A Movie Review: Crash

2009-08-02T07:26:00.000-07:00

“Moving at the speed of light, we are bound to collide with each other.”

“You think you know who you are. You have no idea.”

“In any real city, you walk, you brush past people, and people bump into you. In L.A, nobody touches you. We’re always behind this metal and glass. I think we miss that touch so much, that we crash into each other just so we can feel something.”

Starring: Sandra Bullock, Ryan Phillippe, Matt Dillon, Brendan Fraser

Los Angeles…Two cars crash…A body is found on the side of the road…

Prince Paolo: Who’s connected to the brutal murder? Cut to 24 hours earlier as we weave into the lives of 8 people as they connect with each other in a hot bed of racial tensions, a journey that eventually collides head on with the cop who’s investigating the murder.

I think what’s good with this film is that many people can relate with the lives that the characters lead. Its plot ain't just like any ordinary plot that we saw in other films. It is hard to create the exact connections with each character so bravo to Paul Haggis. Some stories focuses about conflicts, racism, and misunderstandings that will connect them to tremendous tragedies. Dito ko natutunan na ang isang simpleng pagkakamali o hindi pagkakaunawaan ay nagdudulot ng malaking epekto sa bawat isa. Kung gayon hangga't mayroong taong nagkakasala at mga taong hindi nagkakaintindihan, hindi matitigil ang gulo sa mundo. This movie serves as an eye-opener to all people and a great example of F.M. Voltaire’s quotation “Prejudice is the reasoning of the stupid”, “Prejudice is an opinion without

judgement

Maybe it’s hard to please everyone and it’s hard to accept everyone’s imperfections but isn’t very fulfilling to end the day without stepping on anyone? The soundtrack of the film is the another ingredient that makes the film a tear jerking one.

I highly recommended this film to all movie fans out there. After watching this film, you will learn values and of God’s magical touch. This film has a lot of values to learn and to think na minsan, kung ano pa ang movie na walang katuturan ay iyon pa ang ating pinapanood. According to a famous movie critic, “This film is dynamite and the acting is a knockout" and I totally agree with him. The emotions of the actors are really effective that I was taken aback and was totally awed by the film. Crash! Hands down!

A Movie Review:Little Miss Sunshine

2009-07-26T19:32:00.000-07:00

"A comedy drama with heart"

How did I watch this film? Well, sale sa Video City ng mga VCD 3 for 99 PESOS. I grabbed the opportunity na makabili ng murang VCD (if I will picture my expression nako "dugapang dugapa"). Ang binili ko "Mind Hunters", "The Door In The Floor", and "Little Miss Sunshine". Little Miss Sunshine ang pinaka maganda sa tatlo, kaya I blogged about it eh. Hehe. First scene pa lang, I got amazed na on the unique character building of the movie.

Sheryl Hoover (portrayed by Toni Collette), an overworked mother of two, leads a life in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Her brother, Frank (portrayed by Steve Carell), studies the works of French author Marcel Proust. He is a homosexual scholar and after attempting suicide, he temporarily lives at home with the family. Meanwhile, Richard (portrayed by Greg Kinnear), Sheryl’s husband, is striving to build a career as a motivational speaker and life coach. He is perfect for it because of his Type A personality. Dwayne (Paul Dano), Sheryl's son from a previous marriage, is a Nietzsche-reading troubled teenager who has taken a vow of silence until he can accomplish his dream of becoming a test pilot. Richard's foulmouthed father Edwin (Alan Arkin), recently evicted from a retirement home for snorting heroin, lives with the family; he is close to his seven-year-old granddaughter Olive (Abigail Breslin).

The title of the film wasn’t so catchy that's why ngayon ko lang siya napanood (thank you Video City!). I might say that I was very into Family Drama but I didn’t expect a lot from this film. I again judged the film by its title. There was magic in this film that other film didn't have. I found the movie very compelling and fresh. I had always loved Toni Collette's acting (very superb). I've seen her in “About a Boy” and “The Hours” and marked me by her acting prowess. The cutie-cute Abigail Breslin gave a stellar performance and made her in demand. Paul Dano's character seemed to be very mysterious which was why he was my favorite character in this film. According to my plurk buddy, Astig Man, "Paul Dano is a really dynamic actor too, he's very much a chameleon, I could see him being like Johnny Depp in the future". I also asked him what the main lesson of this film was and he answered perfectly: "Few underlying levels, the importance of being yourself despite what people think, and how your family is really your number one support system, it stressed a lot of family". The movie was very creative in a way that they put signs that made the film remarkable.

A Movie Review: Shawshank Redemption

2009-07-23T21:36:00.000-07:00

My friends know me when it comes to movies. I am into Drama (Philosophical). I usually endorse a movie to my friends. But not everybody can appreciate all movies that I recommend. Some say they're too boring but some like them. Well, we are all different. I just understand them and move on. But that doesn't mean I am angry, I am just disappointed. I have my top 5 movies and for me, they're the best among the rest until I have watched Shawshank Redemption.

Morgan Freeman(Bucket List) and Tim Robbins star in this powerful nominee for 7 Academy Awards (Including Best Picture). Based on Stephen King story. Written and Directed by Frank Darabont (Green Mile)

Morgan Freeman's narration was superbly unbelievable. I wish I also have his very deep voice. The first part of the movie showed the brutality of police inside the jail. The movie has given me full ideas how it was to be in jail. Expect a lot of tragedies in this film so before watching this film you must have to be open minded or else you'll get crazy. Many said that there was no hope in jail, but for Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) hope will always be a good thing. He became indomitable and brings change to entire prison. The cleverness of this film made sleeping hard for me. "Walang labis walang kulang sa pelikula na ito. Kung baga sa Eat All You Can sulit ang pera mo dahil nandoon ang kompletong putahe na pwede mong kainin". Most of the scenes were unexpected that remind me of "A Beautiful Mind". Too bad I just bought a VCD instead of a DVD. Maybe in jail you will experience pain and misery but as I saw this film, the characters imposed that in jail you will learn to value what we called "Brotherhood", just like it was with Andy and Red. The attack of the director (Frank Darabont) made a mark on me and because of that I will always follow his films. "Mahirap makahanap ng pelikulang ganito ngayon at para sa akin masaya ako dahil may isang pelikula na nakapag bukas sa aking tulog na kaisipan.

Audition in Theater Arts (Tanghalang Batingaw)

Biyernes ang Audition ko para sa Batingaw. Alas dos ng hapon na sa school na ako para hintayin ko ang ang kaklase ko na si Dianne. Kaming dalwa lang ang naglakas ng loob para sumali don. Na late siya kaya pumila na ako para mgparegister. Maya maya naisipan ko muna pumuntang chapel para magnilay-nilay. Pagkataposko magdasal nagtungo na ako mismo sa sa lugar ng pag aauditon. May lumapit sa akin na lalaki(E.K ang name) para magtanong kung sasali daw ako. Naisip ko na isa siya sa mga taong nangangahas na mapabilang sa sikat na org na yon. Siya ay isang semenarista noon at ngayon ay isa nang estudyante(Apir tayo jan pare!). Nakumbinsi niya ako na mauna na para may kasabay daw siya. Pumasok na kami at nagsimula nang manginig ang aking katawan ngunit hindi naman ako kinakabahan dahil alam ko na kaya ko yun. Interview ang unang step.

A Movie Review: Last Chance Harvey

2009-06-10T20:58:00.000-07:00

It's about First Loves, Last Chances, and Everything In Between

Last Chance Harvey is a 2008 romantic film starring Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson, set in London. It was directed by Joel Hopkins from his own script.

Dustin Hoffman stars as Harvey Shine as a drawn jingle-writer who was rejected by his boss because he is aging out of his career. With no choice, he flew to London for his daughter's wedding but it turned out that his daughter's stepfather will give a way. Unappreciated by his family he accidentally met Emma Thompson as Kate Walker an old spinster airport employee escaping her own bad day with a glass of wine and a book.The story will evolve to their similarities and somehow learn with each others dilemma.

The story was plain but the performances of Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson gave the movie fresh, funny and sugary. It’s Thompson that really shines, imbuing every line with depth and pathos — lines that could have been thrown away by other mouths. Their encounter was just a bit too unexpected but it ended well. The film's message was about in every rejection and mistakes we commit there will always be another second chance. It explained here that even if your old you can still have your dreamed fairytale. I recommend this movie to all older audiences who feel overlooked.

Kate Winslet In two Hot Films: Little Children and The Reader

2009-06-03T04:17:00.000-07:00

We all know Kate Winslet - sexy, brilliant actress and a good wife to her husband Sam Mendez - in the Box office hit Titanic pero nakita mo na ba siyang umarte as in to the highest level? I bet hindi pa until you watch this film Little Children and The Reader. I avow that she is one of the most famous in Hollywood. She is predicted by a famous "manghuhula" (fortune teller ;) ) in

America

that she will be one of the most controversial and in-demand actress in 2009. Kate Winslet has a lot of nominations in all prestigious award ceremonies in Hollywood. In OSCARS 2008 she won Best Actress in the movie The Reader.For me She will be the next Meryl Streep.

Kate Winslet in "Little Children"

Lonely, unsophisticated, not loved by her husband, not typical suburban, studying the behavior of her neighbor - that is my observation to Kate Winslet's character (Sarah Fierce) connecting to the character of Patrick Wilson (Brad Adamson). He is called "The Prom King" by the park mothers because of his good looks. He has a problem with his wife who is a successful documentary filmmaker. Brad failed the Bar Exam twice and became a stay-at-home husband. Kate Winslet duplicates effulgently as if she is Sarah Fierce. The director (Todd Field) indeed gave a good illustration of the character. You'll see the thirst for happiness in the eyes of Sarah. I strictly observed her moves and the more the story evolved the more she acted effectively. I'm just inquisitive that the movie didn’t give justification for some edges in the connection of the other character's (kung singular, character’s kung marami sila, characters’) to Kate's. I didn't like how Field captured the metamorphosis of Sarah, I think dapat he elaborated more because it’s the exciting part in the film. The character of Sarah Fierce is hard to portray because you would be picturing a wife in a cage struggling to be free. Plus, she holds the key to the success of the film. It means the role of Kate Winslet is the heart of the film. Kate Winslet was nominated for best actress in Oscars 2006. Don't let the title fool you: "Little Children" is a decidedly adult film, though its fully grown characters do behave in immature and selfish ways.

Kate Winslet in The Reader

Sarah Fierce's Little Children has big discrepancies with Hannah Schmitz' The Reader. Kate Winslet took on the massive supporting role of Hanna Schmitz, a woman who had an affair with Michael Berg (German actor David Kross), a 15-year-old boy in 1950s Germany. They spent their brief romance alternately making love and focusing on literature, with Michael reading everything from Chekov to Homer to his lover. Soon, Hanna abruptly disappears, and Michael returns to his normal life. In this movieh, Hannah Schmitz is not the heart of the film, instead its Michael Berg but unbelievably she got a golden trophy (OSCARS) for Best Actress for the film which was supposed to be a supporting role nomination only. The director Stephen Daldry got the exact ingredient on how he can make the audience feel the warmth, pain, and persistent desire. Daldry's techniques of transforming Kate's character were also praised by critics as well as his co-directors. This movie is not a Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher thing but instead a more complicated affair which involves a lot of secrets and lies. A heavy drama mixed with history and literature added by finest actors at its best, what more can you ask for?

"Watch out for the hot scenes in the said two films.It's a dynamite!!!!"

A Movie Review: About a Boy

2009-05-31T23:13:00.000-07:00

"Growing up has nothing to do with age"

Its raining that time and i was bored,i started to get my book of DVDs and think of my next movie. I saw this movie of Hugh Grant "About a Boy" and felt that this movie will make me be in the mood. I drank a cup of coffee to make sure that i won't be sleepy. Then, I put the DVD in the player and started watching the entire film. I have a paper and a ball pen to write down my comments hahaha. Santa Super Sleigh, Killing Me Softly, Xena the Princess iilan lang iyan sa mga favorite ng mga character na si Marcus. Marcus (12 years old) was always bullied by his classmates and was always out of place. He was afraid of standing in front of a crowd. Marcus had a suicidal mother. Another character is Will Freeman, cool, immature, shallow, no relationship that last 2 months, rich, invents an imaginary son and starts attending single parent meetings. Until one day the two characters will somehow help each other to learn their faults. No man is an island sabi nga ni Bon Jovi. The message of this movie is one of a kind. Its not an ordinary comedy film with full of shitty jokes, it has a heart that will make you believe that its not to late to turn it all around. I must confess that i cried on the part when Marcus sang Killing me Soflty at the end. I am gonna give this movie 4 stars out of 5!! I recommend this movie to all who the immature, loner, not open to changes, to all family. I am sure you are all gonna love this movie. I forgot my problems while watching this film.

About a Boy is a 2002 British film directed by brothers Chris Weitz and Paul Weitz, based on the book of the same name by Nick Hornby. It was nominated for an Academy Award as BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY. This movie got a high reception to all movie critics in Rotten Tomatoes "A winning comedy that benefits from Hugh Grant's boyish charms.94%

(156 REVIEWS)(145 FRESH)(11 ROTTEN)

My favorite scene in About a Boy...Warning ....SPOILER!!

A MOVIE REVIEW: The Last Holiday

2009-05-30T00:06:00.000-07:00

She always taught
She was somebody.....
and she was.

The Last Holiday is a 2006 American comedy featuring the stunning Queen Latifah. I rented the movie in Video City (I am renting muna before i buy a DVD or a VCD). Matagal ko nang gustong panoodin itong movie na ito yun nga lang there are so many good movies na kasabay nito so parang natabunan siya. Imagine 2006 na siya super tagal na. At last I watched it last Wedneday and i will give this movie a rating of 3 stars out of 5. I love this movie because it made me laugh the hardest. Honestly I dont like Queen Latifah i hate her because of some reasons, it changed when i have watched Last Holiday. Naniniwala na ako sa talent niya as an actress it is natural. But according to the movie critics in Rotten tomatoes although Queen Latifah's bountiful life-affirming spirit permeates the film, director Wayne Wang is unable to revive this remake with any real flair. It only got an average 54%(fresh 61)(rotten 51). I recommend this movie to those people who is sad, uncofident, pesimistic, aspiring chefs. You will not be bored watching this kind of movie, A nice little romantic comedy which also packs an emotional punch!!

Synopsis:
Queen Latifah is absolutely delightful in Wayne Wang's romantic comedy, LAST HOLIDAY. Latifah stars as Georgia Byrd, a reserved plus-sized woman who lives a dreary, ordinary life in pre-Katrina New Orleans, where she dreams of an elegant existence filled with fancy food, stylish clothing, and high-society parties. But she spends most of her evenings eating frozen dinners all alone, often thinking about a shy coworker (LL Cool J) she has a crush on. When she is suddenly diagnosed with a terminal illness and given three weeks to live, she collects her savings and decides to go crazy, doing all those things she would never allow herself to do before. She heads for one of the world's ritziest hotels, the Grand Hotel Pupp in Karlovy Vary in the Czech Republic, where she takes advantage of every luxury she can, from spa treatments to downhill ski runs to helicopter trips to designer shopping excursions. While her lavish appetite is admired by a gourmet chef (Gerard Depardieu, showing agile comic skill), she is deemed a potential threat by a corporate bigwig (a slick Timothy Hutton). She's also none too happy to find her too-smooth senator (Giancarlo Esposito) enjoying a lush vacation instead of serving his community.

Twilight V.S New Moon

2009-05-29T21:35:00.000-07:00

I can smell the Showing of New Moon in Nov. 11 2009 and i know the fans are all hungry to watch it. Before New Moon lets recap the movie Twilight. Twilight didn't impress the movie critics , it only got an average rating of 49% in Rotten Tomatoes (reviewed counted 188)(Fresh 92)(Rotten 96). In spite of the ratings of the critics it top the Box Office Chart.They grossed 69,637,740 in weekend opening, it gained $191,449,475 in total Box office and a $379,912,94 GrosRevenue. Twilight is one of the most successful movies in 2008 and the question is can New Moon beat the Box office success of Twilight?

"A sometimes girlie swirl of obsession that will delight fans, this faithful adaptation is after teenage blood, and will most likely hit a box office artery"

"The film progresses in a manner that's more comatose than undead."

- Dan Lybarger (efilm.critic.com)

CHANGE OF DIRECTORS:

The director of Twilight Catherine Hardicker will no longer be the director of New Moon, it would be Chris Weitz will handle New Moon.Catherine Hardicker Chris Weitz is an Academy Award nominated producer, writer and director. He is best known for his work with his brother, Paul Weitz, on the comedy films American Pie and About a Boy, as well as the film adaptation of the novel The Golden Compass. When asked about the sequel, Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke stated, "It's got werewolves, it's got visual effects that turn people into werewolves, it's got motorcycle stunts, you go to Italy. It's probably twice as much as this [to film].

Cate Blanchett's scandal VS Katrina Halili's scandal

2009-05-27T04:58:00.000-07:00

"ONE WOMEN'S MISTAKE IS ANOTHER"S OPPORTUNITY"

Super famous today the Hot scandals of Katrina and Hayden, that is why i'll share another scandalous movie of Judi Dench and Cate Blanchet. Actually the movie is kinda related to their story (sort of) yun nga lang two women ang involve here. A very good script, good direction by Richard Eyre, and shocking performances by Dench and Blanchet. Cate Blanchet was nominated Best Actress in OSCARS. It got a hight reception to the movie critics in rotten tomatoes (87% Rating). I recommend this movie to all women so that they will be warned . You will never regret watching this film!!A shocking FINALE!!!

"A measured and yet gloriously overblown study of desire, entitlement and the twists we experience while shuttling between the two."

- Alan Dale (Blogcritics.org)

"This is a strong drama that simmers its way to a boil by the end of the film. It falters only at the very end, in which the story falls back on a cliché."

SYPNOSIS
Dame Judi Dench and Kate Blanchett face off with searing performances in this riveting tale of obsession and desire. Based on the novel by Zoe Heller, NOTES ON A SCANDAL is the story of Barbara Covett (Dench), a hard-nosed spinster schoolteacher, and her poisonous friendship with fellow teacher Sheba Hart (Blanchett). When the young and beautiful Sheba shows up as the new art instructor, everyone is charmed by her, including the embittered Barbara. Barbara is thrilled when her lonely life is shaken up by Sheba's overtures of friendship, as Sheba invites her to share in family dinners, and opens up to her about her marital troubles and personal longing. Barbara narrates her own feelings of longing to us from her meticulous diaries, and it becomes increasingly clear that her take on the friendship is uncomfortably intense, if not borderline delusional. Things reach a fever pitch when Barbara happens upon Sheba dallying in the art room with a 15-year-old student. She tells Sheba that she must end the affair at once, but decides not to report her to the school, and instead, to use her knowledge of the indiscretion to draw Sheba closer to her, and put her in her debt. But when Barbara's demands on Sheba become too high, things soon unravel, setting off a chain of events that will leave viewers chewing their nails to the quick, but unable to tear their eyes away. Both Blanchett and Dench are dazzling to watch as they deftly handle the barbed wit of Patrick Marber's screenplay. Directed by Richard Eyre of the Northern Theatre of London, and with a score by Philip Glass, NOTES ON A SCANDAL takes what could serve as mere tabloid fodder and plays it out on the level of Shakespearean tragedy.
