Movie Review: Michael
From being terrified of the Thriller video as a kid to witnessing his legacy on the big screen, the new Michael biopic is a nostalgic triumph. As a casual fan who grew up with his music, I found the film endearing and visually stunning. While it may paint a "perfect" picture, Jaafar Jackson’s transformative performance makes it feel like MJ is back. Here is why this 8/10 film is a must-watch for anyone who loves pop culture.

Movie Review: Lee Cronin's The Mummy
I wanted to love Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, especially after the triumph of Evil Dead Rise. While the gore is a 10/10 masterclass in nastiness, the movie fails as a reimagining of a classic monster. It feels like an Evil Dead sequel trapped in the desert, losing its identity to derivative tropes and a sluggish pace. Aside from the Egyptian setting, there’s no "Mummy" soul here. A disappointing 6/10 that works for gore-hounds but fails the fans.

Movie Review: Alas Roban
I was fully "seated" for Alas Roban (2026). With director Hadrah Daeng Ratu (Sijjin) and a haunting Nike Ardilla trailer, I expected a masterpiece. Instead, it’s a 5/10 mess. It jams too much lore—white tigers, white monkeys, and mass graves—into one 90-minute plot. It should have been an anthology horror! Even with a stellar cast, the emotional "Train to Busan" vibes fell flat due to cheap jumpscares. My advice? Skip the cinema and wait for Netflix

Movie Review: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie
Does The Super Mario Galaxy Movie reach the stars or fall into a black hole? While the sequel is a visual masterpiece and pure eye candy for kids, it feels more like a collection of Easter eggs than a deep story. From Bowser Jr.’s rescue mission to Yoshi’s big debut, I’m breaking down why this intergalactic adventure earns a 7/10. Is the stunning animation enough to make up for a thin plot? Read my full review!

Movie Review: Ready Or Not 2 - Here I Come
Surviving the Le Domas family was only the beginning. Ready or Not 2: Here I Come brilliantly expands the lore from one family to a global Satanic organization. Picking up immediately after the first film, Grace is thrust into a "double or nothing" game involving six elite families. With a 9/10 rating, this sequel doubles down on the unhinged dark comedy and fast-paced turmoil of the original. It’s a wild, high-stakes ride that proves some family traditions never die.
