If we bare them down to their simplest forms, a lot of the ideas in ‘28 Years Later: The Bone Temple’ shouldn't mesh together at all. Except it really does.

‘Primate’ is a brisk, riotous picture that delivers what you’d expect from its synopsis, and does so with striking visual aptness and a whole lot of blood.

Rian Johnson captures magic for a third time in a row with the newest installment of ‘Knives Out,’ led by a superb Josh O’Connor and Daniel Craig. Faith, forgiveness, and locked rooms all collide to make something surprisingly tender and relevant.

Maraming gustong gawin ang ‘Love You So Bad.’ Ang malaking kaso nga lang, masyadong mabilis ang pagbabahagi ang lahat ng relasyon, karakter at storyline. ‘Di man lamang hinimay-himay, basta bato lang ng bato; bahala na sa audience kung sasapul ba sa ulo nila o hindi. Nung umalis nga ako sa sinehan, wala akong dala-dala na galing sa pelikula, maliban lang sa naririndi kong mga tainga. 

‘Scarlet’ is a volatile picture in more ways than one, settling for operatic bombast but still desiring to be a reconstruction of the Shakespearean tale with only a slither of the finesse.

‘Call Me Mother’ demonstrates that motherhood transcends gender and is not defined by birth or blood. It comes in many forms, each leaving a meaningful impact on a child’s life.

 ‘Peacemaker’ Season 2 marks a brave and bold outing for the DCU — one that emphasizes character development, with the cross-dimensional adventures serving as both a backdrop and a slingshot toward the universe’s future.

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.
