Kung Fu Panda 4

Po's back in his most challenging adventure ever as Kung Fu Panda returns in its 4th outing as he and his new pals are up against a faceless threat.

Kung Fu Panda 4


With Jack Black reprising his role of Po, the Dragon Warrior, Kung Fu Panda 4 sees the titular character in a much-needed break as the Spiritual Leader of the Valley of Peace until a faceless threat called Chameleon (played by Viola Davis) plots to steal Po's Staff of Wisdom to bring back the enemies Po defeated in previous installments. With uneasy alliances with a thief named Zhen (played by Awkwafina) as well as the Bad Bunnies, Po's on a mission to stop Chameleon's sinister plot for world domination. How hard can it be?

This latest installment showcases how much Po has changed since his last adventure and the awesomeness still kicks in, meaning there's no sign of slowing Po's awesomeness down despite the thrilling action and adventure. With the quick blend of action, comedy, adventure, and moral values, this is the Kung Fu Panda adventure that exceeds expectations.

It's great to have Po back in his heroic and comedic ways. With his latest adventure finally out in the open, it's an awesome time to watch one of the best movies of the 1st quarter of 2024. Not yet springtime but who cares? Enjoy Po's most awesome adventure yet while you can.

Dune: Part Two

The Dune saga returns in the latest installment of the movie adaptation of the best-selling book series where Paul Atreides continues his journey across the most dangerous planet in the universe.

Dune: Part Two

With Timothee Chalamet reprising his Paul Atreides role as well as Zendaya as Chani from the previous installment, the second chapter of the Dune saga directed by Denis Villeneuve sees Paul and Chani as well as the Fremen as he's going hellbent on revenge against those who killed his family. Caught in a consequential choice between love and the fate of the universe, Paul is on a mission to avert a possible cataclysm he foresaw.

The second part of the Dune saga truly picked up where the first part left off spectacularly as fans prepared to see what's next for Paul Atreides as he's on a critical race against time to save the universe by all means. Not only the sequel is better than the first Dune movie, but it's also better than most of the sequels of every movie universe we know such as Batman's The Dark Knight and Star Wars' The Empire Strikes Back. A real tour de force for the first quarter of 2024.

If you enjoyed the first Dune movie three years ago, now's your chance to pick up where it left off with Part Two. It's worth catching up if you're into it.

Ultraman Blazar The Movie: Dai Kaiju Shuto Gekitotsu

Ultraman Blazar, Gento Hiruma, and SKaRD are back for their final mission as they are on a race against time to avert armageddon, whatever it takes.

Ultraman Blazar The Movie:
Dai Kaiju Shuto Gekitotsu

Ultraman Blazar The Movie: Dai Kaiju Shuto Gekitotsu (Giant Monster Clash in the Capital) is set moments after the series finale, and in this true final mission for Blazar and SKaRD, a powerful monster Gongilgan is causing havoc across downtown Tokyo. With lives at stake, Gento Hiruma and the entire SKaRD task force are facing the inevitable, and as time runs out, they are throwing whatever means necessary to prevent an all-out armageddon.

Packed with suspense, thrills, action, drama, plot twists, and the usual Blazar shenanigans that speak louder than his now-famous battle cries, it is the proper sendoff to Blazar's story. Although it was jammed with mixed reactions since last year's TV series, it's more than enough to Plus Ultra to the very end.

With this movie, it's officially case closed for Ultraman Blazar, but the Ultraman New Generation universe will continue. We don't know who and what but watch for it.

Madame Web

Another web has spun into the Marvel universe; this time, it's neither Spider-Man nor Venom. It's about an ordinary woman with an extraordinary power no one saw it coming.

Madame Web

Madame Web, an edge-of-your-seat suspense thriller from the world of Marvel, stars Dakota Johnson as Cassandra Webb, a paramedic who got caught in a terrifying accident, causing her to gain the power to foresee terrible futures and avert them by all means. As Cassandra is caught in a shocking web of revelations, she'll need more than just her to avert her destiny.

Although a paradigm shift from typical Marvel superhero shenanigans, this movie feels like a combination of Stephen King and That's So Raven. You had a main character who can see the future, only darker, and it's a race against time to prevent the inevitable, especially when a killer reminiscent of Venom from Spider-Man 3, shifts this movie into a deadly cat-and-mouse chase.

Full of twists and turns, this movie is impossible to guess and doublethink, and it will leave you entangled in Marvel fashion. 

Don't come watching this movie unprepared because of the unanswered questions this movie possesses. It will spiral you down. If you are fully prepared or overprepared, then Madame Web is a no-brainer for you. Just enjoy it until the last drop.

Argylle (2024 movie)

They say spy movies are always a good choice and in the mind of Matthew Vaughn, this newest spy thriller has it all; thrills, suspense, drama, and dark comic.

Argylle (2024 movie)

Matthew Vaughn's newest masterpiece, Argylle, is about Elly Conway, played by Bryce Dallas Howard, a spy novel author living her quiet life with her cat Alfie. What she didn't know was that her novels started to echo the operations of a real-world spy ring.

Joining alongside Howard is a powerhouse cast of celebrities such as The Witcher's Henry Cavill, Sam Rockwell, Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston, Kefas Brand, singer Dua Lipa, Ariana DeBose, WWE legend John Cena, Samuel L. Jackson, and Sofia Boutella.

With a sleek blend of action, drama, suspense, and dark comedy, Argylle is a spy movie that can't be hidden in plain sight. It's all about everything unraveling as the opportunity arises and when the tension builds, this movie is far out the juiciest until the very end.

Once you enjoyed watching this spy flick, there's no hiding the truth that this is one of the most interesting movies to watch in the first quarter of 2024. No secret's safe with this one.

Mean Girls (2024 movie)

A new generation of Mean Girls has arrived in the cinemas and just like the original Mean Girls, no. You still can't sit with them.

Mean Girls (2024 movie)
Mean Girls (2024 movie)

A new twist of a modern classic high-school comedy-drama by comedienne Tina Fey, the new generation Mean Girls stars Angourie Rice as Cady Heron, ReneƩ Rapp as Regina George, the boss of The Plastics, Bebe Wood as Gretchen, and Avantika as Karen. It also stars Christopher Briney as Aaron, Moana's Auli'i Cravalho as Janis, and Jaquel Spivey as Damian. Tina Fey returns to the reboot as well.

Life for Cady couldn't get even more miserable on her first day of school especially when she got invited to The Plastics and fell in love with the leader's ex-boyfriend. Well, that's high school, and in Cady's case, she's trying to prove that she can outsmart The Plastics, even the leader Regina George herself, by all means.

Like the original, the new generation Mean Girls showcases how modern high school girls behave these days with all the delusions of grandeur that put them at the top of the food chain. Not only that, it also showcases that even the most average of underdogs just like Cady can win the day if all goes to plan, almost. It's stylish, funny, emotional, and in a Mean Girls way, mean. Plastic if some would say.

Think you're ready to sit with the new generation of Mean Girls? Good luck with that.

Five Nights at Freddy's (movie)

The long-awaited live-action movie adaptation of the megahit horror game series, Five Nights at Freddy's, has arrived in theaters and it's going to be as terrifying as the game itself. Don't blink or they'll get you.

Five Nights at Freddy's (movie)

From the producer of horror movie hits like M3GAN, The Black Phone, and The Invisible Man, the live-action movie adaptation of Five Nights at Freddy's centers on a security guard who begins working at the derelict Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, only to find out that this abandoned pizza parlor packed with sinister-looking animatronics is a living hell at the dead of night.

Like the game itself, no part of this movie is safe for all viewers because the live-action FNAF movie is a hellhole of horrors until the very end, and when the iconic but sinister animatronics come flashing through the big screens, get your therapist ready because it will be too traumatizing for you to forget them, especially when you're done watching the movie.

Fans of the hit video game series have been clamoring to bring FNAF to life on the big screen and they've got what they've wanted, a flashing fear fest that stays true to the video game roots, making it the must-watch movie of the Halloween season.

SAW X

The world's gone X-crazy in 2023 ever since the social media platform slashed away the bluebird and called it X, and now, you should add the horror movie franchise SAW to the list of everything X in it because...SAW X is here.

SAW X
SAW X

SAW X, the tenth movie in the SAW movie franchise, is the untold chapter of this twisted bloodbath that is set before the events of SAW III.

Long before John "Jigsaw" Kramer's death in the said movie, the infamous mastermind behind the deadly escape games that killed his players traveled to Mexico in search of a cure to his uncurable disease, only to end up in a scam and the scammers that ruined his life became the players of his deadly set of games.

This latest madhouse really is the missing link to the book of SAW, giving fans a much-needed closure about John Kramer's chronicle before his death in SAW III. Timeline terror aside, it still delivers the same SAW aftershock from the beginning to the end of this movie with the barrage of fatalities and brutalities expected from this untold chapter.

Think you are ready for Jigsaw's other game? Looking forward to survive this untold story from the book of SAW. Consider yourselves crossed.

Gran Turismo (2023 film)

The Gran Turismo series is one of the fastest-selling racing games in the PlayStation series of consoles for two-and-a-half years since the first game launched in December 1997. Due to its unprecedented success and a massive following, the folks behind it prompted to make a movie version out of it and that shocked the whole world.

Gran Turismo (2023 film)

The live-action movie adaptation of Gran Turismo is a shocking feat for the hit racing franchise but this is more than that because this movie adaptation is based on real events.

Based on a true story, the Gran Turismo movie stars Archie Madekwe as Jann Mardenborough, a gamer whose life changed when he gained the biggest break in his life; becoming a racing driver. It also stars David Harbour and Orlando Bloom, among many others, and it's directed by Neill Blomkamp.

Meant to be a historical recreation of Jann Mardenborough's trials and tribulations from gamer to racer, the timeline seems a bit wrong because it features the recent Gran Turismo 7 game as well as the recent Nissan GT-R models rather than the ones from the early 2010s, the Gran Turismo 5 era. Pseudo-historical recreation as such, this movie features stuff never seen in a Gran Turismo franchise (and never will be) such as the Ligier, an Aston Martin Vantage GT3, a Ferrari 488 GT3, a Corvette C8.R, a Porsche 911 GT3 RS (992), a Volkswagen Corrado, and others.

Despite the reenactment's hits and misses, this movie showcases the influence Gran Turismo has done to the world, turning gamers into professional drivers. From virtual to reality, from sim to grid, every lap, every thriller, and every drama, this true-to-life story proves that anyone can get to the top just like Jann. It really is an inspirational tale worth watching from start to finish.

For fans and newcomers of the Gran Turismo franchise, this movie will serve as a moral lesson because if Jann can make it to the top, everybody can. Be a driver, drive hard, and stay focused.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem

COWABUNGA! The new generation of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has arrived on the big screen and it's an all-out, butt-kicking, laugh fest as our iconic heroes in a half shell, redefined for Gen Z, kick mutant butts in the streets of NYC.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles:

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem is an animated movie that features a fresh new take on the iconic cartoon heroes, featuring an all-star ensemble giving voices to familiar favorites such as Nicolas Cantu as Leo, Shamon Brown Jr, as Mikey, Micha Abbey as Donnie, Brady Noon as Raph, Jackie Chan as Master Splinter, and Ayo Edebiri as April O'Neil.

This new breed of TMNT delivers a double hit of butt-kicking action and an endless barrage of jokes only Gen Z kids can truly understand, especially the scene Jungkook must not watch. Yes. Jungkook, please don't watch this because... "insert BTS joke here".

It's just like the Tales of the TMNT TV show a while back in so many ways. When the butt-kicking commences, the laughter begins and with this movie, the gags go full force all the way to their finale where everything starts to unravel.

Some would call it corny, most say this is the best TMNT movie of this generation. Sure, it is a corny movie indeed but we all love corny jokes. This is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, redefined for the Gen Z youth.

Get your popcorn ready, kids.
