The long awaited 2021's The Batman trailer was finally released at the DC Fandome Event and fans around the world cheered for it. There are also some voices questioning concerns as to the slight differences of this Batman's interpretation compared to the previous Batmen that we had. Robert Pattinson is our new Batman, and when he was announced to be the new Bruce Wayne, not everyone exactly was happy with this news. Probably because he is mostly known for his Twilight role, a franchise that is not known for being highly rated or praised for its acting, rather the opposite so of course, people would not associate the lead actor from this cringy vampire franchise to be the next face of the most popular superhero. However, having watched several of Robert's recent works, I did not share the same concerns. If anything, his acting from Good Time (2017), High Life (2018) and The Lighthouse (2019) not only assures me that he is going to do fine, but to be fair his performance

I have been waiting for the nominations for a while and they're finally here. Joker sets a record for being the first comic book film to get 11 Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Cinematography and Best Original Scores. As a fellow comic book film and a film fan myelf, I cannot be any more happier. Joker is a very well-made comic book film that deserves such recognitions. Oscar has always been picky with big-budgeted film or sci-fi/superhero  film and it's about time for they to be more considerable. To be honest, a comic book film being nominated as a Best Picture nominee should've happened a long time ago with The Dark Knight. Then, in 2019, obviously due to current political pressure in America, Oscar nominated Black Panther as a nominee for the Best Picture category. Now, I enjoy Black Panther. Killmonger was a very good villain and it definitely one of the good MCU movies. But to consider it as a Best Picture n

I watch more Hollywood movies than any other movies. I guess for most movie lovers, it's the same case as Hollywood dominates the film industry more than any other country. I do, however, has some passion on other movies, such as the Bollywood movies, and Japanese movies (which I am not ashamed to admit, mostly are tokusatsu or anime related). How about my local films? Malaysian movies? Well, I don't know, man. If you are a Malaysian or if you follow Malaysian cinema scene, it can be seen that it is not triumphant. It is not a money-making machine like Hollywood, or not even in terms of producing good, high quality films like Japan, Italy or Frence. Most films released here are in Malay language, catered for Malay audiences, and most of them are, I would say, not good. In terms of production value, as well as the films' messages as well. But I guess the scene is changing now. Back in 2011, when I was in Form 4, I was really into local cinema scene. I followed

    It went without saying that this year's most anticipated movie is none other than Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War . Thanos is finally here and all our heroes are assembling to beat him down. I, myself, just like millions of people around the world, comic book movie lovers or non, am having such a big anticipation towards the premiere night of this movie. It says 27th of April but thank God I already booked my ticket on 26th. Gonna watch it in IMAX 3D, the best treatment a movie watching experience can get. The last time I watched a movie on this format is for Star Wars: The Last Jedi . Talking about Infinity War itself, what I am anticipating the most to see in this movie is how the Russo brothers, the directors, are going to play around with the huge amount of casts in regards of the storytelling. For sure, not all characters are going to get huge amount of spotlight in this movie. The Guardians of The Galaxy gang, for an example, I bet would have an important role
