FILM REVIEW: Clayface, The R-18 Rated DC Horror Melts Faces, Hearts, and Expectations This is a slimy, stylish body-horror tragedy that proves Gotham’s villains don’t need Batman to steal the show. Directed by James Watkins from a Mike Flanagan and Hossein Amini script, this hard-R DCU entry is a pure tragic monster-movie fuel - identity loss, ambition, scientific hubris, and dripping revenge, and yes, no prior DC knowledge required. #ClayfaceMovie #DCU #TomRhysHarries #Batman #WarnerBros Photo Credits: Warner Bros.

FILM REVIEW: Clayface, The R-18 Rated DC Horror Melts Faces, Hearts, and Expectations This is a classic tragic anti-hero done right. Hagen starts as a guy you root for—the street kid who made it, then gets crushed. As the procedure restores and ruins him, the film stays in the moral gray. You understand every step of the spiral even as it grows monstrous. Think The Fly meets Darkman with comic-book blood. #ClayfaceMovie #DCU #TomRhysHarries #Batman #WarnerBros Photo Credits: Warner Bros.

He nails the golden-boy charm, then lets quiet menace and existential dread take over. You feel every stage of the unraveling. #ClayfaceMovie #DCU #TomRhysHarries #Batman #WarnerBros Photo Credits: Warner Bros.

FILM REVIEW: Clayface, The R-18 Rated DC Horror Melts Faces, Hearts, and Expectations Naomi Ackie matches him as the ambitious scientist whose “miracle” becomes the catalyst; their charged dynamic adds unexpected gothic-romance heat. Supporting players fill out a sleazy Hollywood-and-Gotham world without clutter. #ClayfaceMovie #DCU #TomRhysHarries #Batman #WarnerBros Photo Credits: Warner Bros.

FILM REVIEW: Clayface, The R-18 Rated DC Horror Melts Faces, Hearts, and Expectations Rob Hardy’s work, the film’s cinematographer, is a standout. Gotham feels gritty yet glamorous—sodium-vapor oranges, neon, rain-slick streets, and clinical labs that turn nightmarish. Practical makeup is tactile and squirm-inducing. Inventive sequences play with form and fluidity in fresh ways. The soundtrack delivers sly irony. David Bowie’s “Golden Years,” Chicago’s “If You Leave Me Now” (plus a haunting Jasmine Jethwa cover), weave through the glamour-to-nightmare arc. Volker Bertelmann’s score adds brooding romantic ache beneath the goop. #ClayfaceMovie #DCU #TomRhysHarries #Batman #WarnerBros Photo Credits: Warner Bros.

FILM REVIEW: Clayface, The R-18 Rated DC Horror Melts Faces, Hearts, and Expectations Some supporting characters and the gangster subplot feel underwritten though. A few digital shots look plastic next to the excellent practical work. Middle pacing lags slightly, and hardcore body-horror fans may wish it pushed further into pure Cronenberg territory. As the third live-action DCU entry, it’s a smart, self-contained swing that expands Gotham without forced crossovers. It proves the universe can deliver pure genre fare that works for comic fans and newcomers alike. #ClayfaceMovie #DCU #TomRhysHarries #Batman #WarnerBros Photo Credits: Warner Bros.

FILM REVIEW: Clayface, The R-18 Rated DC Horror Melts Faces, Hearts, and Expectations Verdict: Gory, glamorous, and genuinely affecting. Not the deepest film of the year, but one of the most entertaining and distinctive comic-book movies in recent memory. Watch for the face-melting effects, stay for Harries’ magnetic descent. Rating: 4/5 #ClayfaceMovie #DCU #TomRhysHarries #Batman #WarnerBros Photo Credits: Warner Bros.

TRENDING: When Ate Gwyneth Paltrow Cooked Tortang Talong with Banana Ketchup for Breakfast She starts by building the ketchup from scratch: peeling ginger, chopping onions, mincing garlic, then mashing banana with cane vinegar, brown sugar, and soy sauce before blending it into that signature sweet-tangy sauce. #GwynethPaltrow #FilipinoFood #TortangTalong #BananaKetchup #boyfriendbreakfast Photo Credits: Grab from IG Gwyneth Paltrow

TRENDING: When Ate Gwyneth Paltrow Cooked Tortang Talong with Banana Ketchup for Breakfast Next comes the eggplant, charred directly over the stovetop flame until the skin blackens. After steaming and peeling, she flattens it (meat tenderizer in hand), dips it in beaten egg, and fries it golden. #GwynethPaltrow #FilipinoFood #TortangTalong #BananaKetchup #boyfriendbreakfast Photo Credits: Grab from IG Gwyneth Paltrow

TRENDING: When Ate Gwyneth Paltrow Cooked Tortang Talong with Banana Ketchup for Breakfast The finished plate gets a generous topping of browned turkey crumbles and fresh herbs. Caption: “Tortang Talong with garlicky turkey crumbles and banana ketchup. A Filipino breakfast classic.” No fancy rebranding.

Adobo, you’re next. #GwynethPaltrow #FilipinoFood #TortangTalong #BananaKetchup #boyfriendbreakfast Photo Credits: Grab from IG Gwyneth Paltrow

TRENDING: When Ate Gwyneth Paltrow Cooked Tortang Talong with Banana Ketchup for Breakfast What makes the video so charming is the quiet focus she brings to every step. There is no rushing, no over-explaining—just a celebrity carefully preparing a beloved everyday dish. In the end, the plate looks both familiar and slightly elevated, the kind of breakfast that could sit comfortably on any Filipino table yet still carries a touch of Goop polish. Tortang talong has never looked quite so Hollywood, and banana ketchup has rarely received such dedicated starring treatment. #GwynethPaltrow #FilipinoFood #TortangTalong #BananaKetchup #boyfriendbreakfast Photo Credits: Grab from IG Gwyneth Paltrow

FILM REVIEW: Street Fighter is a pure Hadouken to the senses—loud, ridiculous, campy, and mad fun. Kitao Sakurai’s live-action take on Capcom’s classic doesn’t chase prestige. Set in 1993, it throws estranged fighters Ryu (Andrew Koji) and Ken Masters (Noah Centineo) back into the ring when Chun-Li (Callina Liang) recruits them for the World Warrior Tournament. #StreetFighter #NoahCentineo #AndrewKoji #StreetFighterRyu #StreetFighterKen Photo Credits: Paramount Pictures

FILM REVIEW: Street Fighter is a pure Hadouken to the senses—loud, ridiculous, campy, and mad fun. A conspiracy involving M. Bison forces them to face each other and their demons—or hit GAME OVER. The plot is thin by design, but the Ryu-Ken brotherhood gives it just enough heart. And yes, Koji and Centineo nail the assignment: quiet intensity meets cocky flash. #StreetFighter #NoahCentineo #AndrewKoji #StreetFighterRyu #StreetFighterKen Photo Credits: Paramount Pictures

FILM REVIEW: Street Fighter is a pure Hadouken to the senses—loud, ridiculous, campy, and mad fun. Callina Liang steals scenes as a fierce, perfect Chun-Li. Vidyut Jammwal’s elastic, fire-breathing Dhalsim is a highlight, while Jason Momoa (Blanka), Roman Reigns (Akuma), Cody Rhodes (Guile), 50 Cent (Balrog), and David Dastmalchian (Bison) lean fully into the chaos. #StreetFighter #NoahCentineo #AndrewKoji #StreetFighterRyu #StreetFighterKen Photo Credits: Paramount Pictures

FILM REVIEW: Street Fighter is a pure Hadouken to the senses—loud, ridiculous, campy, and mad fun. What truly sells the spectacle is the kinetic fight choreography. Fights pop with practical martial arts and game-style flair. Gorgeous 2D animated sequences and a killer ’90s soundtrack deliver pure nostalgia and Easter eggs. #StreetFighter #NoahCentineo #AndrewKoji #StreetFighterRyu #StreetFighterKen Photo Credits: Paramount Pictures

FILM REVIEW: Street Fighter is a pure Hadouken to the senses—loud, ridiculous, campy, and mad fun. It’s uneven—pacing wobbles late, some characters feel off, dialogue can clunk—but the self-aware silliness and pure arcade energy win out. The film never pretends to reinvent the genre; instead it joyfully embraces every over-the-top trope, turning potential cheesiness into its biggest strength and leaving audiences grinning through the final round. #StreetFighter #NoahCentineo #AndrewKoji #StreetFighterRyu #StreetFighterKen Photo Credits: Paramount Pictures

FILM REVIEW: Street Fighter is a pure Hadouken to the senses—loud, ridiculous, campy, and mad fun. Verdict: Not for purists seeking deep lore. It’s the kind of energetic, self-aware video-game movie fans have been waiting for: imperfect, overstuffed, and thoroughly entertaining. It’s a kick-ass, over-the-top popcorn blast. Push start. Round one. Fight! Rating: 4/5 #StreetFighter #NoahCentineo #AndrewKoji #StreetFighterRyu #StreetFighterKen Photo Credits: Paramount Pictures
