Here are my quick reviews for these movies/tv shows along with my grade: 1. 100 Tula Para Kay Stella (2017) Review: JC Santos and Bella Padilla lead a compelling story that forgot its love story. 3/5 2. Dunkirk (2017) Review: Nolan at his finest, heart-pounding survival story presented like you're wearing a VR headset. Must-see in  IMAX. 4.5/5 3. Baby Driver  (2017) Review: Together with its technical superiority and killer score, awesomeness becomes a likely Oscar contender. 4.5/5

Here are my quick reviews for these movies/tv shows along with my grade: 1. Wonder Woman (2017) Review: Patty Jenkins delivers a great  Wonder Woman  movie with good characterization, awesome scenes and an inspiring hero that is timely in our time. It is worth noting that it is a better kind of fun movie that gets comedy from the characters' personalities. Overall, this non-arguably the best DCEU movie yet. 4/5

Quick Review: Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla carry forgettable 'Can't Help Falling in Love'

Here are my quick reviews for these movie/tv show along with my grade: 1. Can't Help Falling in Love  (2017, Romance) Review: Solid performances from Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla carried the forgettable plot of Can't Help Falling in Love . It has some pretty enjoyable moments and will surely please the fanbase. It's a kind of movie you will smile inside the theater and forget after leaving the theater. Grade 2.5/5 2. Kong: Skull Island (2017, Action) Review: It's kind of bold to see Kong take the famous brand to a different take. It is also worth noting the movie's music and cinematography which is unique for a generic blockbuster movie. You might only find something missing on the movie's characters. Overall this reboot is a fun, crazy, and solid adventure that leaves you wanting more (and yes, there's a crossover coming). Grade 3/5

Quick Review: 'My Ex and Whys' falls; now at Chapter 6, 'Riverdale' continues its guilty pleasure status

Image
Here are my quick reviews for these movie/tv show along with my grade: 1. My Ex and Whys  (2016, Romance) Quick Review: My Ex and Whys  moves to a not so Star Cinema route but ends with a very Star Cinema route. If it wasn't for the performances from Liza Soberano and Enrique Gil and a strong direction by Director Cathy Garcia-Molina, it would have been a generic Wattpad movie. Grade: 3/5 2. Riverdale (S01E06, "Chapter Six: Faster, Pussycats! Kill! Kill!") Quick Review: Archie finally gets a better storyline this week. The adventures of Betty and Jughead remains the most interesting part. Veronica continues her Veronica attitude. It's interesting that Riverdale  presents the stories of different characters in the community rather than focusing on the mystery of Jason's death alone. Grade: 4/5

Quick Review: 'Hidden Figures' soars; 'Sing' delivers

Here are my quick reviews for these movies/tv show along with my grade: 1.  Hidden Figures (2016, Drama) Quick Review: Powered by strong performances by Taraji Henson, Octavia Spencer and Janelle Monae, Hidden Figures  is an uplifting, powerful story that presents the importance of small roles in making history. Grade: 4/5 2. Sing (2016, Animation) Quick Review: Sing  is a fun, sweet and charming movie that you can always expect from an Illumination Entertainment feature. This may not reach the heights of the animated classics but it's worth your time. Grade: 3/5 Photo Source: Collider, IMDB
