Movie Review: Faces Of Death
Growing up, the original 1978 Faces of Death traumatized and fascinated me. Naturally, the 2026 slasher reboot had me excited but skeptical. Turning the iconic mockumentary into a modern social media slasher is an okay premise, but the lazy writing and staged settings feel weak. While the gore is fun and Barbie Ferreira delivers a great performance, it misses the eerie magic of the original. Read my full 5/10 review.

Movie Review: Tumbal Proyek
I think I should take a break from watching Indonesian horror for now—or at least until something great comes along from Joko Anwar. Because seriously, what was this movie even trying to be?

A 6/10 experience that hits the nostalgic sweet spot but misses the mark on narrative.

Movie Review: The Devil Wears Prada 2
Think the original was untouchable? Think again. The Devil Wears Prada 2 officially "ate." From the return of the iconic trio (Miranda, Andy, and Emily) to a jaw-dropping Lady Gaga cameo, this sequel tackles the death of print media with style and heart. It’s a mature, high-stakes look at Andy Sachs’ professional growth and the struggle to balance a career with a personal life. If you love fashion and pop culture, this is the 9/10 masterpiece you’ve been waiting for!

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.
