It actually lived up to the hype. I was having second thoughts whether or not I should watch this movie but since I was with a friend who wanted to see it, I was forced.
Any boy was I thankful.
The movie started with The Joker robbing the …

This for me is just one of the most positive and upbeat songs you can ever find to listen to. So much so that it’s gradual but inspired build up is so recognisable that I have seen it stop dance floors with people singing along with Freddie.
I have to …

Much the same as the majority of the Marvel lovers, I didn’t care for the idea of Ant man when it was declared by Marvel. I thought the idea was very silly and faltering on the grounds and I thought “In what manner becoming littler be heroic?” particularly in correlation …

This PBS documentary was about a volcanic eruption that happened in the early 20th century. Thousands of people were killed in the eruption and the ensuing tsunami that hit Java and Sumatra …

I’m not usually interested in seeing romance movies or even reading romance books since I generally find them boring and unrealistic. However, when I saw the movie “My Faraway Bride” advertise, just the plot of it alone made me interested in watching it. I’m not even sure if the …

Spiderman 3 was much better than I expected. Besides the great sound effects and graphics, the story-line was much better than the expected “hero saves the day”. It shows Peter Parker in a different light, how the “black suit” changes him, and the audience is introduced to a naughty …

The fourth film in the popular Terminator franchise takes place in the future that was only alluded to in the first three films. Christian Bale plays John Connor, the now adult leader of the human resistance fighting to take down Skynet and their army of Terminators.

I watched ‘Vicky, Christina, Barcelona’ last night and could certainly see glimmerings of Woody Allen’s philosophical depth and cynicism in the interactions between the three lead roles - Vicky, Christina and Juan.
The locales in Spain are beautifully shot and I like the narrative style of the film. The threesome …

The film begins when a guy working for the US govt. finds out that the infrastructure network its running …

I suppose The Invisibles was one of the earlier movies that Portia de Rossi star in. Together with a not bad looking actor (I don’t know his name, really), this is a story on what is perhaps happening in the world of celebrities. I find the characters of …

When I started watching Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector, I was doing so expecting to write a review about how lousy the movie was. I figured it would be full of crude humor and I would get bored with it within minutes.
I was right about the crude humor. …

After three successful movies on the big screen, Hollywood brought the girl midget (hence, gidget) surfer to the small screen. It was the big break for Sally Field, who took on the Gidget role. It brought her recognition. It still bugs me that she sneers at …

I am always wary in spending money watching local films. However, my sister dragged me to watch this movie called “Love You to the Stars and Back” (I know such an awfully long title that doesn’t match the movie at all - Philippine local films have plenty of that) yesterday …

The Paranormal Activity movie was amazing. I took my girlfriend to see it and we were both freaked out. There were people in the theatre crying and throwing up.

I admit this is a very good-looking film and I suppose a lot of hard work was put into …

Its a classic. Its amazing. I cant think of anything better than watching Patrick Swayze wiggle his hips and balance on a log.
I have seen this film thousands of times, I know the script off by heart and I know the soundtrack inside out.
This movie is the best chick …

I watched Talladega nights on opening night and every show we tried to find was sold out but we finally managed to find tickets to a show that eventually sold out as well. Talladega nights is probably the funniest movie of the year. Will Ferrel is close to the …

George Clooney’s The American movie had some good and bad points to it in my opinion. I will admit off the top to not being a big thriller fan, but Clooney is such a good actor that sometimes I will tune into things that I would not normally. …

I watched the DVD of Two Weeks Notice starring Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant the other day and there could not have been a better duo for their roles than them. It’s basically a movie story about serving your troublesome boss and after some time feeling that you have …

F/X, 1986, starring, Bryan Brown, Brian Dennehy. Very suspensful movie here. From way back in 1986, this thriller is still great to watch. Special effects master, played by Bryan Brown (also starred in cocktail), is hired by the feds to help fake the assassination of a mob godfather. …

Released in 1980, and directed by David Lynch, this movie can undoubtedly be defined as one of the saddest movies of all time. I’ve only seen it twice, and I don’t really plan to see it more, at least not for some time. I’m easily caught up in good …

What are they thinking?! It’s already worse that some of the comic books were made to a movie. But Dragonball? The best cartoon when I was 13. I can’t accept the fact that they made this cartoon a movie. I’ve already seen the preview of the movie. They can’t …

“The Famous History of King Henry VIII” is a BBC production for television. It is filmed in color and runs for 166 minutes. It is produced as a television movie and not as a video taping of a live theatrical performance. “The Famous History of King Henry VIII” is …

P.S. I Love You (2007) is pure bliss. I love watching this DVD each time pretty much. I love looking at the way Hillary Swank acts and she always has this rapport with the camera.
I think the camera really loves her, truly. Holly Kennedy is …

Why oh why oh why must Hollywood feel the need to make games into movies? Are they so desperate that they can’t find a decent writer, or novel to base a good movie on, or maybe they lack thinking outside the box. Was the game that great that it …

“The Little Drummer Girl” as a film is perhaps to some not has compact in its storytelling as the best selling novel written by author John Le Carre. The adaptation of the novel to film does not reach the depth as to the audience member’s emotional response as …
