'Anino sa Likod ng Buwan' REVIEW: Tragedy in the Valley

‘Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire’ REVIEW: What Is A Man To A God And A King?
‘Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire’ knows exactly what it wants to be: a maximalist monster affair that puts its biggest stars (literally) front and center of a vibrant and epic kaijū fisticuffs.
