Movie: Unknown
I have just watched the movie UNKNOWN starring Liam Neeson, as it is just showing here in the Philippines this week. As for the title, I don’t know, at first I thought it’s going to be some kind of alien stuff or some unknown territory like Mars or …
Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist

At first, I thought it would …
Movie : Quest for Camelot
We had a family movie night on Friday night; just me, the wife and the kids. Since I wanted something suitable for everyone, I looked for an animated family movie to watch. I ended up with Quest for Camelot.
This movie was better than expected. It was about a young …
Scy Fy’s “Stonehenge Apocalypse” made-for-tv movie
The made-for-TV, Scy-fy produced film in question is much like the title suggests: campy, amusing and predictable. The plot is predictable enough and involves a conspiracy theorist, an attractive female scientist who becomes convinced by his vision in a pairing popular since Mulder and Scully, and ancient civilizations as …
Prince of Persia,The Sands of Time (2010)
I saw this movie 2 weeks after it came out, because there were a lot of people and the queue lines were long in the theaters!
I absolutely love the Prince of Persia games, and I have played almost all of them except for the latest one, Prince of …

Hedwig and the Angry Inch (movie)
I don’t like most musicals because I find the majority of them boring and almost ridiculous. It really doesn’t matter what they’re about either, because they generally evoke the same feelings within me. I knew absolutely nothing about Hedwig and the Angry Inch when I was younger, because if …

Movie The love guru
This was an overall alright movie I thought. I just didn’t care for it all that much. I think it was the type of movie it was. I think it could have been a lot of better especially with the actors that were in it. Jessica Alba, Mike Myers …
Princess Bride (1987 movie)
A fairy tale movie in every sense. This story is told to a young Fred Savage by his grandfather, Pater Falk. In a fairy tale land with fairy tale characters, it brings to life a masterpiece that is loved to this very day. The story is about a fair …
Prime movie
The recent romantic comedy staring Uma Thurman entilted Prime didn’t seem to fit the usual mold. It was always my opinion that romantic comidies should make you feel good and escape from reality. Prime was a closer fit to the roller coaster that is love.
The movie had …
Charlie Wilson’s War, biographical drama film by Mike Nichols
Something about Charlie Wilson’s War doesn’t feel right. The film tells the true story about Charlie Wilson and how he single handedly took down the Soviets. I was left with a bad taste in my mouth after watching this movie and I don’t know why I feel this way …
The Bourne Legacy (2012)
The Bourne Legacy is actually a huge disappointment. I delayed watching it because I was reading the book. After reading the book by Eric Van Lustbader, the actual movie was a complete disappointment. As a matter of fact, the movie is still a disappointment even without reading the actual …

The Feminine Touch movie
Overall, I like The Feminine Touch, a classic movie from 1941. It’s a bit of a comedy with dramatic undertones. Rosalind Russell stars as Julie Hathaway, the wife of an aspiring author, who is preparing his manuscript about jealousy and how wrong it is. Don Ameche …
Bedtime Stories
I’ll admit it: I wasn’t too excited about taking my kids to see Bedtime Stories (starring Adam Sandler, Courtney Cox, Kerri Russell).
They received a gift card for the local movie theater from an aunt as a Christmas present and they were itching to make the trek to our local …
Some Kind of Wonderful movie
One of the most classic and beloved american high school movies of the 1980s, perhaps not as well known as Fast times at Ridgemont High for example, but Some kind of wonderful is definitely my own personal favorite. In the centre of the story stands a rebellious young man, …

2.Unexpected Changes
3.Great character lines
4.Realistic but still surreal characters
5.Topnotch graphics
6.Amazing music
What does this DVD have?

Whatever happened to the other 5 elements? They were butchered.

Dragonball Evolution
I can’t really figure out why this movie was made. Dragonball’s popularity peaked years ago and the concept itself is something that flat out just doesn’t transition well to live action.
Having been DBZ fans in high school, my roommate and I decided to check it out. …
The Umbrellas of Cherbourg movie

“Get Up” is the first single and music video from Ciara’s second album titled “Ciara: The Evolution”, it’s also featured on 2006’s “Step Up” Soundtrack. It samples 1984’s “Somebody’s Watching Me” by Rockwell in a very clever fashion as the song …
9 to 5 by Dolly Pardon
9 to 5 is the first song that I personally remember hearing Dolly Pardon perform on TV. I saw the movie a few years latter when it came out and just about died laughing. It has a way of demonstrating the male stereo type of so many bosses. It …
The Dead One movie
I came across a movie on TV the other day called The Dead One. I didn’t know a whole lot about it but it starred Wilmer Valderrama (Fez from That 70s Show) and I decided to record it and watch it later based solely on that.
Well, I finally got …
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince Movie
*SPOILER ALERT!*

Burn after reading is a 2008 movie of the Coen brothers. I had great expectations but I must say, right here at the beginning, and I got disappointed. First of all when I saw the list of actors; George Clooney, John Malkovich, Frances McDormand, Brad Pitt and the rest …

Miss Congeniality
The actress, Sandra Bullock is very much related to light hearted, feel good movies and “Miss Congeniality” is one of these movies. “Miss Congeniality” success is greatly based on Bullock’s acting abilities and a great script that includes action, adventure, humour and romance all mixed up together.
In this movie …
Spiderman 3
I went into this movie expecting it to be busy. It was, but not at first. It started off very slowly, reintroducing the main characters and situations already familiar to us from the first two movies. But, with the preliminaries out of the way, things got rockin’, starting, I …

Movie Ishtar
When this thing came out in the late 1980’s, it was slammed so roundly by a mass group of film critics that I didn’t even bother to go see it. I did, however, decide to “treat” myself to a cable television presentation of it not long ago …
Sergeantt York Movie

“Glen Or Glenda” (1953 Film)
Glen Or Glenda- a movie known to film critics, enthusiasts, and just about everybody else who’s seen it as the worst film ever made. It was the infamous Edward D. Wood Jr’s first “feature” film, as well as his first and only starring role in one of his films …
Snatch Movie
A british comedy from director Guy Ritchie is a classic masterpiece of movie making. Action, comedy and revenge are the spices that bring this movie to life.

The Proposal Movie
One of my favorite actress is Sandra Bullock. I watched all of her films from Speed with Keanu Reeves up to this one. I was curious about this film the first time I found it out. What is The Proposal is all about? I saw some billboards showing that …
Cyborg 1989 Movie Starring Van Damme
I guess what I am going to be trying to do right now is to justify the grade I am about to give this movie. I am going to give this movie the grade of eight out of ten, and assert that it is a very good film. I …
