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 am going on a daily marathon of Martin Scorsese's films, and I would say that this film showed just how versatile Scorsese is. From releasing a mafia story in 1990, to thriller in 1991, then to a good 1800s New York romance drama in 1993. The Age of Innocence felt like it's one of the classic 1920s-50s Hollywood films that was set in the pre-war or 1800s America, and the performances of Daniel Day-Lewis and Michelle Pfeiffer added strongly to this effect. It's hard to believe that this film was released in 1993 when the settings, costumes and prop were all nicely polished and set as in the 1800s. This film also showed just how powerful Daniel Day-Lewis' acting is and just how great and a versatile actor he is. I watched this film after watching Gangs of New York, and it's hard for me to believe that the brutal racist gangster in Gangs is the same actor that portrayed this calm and composed soft-speaking gentleman in Age of Innocence. This is definitely one of Sc

  Mehh it's alright.  You can definitely expect that it would not be a smart movie or a well-choreographed practical action movie, but the chemistry between The Rock & Statham was fine. And I like the unexpected secret cameo. Still, this film was really not in league with other films in the Fast & Furious franchise, it was filled with crappy CGI, overly used cheap humour, too much slow mo and illogical action scenes (yes, even for Fast & Furious standard). 6/10

The last time I watched this film was back in 2009 at my school, when my replacement teacher showed this movie for us on a projector in a science lab. So my memory about it was very vague and upon a proper rewatch, I am actually slightly disappointed. The first film was a classic, and the second & third installment were basically good, enjoyable 80s action popcorn movie. 20 years later, after Rambo III, we found out that Rambo is now living in Thailand, isolated and far from his old life. I expected more from this as it was directed by Stallone himself, but sadly a lot of aspects of this film were a failure. The story was simple, not a problem but damn it, the casts, everyone basically besides Rambo were annoying, miserable and badly written. The cinematography was nothing extraordinary, and the CGI was hideous and notably bad on a lot of action scenes.  Eventhough the music scores by Brian Tyler was good, as well as the gruesome realistic potrayal of the Burmese civil war was inte

  A very good feel good film. It has been such a long time since a film gave me such good vibes and made me happy after watching it. Also my mouth was watering seeing Jon Favreau sizzling, sautéing, and frying stuffs in the kitchen. And now I'm curious on how a cubano tastes like. That little unexpected cameo was also fun. 8/10

  Chris Hemsworth's new Netflix film Extraction turned out to be worth the watch.  It is a good action-packed popcorn film and this film showed that Hemsworth is the one amongst the OG Avengers who has the most diverse acting range and also a bright career post Endgame. 6/10
