Speeding past the origin story, ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ begins in medias res, four years after the team has gained their superpowers. They are now celebrated as global icons for all the good they’ve done. The film is set in Earth-828, a different universe from that of the MCU with The Avengers, and here they are the only heroes of this world. They are public figures and through a quick documentary feature very similar to the ones shown on the trailers, we get to know Marvel’s first family.
Director Matt Shakman and screenwriters Josh Friedman, Eric Pearson, Jeff Kaplan, and Ian Springer (from a story by Pearson, Kaplan, Springer, and Kat Wood) spend the first twenty minutes introducing us to the heroes and this brand-new world. It seems through the genius of Reed Richards, a.k.a. Mr. Fantastic, the world appears to be thriving. There’s a sleek, retro 1960s aesthetic to the technology and there’s a throwback in fashion and social norms. The film never mentions the year but it’s as if the ’60s found itself with superheroes with flying cars, and robots.
The first twenty minutes or so are crucial, as they show the tight-knit family dynamic in action. Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal) and his wife, Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby) discover that she’s pregnant and the news brings out big emotions. Sue’s brother, Johnny (Joseph Quinn), and Reed’s best friend, Ben Grimm (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), are excited to be uncles. Reed, on the other hand, is panicking. The cosmic storm they passed through when the four of them went on a mission to space four years ago altered their DNA and gave them powers. What effect might it have on their unborn child?
As Reed prepares for the worst, the rest of the world celebrates until the Silver Surfer (Julia Garner) arrives and declares that the planet was chosen to be devoured by Galactus (Ralph Ineson). The world waits in bated breath and looks to the Fantastic Four to save them. But Galactus is a powerful being that predates time. Can they really stop him?
Everything about ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ feels epic in both scope and scale. From Jess Hall’s incredible cinematography (I think the whole film is on IMAX, which means the best way to see it is on IMAX if you can afford it) and Michael Giacchino’s vibrant musical score, the movie feels big and important. It’s a hard-science fiction film that bends the genres, seamlessly switching from a family drama to an action-packed superhero movie to a commentary on how people can quickly turn on their heroes.
In this world, The Fantastic Four are the only hope the world has and they have a pretty direct line to them. The world is a huge part of this equation and by playing this off, The Fantastic Four somehow becomes symbolic of any person who comes forward to make positive changes; and they carry the burden of the world on their shoulders. If they succeed, they are loved. If they fail, they are persecuted and blamed.
The pacing of the film is relentless. Something is always happening, a choice needs to be made, a discovery is just around the corner, and a world slowly awaiting its demise. The film never lets up, and it’s a shame because this world is so rich and the characters so fully realised – both in the writing and in the performances – that I would have wanted another thirty minutes, even an hour of this movie to play out some of the narrative beats. At 114 minutes, it’s compact, but it speeds through certain moments that could have used a bit more drawing out.
But it has everything. It goes to space. As seen in the trailer, Galactus makes it to Earth, and buildings are destroyed, and The Fantastic Four work together and team up to do their best to win. The finale is breathtaking and it always leaves you at the edge of your seat. It has some stunning sci-fi imagery both in space and in the final battle that can really move you. Each character gets a moment to really shine, and every actor is bringing their A-game and it just makes the movie so an absolute thrill to watch.
This was such a fun movie to get into so much so that I wanted more of it. I wasn’t satisfied with just 114-minute runtime. I wanted more. I can’t wait for more. And with the post-credit scene (there are two at the end of the film) that they give us, it had the whole cinema screaming.
My Rating:

Zach Cregger’s Weapons is the Horror-Thriller That Will Shake You to the Core
After turning heads and twisting minds with his breakout horror hit Barbarian, filmmaker Zach Cregger is upping the ante with Weapons — a bold, terrifying new chapter in modern horror. Cregger isn’t just chasing scares this time — he’s creating a cinematic experience that’s darker, deeper, and far more disturbing.
“I wanted to make something that felt a lot more ambitious,” says Cregger in a new featurette about his latest horror/thriller, “Weapons.”
Watch the Full Featurette Here:
Something Sinister Is Happening in Maybrook…
Weapons begins with an unsettling event: all but one child from the same class disappear without a trace — at the exact same time. As panic spreads through the town of Maybrook, secrets unravel and reality itself begins to warp.
Far from your typical horror director, Cregger took on multiple creative hats — writing, directing, producing, and even co-composing the film’s haunting score. His vision for Weapons goes beyond frights; it’s a psychological labyrinth with chilling revelations at every turn.
Countdown to Terror: August 6
Ready for a twisted thrill ride? Weapons slashes its way into Philippine cinemas on August 6. Don’t miss what critics are already calling “Cregger’s most daring work yet.” Distributed locally by Warner Bros. Philippines.

Looking for “The One”? So Is Lucy — And She’s Caught in a Love Triangle Worth Watching
Love, money, and a few complicated feelings—Materialists is here to steal hearts and stir up emotions. Hitting Philippine cinemas this August 6, this new romance from Past Lives director Celine Song is set to make you feel all the feels. And yes, it includes Pedro Pascal as a charming, fabulously wealthy bachelor.
The Plot: Matchmaker Meets Her Match(es)
Lucy (played by Dakota Johnson) is a successful matchmaker, turning lonely hearts into lovebirds and leaving a trail of happily-ever-afters in her wake. But when it comes to her own love life? Things aren’t so picture-perfect.
Enter Harry (Pedro Pascal), the ideal man—he’s handsome, successful, kind, and, well, incredibly rich. He seems to be everything Lucy’s ever wanted. But her romantic roadmap gets rerouted when she bumps into her ex, John (Chris Evans), a guy with a complicated past and an empty wallet—but one who once held her heart.
Watch the Official Clip
Why Materialists Belongs on Your Must-Watch List
1. Pedro Pascal Plays a Billionaire with a Heart
Yes, The Mandalorian himself is trading armor for Armani. Pascal brings Harry to life with vulnerability, warmth, and just enough swagger. Director Celine Song knew he was perfect for the role after a soul-baring chat. “Pedro I’ve known and loved for a while, but one day we were having a conversation that went very deep about the holiness of love — and the insane difficulty of love, love as a challenge — and I just realized then and there that I was talking to Harry.”
2. Rom-Com Royalty Inspiration
Pascal drew on some big-screen charmers to shape Harry’s persona, “I thought a lot about Harrison Ford in Working Girl, the George Clooney of the last 30 years, even as far back as Carey Grant,” Pascall recalls.
3. Celine Song Is Back, and She’s Mixing It Up
After stunning audiences with Past Lives, Song returns with a story that tackles modern romance with her signature emotional depth. “It was really important for Harry to not be a villain, or for him to not be a joke,” she says. “So I needed somebody who is completely lovable. Because with somebody who is Mr. Perfect, the truth is that we’re going to hate that guy. But the fact that Pedro is playing this character so vulnerably, we can’t help but be charmed by and love. He’s like an open wound.”
4. It’s More Than Just a Love Triangle
At its core, Materialists explores what we really value in a relationship—security or soulmates? It’s witty, heartfelt, and deeply relatable. Whether you’re a hopeless romantic or a cautious realist, there’s something in Lucy’s story that’ll hit home.
Ready to Fall in Love?
Grab your popcorn and bring your feels—Materialists premieres in Philippine cinemas this August 6, distributed locally by Columbia Pictures PH. Whether you’re rooting for Team Harry or Team John, this rom-com is sure to sweep you off your feet.

Let’s just say that Arts Education is something I’ve always wanted to pursue and push for. I’m excited to offer a playground where we can cultivate new work and talent, ” Jose shares.
The Final Curtain – For Now.

Something wicked this way slashes—I Know What You Did Last Summer is back with a vengeance, and this time, the original scream king and queen are returning to the blood-soaked scene.
Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. reunite on screen as Julie James and Ray Bronson, the Southport Massacre survivors, in a brand-new spine-chilling continuation of the 1997 cult classic.
Slated for release in Philippine cinemas on July 30, this latest installment promises more thrills, more secrets, and a new generation of unsuspecting victims.
A New Legacy of Terror
Directed and written by Do Revenge visionary Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, the film bridges old-school horror with a modern twist. For Robinson, it was essential to honor the legacy while exploring the emotional aftermath nearly three decades later.
“Working with Freddie and Jen was amazing,” says Robinson. “It was important to me to make sure that both of their stories felt like a continuation. We wanted to know, how would something like this affect them 27 years later? Who would they become, and how will that inform how they advise and help this younger group?”
Watch the Trailer Here
Julie & Ray: Older, Wiser, Still Haunted
Jennifer Love Hewitt reprises her role as Julie James, now a psychology professor. When a string of killings echoes her traumatic past, the new generation seeks her help.
“Julie is all the things that she was but more grown up and wiser. She retains all the gumption and moxie she learned over those earlier stories, and now brings all that with her.”
Freddie Prinze Jr., whose character Ray Bronson now owns a bar, also steps back into the fray, drawn into the mystery once again alongside his former flame.
“Jenn wasn’t going to throw away the past,” he explains. “She treats it with the respect it deserves, while also demonstrating what makes her such an innovative writer and director. In Jenn’s 2022 film Do Revenge, you could see the sort of sexiness that she would bring to I Know What You Did Last Summer. As a horror fan, I think horror movies are, in a unique way, rather beautiful.”
A Killer Nostalgia Trip, Just in Time
The film’s plot centers on five friends who, after covering up a deadly accident, find themselves stalked by a mysterious killer with ties to the original 1997 murders. As the body count rises, they uncover links to Julie and Ray’s terrifying past.
With nods to fan-favorite moments, chilling suspense, and Robinson’s stylish storytelling, this isn’t just a sequel—it’s a full-circle horror event.
“She loves Julie and Ray, the story, and even the Fisherman. So, all that love has gone into this new version, and you can see it and you can feel it. I really respect Jenn and honor her for that,” Love Hewitt continues, “because horror movie fans are very specific, and they will feel her love of the franchise in this movie.”
