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.

BAD BOYS FOR LIFE movie for International Popcorn Day at SM Cinema

SM Cinema presents Bad Boys For Life as their special movie offering for the International Popcorn Day last January 19 in SM Megamall. Poppy the Popcorn graced the event and danced to Tala and gave away free popcorn to movie audiences, not just for Bad Boys for Life but to all who watched on the same day in other cinemas.

Bad Boys for Life continues the story of Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence). Since this is their last case together, the story line contains a heart revealing Lowrey's past. Burnett also embraced a new chapter in his life. The bad boys' charisma, packed with ammunition and explosive stunts, Bad Boys for Life gives a good curtain call. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence made a great time in the conclusion of the series but we're still wanting for a sequel.

The team ensemble composed of Paola Nunez, Vanessa Hudgens, Charles Melton and Alexander Ludwig gives a refreshing spirit alongside Smith and Lawrence. The humor and kick-ass antics were very notable too. SPOILER: Vanessa Hudgens' action star image experiment did not escape the subtle HSM joke within the movie.

Overall it's a great movie that you can watch with friends or family (Parental Guidance is advised for violence).

Bad Boys for Life is now showing in SM Cinemas. Download the SM Cinema app for movie schedules and book your tickets in advance.

THE GRUDGE (2020) movie review

Once you enter the house, it'll never leave you.

The curse follows investigators and kills them one by one in the Hollywood adaptation of the Japanese horror The Grudge. Given the scares and mysteries that help Detective Muldoon (Andrea Riseborough) to solve the case, this movie somehow lacks the Ju-On trademark characters. It focused on solving the mystery with an open ending and it seemed longer than the whole 94 minutes with a slow story development.
