JUST MERCY movie review

I have never been so moved and interested in a court movie. This displays how social injustice has been rampant for a long time. Very relevant and a must watch.

This tackles about white supremacy in the United States and how black people fall victim to it. Based on the true story about how civil rights defense attorney Bryan Stevenson (Michael B. Jordan) struggled to bring justice for the wrongly accused members of the death row.

Even Bryan Stevenson almost wasn't able to escape the abuse of the racism that occurs during that time which has motivated him to pursue justice more and take action against the injustice. It has been tough but he knew that he cannot let his people down. A true marking of a hero for his clients and those who trust him, Bryan Stevenson was able to deliver the case of Walter McMillian (Jamie Foxx), one of the most controversial death row cases in that time.

It feels bad for those who were innocent and received the electric chair punishment. Their hopes and dreams were lost. Especially for Herbert Richardson (Rob Morgan) who held on his faith until his last moments. A very nerve wracking experience to sit on his death caused by the poor justice system. It is also noted how people in authority had put many in control just to push on what is not true.

Just Mercy is now showing exclusively at Ayala Malls Cinemas.

CREED II movie review

Adonis Creed (Michael B. Jordan) takes on a new opponent which happens to be Viktor Drago, the son of the person who killed his father in a match, Ivan Drago. Creed also enters a new chapter in life as a father and gets a lot going on when he was first defeated in an initial match with Drago.

Tessa Thompson gave more importance in his life as his wife and bearer of their daughter which made Creed grounded. Creed is a very familiar story especially for families with boxers in it. Phylicia Rashad, playing Creed's mother and Tessa, shares the same worries as he accepted the fight despite he is an expecting father and trying to recover from a severe injury in a previous fight.

Michael B Jordan & Tessa Thompson

But he thought he already met hell but his training under Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) is sure harder. To take on Drago, he has to go through another level of hardships and training. The workout is really something and a #fitspiration.

Sylvester Stallone & Michael B Jordan

Creed II is now showing in cinemas from Warner Bros. Pictures.

BLACK PANTHER movie review

I didn't have a lot of expectations because I barely new Black Panther as a superhero but this movie is the most awesome to date. A glorious movie for the African and black American race that even the trailer has put us all speechless for its awesomeness.

Starting it would just like be any other Marvel movie until you enter the kingdom of Wakanda which has all spectacular and amazing stuff happening from a person to the whole community. A stunning presentation of technological capabilities with a heart. Not only that it gives a great importance to the culture but it also gives its way to women of power and great contributions to society.

For example, Shuri (Letitia Wright) shows her intellectual strength with her great inventions. Little as she would look like, her talented brain has been recognized and apprecited by her ruling brother -- a very good sense of equality between man and woman in the movie. Okoye (Danai Gurira) keeps her promise and loyalty to the throne, Nakia (Lupita Nyong'o) reminds where T'Challa's heart should be. T'Challa's mother Ramonda, though won't be able to fight for her son, was able to give way to unity with other kingdoms which is also a very important thing.

The female members of the Dora Milaje are equally strong and gives the voice to women to fight for what's right and have the power to defend themselves even one of the strongest of their kind like Erik Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan).

Black Panther also displays the rich African culture through its wonderful costume design. When you look closely on the bright fabrics and accessories, the diverse patterns are very well detailed. Even the warfare are also exceptional that made fire weapons primitive. This was the coolest Marvel movie yet.

Black Panther is now showing in cinemas nationwide in 2D, 3D and IMAX formats. Bring everyone, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. :)
