Movies Reviews
Caregiver by Sharon Cuneta
I know Filipinos are a bit easy to please. Even with tv shows, it seems that a simple plot does not matter to them for as long as their favorite artist stars the show, or the movie. Well as for me, I think it is not about who plays …
Twilight The Movie
Quote: “Saying Twilight is good because it’s popular would be like saying Herpes is good because a lot of people have it.”
First of all, bad acting, the movie seemed rushed and the characters didn’t seem like they were in character. I was waiting for someone to say…”just kidding!”
Edward seemed …
Movie: The Apple Dumpling Gang
I was flipping through channels the other night and came across a movie I have yet to see in its entirety; The Apple Dumpling Gang.

Tears of the Sun
The Tears of theSun is a thrilling movie that talks about a squad of American Special Troops, leads by Lt Waters. They travel deep into the hostile area of Africa to carry out a rescue mission. for this movie, I think there are totally three advantages.

Lenny Live (documentary)
Years ago I watched a documentary on Lenny Kravitz that showed who he was BEFORE he became the big time superstar. It centered a lot on his personal life, and his child with Lisa Bonet, Zoey. In this documentary, Lenny’s daughter is well into her teens …

Ocean’s 13
I’m not going to lie. I thought Ocean’s 12 was absolutely terrible! Ocean’s 11 was, in my opinion, a very solid movie, that I thoroughly enjoyed. So when the third in line of the sequel was announced, I was a bit skeptical. But, nonetheless, I …

Sisters of the Gion
Early film by Kenji Mizoguchi, even if it isn’t silent. Tells the story of geisha women in 17th century Japan. The whole narrative and style of the film is founded in realism and I believe it has been somewhat influential on later filmmakers. However, the film is no more …
Vamps (movie)
I watched the movie “Vamps” last night for the first time and I thought that it was one of the most interesting vampire movies that I’ve watched in a very long time. The funny thing was that I’ve never heard of the movie before last night, which is a …
Disney movie: Planes
I went to watch this movie with a 5 year old boy who absolutely LOVES Cars, Disney’s previous movie set in the same universe where humans and animals don’t exist, and are actually replaced by cars, trucks and planes.

Spirited Away Movie
This is a wonderful animated file to me. Created by Hayao Miyazaki, a famous japanese animation artist. It is a story of a young girl who was thrown into a world where both good and evil exist. Thoughtout the film, she gets trained to be brave, learns about …
Horror Movies
What’s the deal with these so called Horror Movies that are being made these days. Do they know the meaning of Horror? Correct me if i’m wrong…but shouldn’t a horror movie scare you? The rating for a typical horror is usually PG-13. How the hell can this be horror, …

Salt the Movie
Salt is actually both simple and hard to examine —“ and for that same cause. That cause is which Salt is really a business choice movie as well as from which perspective this works pretty much. But that does mean that it’s completely emptiness of innovative spark.
This is actually …
National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation
I’m not sure about most people, but my holiday season isn’t complete without watching National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.
Of all the Vacation movies starring Chevy Chase, this is the only one that actually has the Griswold family staying home for their vacation. But, the series of unfortunate events that befall …
Movie Surf’s Up
I have always loved a good kid’s animation, but this movie really re-defines the lines in animation. Surf’s Up had amazing graphics, great animation and detail, a great storyline, and a whole lot of good, clean humor. This is probably one of the best kids (and adult’s!) movies of …

Movie Children of the Corn
I can’t remember the first time I saw Children of the Corn, but I know that it scared the daylights out of me. Now that I’ve watched it again as an adult, the same doesn’t hold true. Honestly I’m not sure if it’s because the film is older, or …
The Other Boelyn Girl
The interesting thing about movies based on the life of a real historical figure is you sometimes get a point of view that is different than you would come to expect. And, that difference makes the movie much better than you expected it to be.
The Other Boleyn Girl is …
Grandma’s Boy movie
A couple years ago when I had all of the movie channels they played this on one of them and I ended up watching it. It was better than I thought it was going to be. I really only started watching it because there was nothing else better on. …

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps movie
Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps began with an opening teaser before the credits that featured Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) being released from prison, and it was fantastic. The mobile phone bit is a hoot, but the poignancy of the moment came when Gekko was watching the other released …

Friday the 13th Part 5
I think one of the funniest scenes in the movie is when you have a gorgeous blonde who is trying to hook up with a goofy, balding man. Every time I see the movie, I start laughing. I realize that it is supposed to be a small town, but …
The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3
I had been waiting for The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 to come out in DVD, because I love any movie that Denzel Washington does, and I had heard that this remake was excellent and spell-binding. I had also heard that John Travolta played a complicated, evil character, …
The Pursuit of Happyness
The Pursuit of Happyness (”happyness” intentionally misspelled) is unusually good, in fact I would say it is one of the best movies I’ve recently watched. Will Smith plays Chris, a poor man trying hard to provide for his family but not succeeding, for a long time. His wife is …
Midway movie
In 1976, Midway was released. This large, star-filled ensemble cast tells the story of the battle of Midway. For me, there are pluses and minuses to this production.
I do enjoy the story of the battle. It was important in World War II, and the story should …
Feature Film “The Reaping”
I first saw this film when it came on tv. The subject seemed interesting and although I am not a Hillary Swank fan in any way I decided to give it a try because the plot sounded really different. Hillary plays a woman who was once a …

Exorcism of Emily Rose movie
A true story that is hard to believe by the people.
The movie was focused in the issue of God and Demons. And the most debate-able topic of Catholic church involving to exorcism. There is a lot of situation like this happening around the globe and mostly to asian countries …
On the Town musical
Another great musical that I truly love to watch is On the Town. It’s very upbeat and all about love. It’s highly entertaining, with songs that make you want to sing along with them.
The story of On the Town is pretty basic. It’s three sailors on …
The Mind’s Eye
The Mind’s Eye is a very stunning and magical movie. The movie is very unique because it is all art with music. There are not human actors or scripts. You just see segments of digital art move to the sound of beautiful music. I really love this video and it …

Movie The Game Plan
If any of you like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, then you have probably seen “The Game Plan”. My husband loves the Rock and watches all of his movies. I think he’s an ok actor, but I really think he did a good job in the movie “The …
My Best Friend’s Girl
I find this movie witty, funny but if only those some rude words or lewd could be ignored or totally deleted from the scenes, I would label this as a very user-friendly or a clean family and date movie. I love Kate Hudson’s acting; always have and I find …

The Perks of Being a Wallflower (movie)
I’m one of those people who is a big fan of independent films, but for some reason when I saw a trailer of this movie a few months ago I wasn’t very interested in it. The fact that Emma Watson and Logan Leerman played two of the main characters …
Doogal animated film
I usually love animated films, especially some of the newer ones. However, though I did like Doogal, I really wasn’t all that impressed with it either.
It was definitely a cute film. Doogal is a dog who, along with a group of his friends, has to defeat an evil wizard …
