  The King Caesar Rises. The Last Temptation of Caesar. Wow, a perfect threequel to close probably the most underrated trilogy in the modern cinema thanks to being drowned in the sea of other superhero and massive sci-fi blockbusters. The best element of this film was probably its cinematography and the visual effects. The CGI oh wow, they all seems so real that you will sometimes forgot that you're actually watching a movie based on a premise that a CGI ape on a horse is leading a revolution against mankind to succeed planet Earth; which, if such premise is on the hands of different persons/studios, would end up as a horrendous silly B-movie. With that being said, hard to believe that everything that happened in this film's universe was thanks to James Franco. If Caesar was Jesus, so he's God... I guess?  8/10

  I am glad that I have finally watched this film after holding it on my to-watch-list for so long. A good directing debut from Aaron Sorkin and while I was watching it I can't help but feeling that it was like a blend of Gone Girl (cinematography and vibes), The Wolf of Wall Street (a biopic film of a hustler narrated from start to finish) and Casino (a narrated film on gambling and card games); and I meant this in a good way. I think this was Jessica Chastain's best performance so far, she played the character very well and tbh her physical attractiveness add a lot to the role. 8/10 

Finally got around to watch this, and I gotta say it was much better than I expected. A good coming of age/teen comedy film with a lot of realistic elements and heatwarming on its core. I can relate a lot to what Lady Bird was going through even though I'm a guy and this film also unexpectedly was pulling my heartstrings at times. Greta Gerwig is definitely one of the fresh talented filmmaker for our generation and I'm looking forward for Little Women next. 7/10 

It's not bad. I think it's better than Saw 5 or Saw 7 but it feels kind of bland. I think the plot twist this time was something new and brilliant, but there should be more to this movie if Lionsgate really wanted to soft reboot this franchise. I love the Saw franchise. It is on of my favourite horror franchise. The first movie is the best I think, as it was the absolute brainchild coming from James Wan, and the subsequent installments just get progressively worse. I did not expect much from Jigsaw before I watched it but it was not at bad as I think it could get. Still, it was a weak installment and if they want to hard reboot the franchise after this, it would be a wise decision.  5/10 

It was definitely better than Cars 2. It got the fun, light feel yet was able to have it's own "soul" like the first Cars did. Still, it feels kind of plain and not as good as other Pixar's movies. My biggest complain is that the trailers try to sell this movie as if it was a bit grimmer, and about Lightning McQueen try to gain back his glory after getting too comfortable at winning, kind of like Rocky Balboa (2006).  However, the movie had only a bit of that element and focused more about having Lightning McQueen passing down his legacy. Not only that, an element of the story seems to be influenced by forced feminism which is a definite turn off for me. Still, if this is the last installment of Cars, it serves as a good conclusion to McQueen's story. 6/10

It just sucks. I wonder how much they pay Tom Cruise to be in this one, most likely with promises that he's gonna be portrayed so macho and alpha af that even a 5000 years old undead prune wanna fuck him.  Cruise's epicness from the Mission Impossible movies was ruined for me by his participation in this film. I think now he is very well aware that he better be focused to be in only those movies. The most hilarious thing about this film was that it was supposed to kickstart a "Universal monster movies cinematic universe" named as the "Dark Universe". Universal was so eager to jump in the Hollywood's cinematic universe race as they eagerly fast-tracked this project and they even released a trailer commemorating the launch of this universe. And this plan failed miserably by its first movie in the supposed universe as The Mummy bombs commercially and critically. Every year Hollywood never fail to deliver a big budget bomb and this is t
