The Odyssey (2026 Film)

 "The Odyssey" is a visually striking epic movie that is worth watching for. It's a 2 hours and 52 minutes movie adaptation of Homer's ancient Greek epic poem the Odyssey. The movie stars an ensemble cast including Matt Damon (who played Odysseus), Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Charlize Theron, and Lupita Nyong'o. After watching the movie, I considered it as one of the best film of 2026 so far. Kudos to Matt Damon for a strong performance and director Christopher Nolan for his brilliant directing.

Evil Dead Burn (2026 Film)

If you are a film buff who likes horror films, "Evil Dead Burn" is a must to see. You will not get disappointed to watch the movie because of it's brutal and bloody scenes, excessive violence and gore. Evil Dead Burn is the sixth installment in the Evil Dead series and it is the sequel of Evil Dead Rise (2023). It is directed by Sebastian Vanicek and produced by Rob Tapert and Sam Raimi, the series creator of Evil Dead. The film cast includes Souhella Yacoub, Tandi Wright, Hunter Doohan, Luciano Buchanan, Erroll Shand, and Maude Davey. The story of Evil Dead Burn is about a distress woman (Alice) who seeks comfort with her in-laws at an isolated house following the death of her husband. The get together was turned into a family assembly from hell as her in-laws transpose into a demon-possessed Deadites. 

Actually I enjoyed watching the movie because of it's brutal and bloody scenes. Every scenes are properly executed by the director and all actors convincingly performed their roles. I recommend this movie for you to watch and you need to bring enough courage to see those bloody scenes and violence. In the Philippines, the movie is rated R-18 which means it is intended mainly for adults 18 years old and older due to mature contents such as violence, adult themes, and nudity.

Supergirl (2026 Film)

Supergirl is a good movie, but also a bad movie at the same time. This is the first movie I had watched for the month of July 2026. It is a good movie because of it's lead actress Milly Alcock who portrayed Supergirl gave an excellent performance as a beer drinking, unhappy, and a nomad traveling girl in outer space. Her portrayal as Kara Zor-El successfully captured the immensed emotional and physical response to a distressing life. It is a good movie because of it's visually stunning cosmic location, lots of aliens and strange creatures. On the other side of the fence, it is a bad movie because of its average script and visually dark tone movie. Most of the scenes are shot so darkly that you cannot recognize the characters of the film. I found it disappointing that I had to endure watching this movie in the dark. According to Variety, the movie only grossed around $38 million in its opening weekend in the United States against a reported $170-$186 million production budget.
