateful encounter with a mysterious woman, played by singer Lady Gaga, who will break his heart and, ultimately, break him out to freedom.

Gaga's performance as the mysterious woman in the sequel sparked speculations that this is the origin story of Harley Quinn, a femme fatale who is Joker's right-hander but it's extremely complicated to answer.

Despite complicating questions and answers overshadowing the sequel, it's still a credible artisan pick. It might be a worthy contender for next year's Oscars because it still delivers powerful emotions like the previous Joker movie. 

This sequel sure knows how to "face the music" spectacularly and this bigger and bolder sequel is one of the must-watch of the autumn movie season.

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)

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!

Fly Me to the Moon (2024 film)

Is it possible that NASA faked the moon landing? It's the question that's been on everyone's mind for decades. While some people believe it was real, others think it was an elaborate hoax. Now, in a new rom-com pseudo-historic recreation, we get to see what the story behind the story might have been. There's a lot more to the story than you might expect.

Fly Me to the Moon (2024 film)

FLY ME TO THE MOON stars Scarlett Johansson as a marketing professional and Channing Tatum as a launch director who has to team up to stage a fake moon landing to save NASA’s historic Apollo 11 mission. It’s a rom-com with a pseudo-historic twist.

There's been a lot of debate about the moon landing. Was it real, or was it a hoax? Fly Me to the Moon doesn't offer any real answers, but it is a fun and lighthearted movie. 

The movie does a good job of showing the challenges and the drama that would have been involved in such an undertaking. There are some funny moments, too. Overall, it's an enjoyable movie that doesn't take itself too seriously.

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.

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.

The Voltes V Legacy finale

Voltes V Legacy, the Philippine live-action drama adaptation of the classic Japanese anime series, Voltes V, brought a new perspective to a legendary story of good versus evil. It's about the Armstrong brothers; Steve, Big Bert, and Little John, as well as their human allies Mark Gordon and Jamie Robinson, who join forces as the Voltes team, protecting Earth from the Bozanian invaders while discovering who they really are.

The season finale features the final four missions to experience at the edge of your seats. From the forgotten social networking site out for revenge, influencers getting killed, a suspicious cryptocurrency used for purchasing black market weaponry, and the thrilling finale where dinnertime is the end of time itself.

Wow, the final missions sure have relevance in reality, huh? Social media and cryptocurrency are the main focus of this season's finale and because this is typical Torchwood suspense and thrills, no safe space is...well, safe from the gripping final moments of Among Us.

What a way to end the recent Torchwood season. Uncovering who is "among us" from start to finish made Among Us the most thrilling Torchwood saga yet and now that the whole collection is complete, expect more to come from the world of Torchwood.

The end is where will start for them.

Oppenheimer

This is the first rated-R movie by Christopher Nolan. It's a suspense thriller based on real events. It's titled Oppenheimer and it features the untold story of The Manhattan Project, a secret experiment where America gave birth to the nuclear weapon.

Oppenheimer

Starring Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, and Robert Downey Jr., Oppenheimer is a true-to-life untold story of The Manhattan Project and how a man named J. Robert Oppenheimer led America to the birth of the weapon of mass destruction in order to win World War II.

Shot at the combination of IMAX 65mm and 65mm large-format film photography including sections in IMAX black and white analog photography, this new kind of noir style gives the untold story of The Manhattan Project a darker feel as cinemagoers went to see the birth of a nuclear weapon that they won't find anything else in the history books and the effects really paid off to bring this suspense thriller to life. 

Combined with a powerhouse cast, gripping storytelling, and classic Christopher Nolan artisanship, Oppenheimer is another magnum opus Nolan curated since Tenet, Dunkirk, Interstellar, Inception, and The Dark Knight trilogy. Because of its unique cinematography that delivers a noir feel to this thrilling biopic, it's a worthy artisan pick and a worthy contender to the Oscars.

The birth of the weapon that could destroy humanity...this is something you won't find anything else in the history books.

Torchwood: Among Us 2

The second part of Torchwood: Among Us welcomes back Gareth David Lloyd to the latest saga, reprising the fan-favorite role of Ianto Jones. The fan-favorite character making a comeback in this latest chapter of Torchwood is pure delight for fans of the Doctor Who spinoff. Still, something's not right because...it's "Among Us" after all. No one knows who's the faceless threat pulling the strings.

Anyway, the second part welcomes listeners to four new thrilling missions to experience at the edge of their seats. These missions include Orr visiting the conflict-torn Voloshnik, Yvonne Hartman's prison break, vandals crashing inside Torchwood, and the whistleblowers who knew about the Phlobos Scandal.

These four new missions really are the latest pieces of the jigsaw puzzle and they're worth a suspense thriller to experience from start to finish.

Be sure to catch up on Among Us with these two installments available now and brace yourselves for the finale coming soon.
