Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs

2009-08-03T01:52:00.002+08:00

Ice Age 3 is fun and funny. the third movie is full of laughs,laughs and laughs as well as some great scenes.It's better than the disappointing Ice Age 2 and as funny as the first Ice Age.The movie has a lot of funny scenes my favorite being the scene with the laughing gas. Animation was nice as well as the sound and music.The cast really brought their A-game to one of this years funniest animated movie.I give it an 8 out of 10.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

2009-08-03T01:34:00.003+08:00

The sixth instalment in the top grossing movie and book franchise showcases a darker, more emotional and character driven film. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is full of great art works and effects as well as a cliffhanging story that one would really follow.
The movie has great art direction as well as great cinematography and probably one of the best since Prisoner of Azkaban. It has a great cast ensemble from the original cast returning and to some new faces but familiar characters. Jim Broadbent’s take on Prof. Slughorn is great as he shows us the character’s vanity and regrets. Michael Gambon does a great performance as the head wizard and is one of his great performances in the franchise. And I would also like to praise Helena Bonham-Carter for bringing Bellatrix Lestrange to life fully in this movie as she once did in Order of the Phoenix and for Alan Rickman as Snape. And of course Radcliffe, Watson, Grint, Hunt and Felton close the deal with great performances as well.
This instalment is really different from the rest. Director David Yates really did a different approach in directing this adaptation. He changed the feel of the movie by making everything darker. The halls of Hogwarts are dark and edgy as well as most of the chosen art are Gothic. And he dealt more on the characters rather than only Harry Potter.
Yates and his team focused on the emotional aspect of the story. Really showing us the emotion each of the character is feeling or the battles and fears each are going through. Like Slughorn’s regret of sharing information to a Tom Riddle, Malfoy’s battle in choosing what to do inthe situation that has befallen him or Ron’s love life as well as Hermoigne emotion towards him and of course Harry’s emotion towards Ginny couple that with the mystery of what the Dark Lord is up to.
One of the downside of the film is that it didn’t quite explain the Half-Blood Prince. But the story of the sixth book was mainly about Voldemort’s past and the teen angst of the lead characters as well as Dumbledore’s secret missions. The Half-blood Prince was only a big part in Harry’s excellence in the class of Slughorn.
Though I really would have loved to see the funeral but Yates did a great substitute with the dramatic death and the tribute by the teachers and students by raising their wands.
Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince maybe disappointing to some but for me it’s one of the franchises greatest work. We can see that the franchise has not lost its touch and is still growing. Emotions are beginning to grow and the story is getting darker and the fate of the three friends is beginning to unfold. I can’t wait to see the last two instalments. I give it an 8 out of 10.

The Hangover

2009-07-20T00:37:00.002+08:00

The Hangover. Definitely one of the funniest films I’ve seen this year. Here’s a comedy which will leave laughing when you go out of the theatre. It’s a funny movie. The dialogues are funny and even the movie’s pace is funny. The cast is perfect. Bradley Cooper does a nice performance but Zach Galifianakis steals the show with just being there. Add some funny one liner and some half naked scenes. One scene I loved and will remember will be the “Rain Man” scene as Cooper and Galifianakis come down the escalator. The movie is filled with memorable funny scenes. You’d just have to choose. The movie’s setup is basic. Four friends go out of town and into Vegas. But the characters are played well that really makes The Hangover work. It’s full of surprises as well and mysteries as you try to solve the questions, “What happened last night?” and “Where’s Doug?” As the saying goes, “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.” But for this movie, “What happens in Vegas is our entertainment.” If you loved the trailer, you’ll love this movie. I give it 8.5 out of 10.

2009-07-19T23:54:00.002+08:00

Blood: The Last Vampire isn't a great movie but it's entertaining at some point. It really stayed true to its anime roots. The movie had a true anime feel. The plot is intact and it makes sense though it is sometimes lost in the action sequences. Either way, the film showcases a unique blend. A Korean lead, a Japanese villain, a French director, a couple of American cast, shot in Hong Kong but is set in Japan. Quite a mix. The movie is held together nicely. Gianna (My Sassy Girl) does a great performance showing sympathy and strength as being the only Japanese girl in an American base. The effects may not be that great but it delivers. Blood showcases what we've come to expect in anime/Japanese movies...over the top action sequences, fight choreography, and a very nice background and cinematography. I give it 5 out of 10.

The Last Airbender

2009-07-12T22:45:00.003+08:00

Check out the trailer for The Avatar,the Last Airbender.Shyamalan does it justice from this trailer.

Transformers Revenge of the Fallen

2009-07-10T03:53:00.001+08:00

Bang! Bang! Boo! Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen can be summed up by those words. And the Boo is not a typo. I was really disappointed by the movie. Yes, it brought all the action, explosions and special effects that it was expected to bring. But in all the preparation and planning, they forgot the most important ingredient for a movie, the story. Director Michael Bay brought his A-game for this film but writers Kruger, Kurtzman, and Orci brought the ZZZZZ. I don’t know what happened.Orci and Kurtzman are great writers with Star Trek, the first Transformers and MI: 3 at their belt. But for this movie, they somehow lost their magic touch. The film had a plot similar to cartoon series. It was simple and lack twists and imagination. It was just explosion, running in slow-mo, explosion, short dialogue, explosion, slow-mo, laughter, explosion and a lot of noise.The movie had a lot of errors and plot holes. An example would be the huge Decepticon Devastator which is made up of 5 robots. Three of them being a huge dump truck, a bulldozer and a cement mixer. While Devastator transforms in one scene, three of his parts are in another scene fighting the Autobots and the Nest team. Story detail was not given much attention in this movie. I think they started with the drawing sequences and fight scenes then just tried to fit a plot in all that fuss. Another thing that got me wondering is that there were two parts of the Allspark that remained after it was destroyed. One was used to revive Megatron. Why did Sam have to go through all the trouble of locating the Matrix of Leadership to revive Optimus Prime when he could have easily brought him back with the piece he had. If it made a huge plane like Jetfire come back to life, it would have easily brought back a 10 ton truck. Errors in geography and facts, the list goes on.The movie is just a two and a half hour of metal on metal bumps and a lot of noise. A lot of robots with short dialogues. The human characters were not given the opportunity to show what they could really do. They only served as backups to the bots. At first I was excited to see the fight scenes but ended up feeling sleepy. There was nothing new to see. The movie did have a lot of laughs and funny scenes but nothing was memorable.Michael bay and company really know how to make a summer blockbuster. A movie of action, noise, effects, noise, nonsense characters, and more noise. But forget to put a very good story or side story. I guess that’s how you make the big bucks. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen would probably go down as the most successful worst film. That’s just my opinion.When word came out that T2 was in production, I was really excited. Waiting to catch a glimpse at the first trailer and seeing the new characters. And then I saw the film. I can say that it really, really, really, really disappointed me. It didn’t live up to the hype it created and to its predecessor. It’s a short story told at a long time span with a lot of explosions and loud noise. I give it 3 out of 10.

The Taking of Pelham 123

2009-06-28T00:07:00.003+08:00

I'm a fan of Tony Scott's work.And his latest offering delivers.The movie is full of action that takes place in a span of one hour inside a cab of a subway train and in the subway controlling center.Denzel Washington and John Travolta go head to head(or should I say voice to voice) in this hostage and crime drama.Scott did a great job in re imagining the film given that it is a remake of the 1974 movie of the same title.He brought the original beat and aspects of the original film and added his own blend of style and creativity creating a pulsating, and tense hostage drama.The movie has a great ensemble aside from Washington and Travolta.Joh Turturro,James Gandolfini and Luis Guzman brings some added and creative life to this already thrilling film.Scott did a great job with balancing the lighting with the scene as well as camera movement and placement.I really thought this wouldn't be that good given that it's a remake.But I was wrong.The movie stays true to the story and delivers full force with great speed.I give it 7 out of 10.

Drag Me to Hell

2009-06-27T23:51:00.003+08:00

Raimi has done it again.Drag Me to Hell is a funny,scary and really,really suspenseful film.Sam Raimi has returned to what he was first known for and he delivered.After hits like the Spider-man franchise,Raimi just wanted to sit back and return to his hobby,comedic-horror flicks.He was first known for his evil dead franchise and he brought back the same aspect of that franchise to this film.The movie has everything.Scary sounds,startling voices and noise,Shock scenes and some nasty goo as well as some funny and unforgettable scenes.Even if the story is like something from a "Tales from Crypt" episode,you would really want to follow what happens to Christine Brown as she faces the curse that would drag her to hell.Drag Me to Hell is anything but a dragging film.It's perfect for couples and it's PG-13 so some younger family members can watch it with the family.The film is one of the best that Raimi has to offer.I really loved the "Vomit scene."Nasty.I highly recommend this film.I'm sure a lot of people will laugh,shout and close there eyes when watching this film.I give it 8.5 out of 10.

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian

2009-06-24T11:14:00.002+08:00

The second installment for the "Museum" has a lot of laughs.But the movie has too much characters in it.It's bigger in scale but still lacks a lot.I liked the first movie but the sequel didn't quite do well compared to its predecessor. The plot isn't that great. There are some over the top acting and non sense dialogue. The part I liked in this movie would be the singing cherubs.Still a family film in which kids will have a good time.I give it 4.5 out 10.

Alice in Wonderland character Images

2009-06-23T10:49:00.004+08:00

2009-06-03T16:00:00.005+08:00

Gamer is set in a futuristic world where online gaming has evolved.Where a player can control real live humans doing battles in a real world environment.The movie smells a bit like Death Race only with guns and not cars

A Very Twilight Sequel

2009-06-03T15:28:00.003+08:00

For all you Twilight fanatics,the teaser trailer for its sequel debuted at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards.It may be short but I know for you its worth it.

Hurt Locker No. 1

2009-06-03T15:19:00.003+08:00

The film has not yet been released internationally but i had the privilege of seeing it.It's a great film and maybe the first film to show a real event that has happened and is happening in Iraq. Check out the trailer above.

Angels and Demons

2009-06-03T14:53:00.002+08:00

The film is a much better representation than its predecessor.Angels and Demons portrayed a true suspenseful film with history as its backbone.Director Ron Howard brought a good balance between the book and Hollywood magic.What I like about the film is its 24 style time line.It all happens in a day.The movie is full of surprises(For those who haven't read the book) action and effects.The only downside in the effects department is you can clearly or somewhat see the Sistine Chapel location is clearly computer generated.Tom Hanks still does a good job as Robert Langdon minus the Mohawk hair style.The film is harmless in relation to the Vatican's ban on the film.it can be clearly seen as a man-made story.Howard does a great job in showing the "Vatican" or should I say a studio lot in the US, seem realistic.Another thing i liked about the movie is its score.The score definitely brought another level of life and in some instances fear and suspense to the movie.For fans of the book,don't expect too much since this is an adaptation therefore there may be some changes.For newbies,sit down, and enjoy the mystery of Angels and Demons.I give it a 7.5 out of 10.

Terminator:Salvation

2009-06-03T14:26:00.003+08:00

The fourth film in the franchise may as well be the last in the rank in terms of story.Terminator:Salvation has somewhat lost its story-telling ability unlike its predecessors.The movie is like a big budget video game.Yes,its full of action and explosions as expected from a terminator flick but lacks the emotional drama that runs the story of the genre.Bale's John Connor appears more machine than Sam Worthington's Marcus Wright who,in the movie is a machine.Only Moon Bloodgood's character puts human emotion into this robotic film.The movie's plot is just simple.I think they first considered the action sequences than the story.For all you Terminator fans, the story of the war against machines and Skynet's fight to kill John Connor,isn't portrayed well in Salvation.It leaves more questions without the answers.Not even the cameo of the original terminator can help save the storyline.As Arnold once said,"I'll be Back."Please... be back with a story and just a demolition derby movie.I give it a 5 out of 10.

Star Trek

2009-05-11T22:00:00.004+08:00

"Space,the final frontier."These are words that are remembered by past generations and will be remembered by future generations to come.Star Trek is definitely a great prequel movie.Director J.J. Abrams has really outdone himself by giving us a great ensemble of talents,great direction,great effects and a great story.Star Trek fans and newbies will love this movie.It has a great blend of excitement,adventure,drama,action and comedy.One of my praise for the film is definitely the cast.They fit perfectly to there original counterparts.I loved seeing Leonard Nemoy as Spock.But what I love most about the movie,being a Trek Fan, is seeing the USS Enterprise take flight on her maiden voyage.Definitely one of the best films of the year.I recommend you see Star Trek.A good thrill-ride for the senses.I give it a 9 out of 10.

X-men Origins:Wolverine

2009-04-26T12:11:00.005+08:00

I recently had the opportunity to watch a special screening of Wolverine and all I can say is "It did good."The film did great in telling the origins of one of the Marvel Universe's fatal,flawed and sometimes misunderstood anti-hero but seemed like it was done in a hurry.It is filled with a lot of sub plots that you sometimes get lost in the story.As expected,it is full of action and surprises but the fight scenes weren't what i expected.Filled with special effects and a great ensemble of talented actors.The movie didn't quite exceeded all expectations.A well crafted script and a great direction but there was some conflict between the director and the company that released the film.If you're one of the people who saw the pirated and still unfinished version,you are missing a lot.And you still haven't experience the effects put in the film.A fair movie but it still didn't beat X2 which is the best of the the series.A movie full of adamantium rage and full entertainment experience for some people.

Monsters Vs. Aliens

2009-04-19T11:07:00.002+08:00

MvA is definitely for the kids.It showcases great animation with a touch of kiddy humor.The movie is about a group of monsters like the 50 ft woman,the missing link and the blob who must fight an invading alien.For me,the film didn't quite reach my expectations.Sure it was fun but the humor wasn't that lasting.It's full of slapstick comedy of movie monsters but at times the comedy was forgetable.And it felt like the movie was short.You never get the feeling that the movie has gone on for an hour.Yet,it is still a recommended movie.You'll enjoy B.O.B. and Insectosaurus.I give it a 6.5 out of 10.

Transformers roll out!!!

Extra tid-bit:On the weekend of the trailer's release,the movies popularity went up 1840% at imdb.com

Knowing

2009-04-08T02:55:00.002+08:00

I just finished watching Knowing moments ago.The movie stars Nicolas Cage and Rose Byrne.The movie is about a 50 year old "Note" filled with numbers which turned out to be dates and coordinates of all major disasters that has happened in the past five decades as well as events that hasn't happened yet.That's where the movie revolves in.Trying to figure out if the numbers were true and where it will happen.Frankly,the title fits the movie.You already know what happens next.The story is full of cliches.Some of the effects aren't that good.Still one could like the movie but it doesn't have that suspense that you'd expect from this type of movie.From the movie's trailer you could easily figure out that aliens are somewhat involved.I can't believe that the guy that brought us I,Robot and the Crow could make this C movie.I give it a 4 out of 10.

A new Dawn Replaces the Ice

2009-04-04T01:00:00.003+08:00

Check out the trailer for the third installment to the Ice Age franchise,Ice Age-Dawn of the Dinosaurs.

Valkyrie

2009-04-04T00:44:00.002+08:00

I just saw the film.It's about one of the attempted assassination of Hitler.Bryan Singer did a remarkable job.The film is compelling,full of drama and suspence that will have you holding on to your seats in waiting to see what happens next.The movie takes its suspenseful effect once Stauffenberg(Tom Cruise) starts the first moves of the operation.A well crafted script and well suited directorial eyes.

Anyone?

2009-04-03T00:19:00.003+08:00

Considered as one of the best of 2 time Academy Award Winner Sir Michael Caine."Is Anybody there?" tells the story about a ten year old boy living in an old people's home run by his parents.While his parents are busy going through everyday challenges and crisis,he roams around the house tape recording the residents and wonders what happens to them when they die.The boy has a lonely existance until a new tenant comes in.An old magician full of spite and has a mysterious past.The film tells the story of this very odd couple.Facing life's challenges,one learning to live and seize the moment while the other tries to face his complicated past.

Watchmen

2009-04-02T01:14:00.004+08:00

I just recently saw Zack Snyder's adaptation of Watchmen.It is based on the graphic novel of the same name by Alan Moore(V For Vendetta and League of Extra Ordinary Gentlemen).I have to say Snyder did a great job of bringing it to life.For more than 20 years of waiting and attempting to make the movie,I can say the wait was worth it.The film follows the Dark Knight in liberating the comic book movies.It's a super hero-Anti hero film.The film showcases a perfect blend of sound,effects,action,plot and a breath-taking visuals that really brings the feel of the original graphic novel.Though Snyder didn't stick to the original story in the novel,he still brings closer feel to that story.The film brings not only effects but well talented actors.Especially Jackie Earle Haley who played Rorschach.He brought him to life.A little downside is his grunted voice whom we may compare to Christian Bale's Batman.I also loved the music.Music for that time,1985,especially "The Sound of Silence".It really matched the scene.But I didn't quite like the use of "Ride of the Valkyries" in the sequence of the Vietnam War.The movie is full of dark stories of heroes and their trials .Like Batman and Spiderman who always ask the question if what their doing hurts the ones they love or do the world really need them.The novel asks the question "Who watches the Watchmen?"The film shows us what that question meant.Who watches those we depend our lives to and are they really the right ones.Alan Moore didn't approve of making this into film saying that it will not present the right mood and purpose of the novel.Well,I can say that he should watch the Watchmen.It faithfully delivers and will be loved ny the novel fans as well as bring much curiousity to the new generation.I give it an 9 out of 10.

News on the Dark Knight Follow-up

2009-04-02T01:01:00.002+08:00

There has been latest news about the follow-up to the Dark Knight.According to the execs,the third installment will be called Battle for Gotham.It will show the rise and fall of Gotham City,so expect a lot of action and probably an R rating.In talks to play one of the villains in the film is Johnny Depp who is rumored to play the riddle.Probably the biggest news is that Academy Award winning director James Cameron(Titanic0 will have a part in the film.He and his team will providing the CG of Heath Ledger's the Joker.There will be a small part for the joker in the third movie.Cameron was brought up because his team has reportedly perfected human CG as it was used in his upcoming film Avatar.News,news and more news and details will be coming in the next days.For me,they should probably change the title.Or maybe they will.

Underworld:Rise of the Lycans

2009-03-17T19:27:00.000+08:00

If you've seen Underworld and Underworld Evolution,this movie is all about why there is a blood war against the vampires and the lycans(werewolves). It tells the story of Lucian,a Lycan and Sonja,a vampire and there forbidden love.The movie does well in telling the story of the start of the war.It's like Tristan and Isolde and Romeo and Juliet only it involves the immortal damned.Fans of the franchise would definitely get there money's worth.It has the action and effects just like its predecessor.While it does great on these aspects,viewers might find the cinematography a little too dark.Even though it is almost filmed entirely at night,some of the lighting didn't quite had that ideal effect.And the movie toned down the gore of the fights,which was quite disappointing considering the fights in Underworld :Evolution.Well,even so,I still enjoyed the movie.Even though I didn't get to see little Selene,Kate Beckinsale's Selene came out at the end to finish (or start) the story.

Push

2009-03-16T01:27:00.001+08:00

Push feels like a continuation of the movie Jumper.The categories are somewhat the same,jumper,reader,pusher.The movie shows a lot of good special effects but it lacks a solid original story.It's like watching heroes only with bigger stars.A lot of things and events are left unexplained and not at all times does the cinematography worked for the movie.Push delivers all the action and effects but fails at delivering a good story.It didn't breakout of the shadows of its predecessors like the X-men or other comic book movies.

Twilight

2009-03-16T01:11:00.000+08:00

This movie really is for fans of the book series and teenagers.The movie does a well enough job in the adaptation of the book but still produces a certain "Zzzzzzz" factor to other moviegoers.Still the movie still presents good locations and lighting as well as music.Teens will surely be mesmirized at the sight of Edward,envy Bella for having caught the eyes of Edward and they will fall in love with the story about a girl falling in love with a vampire boy. With a lot of catchy and cheesy lines,Twilight and its coming sequels will probably become,if it hasn't already,the new "Teen Awaited" flicks in the years ahead.

Taken

2009-03-16T00:57:00.000+08:00

This movie is not your typical father daughter rescue flick.This B-movie brings in all the needed ingredients that you might expect from a Luc Besson show.It's full of action and suspense as well as a little bit of humor.Although there were times that it became a little bit far fetched but thats what movie goers expect.They go for the one man army who can take a hundred threats head on.Taken is worth the money.Just imagine Harrison Ford's character in Firewall only he has the skills of Jason Bourne.

Slumdog Millionaire

2009-03-15T02:03:00.000+08:00

It's simple.It's a great film.Slumdog Millionaire delivers.It's one of director Danny Boyle's best film.It's heart breaking and exciting at the same time.You will never leave your seat once you start watching the film.Slumdog has great visuals,loved the cinematography as well as its musical score.Dev Patel showed promising work as well as the rest of the cast.Boyle really mixed all the elements with great acting of the cast to show a movie winner.I really recommend you watch this Slumdog winner.
