KUBOT THE ASWANG CHRONICLES 2: 4.5/5

Kubot: The Aswang Chronicles 2 felt like a bunch of awesome clips that were cohesively mashed to produce a peculiar and heavily entertaining film. Even if it didn’t win the Best Picture award, it’s still a movie that you can be proud of because of its world-class production and one of a kind story.

MY BIG BOSSING: 3.5/5

Not a huge comeback, but the Vic Sotto film that we loved is back in My Big Bossing. This doesn’t apply to everyone but if you want your kids to be kind, honest and become closer to you, let them enjoy this. If you want them to be stubborn and disrespectful, watch the top-grossing movie of the week.

SHAKE, RATTLE & ROLL XV: 3.5/5

Shake, Rattle & Roll XV proves that the Filipino horror is nowhere near to be dead. With the help of skillful filmmakers and fascinating superstitions in this country, the Christmas tradition will live and continuously adapt for generations to come.

FENG SHUI 2: 3/5

– Nowhere near as good as its predecessor but the intentional absurdity of it is enjoyable to watch. Less logic, more fun for a horror film that makes fun of ridiculous beliefs.
