FUUTO PI: Kamen Rider Skull no Shouzou

FUUTO PI, the animated continuation of the 2009 Kamen Rider TV series, Kamen Rider W, returns, this time at the cinemas as the trio are facing their most daring case yet.

FUUTO PI: Kamen Rider Skull no Shouzou

FUUTO PI: Kamen Rider Skull no Shouzou, the movie continuation of the FUUTO PI anime series, picks up moments from the TV anime where Shutaro Hidari and Phillip are gripping themselves in the shadows of Shokichi Narumi, better known as Kamen Rider Skull.

The most shadowy Rider from Kamen Rider W finally made his anime appearance. Apart from his long-awaited return to the world of FUUTO PI, the suspense and drama truly overshadowed the duo's hard-boiled atmosphere, where the fun stops and the terror begins. For Kamen Rider W fans, this movie is the ultimate in suspense and action.

As the FUUTO PI manga series nears its climax, this movie clearly reminds them that it is a blessing and a curse for those who are extreme fans of the Kamen Rider W saga. It is a sign of things to come.

Joker: Folie à Deux

The origin story of one of the deadliest criminals in the Batman universe continues in what was known to be the long-awaited sequel to the 2019 blockbuster movie.

Joker: Folie à Deux
Joker: Folie à Deux

Joaquin Phoenix returns to reprise the role of Joker in the next chapter of Joker's origin story, directed by Todd Phillips, who was responsible for the award-winning 2019 movie.

Set moments after the first film, as Arthur "Joker" Fleck, played by Phoenix, is institutionalized at Arkham awaiting trial for his crimes, he makes a fateful encounter with a mysterious woman, played by singer Lady Gaga, who will break his heart and, ultimately, break him out to freedom.

Gaga's performance as the mysterious woman in the sequel sparked speculations that this is the origin story of Harley Quinn, a femme fatale who is Joker's right-hander but it's extremely complicated to answer.

Despite complicating questions and answers overshadowing the sequel, it's still a credible artisan pick. It might be a worthy contender for next year's Oscars because it still delivers powerful emotions like the previous Joker movie. 

This sequel sure knows how to "face the music" spectacularly and this bigger and bolder sequel is one of the must-watch of the autumn movie season.

THE WILD ROBOT

One of the most memorable children's books by Peter Brown comes to life from the folks who gave you Shrek, Madagascar, and Kung Fu Panda. Time to discover what it means to be...wild.

THE WILD ROBOT
THE WILD ROBOT

THE WILD ROBOT, a movie adaptation of a bestselling book by Peter Brown, is the latest masterpiece from DreamWorks Animation. It features an all-star ensemble who lend their voices to this animated movie such as Lupita Nyong'o, The Mandalorian actor Pedro Pascal, Bill Nighy, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice's Catherine O'Hara, Kit Connor, and Stephanie Hsu.

This movie centers on the life of a robot called ROZZUM 7134, "Roz" for short, who got stranded on a mysterious island. Feared by its inhabitants, Roz began caring for a newly hatched gosling named Brightbill. She later joined forces with Fink, a calm but questionable fox with a rather selfish attitude to help nurture the gosling and mature. Struggling about her true purpose, Roz discovers the meaning of home, family, and freedom within the wilderness.

Another calm and mindful robot movie since WALL-E, THE WILD ROBOT showcases the true meaning of home, family, and freedom. The bedazzling visuals, music, and sound are easily overshadowed by the storytelling that proves even a steel-bodied mechanical wanderer can embrace its wild side. Contrary to every robot character we know, it CAN experience love.

This is by no means one of the must-watch movies of the Fall Season. With its heartwarming storytelling and stunning visuals, THE WILD ROBOT is as WILD as it gets. Nature calls.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

The Juice is Loose again as The Ghost with the Most returns in this long-awaited sequel of the megahit horror-comedy movie that will make you juiced to say his name three times.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

With Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder reprising their roles of the trickster demon Beetlegeuse and his victim Lydia Deetz, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is the present-day sequel that also stars Catherine O'Hara, Justin Theroux, Monica Belucci, Jenna Ortega (Wednesday), and Wilheim Dafoe.

In this sequel, Lydia lives as a widow of her daughter Astrid, played by Jenna Ortega. With news from her mother that her father died, things are spiraling out of control for Lydia. When her daughter Astrid fell into a paranormal trap, it didn't take long until Lydia summoned her biggest nightmare, Beetlegeuse, to save her daughter from the afterlife.

This long-awaited sequel to the megahit horror-comedy movie "Beetlejuice" has enough horrifying and hilarious moments to keep you on the edge of your seat. While it may not be as terrifying or funny as the original, it's still a worthy addition to the autumn movie season.

It takes guts to redefine Beetlejuice for the 21st century and he's still scary as ever. Typical Tim Burton alchemy, if you catch my drift.

Halloween has arrived early thanks to this terrifying and comical sequel to the classic horror-comedy movie that will make heads roll. Feeling juiced to be juiced by the Juice? Well, that's all you're getting.

The Ghost with the Most is juiced up to see you again...

Nijigasaki High School Idol Club Kanketsu-hen Chapter 1

Yes, everybody knows you are starting to miss the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club ever since, well, you get the idea. Since the whole world's missing them so much, the girls are back in the first chapter of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club movie trilogy that will serve as the true ending for the girls' adventure.

Nijigasaki High School Idol Club Kanketsu-hen Chapter 1
Nijigasaki High School Idol Club
Kanketsu-hen Chapter 1

The Nijigasaki High School Idol Club is back in its first theatrical outing, "Nijigasaki High School Idol Club Kanketsu-hen Chapter 1". It's the first chapter of the movie trilogy that will serve as the true ending for the girls' adventure. The girls are in Okinawa, taking on a new challenge; the School Idol GPX (Grand Prix). Ayumu Uehara, Kasumi Nakasu, Shizuku Osaka, Kanata Konoe, Emma Verde, and Zhou Lanzhu are chosen to take part in the event where school idols across Japan clash to become "the most popular school idol right now".

This movie features signature moments fans have come to expect from the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club: comical mischief, dramatic moments, and the cream of the crop: musical sequences. Trust them, it's the musical performances that the fans are clamoring for after moments of being distanced. It's proof that no matter what happens, the Nijigasaki girls are here to stay.

The Okinawa setting is a turning point for this movie. It's the first time a Love Live movie has been set on its home soil. When you watch an anime show or movie, you usually see a selection of beautiful landscape photographs. This movie is one of those. When fans enjoyed watching the movie, they were inspired to rush to the locations they saw in the movie and take pictures to share with the world. That's the spirit of touring, not just the Nijigasaki way, but the Love Live way.

Similar to 2018's Love Live! Sunshine!! The School Idol Movie, no two post-credits sequences are the same because this movie features different post-credits sequences. True Love Live fanatics must re-watch this movie every day to experience the entire post-credits sequences. Sounds hard but it's worth the shot.

Their first movie adventure is a must-see for fans, especially those who missed them. It has comedy, drama, music, and the usual Nijigasaki moments. Don't expect anything in return, but be prepared for what comes next!

Great to have you back, girls. Bring it on!

KING OF PRISM -Dramatic PRISM.1-

The Septentrion boys are back as they face the ultimate challenge in the first chapter of the KING OF PRISM Dramatic PRISM movie saga.

KING OF PRISM -Dramatic PRISM.1-
KING OF PRISM -Dramatic PRISM.1-

The world of KING OF PRISM by Pretty Rhythm is back with the first chapter of the KING OF PRISM Dramatic PRISM movie saga as the Septentrion boys are back to kick off their ultimate challenge ever faced. In this movie, set after the events of 2019's Shiny Seven Stars, the Edel Rose and the Schwarz Rose are locked in a titanic clash at the PRISM1, the showdown that will determine who will wear the Prism Champ crown.

In typical KinPri fashion, fans can expect iconic moments such as the songs, the prism jumps, and the appeal that these male idols can pull. Of course, they can expect some crude comic humor, tearful drama, suspense, and a cliffhanger at the end of this film, giving fans what comes next when the first chapter of the Dramatic PRISM saga ends.

The showdown for the Prism Champ crown is a taste of what to expect for Septentrion's ultimate challenge ever faced and when the first chapter ends, be ready for what's next in this dramatic saga from KING OF PRISM.

AFRAID (2024 movie)

Since the twilight of the pandemic, AI has become an exploding trend. Most AI applications are beneficial, but some are controversial, and a few are horrifying. From the producer of horror movies such as M3GAN and The Black Phone comes a horrifying twist on the AI trend.

AFRAID (2024 movie)
AFRAID (2024 movie)


AFRAID is a horror movie written and directed by Chris Weitz. It's a horrifying twist on the ever-growing AI trend. A family is selected to try out a new home device called AIA. AIA makes their lives convenient until it goes berserk. The family must risk everything to escape AIA's clutches.

This horror movie is proof that this is the future we live in because humans like us over-relied on AI trends such as the ever-popular Amazon Alexa, ChatGPT, Siri, and others. It exposes us to what happens when AI takes control of our lives and leaves us in an inescapable death trap. Welcome to the new normal, people.

What better way to end the summer than to see a horror film that exposes the horrors of our overreliance on AI?

ALIEN: ROMULUS

The Alien universe is back with a new installment that is sure to bring fear straight to your face. This new film in the franchise is sure to terrify audiences.

ALIEN: ROMULUS
ALIEN: ROMULUS

Starring Cailee Spaeny, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Isabela Merced, Spike Fearn, and Aileen Wu, ALIEN: ROMULUS is set two decades after the first ALIEN movie and nearly four decades before ALIENS. A group of young space colonizers are scavenging the remains of an abandoned space station, only to come face-to-face against...the deadliest creature that ever existed.

Romulus is a terrifying chapter in the Alien franchise. It's sure to make your skin crawl. No one is safe from the extraterrestrial punishment this installment delivers even when you fully watched the entire film. 

It's difficult not to forget the grotesque moments this film delivers because, like the visual, it goes straight to your face in a parasitic fashion.

You've been warned, fans and newcomers to the Alien franchise. This newest installment is the grotesque way to end your summer break in a parasitic manner.

Heartsping: Teenieping of Love

For four TV seasons and over a hundred Teeniepings encountered,  Romi and her Teenieping partner Heartsping have embarked on a magical journey to capture runaway Teeniepings and save the day. For the first time ever, the world of Catch! Teenieping is now on the big screen and the origin story between them has finally been uncovered.

Heartsping: Teenieping of Love
Heartsping: Teenieping of Love

The world of Catch! Teeneiping is now on the big screen with the origin story set before the TV series. It's titled Heartsping: Teenieping of Love and this is the story of how Romi, the princess of the Emotion Kingdom, first met the Teenieping of Love named Heartsping. This origin story features new characters such as Romi's friend Mari, Prince Liam, and a shadowy Teenieping that poses the biggest threat.

Getting to know more about the whole Emotion Kingdom, Romi's humble beginnings, her first encounter with Heartsping, and the climax that made them the unbeatable duo everybody loved, the origin story really is a must-watch for fans and newcomers alike. Of course, being a Catch! Teenieping adventure that started it all, you can't hide away from the cuteness this movie delivers, especially Heartsping's humble beginnings.

This origin story of Catch! Teenieping has everything you want from a kid’s movie. It’s fun, adorable, and action-packed. Plus, if you’re an aespa fan, you’ll get a kick out of Winter performing the movie’s theme song.

Revolver (2024 film)

As one video game villain said, "Touch that wire and the C4 will blow up along with the old man!" 

Well, this movie is one of the most intense action thrillers to hit Korean cinemas during the summer season. The movie is called...REVOLVER and it's loaded with more than six bullets to kill anything that moves. Let's see why this movie is called "Revolver".

Revolver (2024 film)
Revolver (2024 film)

Starring Ji Chang Wook, Lim Ji Yeon, Kim Jun Han, Kim Jong Soo, Jung Man Sik, and Jeon Do Yeon, among others, this intense action suspense thriller centers Do Yeon in the role of a former police officer named Ha Soo Young, who was imprisoned after taking the fall for a crime. When she was freed, she had a new purpose.

I can’t recommend this movie enough. It’s a revolving tale of betrayal and redemption. This movie, like an ocelot, never lets its prey escape and hiding won’t help you. The characters and the storytelling are so much more than a revolver's power and its so-called muzzle velocity.

It's been a long time since the celebrities featured in this suspense thriller had a good fight in their past projects and as the revolver said, "You're pretty good." They were lucky because they really did live up to their legends but they're just getting warmed up.

The twists and turns kept moviegoers on the edge of their seats. This movie definitely lives up to its title, and this is recommended to anyone looking for an exciting night at the movies.

This is exactly why this movie is titled "Revolver".

DRAW!

Twisters (2024 film)

The 1996 disaster movie "Twister" saw a group of underdogs tracking down the most powerful storm in decades. With global warming becoming the talk of the world, it became appropriate to unleash its modern-day sequel to the 1996 blockbuster.

Twisters

Directed by Lee Isaac Chung and produced by the same folks behind the Jurassic, Bourne, and Indiana Jones series, Twisters is a modern-day chapter of the 1996 classic disaster flick where a group of storm chasers tracks down powerful tornadoes wreaking havoc across the village.

It's a shame the original cast didn't make it to this sequel, which is the biggest weakness this movie showcases, but this movie feels topical and real at the same time because it showcases the grim reality of today's world where global warming can easily trigger record-breaking storms, especially twisters. This is exactly why a modern-day take on a 1996 classic was made.

Amazingly, RAM Trucks were involved in this movie, providing their toughest trucks to withstand the world's deadliest tornadoes unleashed in this movie. Thank you, Stellantis.

Although it nearly doesn't feel like the original, Twisters showcased the grim reality of today's world thanks to global warming. If you got blown away by the 1996 original, just wait until you enjoy its present-day chapter. Be warned.

Fly Me to the Moon (2024 film)

Is it possible that NASA faked the moon landing? It's the question that's been on everyone's mind for decades. While some people believe it was real, others think it was an elaborate hoax. Now, in a new rom-com pseudo-historic recreation, we get to see what the story behind the story might have been. There's a lot more to the story than you might expect.

Fly Me to the Moon (2024 film)
Fly Me to the Moon (2024 film)

FLY ME TO THE MOON stars Scarlett Johansson as a marketing professional and Channing Tatum as a launch director who has to team up to stage a fake moon landing to save NASA’s historic Apollo 11 mission. It’s a rom-com with a pseudo-historic twist.

There's been a lot of debate about the moon landing. Was it real, or was it a hoax? Fly Me to the Moon doesn't offer any real answers, but it is a fun and lighthearted movie. 

The movie does a good job of showing the challenges and the drama that would have been involved in such an undertaking. There are some funny moments, too. Overall, it's an enjoyable movie that doesn't take itself too seriously.

Despicable Me 4

Despicable Me 4
Despicable Me 4

You heard it right, the Minion Rush is back for more in Despicable Me 4, the continuing saga of the life and times of Gru, a former supervillain turned Anti Villain League agent played by comedian Steve Carrell as he, Lucy (played by Kristen Wiig), and the girls Margo (iCarly's Miranda Cosgrove), Edith (Dana Gaier), and Agnes (Madison Polan) welcome the birth of their newborn baby boy named Gru Jr. However, their time as a family is tested when supervillains Maxime Le Mal (voiced by Will Ferrell) and his femme fatale girlfriend Valentina (voiced by Sofia Vergara) are plotting to take over the world and ruin Gru's life.

Of course, this is not Despicable Me without the iconic Minions, and for this installment, viewers new or old are greeted with the addition of Mega Minions such as the rocket-shaped Mega Gus, the luchador-esque Mega Dave, the Cyclops-copycat Mega Mel, the stretchable Mega Tim, and the super-strong super-weird Mega Jerry. Trust me, that Mega Jerry gives me the creeps. The Pit Crew Minions and the AVL Minions also join in the fun. No problemo!

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga

The secret origin of Furiosa, a character who appeared in the Mad Max Fury Road movie a decade ago, has arrived and it's going to be "fast" and "Furiosa". Pun intended.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga

Starring Anya Taylor-Joy as the young Furiosa and Thor actor Chris Hemsworth, the spin-off to the Mad Max saga curated by George Miller uncovers more on Furiosa, a character who appeared in the award-winning blockbuster, Mad Max Fury Road.

A Mad Max movie without Mad Max himself feels odd. Still, because the insane world of Mad Max deserved to be expanded since the 2015 movie and the video game spin-off, this spinoff movie is a clear reminder that the Mad Max universe is opening up for more possibilities.

As fans got the chance to get to know Furiosa's secret origins, the classic Mad Max recipe is still there; lots of destructive carnage, hellish stunts, and an insane cast of characters minus the Mad Max you know. It's everything mad men want in a story of a femme fatale who's about to incite chaos against chaos.

Even without Mad Max, the secret origin of Furiosa proves that the franchise blows its doors off for expansion opportunities, and "what a lovely day" it is. Want chaos? Watch this movie. It's the most chaotic thing from the Mad Max universe.

Civil War (2024 film)

From the visionary mind of Alex Garland comes a thought-provoking master-class movie that paints a darker picture of America.

Civil War (2024 film)

Starring Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura, Jesse Plemons, Cailee Spaeny, Stephen McKinley Henderson, and Nick Offerman, Civil War, the magnum opus masterpiece by Alex Garland, who is responsible for movies such as 28 Days Later, EX MACHINA, and Annihilation, is set in a dystopian future America when government and rebel forces clash throughout the entire nation. As the civil war intensifies, a group of journalists are racing against time to reach the capitol.

Although purely fictional, Civil War is a warning sign to American society because of the political tensions the country is facing today. Politics aside, this masterpiece is more than just a "war movie" because its dark and powerful storytelling is peppered with drama and values this movie possesses. Such storytelling earned Civil War the right to be called an "artisan pick" and the whole world got its attention.

A dark portrayal of America amid political turmoil is worth checking out in cinemas as Civil War ultimately proves its point that it might happen when politics in America spiraled out of control.

Yumi's Cells: The Movie

After two seasons, the hit TV series Yumi's Cells made its way to the big screen as the titular cells were up against the biggest challenge of their lives to keep their host human Yumi happy.

Yumi's Cells The Movie

In the movie version of the hit TV series, Yumi decides to prepare for a contest after achieving the dream of becoming an author but she's starting to worry about the future. As the conflict between the cells intensifies, their beloved cell villages are at risk of euthanasia. It's up to Yumi to get herself back and regain her happiness.

Unlike the TV series it was based on, the movie version is focused solely on 3D animation, meaning it's basically a cartoon movie for the whole family to enjoy if they're into it. Still, even without the K-drama bits from the TV series, the movie showcased the peak of Yumi's Cells, showcasing the closure fans needed after the end of the show's second season.

Fans who've watched the rest of Yumi's Cells look no further to watch the movie version for the closure but for those who have not seen the K-drama, it looks fine. Either way, this is the peak of it. This is the Yumi's Cells everybody knows at Victory Road and it's time to give thanks to the cells that made it possible.
