‘The Ride’ is a wasted chance at a crime drama that could have simmered with tension, melancholy, and heart. At just over an hour, it has the speed of a getaway car, but none of the gravity to make the journey matter.

‘Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc’ is the wild anime B-movie that its acolytes might be awaiting, imbuing its fantastical ambitions and tight plotting with a tinge of mournful empathy.

Nahahati ang ‘The Last Beergin’ sa iba’t ibang parte ng inuman. Kung naranasan mo na ito, tiyak matutuwa ka dahil tatak Pinoy ang paglalarawan. Hindi sila nag-bar, sa tabing karinderya lang sila uminom, isang baso lang ang pinapaikot, beer at gin ang iniinom, at may sintunadong kantahan ng “Beer” ng The Itchyworms.

Even with Darren Aronofsky’s trademark bursts of violence, ‘Caught Stealing’ sees the filmmaker let loose in his breeziest film yet. Austin Butler has fun running the show as a world-weary drunk pulled into a conspiracy just bubbling under New York in 1998.

There’s an energizing quality to watching ‘Exit 8’ with a crowd or even with friends: the shared gasps, the laughs of relief, and the collective hunt for clues. It is communal, immersive horror done exactly how it should be.

‘The Long Walk’ is not an easy watch, as its stripped down, unflinching viscera might perturb those looking for an expected narrative push within a mainstream Lionsgate production.

Despite concessions to foreign producers, 'Magellan' remains unapologetically a Lav Diaz film, uncompromising in its gaze and staggering in its scope.

Gitawag kini og ‘Pinikas’, pero usa kini nga salida nga buo ug puno og kasing-kasing. Para ni sa mga nanginabuhi para sa pamilya nila ug para sa mga tawong naglisod og kab-ot sa ilang kalipay. Nanginahanglan gyud ta og mga storya nga makakupot sa tinuod nga pagkatawo sa ato pagka-Bisaya, og ipakita ang kalisod sa kinabuhing probinsya.

With both its sharpest writing and structuring in years, this year's eight-episode run is Sunny at its most character-centric, hilarious, and relatively grounded. Still would've wanted more episodes, though.

‘Adolescence’ exemplifies and extends the problems of misogyny, incel culture, and the nature of social media beyond what we know and usually practice, exploring how each of us has our own roles in protecting young children online.

Beyond the exquisite cooking and dynamic character moments, The Bear season four further draws its strength from portraying deeply flawed human beings, characters who reflect who they are and who they might become, despite their shortcomings.

‘The Four Seasons,’ starring Tina Fey, Colman Domingo, and Steve Carrell, as 3 middle-aged couples going on weekend getaways for each season of the year, is guaranteed to win over most audiences with its wisdom and subtlety.

Where ‘Andor’ truly stands out from other mainstream stories on war, is its fearlessness into showing the murkier and uglier sides to waging revolutions.

With ‘Incognito,’ you can see the Netflix imprint on ABS-CBN with its slick style and quality action, but it never forgets its Filipino roots through family and camaraderie.
