[8/10 · 10 June 2024]

"HIT MAN" is an engaging and entertaining film that balances suspense and humor quite well. The storytelling is simple and understated, characteristic of director Richard Linklater's style. As expected from Linklater, the movie is dialogue-heavy, providing rich, thought-provoking content.

The film delves into themes of psychology, philosophy, and personal development, exploring these areas extensively and effectively. It's not your typical action-packed, slapstick comedy; instead, it offers a more intellectual and reflective experience.

If you're expecting a mainstream action-comedy, take a closer look at the director's name! Linklater, known for films like "Boyhood," "Everybody Wants Some!!," "Before Sunset," "Before Sunrise," "Before Midnight," and "School of Rock," brings his unique touch to "HIT MAN," making it a worthwhile watch for those who appreciate deeper narratives and character studies.

[9/10 · 6 June 2024]

This movie is an exhilarating, action-packed, and hilarious ride that delivers on all fronts. It's significantly more enjoyable than the third installment, likely due to the fresh vision of the new director, who has managed to elevate the franchise to new heights.

Adding to the excitement, Michael Bay himself makes a cameo appearance, and there's even a nod to TikTok influencers. Overall, this movie is a total blast, providing full-on entertainment and a delightful throwback to the '90s era. It's a thoroughly enjoyable film that captures the spirit and essence of the original movies beautifully.

Absolutely riveting! Tremendously thrilling, and incredibly intense! I love the narrative style, keeping viewers on the edge with its suspenseful storytelling. The use of music as a score is excellent, adding so much to the experience. The cinematography is impeccable from every angle, and the ending is just mind-blowing! It's a must-watch!

The director's signature style is still evident, even though this is a departure from their usual genre. The film is packed with intensity, with every frame exuding their trademark flair. It's so impactful! It's hard to believe anyone would overlook this. Unfortunately, it's had limited theater screenings, which is a real shame for those who haven't had the chance to see it on the big screen. Truly outstanding!

Touching, Tear-Jerking, yet Not Quite Tearful

[9/10 · 4 April 2024]

"Touching, Tear-Jerking, yet Not Quite Tearful

This film pulls at your heartstrings, evoking a sense of nostalgia and sentimentality for everyone in the family. It strives to maintain a feel-good atmosphere without delving too deeply into melodrama or stress. With a strong Japanese drama influence, the mood and tone set by the score give the film a charming and pleasant feel, not overly sad. While some attempts at comedic relief may feel a bit unnecessary, overall, it strikes a balance that prevents it from plunging into overwhelming sadness. Nevertheless, there are still plenty of scenes that will bring tears to your eyes.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024)

It's an epic showdown, packed with great entertainment

[8/10 · 27 March 2024]

"Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire"

It's a smashing good time, offering solid entertainment that meets the standards of what a monster flick should be. There's nothing particularly fresh or new here, just the familiar sights we've seen before. The plot and characters are cookie-cutter, but there's a decent amount of fun mixed in. The film tries to wreak havoc on multiple countries, reminiscent of Michael Bay's style, turning it into a global crisis scenario, but it doesn't quite hit those heights. Still, it's not as bad as feared, and ultimately, it's just plain fun to watch.

It's a good movie for family time!

Exhuma (2024)

"Spine-tingling, eerie, truly terrifying. This is the epitome of a horror movie

[10/10 · 18 March 2024]

"Spine-tingling, eerie, truly terrifying. This is the epitome of a horror movie. It slowly guides us through layers of fear, gradually immersing us in encounters that challenge our beliefs. Despite its wealth of information, you may need to catch up a bit, but even if you can't keep pace, it remains equally entertaining.

I admire the restrained yet powerful use of sound in the film. Unlike some Thai movies that inundate viewers with intense sound effects, this one subtly leads the audience, leaving them to experience the fear and shock organically.

Overall, this movie promises a thrilling, chilling experience that's not to be missed.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019)

Full of action-packed but lack of story

[7/10 · 29 May 2019]

This movie is fun-filled, the scenes are action-packed, and there are explosions on every scenes. However, its story is almost empty, so the narrative becomes off-track and ends nowhere. The first part was more appealing than this one.

Aladdin (2019)

Another Great Live Action Disney Movie!

[9/10 · 22 May 2019]

It's fun, entertaining, small-laughing. it's like watching a musical drama. The movie still has the signature of the movie director Guy Ritchie (Snatch, Sherlock Holmes) in the editing and sequencing. And all with the Will Smith's style. But there's nothing to surprise that much.
