Movie Review: Bullet Train

 

What would you get when you have a bullet train full of passengers, assassins, the yakuza, and seemingly random hits and encounters that all test your luck, karma, and the power of fate? That’s Bullet Train in a nutshell - director David Leitch’s offering that brings a stellar all-star cast that consists of Brad Pitt, Joey King, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry, Andrew Koji, Hiroyuki Sanada, Karen Fukuhara, and much more surprises in this rollercoaster ride of an action comedy that has to be seen in the big screen!

Thanks to the folks at Columbia Pictures Philippines, I got to see this film not once… But TWICE! Saw it in the private screening theater of the studio, and then last Monday at IMAX - which is the definite format for this movie! Here’s some pics from the event to tell the tale and why it was just so hyped and full of energy to see this movie in the big screen! 

That being said, let’s get to the nitty and gritty and see what fate says about Bullet Train - from the director of John Wick, Atomic Blonde, and Deadpool 2!

Movie Review: Godzilla

Ten years... It took TEN LONG YEARS until the creature resurfaced, and FINALLY... THE KING OF MONSTERS HAS RETURNED.

Yes, GODZILLA IS BACK... And in a form that stays true to the spirit of the creature fans and moviegoers have known through the decades since he made his first appearance in the 1954 Japanese movie classic bearing his name. Following a hiatus of production since his last appearance in the movie Godzilla: Final Wars in 2004, Toho chose to retire Godzilla for ten years, which paved the way for a triumphant return in this brand new EPIC REBIRTH that's produced by studios Warner Bros. and Legendary and helmed by "Monsters" director Gareth Edwards.

Following the largely forgettable attempt of the 1998 Roland Emmerich film that introduced us to a pretentious incarnation better known as "Zilla", does this new Godzilla stand firm and worthy to reclaim the title that fans have long dubbed him with? Trailers have certainly pointed towards the direction of a resounding YES, and after a spectacular viewing in IMAX this week courtesy of Warner Bros. Philippines, here's my review of the big comeback of GOJIRA in cinema.
