A Dead Calling

A Christmas Carol (1938)
As it turned out, I was only able to view one version of A Christmas Carol this year. Normally, I see several, but scheduling just didn’t work out, not to mention I didn’t notice this Charles Dickens’ classic being shown all that much. This A Christmas Carol …

SM Marikina Mall Digital Theater
I was blown away when I watched Up last weekend at the SM Marikina Cinema 1 Digital Theater. This was my first time in SM Marikina’s digital theater. I have never been too impressed with the theaters of the other SM malls because it has never been of particularly …
8 MM (1999)
I did not enjoy all the scenes I saw in this movie but for me this movie is a good one because it teaches the viewers that there are things that are totally disagreeable in the hiding. It also gives us the idea that things are not …

Movie : Angel Of Death (2009)
I really wasn’t expecting much when I sat down the other night to watch the 2009 movie ANGEL OF DEATH. I have to admit that I usually have a bit of a problem with movies that have strong female leads characters as the film-makers usually get it so wrong.
…
Hitch
The other night I was watching the movie Hitch starring Will Smith and I thought I would give my take on this movie. Well I have been a fan of Smith since Fresh Prince and I enjoy many of his action movies. Hitch shows a date doctor whose job …

I think this animated film is perhaps one of the never-ending type of movies that I will definitely be catching a lot of times in this year 2008. I think that perhaps 2008 will be a very good year of animations and the likes and in this very funny …
Street Kings Movie
I’m not a big fan of action-packed thriller movies. However, when my husband bought this DVD and asked me to watch with him, I was impressed that it kept me engrossed right till the end of the movie. I thought that I’d have lost interest in it half way.

Planet Terror from Grindhouse is certanly a movie worth watching. personally i liked it much more than the romero version of zombies, even though you can’t really consider those creatures zombies in Planet Terror.

Storm of the Century (horror movie)
Although it is a bit long, without any doubt, this is absolutely one of my favourite horror movies by Stephen King. With seemingly little effort, he manages to convey suspense from one end of this outstanding movie right through to the other as our imaginations run the gamut.
The …
There Will Be Blood movie
My wife and I picked out the movie “There Will Be Blood” because it looked and sounded like it would be a great action film.
They should have called the movie “There Will be Boredom.”
I won’t say it was a bad movie, because, from what I saw of it, it …
Missing movie
From 1982, Missing tells a true story that isn’t always easy to watch. It’s an intense drama that can challenge one’s emotions. It’s a well written production, however, and does tell a story. I hate to term it entertaining, considering the subject matter, but the truth …
