★★★★½
Watched it on HBO Max Good editing, seamless transitions.
6
The Lost Bus (2025)
★★★★½
Sa unang tingin, akala ko isa lang itong typical disaster survival film: sunog, takbuhan, sigawan, tapos iyakan sa dulo.
7

★★★★
Right from the first few minutes, the problem of poverty is already evident.
30
13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (2016)

Colors, explosions, and occasional lens flare are definitely Michael Bay DNA.
31

71
Apex (2026)
★★★
127 Hours x Fresh x Send Help x Wild. The film started off with the Troll Wall not looking that convincing, especially compared to something like Everest (2015), but it…
72
Send Help (2026)
★★★
What starts with a rough and distracting CGI-heavy opening eventually settles into a tense survival thriller once the focus shifts to human behavior under pressure.
73
Rango (2011)
★★★
An animated film with a strong western motif, elevated by Roger Deakins’ lighting, which makes it feel surprisingly cinematic.
74
Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)
★★★
75
Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025)
★★★
So ngayon may suicide bomber na rin. That alone already changes the tone of the franchise.

★★½
96
Space Jam: A New Legacy (2021)
★★½
97
Jurassic Park (1993)
★★½
Surprisingly, the CGI is not off because of the combination of animatronics which are appreciated because the level of realness is high.
98
The Gray Man (2022)
★★
Feels like Mission: Impossible Fallout, especially in the attempt to create friction between the lead and the villain, but this never reaches that same level of…
99
Anaconda (2025)
★★
Run and gun from the start. A skeletal crew setup that already spells disaster.
100
Gladiator II (2024)
★½
The film looks very modern, and you can really feel the heavy use of CGI right away.
101
The Irishman (2019)
★½
It has the same vibes as Goodfellas, The Godfather, and The Departed with its mafia centered story and criminal world.
