The First Purge (2018) Genre: Action, Sci-Fi, Thriller Let's Participate! Let's Purge! The First Purge is the fourth movie of purge film franchise. This is an enjoyable and thrilling movie. With the same concept as the first three purge movies. Twelve (12) hours of lawlessness, where all crimes including murder become legal.  The Fist Purge tells how it all starts. The movie intro really marked. It was strong, a conversation between a statesman and a distressed person where the word Purge spill out. The characters likable, and the story was exciting from first until the end. A little downside, the movie short of some explanation. Add this movie to your watchlist! My Rating: 7/10, Enjoyable, Thrilling Watch the trailer! Do you like about this movie? Write your comments below. Please subscribe to my blog and follow what2watch on facebook. Push Play!

Mr. & Mrs. Cruz (2018) Genre: Drama All are just right and this made the movie interesting. This is a combination of not too heavy drama and the right amount of comedy and romance. A perfect mix!  Honestly, I just expect that this will be just an OK movie. But I was surprised! This movie is a WOW! The story and characters are believable and relatable. It's like the story of everyone who got over to or going through a heartbreak. The story is about Raffy (JC Santos) and Gela (Ryza Cenon) who are both heartbroken travelers spending their respective me-time in El Nido Palawan. Because they are in the same tour group and share the same last name, they are mistaken for a married couple. This movie is as beautiful as El Nido. A must-see.

Thor: Ragnarok (2017) Genre: Action, Comedy, Adventure (Available on HOOQ) If you are looking for an action comedy movie. Go and pick Thor: Ragnarok and probably, this gonna be one of your favourites. The Godlike humour of Thor made this movie awesome and rememberable.

You could not ask for more.  The story is about how Thor (the God of Thunder) will save his homeworld Asgard from the Ragnarok or destruction. This movie is fun to watch. Thor + Hulk = Certified Fun!

Orphan (2009) Genre: Mystery, Horror, Thriller (Available on Iflix) Very evil, bad, and dark. I was surprised by the concept and the violence. I can't imagine that an innocent looking child can be that brutal. All the actors did a good job especially Isabelle Fuhrman who played Esther (the adopted child). This movie is impressive. I can't say that I enjoyed this. I must say, I was disturbed! John and Kate, a couple who recently suffers from tragic loss of their unborn baby decide to adopt another child. At the local orphanage, both find themselves strangely drawn to a young girl named Esther. But before they totally welcome Esther into their home, series of alarming events happened that lead Kate to believe that there's something wrong with Esther. Even though there are parts of this movie that I don't want to look at or to see again. This is a must-see! My Rating: 8/10, one of the best thriller movie See the trailer below: What is the best

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017) Genre: Action, Adventure, Comedy A great fun! This movie gives me unlimited smiles. I enjoyed all the scenes, the humor, even its plain storyline. Yes, the story was simple but enough to make this movie shine. All the characters are likable and their chemistry is perfect! This is worth watching! Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is a sequel to Jumanji (1995). Four high school students were sent to detention and discovered a vintage game console. After setting up the game and choosing their characters, they were sucked into the game and transformed into the characters they have chosen. To be able to come back home, they need to find the missing piece and finish the game. I recommend this movie. This is funny and all fun! My Rating: 8/10, enjoyable, funny, fun Watch the trailer below: Have you watched this movie? What is your rating? Write it in the comment section below.

A Werewolf Boy (2012) Genre: Fantasy, Sci-fi, Romance (Available on Iflix) Another good content on Iflix. A Werewolf Boy is a 2012 South Korean fantasy romance film. The director Jo Sung-Hee wrote the screenplay when he was still studying film making. The original synopsis was quite different from the final screenplay wherein the woman was the wild one. In order to make the commercial film, the roles were reversed.  This movie is beautiful and full of innocent kindness. Yes, this is another werewolf movie but it is original in its own way. The characters are likable especially Chul-soo the werewolf boy and Sun-yi a teenage girl. I also appreciate that they explained how Chul-soo became a werewolf.  Kim Sun-yi and her family move to a remote valley for her recovery from an illness. She discovers a boy crouching in their yard and her family adopts him even though he acts and behaves like a wild beast. Sun-yi teaches him how to act like human and they become close

A Silent Voice (2016) (Koe No Katachi - Original Title) Genre: Drama, Animation Another great animated movie from Japan. 'A Silent Voice' also translated as 'The Shape of Voice' is a Japanese animated teen drama film which is based on a manga of the same name. The movie is about Shoya Ishida, a school bully and, Shoko Nishimiya, a girl with hearing disability. In their sixth grade when Shoko transfers to Shoya's elementary school and tells everyone that she's deaf, Shoya begins to bully her. The word of the bullying reaches the principal and all including his friends singled out him as the one responsible. Then, the table turns and Shoya finds himself as the victim of the bullying. You may feel sad and uncomfortable with the story and may see how bad the life of a differently-challenged person may be. What I like about this movie are the awareness and lessons it gives to the viewers. The pacing of the story feels too slow for me but it has never faile

Love, Simon (2018) Genre: Comedy, Drama, Romance This is a must-see movie. A movie that was created for a purpose. An eye-opener, to show that like us, everyone needs and wants to be treated and accepted equally. No tag and label. I will describe this as an ordinary love story with the extraordinary struggle. This movie is about Simon and his secret. Don’t want to spoil anything. Watch this movie!  Very different, new and seeing this as an emerging genre.  My Rating: 7/10, ordinary but not ordinary Please subscribe to my blog, and like and follow what2watch on facebook.

The Scam (2009) Genre: Crime, Heist, Drama (Available on Netflix ) An interesting movie. If you are trading and playing in the stock market, you'll enjoy this. The Scam is the first film in South Korea to tackle stock market. The story is about Hyun-soo who try his fortune in the stock market and loses everything in his first attempt. But then, after five years of spending his life on the front of the computer screen as a full-time ant (individual investor), he eventually reaches the top of the game. There are some parts of this movie that are boring but still, you'll hold onto it because of its distinct story. You'll also get some lesson and realization from this movie.

Marrying the Mafia 2 (2005) Genre: Action, Comedy, Romance Looking for something funny? Try this movie! Not the one that will amaze you but probably this movie will make you laugh. Even though the lines and scenes seem to be too cheesy, but still, this movie is good and likable. Personally, I laugh a lot in this movie. The story is about a gang leader who fell in love with a state prosecutor for crimes of violence, specifically gangster related. The plot and story are predictable and maybe you have seen a lot of a gangster love story movie. However, if you just want good vibes then, this is a good pick.

Pickpockets (2017) Genre: Drama, Crime A Netflix Original Watchable but close to being boring. I did not see any that will make this movie different. This is very ordinary. I’ve expected seeing something amazing, exciting, fast and mindblowing. Just like scenes from ’Now You See Me’. Sadly, this movie isn’t like that.  This movie is about young aspiring thieves who learn what it takes to be successful pickpockets from a master in the art of trickery and deception. I did not really enjoy this movie and I don’t recommend this.

Your Name (2016) Kimi no na wa - Original Title Genre: Animation, Drama, Romance, Fantasy Very different and has an exciting story. You'll always want to see the next minute of this movie. Your Name (Kimi no na wa) is a Japanese animated film that tells the story of a high school girl in rural Japan and a high school boy in Tokyo who swaps body.

The Debutantes (2017) Genre: Horror (Available on HOOQ ) Are you planning to watch this movie? Maybe you should pick another one. This is about Kate a strange girl who wants to be friends with the popular girls in school. She was invited to the birthday party of one of the girls where she got pranked and embarrassed. This movie is very predictable and there's nothing special about the plot and story. Just like an ordinary Filipino fail horror movie. Also, the monster here doesn't look believable. There's nothing will make this movie rememberable. Sure! I gonna forget this movie.  My Rating: 1/10, predictable, forgettable Watch the trailer below: Looking for a good horror movie on Hooq ?

Sin Island (2018) Genre: Drama, Mystery, Thriller, and Suspense (Available on IFLIX ) This movie is watchable and not boring. You will like this if you’re in with thriller movies. There was a big shift with the plot and seeing this as a movie with two incoherent parts. However, the movie is still enjoyable. The story is about a perfect married couple David (Xian Lim) and Kanika (Coleen Garcia). David was a successful photographer before his career goes into a downward spiral. Then, his wife Kanika loses interest with him and had an affair with her co-worker. After discovering that his wife is cheating on him, David travels to Sin Island (Sinilaban Island) where he starts his own affair with Tasha (Nathalie Hart).

The Invitation (2015) Genre: Drama, Mystery, Thriller (Available on NETFLIX) Is this movie worth watching? For me, it’s a NO. After spending 100 minutes of watching this mystery movie, at the end I got a mystery. In my opinion, the mysteries in movies must be unveiled for viewers be able to appreciate it. The thrill in the early part was good, became ok in the middle and hit a little high at the end. The story was too short and simple and I didn't like it. My reviews are based on my own opinion.

Amateur (2018) Genre: Sports, Drama  A Netflix Original Do you love basketball or NBA? If yes, this one would be a nice pick for you. Amateur is about the rise and struggles of a talented 14-year-old student basketball player. At the start, the movie is kinda boring. It was slow and low. How the story was told and how they build up the characters. However, in the middle until the end, the story became interesting a little exciting. You need an intuition of a basketball fan to be able to relate and appreciate this movie. Don’t watch this if you don’t like basketball. My Rating: 4/10, for basketball fans only Please subscribe to my blog and like and follow what2watch on facebook. If you have suggestion or question, feel free to comment. Thanks!

The Intern (2015) Genre: Comedy, Drama (Available on NETFLIX) If you are looking for a movie that is relatable, believable and nice. Pick this one. This movie will make your heart smile. The story is about a seventy-year-old man Ben Whittaker (Robert De Niro) who becomes a senior intern in an online fashion site, founded and run by Jules Ostin (Anne Hathaway). It is very enjoyable to see a blend of past and now. Seeing its differences and its own strength and weaknesses. I smile a lot on this movie!

A Quiet Place Genre: Drama, Horror, Mystery and Suspense The time I saw the trailer for A Quiet Place , I became very excited about this. Seeing this to be the best horror movie of 2018. Conversely, this movie failed to meet my expectations. A Quiet Place is a story of a family who forced to live in silence after the invasion of mysterious monsters that hunt by sound which threaten their survival. If these monsters hear you, they will hunt and kill you. The story is very simple, short and plain. As if, it just happened overnight. A forgettable movie. Nonetheless, the characters and the actors are good. The movie also gives a fair thrill and suspense.

Vanishing Time: A Boy Who Returned Genre: Drama, Science Fiction & Fantasy (Available on Iflix) This is a fantasy movie from South Korea. A girl named Su-rin moves to a remote island with her step-father after her mother passes away. She met Sung-min, an orphan boy and they become best friends.  One day, they venture into a cave in the forest with a group of kids and discover a glittering egg, which, according to the local folk tale, holds a monster that can instantly turn a child into an adult. Yes, the movie started strong. How they build the character of Su-rin and her relationship with Sung-min. However, after the first 15 minutes, the movie became confusing. I thought the movie would be a fantasy love story, but it turns into a mystery, crime, and fantasy. Also, the character of Sung-min (played by the lead actor) was weak. He did not stand out and nor deliver support. Also, the connection, spark, and chemistry of Su-rin and Sung-min gone in the last hour of
