» It's been nearly two decades since the Star Wars and sci-fi movie fans were introduced to the franchise's prequel trilogy that ended with its third film Revenge Of The Sith in 2005. Fans knew that Anakin Skywalker lost to Obi-Wan Kenobi in the duel battle and left badly wounded. Yet he survived and went on to become Darth Vader, a disciple of the dark side in the original Star Wars trilogy (1977–83). This didn't stop many die-hard fans from frequent discussions and theorising about what happened in between the events of Episode III and Episode IV.

» The first thing that comes to mind when talking about Michael Bay movies are the explosions, gunfire and scenes of cars flipping or helicopters falling from the sky in slow-motion. The man is like a filmmaker on steroids when it comes to big production. No matter how big or small the story is, Bay always finds a way to add explosions and make a big deal out of it. After his success in franchises like Bad Boys and Transformers, Bay has gone on to create the likes of Pain & Gain (2013) and 6 Underground (2019). His latest project, Ambulance, marks Bay's first directorial effort release since the pandemic began in 2020. Ambulance comes to local cinemas today, three weeks before North America where it is scheduled to release on April 8.

» It's not always easy to make a decent zombie movie, especially if your goal is to satisfy a new generation of horror fans as well as those who prefer the old rules of the genre. Nowadays, zombie movies come in all different shapes, styles, and levels of blood and gore. They are constantly evolving and have grown out of George Romero's cult classic Night Of The Living Dead.

Another miss by Netf lix

» I'm not afraid of a long story and in fact enjoy long movies if the film is engaging or when there is a payoff. A lengthy movie means there's more room for the filmmaker to add more complexity and character development. I will gladly sit there for three or four hours and love every second of it. But sadly, that's not the case with Netflix's original action/heist thriller The Last Days Of American Crime. During its two hours and 30 minutes, I found myself struggling to finish the film the entire time.
