1. 1
   Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016)

   ★★★★★
2. 2
   One Battle After Another (2025)

   ★★★★★

   I went in blind here. Kala ko nung una, dahil sa title, puro violence lang ang ibibigay ng film.

3. 3
   Top Gun: Maverick (2022)

   ★★★★★

   Intense IMAX experience!

4. 4
   Die Hard (1988)

   ★★★★★

   Iba talaga ang charisma ni Bruce Willis nung bata bata pa.

5. 5
   Avengers: Endgame (2019)

   ★★★★★

   This film hits on a level that is hard to replicate.

6. 6
   The Last Temptation of Christ (1988)

   ★★★★★

   I don’t know why, but I felt really unmotivated to watch this.

7. 7
   Moana (2016)

   ★★★★½

   Watched on Sunday December 22, 2019.

8. 8
   The Lost Bus (2025)

   ★★★★½

   Sa unang tingin, akala ko isa lang itong typical disaster survival film: sunog, takbuhan, sigawan, tapos iyakan sa dulo.

9. 9
   Loki (2021)

   ★★★★½
10. 10
    The Shape of Water (2017)

    ★★★★½

    Non spoiler thoughts summary: At its heart, this is a gentle and sincere romance built on trust and recognition rather than words.

11. 11
    She Rides Shotgun (2025)

    ★★★★½

    Taron Egerton brings an intense, unstable energy that keeps a constant sense of danger on screen, while the film grounds itself as a father and daughter story about…

12. 12
    Cargo (2013)

    ★★★★½

    Father and child in a zombie apocalypse trope, but this one has more heart.

13. 13
    The Equalizer (2014)

    ★★★★½

    Sherlock’s brain, Batman’s moral code, John Wick’s brutality, and John McClane’s DIY skills walk into a hardware store.

14. 14
    Nowhere (2023)

    ★★★★½

    Shocking. I care most about her because she’s pregnant.

15. 15
    Unstoppable (2010)

    ★★★★½

    I don’t think I have seen any film like this, with such a believable, imminent, monstrous train as if it is the main villain character of the story.

16. 16
    Man on Fire (2004)

    ★★★★½
17. 17
    Passengers (2016)

    ★★★★
18. 18
    Hacksaw Ridge (2016)

    ★★★★
19. 19
    Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)

    ★★★★

    A wildly creative and emotionally grounded multiverse story that turns chaos into a metaphor for family, regret, and connection.

20. 20
    The End of Oak Street (2026)

    ★★★★

    Wildly entertaining. The trailers really don’t do justice to how fun, dangerous, and surprisingly intense this movie actually is.

21. 21
    The Equalizer 2 (2018)

    ★★★★

    The car fight scene where the assassin pretends to be Robert’s passenger is such a creative action setup.

22. 22
    Silence (2016)

    ★★★★

    From the very first frames, Silence announces itself visually.

23. 23
    Novocaine (2025)

    ★★★½

    The film uses anamorphic lenses, which already gives it that stretched, cinematic look.

24. 24
    Night Always Comes (2025)

    ★★★½

    Her mom is a terrible mom. Inuna pa yung sasakyan kaysa pamilya.

25. 25
    The Mandalorian and Grogu (2026)

    ★★★½

    Fun, charming, and dangerous! Apocalypse Now style of starfighters in the opening credits is pure eye popcorn.

26. 26
    Ne Zha (2019)

    ★★★½

    Ne Zha is a tragedy of a child born cursed.

27. 27
    The Equalizer 3 (2023)

    ★★★

    Best opening scene in the series. It immediately feels more cinematic, and the darker, old school brown color grading gives the film a different identity from the first…

28. 28
    The Last House (2026)

    ★★★

    Greta Lee and Wagner Moura in one film? Count me in!

29. 29
    Taxi Driver (1976)

    ★★★

    Ang bata ni Robert De Niro dito. Parang batang Jake Gyllenhaal energy sa Donnie Darko.

30. 30
    G20 (2025)

    ★★½

    Early on, the film throws a very classic and cliché question at the president: how do we know we can trust you to keep us safe when you can’t even keep your own house in…

31. 31
    Steve (2025)

    ★★½

    The first thing I noticed is the look. Circular bokeh lenses are used, film grain is very evident, and there are interchanging shots that feel like old film or…

32. 32
    The Devil's Mouth (2026)

    ★★½

    The Devil’s Mouth really reminds me of Deep Blue Sea (1999) because of its constant sense of thrill and danger, including how certain things play out.

33. 33
    The Magnificent Seven (2016)

    ★★½

    While watching this, it really reminds me a lot of Seven Samurai (1954).

34. 34
    Run All Night (2015)

    ★½

    Well, it’s kind of the same classic Liam Neeson flick.
