M3GAN

Kicking off the 2023 movie year is a terrifying new movie crafted by horror movie professionals that will put most of the Child's Play movies to the thrift shop of horrors.

M3GAN

Crafted by the minds of James Wan and Blumhouse, M3GAN is a horror movie about an AI doll that will showcase the true horrors between man and machine, which kinda reminds us of the other movies with humans vs. robots in it.

Meant to be a friend for children and parents alike, Gemma (played by Allison Williams), a roboticist working for the toy company that created M3GAN, tries to put her M3GAN prototype to good use while taking care of her orphaned niece Cady (played by Violet McGraw). However, all that good use became a living nightmare as M3GAN began acting on its own and went berserk.

Moviegoers were right about this movie being a Child's Play faux simile because M3GAN stole Chucky's spotlight as the genocidal toy the world should watch out for. Although a mild PG-13 horror movie, M3GAN behaves like a Rated R horror movie with shocking results. Such suspense, thrills, and chills made M3GAN the next big thing in horror movies and it's going to join the ranks of other horror movie monsters.

As they said, move over, Chucky. M3GAN's the new horror movie doll you don't want to make friends with.

Kamen Rider Geats x Revice MOVIE BATTLE ROYALE

Now that everybody's familiar with Kamen Rider Geats, the fourth Reiwa Kamen Rider TV series, looks like it's time to go beyond the Desire Grand Prix from the series because Geats and the others are up against...the familiar ones.

Kamen Rider Geats x Revice
MOVIE BATTLE ROYALE

Arrived in time before Christmas, the latest Kamen Rider crossover movie saw the Riders from the latest series facing familiar faces in a deadly battle royale fans are familiar with.

Titled Kamen Rider Geats x Revice MOVIE BATTLE ROYALE, Geats and the others are battling against the likes of Revi, Vice, Ryuki, and the other riders in a deadly battle royale where the last rider wins it all. However, this battle royale game gets a plot twist; a new rider named Kamen Rider Sicker wields the Powered Builder Buckle and Gigant Buckle in the Desire Driver.

This battle royale the riders are onto really takes the fans back because this movie saw the riders battle like it's 2002, the year Masked Rider Ryuki was aired. A fitting climax to Ryuki's 20th anniversary tribute this movie is and it reminds the world that there can only be one Kamen Rider. 

It's common sense but it's still a fun movie to watch while spending the rest of the Christmas vacation with the family and because this is a Kamen Rider movie, it's worth being the talk of the town.

A Kamen Rider battle royale movie featuring Geats, Revi, Vice, and Ryuki; it's the ideal action thriller the whole family can enjoy and is worth talking about after watching it. This is why the world loves the Kamen Rider universe. It's a cruel universe but it packs some serious kicking from start to finish.

Avatar: The Way of Water

A sequel 13 years in the making, James Cameron's magnum opus, Avatar, returns with its long-awaited sequel the world has been longing for.

Avatar: The Way of Water

Avatar: The Way of Water, is the long-awaited sequel to James Cameron's cinematic masterpiece that promises to be one of the best films to come out not just this year but the entire decade. Fans who witnessed the original movie have waited long enough to experience the continuation of Jake Sully's adventure as a Navi.

Set over a decade after the first film, The Way of Water sees Jake Sully (played by Sam Worthington) and Neytiri (played by Zoe Saldana) raising their own family. As he's fully accommodating his new lease of life as a Na'vi and living in peace, humans are once again threatening the lives of the Na'vis. It's up to Jake Sully and the Na'vis to save their civilization again.

Thanks to Disney's acquisition of Fox a few years ago, the sequel is packed with high-quality visuals that are more colorful than the first film, giving this movie bursting with life and dynamism as moviegoers return to Pandora spectacularly. 

Aside from the vividness it delivers, the storytelling is highly emotional, master-class, and downright relatable. It feels serene to witness the Na'vis living in peace until the clash against human enemies trying to destroy Pandora again evolved this joyful movie into an all-out thriller where they put themselves to the test.

With its storytelling evolved to perfection, stunning visuals thanks to Disney's takeover of Fox, and the moral lessons it delivers, this long-awaited sequel to the 2009 blockbuster is no doubt a worthy contender to next year's Academy Awards. It's proof that classic Hollywood is bursting back to life and for the rest of the world, this is the main reason why we love movies. This is the newest magnum opus that will go down in history as one of the all-time greats and that is the bottom line.

Welcome back to Pandora.

Shinbi's House Movie: The Dimensional Goblin and the Seven Worlds

After an explosive fourth season of the hit TV series that left viewers scratching their heads before the next season arrives very soon, the third Shinbi's House movie has arrived in time for the holidays, and this is going to be the most exciting Shinbi's House movie adventure yet.

Shinbi's House Movie:
The Dimensional Goblin
and the Seven Worlds

The third Shinbi's House movie adventure, The Dimensional Goblin and the Seven Worlds, promises to be the most exciting Shinbi's House movie adventure because of the heroes' multiverse adventure, which feels somewhat familiar.

In this latest movie, Doori and Geumbi stumbled across a mysterious portal which led them to ancient times where they saw suspicious-looking people that looked just like...them. As the disappearance of Doori and Geumbi turned into a race against time and space, the dimensional goblin named Kibi appears and she's ready to help Hari, Shinbi, and Kanglim save the two and also the multiverse against a powerful villain named Another and his minions.

Of course, this latest Shinbi's House movie took the pages from a certain superhero flick that involves alternate universes. Speaking of alternate universes, this movie gave fans the chance to see Shinbi and the gang as they've never seen before because this is a movie about the multiverse, the Shinbi's House way. Having enjoyed witnessing the heroes' alternative sides, the classic Shinbi's House moments are still in this newest movie; supernatural threats, epic fight scenes, tearful moments, and Shinbi's cute moments to stick to your face. 

Besides, the appearance of Kibi in the movie feels like she can be a welcoming addition to Team Shinbi. Let's hope fans deserve more from her in the next season just like the other one.

If you feel like there's "no way home" from the "multiverse of madness" but your gut says you had Shinbi and friends got your back, this is the movie for you. Consider this a run-off to the next Shinbi's House adventure.

Marvel's Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

Ever since the death of Chadwick Boseman, the actor famed for playing the Black Panther, chances of making the sequel movie has thrown into complete turmoil but for the folks from Marvel, the story of the Black Panther lives on because they don't want to end like this. In response, the newest chapter of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has arrived and it promises to be a fitting tribute for the Black Panther.

Marvel's Black Panther:
Wakanda Forever

The newest MCU installment, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, is by far the darkest installment the MCU franchise has ever faced but it's by no means one of the most thrilling movies to come out in the fall season.

In this movie, Wakanda is facing the brink of destruction as the kingdom mourns the passing of King T'Challa, the Black Panther. With Namor, the king of Talokan, and the whole world turning against Wakanda, it's up to those who are loyal to T'Challa to protect their beloved kingdom by any means necessary.

A Black Panther movie without the Black Panther delivered moviegoers with a sorrowful undertone but all that sorrow transformed into fury and all that fury transformed this movie into a balls-out explosive action with all of the drama involved. 

Drama aside, Wakanda Forever is another Marvel masterpiece that celebrates the heroines who made it possible just like other MCU movies like Captain Marvel and Black Widow, but it's more than that because the main heroines in this film are paying tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman. Yes, there are hints that the MCU franchise is getting diverse but with Wakanda Forever, it's slowly tipping the scales and fans would really wish there should be more MCU flicks like this that celebrate women in action.

With sorrow, rage, and a hint of girl power, Wakanda Forever is a clear sign that the Black Panther story goes on and as hinted with the arrival of a new Black Panther in this movie, it's worth passing it on.

Suzume (2022 film)

After the success of "your name." and "Weathering with you", Makoto Shinkai is at it again to deliver his biggest masterpiece to the big screen that promises to become the talk of the town just like his previous works that became well-known the world over.

Suzume (2022 film)
Suzume (2022 film)

Makoto Shinkai's newest masterpiece, Suzume, promises to be the biggest blockbuster treat to come out from Japan since "your name." and "Weathering with you" as well as the anime movie titans such as all of the Studio Ghibli films and the heavyweight champion; Demon Slayer Mugen Train arc.

In this newest Makoto Shinkai film, it's about a young girl named Suzume whose quiet life begins to change when she encountered a mysterious person who is looking for a door. Whatever the door it leads, Suzume faces swaths of force majeure and it's up to her to close the doors to prevent further destruction.

This film reminded moviegoers about the previous Makoto Shinkai masterpiece, Weathering with you, but Suzume pushes the envelope to further heights. With all of the frightening disaster movie elements coming full circle as well as classic Makoto Shinkai works moments moviegoers will encounter, not to mention the sensational product placement involved, Suzume is a real tour de force meets force majeure. A real artisan pick for those who've enjoyed the film from the start to the very end and because of being a Makoto Shinkai success story, it's going to be inescapable for you because when everybody watched the film, they'll have their heads stuck with it.

Because being a certified Makoto Shinkai success story, it seems that the famed rock band RADWIMPS has returned to perform the movie's theme songs, which adds to the production value of this film if you catch their drift.

With its memorable cast of characters, gut-wrenching storytelling, and classic Makoto Shinkai works moments to keep an eye out for, Suzume is becoming the biggest anime movie heavyweight of 2022 and such artisanship will left a massive crater at the heart of anime history.

Halloween Ends

The terrifying standoff between Laurie Strode and Michael Myers has reached the bloodiest climax in the newest installment of the Halloween franchise and as the title implies, it all ends here.

Halloween Ends

Halloween Ends is the newest installment of the Halloween horror slasher movie franchise that is set after last year's Halloween Kills movie. In this movie, Laurie (played by Jamie Lee Curtis) faces a series of shocking new murders that ended her in the ultimate showdown between her and Myers. Whatever it takes, it all ends here.

The streets of Haddonfield aren't safe and prepared for this bloodiest climax of the saga because having enjoyed the most terrifying cat-and-mouse chase between Laurie and Myers since the first Halloween movie, it's a real bummer why they called it "Halloween Ends" because, for the horror fans, they just really wish this goes on forever, but for some, it's about damn time...hopefully.

About time, they said, because compared to the rest of the Halloween franchise, Halloween Ends delivers the ultimate thrill that will torture even the most faint-hearted viewers with the most terrifying Michael Myers moments ever witnessed in the history of the Halloween movies. Because this is claimed to be the climax of the franchise, the villainous slasher is in his grotesque final form and the final standoff between Laurie Strode and Michael Myers is worth the wait.

Ending one of the most terrifying horror movie franchises in history is a hard act to follow but Halloween Ends is a bloody reminder that this franchise left a massive slice in the world of horror movies and what happens after this movie is everyone's guess.

Hello Carbot The Movie: Secret of the Suspicious Magic Gang

After wrapping up their twelfth season on the telly, Cha Tan and his Carbot pals are back to the big screen with their newest Hello Carbot adventure. It's their fourth movie!

Secret of the Suspicious Magic Gang is the title of the fourth Hello Carbot movie adventure and it follows the success of the previous three Hello Carbot movies with an eclectic mix of action, comedy, some tearful drama, and of course, new Carbots to summon from Cha Tan's Cube Watch.

In this latest adventure, Cha Tan and his parents are visiting a province to meet their grandparents while going out harvesting some watermelons. All that changed when Cha Tan encounters a young girl named Sam-soon while a mysterious UFO steals the watermelons and a mysterious magician was running a magic show...with a terrifying plot to take over the world!

In addition to familiar favorites such as Power Crewzer and of course, Pentastorm X (arguably the best version of the all-time best Carbot), this movie features two new Carbot friends, King Dozer and Green Farm. Which reminds us, these two should have been in the ninth season two years ago. What just happened? It's a secret but anyway, with King Dozer and Green Farm making their debut, this is Carbot adventure that saw kids and families standing up and cheering as Cha Tan and friends battle against a terrifying new threat and save the day!

Thrilling, perilous, hilarious, and tearjerking, these are some of the things kids would say after enjoying the latest Hello Carbot movie adventure and because it's one of the most successful Korean animation franchises, this movie is a definite talk in the town or talk in the classroom as expected as kids had a lot of explanation just how big and awesome this latest Hello Carbot movie adventure is. Whatever the reason, it's a big impression.

Aikatsu Planet! (movie)

Aired in TV Tokyo from January to late June 2021, Aikatsu Planet is the fourth installment of Bandai Namco's Aikatsu franchise that breaks apart from the franchise traditions. It features a mix of live-action J-drama (tokusatsu, if you like to refer) and anime sequences and instead of cards, Aikatsu Planet uses the swing system where avatars use swings to tame mysterious creatures known as Dressias, possessing wonderful outfits to use on-stage battles.

The series ended last year but those who are wondering what's next for Hana and the girls wait no more because the movie version of the Aikatsu Planet has arrived in time for the Aikatsu franchise's 10th anniversary, giving fans a much-needed closure.

Aikatsu Planet! (movie)
Aikatsu Planet! (movie)

The Aikatsu Planet girls are back and this time they're on the big screen as the movie version of the said show picks up moments after the series finale. In this movie, Mao Otoha (played by Kahya Date) and the gang are staging an Aikatsu Planet festival on the school campus; meaning there will be more fun and games for the girls as they're getting through all sorts of misfits in the name of all things Aikatsu.

Although appreciated for the return of the STARRY PLANET girls and the classic Aikatsu moment returned in this movie, this movie didn't deliver what the fans wanted; summer uniforms, snowballs, kimonos, and a beach. What a bummer for Aikatsu fans because like the show itself, Aikatsu Planet did break the franchise norms and it's a shame fans didn't get to see what's like when our favorite Aikatsu Planet girls got soaked for summer or whatever the Aikatsu franchise showed in its glorious pasts.

Despite the movie didn't deliver what the fans want for the girls, this movie truly is a fitting start for the Aikatsu franchise's 10th anniversary, even the new songs featured in this movie are proof that it's still Aikatsu. Mind you, there's even a special Aikatsu 10th-anniversary short movie before this and we get to see the original Aikatsu anime characters returned for more.

This movie is a fitting start to the Aikatsu franchise's 10th anniversary and despite lacking the fanservice, their big-screen antics have shown that this is the true ending to the Aikatsu Planet saga...although it hurts saying it this is the peak of the saga has reached. Well done, STARRY PLANET girls.

Now that the Aikatsu Planet movie finally hits theaters, what to expect next in the Aikatsu franchise now that we no longer see them on the telly? Only time will tell...

How hard can it be?

This movie goes to show that superheroes can't go on a break, especially for an Asgardian god like him. Still, this hilarious rollercoaster ride delivers high-voltage moments that will bring viewers edge-of-their-seat fun and excitement from start to finish. Explosive action, intense thrills, and comic relief, this is what Thor's latest adventure is all about and it's one of the must-watch movies of the summer season.

Minions: The Rise of Gru
Minions: The Rise of Gru

As fans get to know about Gru's origin story, The Rise of Gru features new kinds of Minions to love, including the Yellow Bunny Minion in one part of the film where the trio is facing a pack of beasts. Let's not forget Airline Bob as well. What? There are plenty of Minions to enjoy in this sequel, you know. There's no fighting about which one is the favorite, friends.

Textbook history only tells us who is Elvis Presley but there's something we don't know about The King of Rock & Roll as this biopic explains the untold story of one of the greatest performers of the 20th century.

Elvis (movie)
Elvis (movie)

Disney-Pixar's Lightyear

From the world of Toy Story, Buzz Lightyear is by no means the coolest toy hero you want to befriend with. If you think you know Buzz Lightyear, then think again. The newest Disney-Pixar movie is all about Buzz Lightyear's first mission. The origin story of everyone's favorite toy hero from the Toy Story movies.

Disney-Pixar's Lightyear

Disney-Pixar's Lightyear brings Captain America actor Chris Evans to the role of the young Buzz Lightyear as this movie showcases the Space Ranger's first mission which brought him through perilous trials and tribulations. With the help of his unlikely allies (played by Keke Palmer, Dale Soules, and Taika Waititi), and his robot cat Sox (played by Peter Sohn), this is exactly what Buzz Lightyear's first mission feels like.

While some purists complain about why putting the Captain America actor in the role of Buzz Lightyear, this origin story of the hero that inspired the toy from the Toy Story movies showcased the world who Buzz Lightyear really is. From start to finish, Buzz Lightyear's first mission really is a spectacle that families will enjoy. Dramatic moments, thrilling moments, funny moments, this movie has it all in a Disney-Pixar way and this is by no means one of the must-watch films of the summer season.

Getting to know the real Buzz Lightyear is going to be part of your summer to-do list, kids because this movie is an out-of-this-world experience. You'll be spaced out from start to finish, getting a glimpse of what Buzz Lightyear's first mission looks like.

To Infinity and Beyond!

Jurassic World Dominion

The final chapter of the Jurassic series has arrived and it's the apex predator that will reign the summer movie season by all means necessary. This final chapter promises to reign the summer box office in a way no other installment from the Jurassic era has done before.


The saga that started in Jurassic Park ends here in this ultimate and thrilling finale where characters from Jurassic Park and Jurassic World joined forces in an epic globetrotting adventure set moments after the devastating events from Fallen Kingdom. It's an all-out hell on earth now that genetically-created dinosaurs reached the top of the food chain.

With thrilling moments, new and classic Jurassic dinosaurs including the iconic Tyrannosaurus Rex, and explosive effects some would call it a cliche, the final chapter of the Jurassic saga is more than enough to keep moviegoers hanging at the edge of their seats from the start to the very end. While most sequels of the Jurassic era, from The Lost World to Fallen Kingdom, failed to deliver the monstrosity of the first Jurassic Park movie, this one finally delivered what the fans wanted. Not only does this installment come through the top, it ultimately devours it completely. 

This is the ultimate Jurassic experience that fans will remember forever. The final chapter of the Jurassic era has reached the top of its food chain. The ultimate apex predator of the franchise. Although it's sad to say goodbye to one of the most iconic movie franchises in history, rest assured that this is the ultimate send-off that really ends it not just with a bang but a massive roar heard around the world.

Top Gun: Maverick

After a two-year COVID delay, the long-awaited sequel to the iconic action movie that stars Tom Cruise as a fighter pilot has finally soared into theaters, in time before the summer starts.

Top Gun: Maverick
Top Gun: Maverick

Top Gun: Maverick is the long-awaited sequel to one of the most iconic action movies in ages. Cruise reprises the role of Pete Mitchell, TAC Name: Maverick, as he's training a detachment of graduates for a specialized mission that will push them to the limit. With the fateful encounter of pilots named Rooster and Goose, Maverick prepares for the ultimate mission of his life.

The Tomcats and Hornets have finally soared into theaters after a two-year delay that shocked fans of the classic Top Gun movie into waiting. Now that it's here, this is something those who've watched the first Top Gun movie won't have their word on it. Like the first one, Top Gun: Maverick lets the jets do the talking more than the actors in this movie because the sky is their stage and the jets are the stars of the film, not the actors themselves. Although more flying than dogfights, which is a bit of a drama for this sequel, it's more than enough to deliver the closure Top Gun needs.

Whether you are familiar with the original Top Gun movie or not, the sequel is a must-watch, especially for those who want to be like Maverick and the other Top Gun pilots. It's great to be back in the danger zone for one last time.

Shin Ultraman

After having a blast on reimagined versions of iconic classics such as Shin Godzilla and Shin Evangelion, a gigantic Japanese superhero is getting the "shin" treatment as part of the Shin Japan Heroes Universe.

Shin Ultraman
Shin Ultraman

Created in honor of five-and-a-half decades of Ultraman, this reimaging of the classic Japanese superhero brings fans a bold and dramatic new take on the giant superhero the world loves.

Because this is a bold new take on Ultraman, this movie has nothing in common with the iconic 1966 TV series. The SSSP you'll see in this movie has nothing in common with the SSSP from the TV show because the producers wanted to deliver the drama and the nonsense this movie delivers. 

With almost no gimmicks involved in the making of this serious reimagining, Shin Ultraman is explosive force majeure fans and newcomers to the Ultraman franchise should check it out for themselves...although some may find that the Ultraman appeared in this reimagining looks skinny compared to the real thing, giving suspicions that our favorite giant went on a workout before filming.

Despite its odd undertones, Shin Ultraman is the no-nonsense reimagining that deserves to follow the footsteps of Shin Godzilla and Shin Evangelion. Like it or not, this movie is not really a show-off and it sure knows how to be taken very seriously.
