Best movie i seen in 2003 had to be KILL BILL.  Its a good ethnic oriented flick. It had attractive white, asian, and black women. And these women dont take no crap from no one. :)

Ripley's Game
*John Malkovich

Malkovich plays Tom Ripley, the suave sociopath. This is supposed to the sequel of The Talented Mr. Ripley (Matt Damon, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow) some 30 years later. As usual Malkovich is debonair but the movie lacked the intensity of The Talented...


Duplex
*Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore

Candy-floss.


School of Rock
*Jack Black

I like Jack Black since I laid eyes on him in High Fidelity (John Cusack) This movie is a surprise in a sense that it managed to make Jack Black appear cute in his role. I like movies which talk about music a lot. I guess I enjoyed this one.


Gothika
*Halle Berry, Penelope Cruz, Robert Downey, Jr.

The movie manages to capture your interest til the very end cos you are left there wondering what is really going on. It has a few shriek moments but not really scary. However, I think it managed to crack up towards the end, serving some lame dialogues. I would have wanted a better ending.


Cold Mountain
*Nicole Kidman, Renee Zellwegger, Jude Law

The story was a bit winded but it had a story to tell. I love Rene Zellwegger  in this one. As usual, she is perky and funny. Nicole is so glamorous and Jude Law looked old. LOL. But its a good story and it sticks in your mind long after you finished watching it. I guess I liked it but I dont want to watch it again.


Lost in Translation
*Bill Murray, Scarlett Johansson

I kept on looking for the range that Bill Murray they said had exuded but I didnt see it. Maybe thats the brilliance of this film because it managed to capture boredom. Bill played a bored tourist very well. The scenes are unforgettable and crisp.

Cheaper By The Dozen
Steve Martin. Bonnie Hunt. A million kids!

I just bought the DVD of this one after being convinced by my good friend that its really funny. It has its funny moments but the concept of having 12 kids is totally alien even to an Asian like me. If you have nothing better to do, you might want to watch this one just to make vegetating on the couch worthwhile. The twin boys were cute though.

Out Of Time
Denzel Washington

This story has surprising twists it actually glued me to my seat to see how it will turn out. It started slowly though...building up on the story and the characters---most of the time I could guess what is bound to happen. Its quite okay though. I just didnt expect Denzel Washington in this kind of B movie, afterall he is one great dramatic actor.

Uptown Girls
Brittany Murphy, Dakota Fanning, Heather Locklear

Brittany Murphy (Tai of Clueless) portrays the daughter of a deceased rock star who had to learn how to earn a living after her accountant stole her inheritance. Dakota Fanning portrays a precocious hypochondriac 8 year old obsessed with ballet. When fate brought them together, the interlacing of Murphy's portrayal of ineptitude and Fanning's supercilious attitude resulted in a very interesting film. The film also made use of a lot of music that were familiar and new ones that were quite catchy. And the song "Molly Smiles" is quite heartwarming. Charming film, really.

Stuck On You
Matt Damon, Greg Kinnear, Cher, Meryl Streep


Few minutes into the movie, I wanted to turn it off but since I rented it and wasnt doing anything particularly important, I sat through the whole movie bored.

It didnt even attempt to make  "believable" scenes. For instance, the conjoined twins were separated physically by: a bus door and a prison door. If they shared a liver in that particular area where they are conjoined, I think it would be a medical emergency when a heavy iron prison door clamps shut in that area....or a bus door for that matter.

This movie has no redeeming points, save your money by not renting it. So I'm giving it ---- :( :( :(

L.A. Confidential
Kevin Spacey, Russell Crowe, Guy Pearce, Kim Basinger, Danny DeVito

This film-noire set in the 50s showcased the most talented group of actors playing policemen in the Los Angeles area. This screenplay adaptation of an Ellroy novel is a seedy, twisted and cynical movie about the men in the force drawn morally together by a crime investigation. As the movie goes along, each character is stripped layer by layer until they each learn why they became a cop in the first place. Beautifully scripted and portrayed, LA Confidential is a throbbing drama-suspense worth warming your couch on a late-evening weekday relaxation. Its a ----  ;D  ;D  ;D

Mystic River
Tim Robbins, Sean Penn, Kevin Bacon, Marcia Gay Harden, Laurence Fishburn, Laura Linney

Three childhood friends (Tim Robbins, Sean Penn, Kevin Bacon) who fell apart by a crime became reunited by a crime but for all the wrong reasons. The movie starts off with the heart-wrenching crime done on 11 year old Dave in the hands of pedophiles. Fast forward some 30 years later and you will see Dave (Tim Robbins) coming home at 3am all covered in someone else's blood. The next morning news breakout that Jimmy's (Sean Penn) daughter was brutally murdered. Dave's behavior became erratic, to the point of breaking.

The movie is excruciatingly and deliberately slow. The audience is left thinking whether Dave killed Jimmy's daughter. All the while though, I ruminated why Dave snapped some 30 years later and not before.  

There is a certain quietness about the movie. The ending too is almost anti-climactic but over all, I like the film. Its good. I dont question why Sean Penn won the Best Actor Award in the Oscars for this one.

Kill Bill vol. 1
Uma Thurman, Daryl Hannah, Michael Madsen, Lucy Liu, Viveca Fox, David Carradine

I've seen this movie a long time ago in the theatres. But when I got a call from my favorite DVD shop that a copy was available, I went and got one. I'm not surprised that most people I work with hate this movie because of its violence. I admit, at first, I was horrified at the blatant disregard for the worthiness of life. But hey, thats Hollywood.

This movie defies reason. While some movies go forward to tell the story, this movie plunges backward leaving the audience knowledgeable of what happened but not how it happened. This is typical Quentin Tarantino. I call it the "cut and paste" style. However, QT's depth of creativity amazes me.

Another point why this movie defies reason: After 4 years, Sofie Fatale still sport the same ringing tone for her cellphone. I dont know, she probably like Auld Lang Syne too much.

When The Bride woke up from a coma, she was muttering "4 years, 4 years" How would she know she's been in a coma for 4 years? Most patients who have been staying in the hospital for a week would be disoriented to time. How much more a coma patient?

Another reason defying moment: When she woke up she wasnt able to walk (atrophy of disuse is the correct term and not entropy as the movie implied) but she had such upper body strength makes any wrestler fan proud.

And the blood spurts. The shower of red gore splashing everywhere is every criminalist's nightmare. I had a gleeful thought about CSI people covering the crime scenes and having a frenzied day!

This movie, despite its shameless irascibility and violence, is a brilliant QT. I guess , the secret to enjoying a QT film is to sit back, enjoy the artistry and nevermind reason.

I have just seen the movie "Van Helsing".Just like the movie "The Mummy" it relies on action and loads of FX to make the movie while the storyline itself is lacking.I love SPFX movies but I also like to have a story behind it also.The werewolf still looks fake to me.Why cant anyone build a better werewolf?If ya like action movies then this wont dissapoint ya too much.

Kill Bill volume 2

She killed Bill, and I can't believe that Bill is the father of her daughter. Funny part,  when the kung fu master was teaching her some Karate.

Shrek2 is the movie to watch.  From start to finish it was hilarious. I still love Shrek more but part two is good too. New character Puss in Boots (voice of Banderas) is lovable. I just hoped the littlepigs with German accents got more exposure.

Along Came Polly
Ben Stiller, Jennifer Aniston, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Hank Azaria, Debra Messing, Alec Baldwin

The reason why I like Ben Stiller's characters in all the movies that he starred in is because of his consistency and almost stereotypical casting of an early 30s guy with a decent career and with an almost indecent badluck at relationships. Ben Stiller's portrayal of an underdog-slash-kindhearted-slash-baffled borderline metrosexual almost always make me laugh so hard that if I was drinking soda, it would come out as a bubble through my nose. Along Came Polly is a funny movie about Reuben Feffer (Stiller), an uber-cautious guy who caught his wife, Lisa (Messing) having sex with a french nudist scuba instructor, Claude (Azaria) while they were on the first day of their honeymoon. With his world in chaos, Reuben went back to New York and attended an art exhibit with his bestfriend, Sandy Lyle (Hoffman) where he met Polly...Prince (Aniston). The rest they say is typical Stiller history with funny angst and predictable twists and turns.  I like Jennifer Aniston but throughout the movie I half-expected Drew Barrymore to show up instead of her. I dont know why, but probably I have Drew pegged as someone who can be brilliant in playing a scatterbrained, bohemian, owner of a blind ferret, ethnic food lover, world traipsing, giddy blonde. My absolute favorite in this movie is Philip Seymour Hoffman. He has been my favorite for quite sometime now and I try never to miss any of his movies. He is a brilliant actor with a penchant for roles that call for a snotty, white, rich kid which he plays so well. I like this movie and there are really laugh out loud moments worth rewinding.  ;D ;D ;D

Johnny English
Rowan Atkinson, John Malkovich, Natalie Imbruglia

Im not ashamed to admit it but I watch Mr. Bean. When this movie came out of the theatres, I wanted to watch it but thinking it would be sub-par, I decided to wait til it would come out on video so I could rent it. Last night, I did. I thought it was an evening where I didnt have to use my brain and well, I wasnt disappointed.

This movie is a comedy of errors, typical Mr. Bean style only that HE talks. Its weird to see Mr. Bean talking but its not that bad either. I've always been a sucker for british accents. However this movie is totally not without some redeeming values. What it lacks for plot and good screen play, it makes up for some funny scenes that will really make you laugh out loud. I watched this last night with my cousin, Philip, and we were slapping back and forth at some inconceivably idiotic things Atkinson did. If you're looking for that subtle British humor that cracks you up, this isnt the movie to look for that in.

Worst than mediocre, senseless, plotless, idiotic but LOL kind of movie---unless of course you're a true blue cinematic buff and you wouldnt want to be caught dead watching this movie. Overall? Its the company that made this movie worthwhile.

The Day After Tomorrow was good I thought

Raising Helen is good and Kate Hudson was great

Troy was a good epic movie I give it a thumbs up

Walking Tall was good but i still like the original better

Envy i didnt like much and it had Jack Black in it as well

I saw Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban this past weekend and it was good but these characters are growing up and its not as cute as it used to be.

Seabiscuit
Jeff Bridges, Tobey Maguire, Chris Cooper

A depression era real life story of a little horse that could. Documentary-like in some aspects with dazzling arrays of scenic rural America, Seabiscuit was a racehorse that embodied American hope in that most bewildering time of a great nation at the turn of the century. A symbol that brought 3 lives together---a millionaire (Jeff Bridges as CS Howard), a jockey (Tobey MacGuire as Red Pollard) and a horsewhisperer (Chris Cooper as Tom Smith) and filled them with hope, courage and the belief that dreams do come true. The movie started slowly, the build up was excruciating and painful but all worth it. A feel good, beautiful movie that inspires all of us.

Filipinas
Maricel Soriano, Richard Gomez, Armida Sigueon Reyna, Dawn Zulueta

Yes, I do watch tagalog films. But not often. I hate it when the scene drags on and on which most directors have a penchant of.

Filipinas is about family. They've been pushing that a lot lately. Movies with family values and morals that I feel like I'm sitting in a class and the subject topic is rammed down my throat.

Filipinas is a last name of a prominent family. The matriarch, Flor (Reyna) is the only cohesive force that holds the disintegrating family. In the end, something bad has to happen to her to bring her children together. Typical? I thought so.

The story is being narrated by Yolanda (Soriano), the eldest daughter of Flor, who played a very good role as a daughter nearing the end of her tether. She brought the audience into step by step, gradual chipping off of the individual persona of her siblings. As the whole story unfolds through her eyes, brick by brick she builds up into a massive balloon of resentment, bitterness and anger until she exploded. What happened was, her explosion was as lame as a tomato plant on a summer's day.

I sat there, watched it and knew where it was heading. Totally predictable and chockful of pangaral.

Black Cadillac

Shane Johnson is a cutie ;D

What starts as a night of celebration for three friends, quickly becomes the ultimate test of survival when their car breaks down on a frozen and deserted mountian road. The mystery grows when they are joined by a local deputy sheriff and are stalked down the mountain by the ominous, probing headlights of a black Cadillac. It's a terrifying race against man, machine and mother nature's most feared elements.

I saw Stepfordwives on Thursday. It was good. Im a big time Christopher Walken fan though. I like just about everything he is in.


Took my daughter to see Spiderman 2 last night. This movie really surprised me. It was good and I dont usually like the superhero/fantasy and sequal type of movies. I thought it was better than Spiderman 1. Maybe seeing it on the big screen makes a difference. I didnt see the first on the big screen only on dvd.

I agree. The elevator scene was really funny, especially when the guy ask him about the spiderman suit.

The pacing was great and a good balance between the human drama and the action. The subway fight was my favorite.  Most people in the theater clapped and enjoyed the fact that Peter and MJ  were finally together.

I was thinking on how many spider-mans do they plan on doing?  :-/

Spiderman 2
Tobey Macguire, Kirsten Dunst, Alfred Molina, James Franco


Oh, boy. I practically rubbed my hands together in anticipation of watching this much awaited sequel. I thought I would have to wait for the DVD copy when he and I couldnt synchronize our schedules. But we finally were able to watch it and both of us sat there dumbfounded at the spectacular scenes that unfolded infront of us. This has got to be the best movie I've seen this year besides LOTR: ROTK, of course.

I won't go much into details as I know most of you have seen this movie but one word sums up Spiderman 2. CHOICE. In this sequel, a superhero is not only confounded with choices that will not only affect his personal life but also those who surrounds him. The choices that he had to make will of course, dictate the life he leads. Choices and destiny. Either way, its meant to be.

I like that part when after saving the train he collapsed but the hands that held him gingerly placed him on the floor of the train and faceless voice remarked that he (Spiderman) is so young and is of the same age as his son. I call that scene "Demystifying A Superhero" --- when they realize he is human after all and there's really no mystery there.



Kill Bill 2
Uma Thurman, David Carradine, Michael Madsen, Daryl Hannah

Right after we watched Spiderman, we queued for Kill Bill 2. I thought this movie would come in 3 volumes but I dont know what happened because the story ended pretty much on this second installment.

Probably the reason why I enjoyed this movie was because it tied up all the loose ends. It brought some sort of closure for me and for Beatrix Kiddo. But the reason why I didnt enjoy the movie was because somehow, it became stale for me. The QT magic that was so present in volume 1 is nowhere to be found in volume 2. It has its wonderful moments though----when Beatrix, quick as a viper, gouge out Elle's remaining eye. I practically chortled in amusement despite the violence. I think thats the bloodthirsty in me coming out. But overall, I cringe at the scenes that depicted pain: When Beatrix kept punching the board til her knuckles bled and her hand paralyzed with pain. That was a "shiver" moment for me as well as the other body slammin', bone crunchin, bleed-bleed to death scenes.

Shrek 2- Nice duet of Antonio Vanderas and Eddie Murphy.  ;D

The girl next door - Strong sexual content, language. Starring Emile Hirsch and Elisha Cuthbert.

13 going on 30 - Starring Jennife Garner. Not so good film. I rather see her kicking some ass than being a cutie pie.

In The Line of Fire
Clint Eastwood, John Malkovich, Rene Russo

The reason why I bought this DVD was because John Malkovich is in it. I have an interesting fetish when it comes to John Malkovich (read blog) and when I viewed this film, I wasnt disappointed. John Malkovich played the  would be assassin of the President of the United States and the protagonist was Clint Eastwood, playing an old, tired, almost down and out Secret Service Agent.

The story was ordinary except that I think John Malkovich got the best speaking part while Clint Eastwood was delegated to corny cliches. The only thing that I hate about watching old movies such as this,  is when you know a certain situation wouldnt happen like that anymore had it been filmed today.

My point was, the sniper couldnt take a shot at John  Malkovich cos Malkovich busted all the bulbs in the glass elevator. If only that happened now, I think the sniper would have been able to use heat sensor weapons and can take out the assassin in a flash.

I'll only watch this film again only to hear John Malkovich speak.  ;D

Shrek 2
voices of: Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, Antonio Banderas, Julie Andrews

My mother doesnt like Shrek because she thinks he is ugly but I was surprised that she watched it with me. The movie is funny and I'm just glad my mom was laughing along with me. I like the cat. I think he would be great with tomato salsa and downed with cold margarita. Here kitty kitty----



Trainspotting
Ewan McGregor

Memorable scenes with Ewan McGregor in the toilet looking for his opium suppositories and the struggle for the blanket and who gets to wash it. Big toilet humor on this one but basically, its about Scottish laddies addicted to heroin and the struggle to survive day by day with or without the drugs. There's a little kitten in this movie too. I think the little kitten should be slowly baked and garnished with parsley and roasted yellow fin potatoes.



Hidalgo
Viggo Mortensen

Another story about a little horse that could. And this time, this little horse joined a race set in the middle east. The movie kicked off slowly but it picked up pace and I love the chemistry between Frank Hopkins (Mortensen) and his little painted horse, a mustang named Hidalgo. I love the movie, I love the adventure, I love the slight humor and the beautiful desert scenes although it reminded me too much of Lawrence of Arabia. This movie has cats too----big, ferocious kitties stuffed with lemon grass, onions, garlic and othe herbs and spices then skewered with long bamboo poles and slow roasted on open coals.

Ok I just seen "Hellboy" on dvd and now I wonder why I didnt go see it on the theaters.While its not a great movie it does however entertain you a lot more than i thought it would.It does not go over the top like most of the blockbuster flops...(should I mention that diaster flop?The day after tommorrow?or whatever its called?)Its a good entertaining fun movie.Of course I love watching any movie with Ron Perlman in it.

Tatay I agree...HELLBOY is not a great film, its not boring like u said it does entertain. ;D

Tarantada I saw all that movies. The girl next door, erotic, story of a HS boy that needed this scholarship badly to be in college and he screwed it up cause he met this gurl (porn star).

lol...Jeniffer Garner as a cutie pie in that film, we have exactly the same thought about the movie.  ;)

Hernando, Walking Tall is a good action somehow funny too. I forgot the name of the lead actress but she is in the BIRDS OF PREY series.

=================================

I recently watched I Robot....very good movie indeed. Wow, Will Smith really have a nice body...yummy...his chest and shoulder made me drool ahihihi ;D....I recommend this movie....see the movie so u can meet SONY ;D

Catwoman,

I went to see it last night as I got free tickets to the press show. It doesn't go on general release here in Ireland until August 12th. All I can say is what a waste of two hours. Slow moving story, thin plot, hammy acting and bad CGI.

Only positives from it. As a guy, Halle Berry in skin thight leather.. mmmm.. and I never knew basketball could be so sexy...

Last Sunday was great cuz it was John Wayne day on the American Movie Channel. I watched Eldorado a good western with Robert Mitchum and James Cain in it. I watched The Green Berets with Sulu from Star Trek in it. Sulu gets killed bout half way through the movie though. The Shootest was on. That was John Waynes last film before he died of lung cancer. It had Ron Howard, James Stewart, and of course the always bad cowboy Richard Boone. After that I watched what I think was the dukes best western "Red River". The red river is what seperates Texas from Oklahoma so it had some history in it. The last movie i watched was his best film of all called "In Harms Way" with Kirk Douglas in it. It was a very entertaining WW2 movie during the United States conflict in the Pacific. John Wayne is one of Americas most treasured actors. He was number one at the box office for a lot of years and he stared in a ton of movies and most of them were box office hits. Last sunday was a lay down on the couch and watch John Wayne all day for me. lol

AVP baby!Despite what those idiotic critics said I went to see the movie not once but twice!and in the same night.The movie is good,not great but good.It reminded me a lot of some of the stories I have read in Dark Horse Comics  http://www.darkhorse.com/  .Those were really well written and well drawn stories which I think the director drew a lot of his inspiration from.He was pretty much faithful to the previous movies and I thought he did good merging the two together.Of course you are gonna have idiots out the trying to pick the movie apart because they either dont get it or have never seen it.I highly recommend seeing this movie especially when you get to see.....opps...almost gave it away.Well anyways,go see it.Its worth your time and money.

My Bestfriend's Wedding
Julia Roberts, Cameron Diaz,  Rupert Everett, Dermot Mulroney

I've seen this movie a hundred times and although its not my favorite film  (Notting Hill is) I still enjoy the scenes especially with the wonderfully flamboyant, Rupert Everett. I still wish I have a gay bestfriend.

Harry Potter: Chamber of Secrets
Alan Rickman, Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson

Wonderful, wonderful British Accent. I just marvel at JK Rowling's creativity and imagination. Wow. Just to have a glimpse of her creativity would suffice for me. Although I have never read her books, and probably never will, I am satisfied with watching the movie. As my swee pea would say, "I'll never read the book because I'm very visual. The movie does the imagery for me." He has a point there. Oh I wish there are more Alan Rickman films. He's absolutely marvy!

The Prince and Me
Julia Stiles, Luke Malby

Oh this movie had me twittering like a teener. I hate to admit it but I think I'm romantic and I like how this movie turned out. I think Luke Malby is yummy and I know its because of his European looks that get my panties in wad. I like the film, its essentially a modern day fairy tale. Julia Stiles play a pre-med student from Wisconsin and Luke Malby plays the crowned prince of Holland. European aristocracy meets American no-nonsense and we have romance!

Taking Lives
Angelina Jolie, Ethan Hawke, Oliver Martinez

Angelina Jolie plays Illeana Scott, an FBI profiler, who was sent to Canada to profile a serial killer and help in his capture. While expounding more on this review would only give away the surprises, I can only say that this movie's attempts to surprise its audience is quite mediocre. Halfway through the movie, I knew who done it. Special treat for the guys: Angelina Jolie has a hot scene with Ethan Hawke and well, she was bare breasted throughout.

There is something that I dont like in Angelina Jolie as an actress that I can't quite put a finger on. Its probably because to me, she has this perpetual sneer annd smugness on her face that makes her hardly credible as a protagonist. There's something like a coiled animalistic force inside  her that she just cannot sit on while she acts to save her life.

Well I just rented"Taking Lives" And will watch it in a moment.After seeing "Exorcist:The Beginning" I need to see something good.I cant beleive the critics are still putting down AVP and saying that this movie is better.IT SUCKS!
For one thing...too much use of that damn CGI.I almost wished they have never come out with that crap.Makes most movie companies lazy.Did the original exorcists have CGI?Hell no!The hyenas look so damn fake in this movie it makes Jaws look good.One thing George Lucas preached about (and he should take his own advice)...let the special effects be part of the movie not the movie itself.Grrrr.....The last time I saw a really good scary movie was 'The Ring".Cmon Hollywood!Stop being lazy.CGI is a fast and inexpensive way to make movies but sooner or later it will be no different than cartoons.I shudder to think what that Sky captain and the world of tommorrow is gonna be like.Its nothing but actors agaisnt a green screen.Grrrrr! >:( >:( >:(

Chasing Liberty
Mandy Moore, Mark Harmon

Three words: Don't Ever Bother. Fifteen minutes into it and I got enough of spoiled US president's daughter trying to shake off her security force. At this day and age when every American is target for the terrorists? Get real. Shrieking Mandy Moore is not my taste too. I'd rather scratch a blackboard with my nails.

A Night At The Roxbury
Will Ferrel, Chris Kattan, Molly Shannon

I know this movie reeked but to me this film is a brilliant SNL movie extension about two brothers, Steve and Doug Butabi (played by Kattan and Ferrel) whose ambition in life is to own a dance club.  Met with rejection and shove offs at the entrance of some dance clubs, the clueless two shared a loving relationship that is hilariously pathetic and sickening. I love how the scenes were downplayed to the point of being "understated exaggerations" which are sooo downright funny. While irritating to some people, I love this film because I love to laugh and there are plenty here. Molly Shannon rocks. LOL.

Charlize Theron

This movie is good!Damn good.Made me cry for Charlize character in the end.She well deserved this oscar.What I liked about the movie is that it didnt focus on a homosexual relationship which kissass hollywood loves to do,it instead focus on a PERSONS last attempt at love and everything she was willing to do to keep it.I pretty sure most of us could identify with her at some point(although I wont go kill someone).We all have done something stupid in our lives whether knowing better or not and had regrets later.I want everyone to watch this movie and tell me later you are not moved by it. ;)

Lost In Translation...

Staring Bill Murray & Scarlett Johansson. A very good movie. Very simple idea, clean, good script, good acting. They kept this one short...and it payed off. A very good movie. I also think there are alot of social issues intertwined with the two main characters. But I digress...

I do however have one question...

What did Bill Murray say to Scarlett Johansson at the end of the movie? Does anyone know? I turned up the volume the second time I watched it in a feeble attempt to listen in. I thought he said something like...."something something...I will always love you"

Hmmm...I wanna know.

Monster's Ball
Halle Berry, Billy Bob Thornton, Heath Ledger


Halle Berry plays Leticia, whose husband was sentenced to death and Billy Bob Thornton plays a Corrections Officer. They both lived at opposite ends of the pole, Thornton with his racist father and on side of the law while Berry lived in a black community whose ties are on the opposite side of the law and whose house was foreclosed. The only common denominator that they had was Leticia's husband but that wasn't the factor that tied them together.

The characters almost never met until one night, while walking home in a downpour, Berry's son was hit by a car. Left at the scene of the accident, it was Thornton who aided them and brought the boy to the hospital but it was too late. The boy died. Numbed with pain, Berry was brought home by Thornton and through that, their ties were forged.

There is a very heavy sex scene between Berry and Thornton which was rightfully depicted as strong emotional neediness to feel anything but pain when going through personal tragedies. Berry with her husband electrocuted in prison and the sudden death of
her son, and Thornton, whose son committed suicide right in front of him during a family spat.

The mood of the story was dark and heavy filled with misery and pain but the message was clear. When tragedies struck, the burden of pain dissipates when shared. Berry and Thornton met at the right time, when they needed each other most.

This is one film with a simple screenplay but exceptional acting abilities, hence, very unforgettable and rightfully deserving of the Best Actress Award for Berry.

Dream For An Insomniac
Ione Skye, Jennifer Aniston

This charming little film rose quickly to the top of my Top 10 List of favorite movies with its dazzling display of love wisdom and for glorifying Sinatra. Any movie that refers to Sinatra couldnt be all that bad.

Ione Sky is Frankie, an actress who has never slept more than 8 hours since she was 6 years old, when her parents tragically died. She was raised by her Uncle who owns "Blue Eyes Cafe" (in reverence to Sinatra) where she works when she wanted to. Frankie never "trusts a guy who doesn't have eyes like Sinatra" and when she met David, a fledgeling writer, sparks flew.

David, who has difficulty in starting a book, made a deal with Frankie that he can make her sleep, while in turn, Frankie will help him find his inspiration to write. The attraction between the two was very apparent until David's girlfriend since highschool showed up. Frankie was turn into confusion and David, who apparently has lost all passion for his relationship, inadvertently revealed to Frankie that he can't leave his girlfriend as she's a good woman and he can't hurt her.

With that, Frankie told David: Anything less than mad, passionate, extraordinary love is a complete waste of time.

You will have to watch this film to see whether David chose passion or safety.

May, what you got to remember with Shyamalan is not everything is what is seems. I though Signs was a good movie too. I agree the Sixth Sense is probably his best work, even after seen the village. Signs wasn't a movie about crop circles or Aliens, it was a movie about faith and how we question it so it was a lot deeper than what you see on the screen. I really enjoyed the village, but like I said it's not for everyone and not everyone will get it.

Yes, you are right, Adrian. Shyamalan's films shouldn't be taken at face value. I guess I was wrong in comparing Signs with Close Encounters of the Third Kind---not because its the same alien movie but because I thought that Shyamalan was trying to pull a Spielberg. Building up the suspense and then exploding near the end. Sadly, with Signs, the explosion becamed wilted because the suspense was long over drawn. There were definitely some boring scenes---too long and too "wordy".

Goodfellas
Love the story. Brilliant Robert DeNiro as always.

Big Fish
A story within a story within a story. Love the chinese puppet who spoke  tagalog. LOL.

Sylvia
Beautiful, haunting biography of Sylvia Plath, the poet and author of The Bell Jar.

Hope Springs
Colin Firth. English accent. Need I say more?

Moonstruck
Feel good movie with luminous Cher and young Nicolas Cage.

The  Stepford Wives
Funny one-liners and witty comebacks. My swee pea and I couldnt stop laughing.

Connie and Carla
Showtunes! Toni Collette looked like an authentic drag queen.

The Lizzie  MacGuire Movie
I like Hillary Duff's smile. Its very pretty. I like her better than Mandy Moore though.

Ella the Enchanted
I love the "Somebody to Love" scene. Freddie Mercury would have had  his panties in a wad after a totally huge royal snit if he has seen it though.

Death Becomes Her
Bruce Willis, Goldie Hawn, Meryl Streep, Isabella Rossellini

This little dark comedy from the late 90s takes a funny look at immortality.

Starsky and Hutch
Owen Wilson, Ben Stiller

Ben Stiller takes a jab at how ridiculous the 70s cop shows were but the joke fell apart halfway through the movie. I never saw any Starsky and Hutch episode when I was a kid. After watching the movie, I guess I didnt miss anything.

Flawless
Robert DeNiro, Philip Seymour Hoffman

I saw this film a long time ago but when I saw a dvd on sale, I bought it. This is my mostest favoritest film of Philip Seymour Hoffman and I think he is really brilliant in this movie.

DeNiro plays a homophobic cop who shared the same building apartment with Hoffman who plays a drag queen. You'd thought they'd never get along until DeNiro suffered a stroke and was advised to take singing lessons to improve his speech. After a long struggle, he finally went to Hoffman.

You dont see much of Hoffman in the movies. Usually he is just content to play supporting role but wow! He really becomes the character he plays. As a drag queen he is so convincing and fascinating, as a snotty annoying rich kid in Talented Mr. Ripley, he is brilliant! I hope he gets more plum roles.

Robert DeNiro is always brilliant, Scott. While playing a stroke patient is not easy, I thought he was just okay here. My best DeNiro movies are The Godfather series and of course, as evil personified, Cape Fear. However, Hoffman is brilliant in Flawless---he has totally honed his talent as a very versatile actor.

Well May, I will defer to the expert; what do I know, I only work in the industry ;D  -- kidding.  I still think, this performance was one of his best, but I've never seen the Godfather series yet...

I'm hardly an expert, Scottie.  :P I just know what I like. Yup, you should watch The Godfather series. DeNiro is in 1 & 2. Save the 3rd one if you want to see more of the Corleone family saga. The Godfather is one of the best movies in the history of Cinema and one of the best books ever written this century.

I think Robert DiNero's best films were Taxi Driver(You talking to me?) and The Deer Hunter. He is always a good gangster so i dont include those movies.

Al Pachino- And Justice For All, Serpico, and Scent of a Woman.(I'm in the dark here!)

Christopher Walkin- The Deer Hunter

Marlon Brando- A Steetcar named Desire(Stellaaaaaaa!, Stelllaaaaaaaa!) and the western One Eyed Jacks, and of course On the Waterfront - in which he said "I could of been somebody, I coulda been a contender, instead of just a bum"

Clint Eastwood-Dirty Harry, High Plains Drifter, and The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

Uma Thurman-Pulp Fiction, and Kill Bill movies

The Deer Hunter.
This is not a movie for the weak stomach. Its a very dramatic, violent and sad movie. A good story about 3 good friends who all go to fight in Vietnam and how it changes their lives forever. Very good cast. Christopher Walkin won an oscar. Robert DeNiro, John Savage, and Meryl Strep.

I've seen The Deer Hunter and yes, I do agree its haunting and disturbing. However, I can barely recall DeNiro was ever in it. All I can remember is Christopher Walken in his best role ever. I love the theme too --Cavatina. This film is good!

I've read somewhere that the difference between two great actors, Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro is that DeNiro becomes the character he plays, he is so ingrained with the role you forget he is DeNiro. But with Al Pacino, the character becomes him. The character gets a dash of that Pacino flair we all love so well---flamboyantly discreet and coiled. LOL.

21 Grams
Sean Penn, Benicio del Torro, Naomi Watts

This is probably one of the best movies I've seen this year. Take a simple story, present it artistically, put one of the powerhouses in Hollywood namely Sean Penn and add Benicio del Torro and we have arrived.

Benicio del Torro plays an ex-con, father of two turned christian and Sean Penn, plays a character locked in a childless, loveless marriage who is waiting for a heart donor. The person that tied them together was Naomi Watts.

The movie is reminiscent of Quentin Tarantino's cut and paste style of presenting a story minus the Tarantino touch of Tarantino's choice of music. While Benicio's story moves forward step by step, Sean Penn's story starts at the end and moves backward to the very beginning until the two characters' connection is presented about 2/3 way into the movie.

The reason why I love this movie because there are just no words I can think of regarding how brilliantly talented Sean Penn is. He is really a studied art of perfection in his craft and I am glad to admit that I have 3 of his films on DVD: I Am Sam (wonderful tribute to Beatles), Mystic River (for which he won an Oscar Best Actor) and 21 Grams. Benicio del Torro is nothing to pass up too. He plays a very convincing man who felt betrayed by his faith and struggled mightily with guilt.

At first I thought 21 grams alluded to cocaine, hence I put off watching it for a long time after the purchase. I was thinking, "Great! Another drug movie like Traffic.But I bought it anyway because I have faith in Sean Penn. After watching it, I realized I was wrong. This is not just another drug movie. Its a brilliant screenplay of connecting lives. 21 grams alludes to the amount of weight an individual loses when he dies. 21 grams of life, memories and experiences.Just 21 grams of existence, faith and soul.  

Excellent movie!

May DeNiro got top billing in that movie. He was the main character. He was the leader of the 3. Christopher Walkin won the oscar for best supporting actor. It also won best picture

I know that DeNiro was in the movie Joel. I know that the movie won Best Picture. I'm just telling you that I can barely remember DeNiro in that film. That Christopher Walken's role was more memorable to me. Esp with those russian roulette scenes in Vietnam.

Resident Evil:Apocalypse


I loved the game when it first came out.I even liked the sequel.and the next one after that.But like with all sequels.The thrill fades.It didnt take that long for the thrill of the movie to fade.The first one wasnt all that and the sequel is less than that even.There seems to be this certain fad of all CGI and no story.Even worse,the action moves so fast,it leaves one with the feeling of vertigo.I didnt know what was going on until the action stopped.This is one of those wait til it comes out on dvd.Another irritating thing is that I heard a 4 year child in the theaters crying.There is a reason for ratings.To separate entertainment from the child to the adult.Pretty soon we are all gonna be stuck with cutesy movies rated "G" because somebody out there is going to say that Hollywood is irresponsible by influencing our children to these types of movies.

I almost feel asleep watching this movie.So did the 8 year next to me.He was fidgeting and squirming the whole time during the last half of the movie.When I asked him how he like the movie he didnt want to admit that it was boring him.He sort of half heartenly said that he liked it.I was not impressed by it at all.Now to be fair their was some moments in the film that made me laugh.But only a few.Some of these jokes I just know our children would not get.Also the underlying homosexual reference made me wanna barf.Course it clinched it all with our wannabe politically correct so fake im dying christine aguilera.This movie may get a few grins but I wouldnt put it on the christmas wish list.Its just dying to be ripped.

The Breakfast Club
Molly Ringwald, Judd Nelson, Anthony Michael Hall, Ally Sheedy, Emilio Estevez, Paul Gleason


This may not be the best movie ever made but this has been my all time favorite throughout the years. Directed and produced by John Hughes, the famous song by Simple Minds (Don't You) Forget About Me has become its signature song that almost always, when I hear it being played, I remember this movie.

Set in Shermer Highschool in Illinois, the movie is about the coming together of 5 different representatives from different highschool strata on a Saturday, for Detention. Paul Gleason plays the teacher who may have not been too sensitive about teenage angst and hence, became the symbol of the oppressor. Ringwald  plays the rich Prom Princess, Nelson plays the criminal wannabe, Hall plays the smart nerd, Estevez plays the sports jock and Sheedy plays the gothic basketcase chick.

The chemistry between all characters is all apparent, the script is wonderfully written that it captures the audience from beginning to end. It has a dance montage and very funny but sometimes true to life lines. I guess my favorite scene was when Judd Nelson asked Paul Gleason tauntingly:"Does Barry Manilow know that your raid his closet?"

I love this movie a lot and I wish I could own this on DVD.

Other Movies I watched But Dont Have the Energy to Write a Review:

Jan Dara - coming of age Thai film

Basic Instinct - Uncut version. Never saw this movie as I was a med student back then when this came out. Had to see to know what the hoopla was all about....whoa!

Man On Fire - had fun watching this is with my cousin. We were betting if the kid was alive. He won. Slow start though---sorta like building the rapport between Denzel Washington and Dakota Fanning.

Chris Rock: Bigger and Blacker - Oooooooo funny, funny and funny.

Whole 9 Yards - funny movie. Love Matthew Perry.

Enough - J Lo is very likeable here and the child actress who played her daughter is such a very cute kid.

Ladykillers
Tom Hanks

I didn't give the concentration that this movie rightfully needed and even though I was diverted, there were lots of laugh out loud scenes that I really enjoyed.

Ellen Degeneres: In The Beginning

Quite funny!

Ellen Degeneres: Here and Now

OMG. This is one uproarious presentation. I was grinning the whole time. Ellen is brilliant and there are lots of howling with laughter moments. Her delivery, timing, jokes are perfect and well written. I would be so happy if I own this on dvd.

Well the weekend b4 last I saw Friday Night Lights with Billy Bob Thorton. This movie did not disapoint me. Although the book was better the movie was very good as well. It was the best movie on sports I have ever seen. It shows you the pressures that are put on lots of high school football programs. I only had one problem with this movie and it was the way it was shot in some scenes. Lots of this movie was shot the way an action scene is shot. Like in the first 15 minutes of Saving Private Ryan. But in the movie Friday Night Lights they would move the camera around a lot during just dialog scenes. It was kinda agrivating for me. I dont like the camera to move around a lot during the scenes when people are just talking. It takes a lot away from the characters and thier performence. It just dont seem to be a good way of shooting a scene to me. If there is lots of action going on thats cool to shoot it that way. In Friday Night Lights they did this when there was just a few characters talking. But its still a very good movie. Billy Bob as always gives performs outstanding.

This past weekend I got my high definition satellite service and dish set up. So I wathced lots of movies in high definition Saturday and Sunday.

Everything You Wanted To Know About Sex and More- this is an old Woody Allen Movie. It has Tony Randal and Burt Reynolds in it. When I first saw this movie way back I thought it was funny, but now its just kinda stupid. Except for the last story in it.

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly- starring Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, and one of my favorite charcter actors Eli Wallach. Eli is a very good actor. This is a western and watching it in High Def was awesome. It was reproduced in high def so it wasnt as good as the new movies that are out there today, but it was still a very clear picture.

Charlies Angels Full Throtle- I hated this movie. It was on HBO high def channel. But I could count the freckels on Lucy Lui's face. You cant do this on digital or regular tv. lol

I have a monster channel that all the show is high def monster movies. Its pretty cool. I watch the Bride of Frankenstien. I think it was Frankenstein day on saturday cuz thats all they showed was Frankenstien movies all day.

The best thing with the best picture on High Def has got to be the live sports. I watched a lot of football and baseball and the picture was outstanding. You can see the sweat dripping off the players. Its like you are there live in person watching the game.  ;D

Envy
Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Rachel Wiesz

Eye-candy. Not really funny. Just the usual Jack Black flair and pinched expression of Ben Stiller about to crap a big load.

Love Actually
Hugh Grant, Colin Firth, Emma  Thompson, Laura Linney, Liam Neeson, Kiera Knightley, Alan Rickman, Billy  Bob Thornton

Story  about 8 different relationships set in London weeks before Christmas. I love this film! It's my feel-good  movie for Christmas.

Harry Potter: Prisoner of Azkaban
Daniel  Radcliffe,  Emma Thompson,  Rupert Grint, Emma Watson

I think this was the best HP among the series.

I read the script but that appears to be the first version of it ever writen, because the finished flick has alot of things that either has changed or was added in on site.

The final exchange between Bob & Charlotte was nothing like it was in the script version. They embrace...and Bob mumbles into Charlotte's ear something only loud enough for her to hear. It was those few words that left me wondering. And to this day I have no idea what those words were.

Very good movie, I like the plot specially Jason Statham as a villain, he's always been effective in his role, I liked him in the ITALIAN JOB. I heard there will be an Italian JOB II in the year 2006.

Ethan Hawke, Julie Delpy

I rented this movie at the insistence of my swee pea who wove tales of how wonderful this movie was. My deepest apologies, hun...I found this movie quite boring and I'm sorry if I'm not intellectual enough to grasp the depth of this so-called wonderful screenplay. However, I'd still watch Before Sunset, as I heard its actually livelier than this one. I'd give anything to see Paris with you.

I rented this movie because the guy on the cover was very cute. I still stand by my judgment that the guy (Jesse Bradford) was cute.  The movie wasn't.

What an Incredible movie!(Yes pun intended).This movie is real good.Smart screenplay,doesnt insult yours or childrens intelligence and is completely original.It doesnt bother to steal or borrow jokes or scenarios from other movies which has become the genre of late.It was quite refreshing.Of course pixar has always been that way.I love holly hunters voice.It has a distinct characterization to it that no other actress has.You know its her when you hear it.I dont know who done the voice of the asian seamtress in the movie but she was downright hilarious.This movie has a good story and it its presented in a most wonderful way.

The League of Extra Ordinary Gentlemen - Sean Connery, Shane West, Stuart Townsend

The movie is not that good but it is not that bad either. It entertains and somehow there is a story. Nice Plot. Beside Sean Connery is in the movie. He was a great actor.

Underworld - Scott Speedman, Kate Beckinsale

First movie of Scott Speedman that I saw, I always like him in Felicity as his character Ben. Well the movie is good but I don't like the ending. It mostly about the werewolf and the vampire. Protecting the vampire specie so they don't want mixed species like werewolfs and vampires. Its a combination of love story and action as well. Kate Beckensale outfit rocks.

Dawn of the dead - Sarah Polly

The Incredibles -Finally, I had a chance to watch the movie this weekend. Its a really good film. Very orginal story. Not only for kids but also for adults. Like tatay wabbit said the movie was presented in a very wonderful way.

TROY - Brad Pitt, Eric Bana, Orlando Bloom

I never been a fan of Brad Pitt but I will give him a perfect score in his portrayal as Achilles in this film. I'm so amaze with the large production of this film. I also admired, Eric Bana as Hector the prince of Troy, Well his movie THE HULK really sux, Eric Bana's performance in this film is really awesome. Orlando Bloom as Paris, he's a real coward in this movie, funny cause his been a good figther in THE LORD OF THE RING. The characters really gave life to the story. Now I need to review my greek mythology.

The Return of the Jeda

I think the last time I saw this film was 10 years ago, I'm still in the 4th grade. So happened that my cousin lend me a copy SPECIAL EDITION. Wow Harisson Ford was still young in this movie. My favorite  characters are the EWOKS, they are really hella cute.

Jennifer 8 - Andy Garcia, Uma Thurman

The movie is good. Andy Garcia is really hot, his complexion OMG . Well, the movie is good thats all, especially the interrogation between John Malkovich and Andy Garcia. Uma played good in her blind woman role.

Before Sunset
Ethan Hawke, Julie Delpy

This movie is so much better than its predecessor, Before Sunrise. Celine and Jesse met again after 9 years in Paris, older and wiser. I was bored with Before Sunrise and I never thought I'd enjoy Before Sunset but I was in for a surprise. Strictly "conversation" with no action, camera tricks or any dazzling cinematography, I was able to appreciate the acting skills of Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke. Every nuances of expression and the fluidity of their conversation was so fascinating to look at. Clearly chemistry and magic were present in this film that I couldnt appreciate in Before Sunrise. I certainly could identify with the characters and their concern about life, marriage, career which had been philosphically expressed.

The Sound of Music
Julie Andrews, Christopher Plummer

A favorite for all time, I had the chance to watch it again together with my friend, Mimi's kids Lorraine and Minette. I loved watching the kids enjoying the songs and getting all bug-eyed.

Cabaret
Michael York, Joel Grey, Liza Minnelli

I saw this film when I was a kid and couldn't remember anything except that I was bored. I watched it again over the weekend and I can't get enough of how good this movie was. Set in Germany in 1930's, when Hitler was on the rise and the Jews were beginning to be persecuted, Cabaret presented a lurid way of life for entertainers such as slightly delusional Sally Bowles (Minnelli) and Joel Grey and how easily money made their world go round. Entered Michael York as a clean-scrubbed, steadfast, English language tutor for the affluent, he was easily drawn to the joie de vivre of Sally. In the end, his love was not enough for Sally's dream of becoming an actress.

The Gods Must Be Crazy
N!xau

I have seen this movie when I was a kid and enjoyed it very much. I'm glad I watched it again because it offered a refreshing view of comedy without the spectacular cinematography. Pure creativity and fun starring that lovable African bushman, N!xau who was puzzled why this tribe was given something [a coca-cola bottle thrown by pilot] that only created anger, envy and dissension.

A favorite for all time, I had the chance to watch it again together with my friend, Mimi's kids Lorraine and Minette. I loved watching the kids enjoying the songs and getting all bug-eyed.


Same here!

I don't remember how many times I watched this movie. Do- a deer a female deer re- a drop of golden sun mi-the name I called myself....ahihihi... ;D

I got mp3s collection of this movie.... ;D

Laws Of Attraction
Julianne Moore,  Pierce Brosnan

A delightful rom-com about opposing counsels who are attracted to each other no matter how they try to argue their way out of falling into each other's arms. Pretty charming, really.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre- This movie stink. Not even scary, to think that i rented this movie to be scared. Bad movie.

The Manhanttan Project - Old film. Starring Cynthia Nixon aka Miranda in SEX and The city. Not bad.

Basic - Awesome. I always like military conspiracy film. Perfect score for this film. Starring John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson.

The Story of US - Bruce Willis, Michelle Pfeiffer

Can a marriage survive 15 years of marriage?

People change over time, you've got to expect that. The only way a relationship works is if people grow and change together.

Lots of lesson to learn if you are a married person. Willis and Pfeiffer great combination,  both are so appealing on the screen. The movie answered the question: YES it can survive.

Big Fish- Ewan Mcgregor, Allan Finney

Most men, they'll tell you a story straight true. It won't be complicated, but it won't be interesting either.


I especially like the last scene of the movie between the father and the son. Touchy.

The day after Tomorrow

I always like a movie that involved science. I like it.

Bridget Jones: Edge of Reason
Renee Zellwegger, Hugh Grant, Colin Firth

Still the same "Bridge," who wore granny pants and butt cheeks the size of 2 bowling balls. Still funny at times but there were none of the romantic shiver that one experienced in the first. Lovely soundtrack though! I just cant get enough of the music.

PS. My, I read you watched "Big Fish" already. Did you notice the tagalog words spoken by the puppet when Ethan Hawke became a soldier and he was assigned to China and met the siamese ladies?

Hero
Jet Li, Maggie Cheung, Zhang Ziyi

Think of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon but a step further. Stop. Because if anything, the flying figures and the drums are the only things that resonate from CTHD. Hero is a step further in that it is more philosophical, touching and breathtakingly beautiful with the colors of china. The director, Zhang Yimou was also fond of using contrasts. The calm and serenity of rain served as the background of furious sword play, and there's a scene where the still water was sliced by swords.

Jet Li is Nameless, an assasin on a mission to kill the King of Qin, one of the 7 provinces in China. But in order to kill the king, he had to be within 10 paces of him as the lived within impenetrable rules. By some clever ruse, Nameless was able to do so, in a RASHOMON-esque way  of telling his tale.  

I'm glad I own this on DVD so I can watch it over and over again. Next stop The House of Flying Daggers.

Girl With A Pearl Earring
Colin Firth, Scarlett Johansson

Johansson is Griet, the girl who inspired the famous Dutch painter, Johannes Vermeer, played by Firth. She worked as a maid for the Vermeer household, amidst the brooding master, the jealous wife, the scheming mother in law, and the spiteful daughter, Cornelia. The colorful personas of each character made up for the drab Holland in the 1600's. Griet, showing an extraordinary understanding for her master's craft, became the center of his possessive wife's jealousy. It's a very simple story but interesting to note how painters mixed their colors before tubes were made available to them. I like Johansson in this role. She's one of those actresses who becomes the character to the very core. Believable in her craft and can really play wide-eyed innocence that escapes a few.

Annie Hall
Woody Allen, Diane Keaton

This has gotta be one of the best Woody Allen movie I've ever seen. I admit I am a huge fan of Woody Allen, with his neurosis and piquant one-liners, but I loved how this romance between Keaton and Allen evolved and fizzled out. Their chemistry was so believable! There were several laugh out loud moments but the poignancy that prevailed was what that got to me.

Funniest line: I don't want to move to a city where the only cultural advantage is being able to make a right turn on a red light.


Bedazzled
Brendan Fraser, Elizabeth Hurley

I am not really a fan of Brendan Fraser but this is one movie of his that I really enjoy and keep watching over and over again. I just love how wicked Liz Hurley was. Its a story about a nerdy guy who would do anything, including giving his soul to the devil, to be with the girl he loves. In comes Liz Hurley as the gorgeous Devil who was just as eager to give Elliot (Fraser) whatever he wished for, of course, with an outrageously funny catch!

Funny Moment:
Elliot: My SOUL?! You want me to give you my SOUL?!
The Devil: What are you, James Brown?

Taxi Driver
Robert DeNiro, Jodie Foster, Cybil Shepherd, Harvey Kietel, Al Brooks

A landmark in the 70s cinematic history, Taxi Driver heralded Robert DeNiro's brilliant talent as well  as Martin Scorcese's genius and together the two made a phenomenal pair. DeNiro plays a taxi driver, who,  while driving driving the streets of  New York at night, slowly disintigrated, taking upon himself to "save NYC and rid of it the scums," and tried to  be a savior to an underaged  prostitute named Iris, played by Jodie Foster.

Tidbits:
Aside from watching DeNiro acting brilliantly, this is probably the only movie which showcased the actor in a mohawk. There  was a scene so reminiscent of Cape Fear but  actually, if I saw Taxi Driver first, I'd  think there was a scene in Cape Fear so reminiscent of Taxi Driver and that was DeNiro working out.

Also, watch out for  Martin Scorcese  appearing in a  scene as one of the taxi passengers.

Famous Line, mimicked the world over:
You talkin' to me?
You talkin' to me?

I've seen this long time ago also that i can hardly remember the whole story but i remember it was a good movie.Maybe i'd check it again.


I've finaly found a chance to get a copy of DVD of the movie Dragon-the Bruce Lee history.A brilliant movie and one of my favorites.I like it's soundtrack by Randy Edelman which also has been used for other movie trailers.
I feel Jason Scott Lee gave an amazing performance as Bruce Lee although he is still quite slow if you compare to real Bruce Lee's moves.

Fahrenheit 9/11
by Michael Moore

From IMDB: Michael Moore's view on what happened to the United States after September 11; and how the Bush Administration allegedly used the tragic event to push forward its agenda for unjust wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Favorite Tidbit: The child-like, mischievous grin Michael Moore had while holding Dubya's hand in the dvd menu.

The Incredibles
Craig T. Nelson, Holly Hunter, Samuel L. Jackson

I think this will be a strong contender for the Oscar's full length animation film against Shrek 2.

Favorite Character: The boy on a trike on the driveway, always observing...

Crossroads with Ralph Macheo

I saw this movie today. I actually saw it b4 a long time ago. This is a real good movie about a kid attending Julliard. Julliard is a popular school for the arts in NYC. Anyway, Ralph Macheo loves blues music and hooks up with an old blues man. They travel down to mississippi and try to get the old mans soul back from the devil. The old man sold his soul to the devil a long time ago. The story ties into the folklore legend of the great blues man Robert Johnson. Great Movie and Good music as well. I got the soundtrack on cd and still listen to it occassionally.

Irreversible
~Monica Bellucci,Vincent Cassel,,Albert Dupontel

The camera made me dizzy in the beginning of the film. Then again, how could they film that depraved hole? I've watched this film a few times,because i found it disturbing the first time i watched it and everytime it ends, i feel empty and sad... it's definitely one of the saddest, darkest films i've ever seen. The ending is one of the most evil things I have ever seen, mostly because it was disguised as being "happy" but you know that's not the way things will turn out. I sometimes think of this as being an "Anti-Revenge" film to a certain extent, she still gets raped and nothing will ever change that and the damage is all "irreversible".Nonetheless,it's a pretty good movie although the rape scene itself was almost too much for me.

I was seriously disturbed for few days after watching it.

Everlyn Sampi, Tianna Sansbury, Kenneth Branagh, Jason Clarke, David Gulpilil
Directed by: Phillip Noyce  


In my mornings when I wake up and cannot go back to sleep I have watched this movie twice now.Its an inspiring movie of the human spirit and its fierce determination to continue on.

Set in 1931 Australia, after being abducted from their homes by the government to be trained as domestic staff for a white family, three Aboriginal girls escape from their captors and begin the long walk home across the Outback, following the rabbit-proof fence.

Its showing now on Starz.Spend some time and watch it.It might anger you or sadden you or make you happy.I know I felt all three of these emotions while watching it.

Everytime I watch this movie I found out something different. I have watched it about a zillion times. I was watching the scene where John Travolta and Uma Thurman were at the restaraunt called Jack Rabbit Sams and their waiter dressed up like Buddy Holy was Steve Buscemi. Anyway this moive has one of the best casts I have ever seen. This was actually a low budget movie with lots of top actors and actresses from hollywood in it. They liked the script so much they took an large paycut than what they would normally take to do a movie. Its a movie with a bunch of different stories in it that all tie into together. Also its hard to figure out what year it is in the film. 1970, 1980, 1990 who the hell knows because QT takes all the aspects of these years and makes one hell of a good movie.

The 10th Kingdom

I watched this before but couldn't remember the story anymore so i tried to recall it by watching it for the second time.
Personally, i found it a bit too childish, though it had great potential. If anyone has read The Enchanted Forest trilogy by Patricia C. Wrede, it's a lot like that. I mean, it could have been awesome, the whole 'magical strings' in the forest idea was great.

I know that it's a good children's movie, even if it did have some blood in it, but i just found it kind of a shame that they made a movie like that into something so childish. However, there were some really awesome parts,like the trolls chanting along to 'night fever' in the boat, or the same trolls who say all these stupid but hilarious things was good. At the beginning they annoyed me because they were too infantile, but it definitely got better towards the end.I really liked the whole mirror idea and how they were the roots of the queen's power. The idea of making her the mother was so random, though. I found it funnier than anything else that she ended up being virginia's mom.Also, I liked wolf. He was the coolest character in the movie.I liked the way he acted.I wonder if he's capable of playing a more serious character.

Tim Burton-esque. It was okay...there were several laugh out loud moments especially with the toddler, Sunny. He liked it though but I guess for someone who has been cooped up in the ICU, anything is funny. I so know the feeling. Loved the visual concept of the whole thing. Carrey as Count Olaf was over the top but not ridiculous. Loved the antics of the goddess as the grammar-obsessed Aunt Josephine.

Sideways
Paul Giamatti, Thomas Hayden Church

Funny, funny, funny. But this movie is not for you if you are looking for slapstick comedy to be able to laugh. The humor was subtle and all too realistic. There were several laugh out moments, too and well, the screenplay was absolutely brilliant. The panning of camera and the long stretches of road with music in the background was quite reminiscent of 70s tv/movies and there was one scene that for awhile I thought I was watching a 70s film. But it added to the magic of the whole movie.

Paul Giamatti plays Myles,  a Pinot-noire enthusiast, an english teacher for kids and a published author wanna be. Thomas Hayden Church plays Jack, an altar-bound, washed up actor, who went with Myles to the wine counties in California, intent on getting laid because it was his last chance at freedom.

Along the way, these two middle aged guys encountered several "set-backs" (to put it mildly) that you tend to look at these two with such bemusement. They also met Maya (Virginia Fabulous Madsen) and Stephanie (Sandra Oh) and well...it was fun.

Favorite Line
Maya:I love how wine continues to evolve, how every time I open a bottle its going to taste different than if I had opened it on any other day. Because a bottle of wine is actually alive - it's constantly evolving and gaining complexity. That is, until it peaks - like your '61 - and begins its stead, inevitable decline. And it tastes so f**king good.

Constantine (2005)
Keanu Reeves


Ive seen it and I like it!Although I am more familiar with this character than most people because of reading comic books in my youth.When I first saw Constantine in the comics it was in the "Swamp Thing" ( DC Comics ).That was when I was introduced to Alan Moore ( League of Extraordinary Gentlemen,From Hell ).I fell in love with this writer.Swamp Thing comics with his writings in it are worth a lot of money these days( and I have a collection of them,heh heh ).Reading his graphic novels is a lot more entertaining than seeing the way Hollywood has destroyed it on film.

Anyways back to Constantine,its funny that they got Keanu to play him in the movie.Dont get me wrong I like Keanu and he was good in that role.Its just...when Constantine first came out in Swamp Thing....he looked like the singer "Sting" from The Police.And was a lot shorter too. :P

Tank Girl
Lori Petty,Ice T,Naomi Watts
http://www.twisted.org.uk/tg/pix/tg2.gif

How in the world they convince Ice T to be in this movie I will never know.Maybe he liked the comic so well that he decided to jump into the nonsense.
Ok Im not downing the movie.I actually like it!Lori Petty plays Tank Girl so well.Shes so funny and actually kinda sexy in it.I especially like the part where she imitates Ali in it.He he.What suprises me is that Naomi Watts (Ring fame) was in the movie also. :o playing Jet Girl.
Its a fun movie and I catch myself (sheepish smile inserted here) watching it all the time.Ya Know...Guilty pleasures and all that.I just know I am gonna need therapy if I continue to observe the nonsense.

The Ring Two (2005)
Naomi Watts,  David Dorfman,  Simon Baker,  Elizabeth Perkins,  Sissy Spacek

Directed by:Hideo Nakata

For those of you unfortunate to read this review first I do apologize for not posting it sooner.This movie is so full of tiresome cliches.I was seriously yawning throughout it.Nothing of this movie is scary.The cheap tricks they try in it does not even make me jump.

I wonder now what "Ringu 2" was like.If I could get a copy of it I would love to see it.Anyone have a copy?

The Ring 2 is a movie worth waiting for on TNT,TBS or SciFi cable channels.Other than that save your money.

RUSSEL CROW
MASTER and COMMANDER
The far side of the world

When "Lucky" Jack Aubrey's (Russel Crow) ship is suddenly attacked by a superior enemy,despite heavy damage to the ship and much of his crew injured,Aubrey sets sail is a high-stakes exhilarating chase to intercept and capture their foe.It's a mission that can decide the fate of a nation or destroy him and his crew.

It's a great movie.It's a spectacular action adventure of leadership and courage.I always love Russel Crow's movie (physically,his eyes  ;D) .

KINGDOM OF HEAVEN

I watched this movie last night. I loved it.

I suppose my favorite part is where Orlando Bloom's character receives the knight's oath from his father as his dad is about to die. He reminds him that he needs only do what is right, fight for the people, and speak the truth! I love it. What marching orders!

Over and over, Bloom shirks the dogma of religion and stands up for the true nature of God. When the priest tells Bloom that it would be better to run than to turn and fight, he responds, "You have truly helped me to understand your 'RELIGION'." How rad is that! It's not about the structure or tradition, it's about doing what's right whenever an opportunity presents itself to do so. It's about acknowledging the leading of the Spirit of God himself.

THE INTERPRETER

Kidman stars as African-born U.N. interpreter Silvia Broome, who inadvertently overhears a death threat against an African head of state scheduled to address the United Nation's General Assembly. Realizing she's become a target of the assassins as well, Silvia's desperate to thwart the plot...if only she can survive long enough to get someone to believe her. Sean Penn is Tobin Keller, the federal agent charged with protecting the interpreter, who nonetheless suspects she may not be telling the whole truth. Silvia and Tobin, by nature, see life from different points of view: one, a U.N. interpreter, believes in the power and sanctity of words; the other, a Secret Service agent, believes in reading people based on their behavior, no matter what is said.

I watched KINGDOM OF HEAVEN last night on its first day of showing, which is the best day to watch a film on the big screen since the tape is brand new, the colors brilliant, the sound clear.
It was one of the best movies I've ever seen. Ridley Scott ba naman ang director. Comparable to "Gladiator" and "Braveheart."    
It was the first movie I've seen where Muslims were portrayed as brave and intelligent warriors who also longed for peace. The villains here are the Christian Crusaders who conquered Jerusalem and sparked the conflict with the Muslim armies of Saladin by ambushing and brutally killing Muslim civilians.
The fight scenes are subdued yet devastating. So many interesting characters. I got to watch it again on DVD!

Les Miserables In Concert
Colm Wilkinson, Michael Ball, Lea Salonga

This is the concert version of the musical play adaptation of Victor Hugo's Les Miserables with lyrics by Herebert Kretzmer and music by Claude-Michel Schonberg and Alain Boublil. It was the first time I saw and heard the songs sang on stage with a full orchestra and the characters acting out the scenes. I have to say Les Miserables is one of my favorite musicals of all time. The lyrics of the songs were incredible and the actors had such spectacular voices. I  am partial to Lea Salonga as Eponine as I have always liked her in Miss Saigon but Colm Wilkinson took my breath away when he sang Bring Him Home. I practically had goose bumps all over. Michael Ball as Marius Pontmercy has the most soothing voice that reminded me of Raoul's in  The Phantom of the Opera. All in all the concert was spectacular!

Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith

Starring: Hayden Christensen, Natalie Portman, Ewan McGregor, Ian McDiarmid, Anthony Daniels, Kenny Baker, Frank Oz, Jimmy Smits, Christopher Lee, Samuel L. Jackson, James Earl Jones

Director: George Lucas
Release Date: May 19th, 2005
Studio: 20th Century Fox/LucasFilm


Well I wasnt gonna go see the midnight showing.But I did pass by the cinemas to speak with my friends(who have purchase their tickets 19 days ahead of time and started waiting in line at 12 noon on the 18th of May).After much prodding from them they convince me to join them.I got there at 7pm and waited with them.It was fun waiting.We got to see all the Jedis come out with their store bought or homemade Lightsabers.The local comic book shop set up a desk and passed out free comics,posters and figurines.Plus they are raffling off a chess set in the Star Wars fashion(Drool).

So we get inside.We were the first ones to have our pick of seats.Wonderful!We all choosed the middles of the cinema auditorium so as to take advantage of THX.Yeah baby!
The movie started out as a wonderful rollercoaster(dont worry Im not gonna give it away) but then had a few moments of ridiculous humor.Of course I was groaning at this and felt like that if this is the way it was gonna be,well I might as well go home.

One quarter of the way into the film...the projector breaks down.What a laugh riot!So many SW fans read to burn the place down.They actually called the police for crowd control.Hehe.The manager of the theater was so nervous that his hands shook as he passed out free coupons for us to come back to see it again.We each got 3 tickets.(I passed by twice hehe).They also offer us to stay and at 3 in the morning wherein they would show it again.Well I had it.I felt bad for the manager.Poor guy.

So I just came back from seeing it this afternoon.All I can say is...forgive me for my poor taste of descriptions,but I think you will agree with me when you see it...it....was.....

Fawking Awesome!!!!!!.....

Mmmmm I found to be fantastic yet very depressing,but there are still three episodes coming up and I can't wait to see them to say my final comment about these movie.

But their separate lives are about to collide when each finds out their next target is their own spouse.

I found it to be quite entertaining and well written even if the critics think its a dumb flick with great looking stars.Of course to be fair...I didnt watch all of it since I snuck in to see part of it.:P

Batman Begins
Christian Bale, Liam Neeson, Morgan Freeman, Tom Wilkinson, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Ken Watanabe, Rutger Hauer, Katie Holmes

I'm just glad that a movie of this magnitude didnt have a sucky script unlike Episode III: ROTS. Unlike the previous Batman though,  this was more heavy in the drama  department and well, I think Christian Bale did justice to the Bruce Wayne/Batman  persona. He was really a good choice and if there are anymore Batman movies to come,  I like to see Christian Bale reprise his role----MINUS Katie Holmes. There is something grotesque about Katie that I can't point my finger on ----ohh yeah, its Tom Cruise. I also want to see Morgan Freeman again not  only in any Batman movies but any movies at all. I think he's one classy actor and he definitely delivers.

Riverdance:Live From  New York  City
Jean  Butler,  Colin Dunne, Maria Pages

My all time favorite dance troupe minus Michael Flatley, the Lord of the Dance, with his Feet of Flames.  Still, it seemed surreal to finally see the show version of my music cd that I keep playing over and over again.  The fancy footwork, the lovely music, it was pure energy and very entertaining.

Favorite Scene
A silhouetted Maria Pages against a backdrop of brightly red-orange flames dancing Flamenco to an Andalusian guitar solo, Firedance. Then the stage lit up and Maria Pages, with such limber and at times almost athetoid-like movements, was seen garbed in scarlet dress with full skirt accented by gold and red that seemed like flames licking at her feet everytime she moved. Breath-taking!

A Touch of Spice

Director: Tassos Boulmetis

"Despite his yearnings,life often has its own will."

A Greek visual feast with a lot of drama as the main course and sophisticated humour as a side dish.It is a nostalgic film as much about people's suffering during turbulent political times as delicate Mediterranean cuisines.

It is an outstanding movie,peppered with beautiful scenes that combine a variety of tastes and aromas.

Sky High

A surprisingly commercial success. Will Stronghold, son of parents who have superpowers (Dad has super strength and Mom can fly---and they both save the world), is going to attend Sky High, the school where superheroes go. In that same school, it is determined if the student is going to be a superhero or a sidekick. Will's teen crisis rose from the fact that he didn't know what his superpower was yet (or if he really possessed one) and so he was delegated as a "sidekick" or politically correct, "hero support."

The lesson i've got from the movie is that, the most common, spend the day as if it were your last.  Spend it with someone you love, with openness, may it be happiness or difficulties, you've got to share, no barriers especially if ur past is haunting you.  

A very nice movie and as usual, my husband was laughing at  me, because i'm a sentimental fool, i cried.   He laughed at me when i'm crying because of the scenes i'm watching..he said...i supposed to be enjoying not crying.....oh well.......i can't help it, it makes me human.

This past weekend I saw King Kong and I was not impressed. Typical Peter Jackson movie. Just like all the Lords of the Ring movies. It took too damn long for the story to develop. This was another 3 hour flick and it was over an hour b4 the star of the movie, King Kong, was even introduced. After that its a pretty good moive, but Peter Jackson takes to long to tell the story.

The Chronicles of Narnia, THe Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe:by C.S. Lewis directed by Andrew Adamson
Great special effects.  Magnificent  fantasy story line made for kids yet entertaining for adults.  Four kids travel through a wardrobe closet and find something magical at the other end. There is a quite resemblance to the Lord of the Ring as being a fantasy story yet has lots of moral and family values that we learn from it.

Memoirs of a Geisha

Splendid scenography.  Exotic.  Moving.  Memories of Japan scene rushes back in my senses.

Japanese characters essayed by mostly chinese actors/actresses.  Don't you just love it?! ;D

It can't be avoided that comparisons on which is better, the book or the movie, shall occur.  And the usual result is that the book will always be considered better.  Adapting a novel into a movie is no easy task.  But I'm quite happy with how the movie turned out.

The book focused on a wider aspect of Sayuri's life.  While the movie only scratched the surface.  Makers of the movie decided to focus more on Sayuri's love for the chairman and a geisha's tragic faith--they are not allowed to choose the one they truly love.

For those who have'nt read the book, this is a very good movie.  For those who have...it's not so bad after all.

Time to scout for a nice kimono...hihihi

I agree, Marz, you tend to get a little disappointed with how a story you read in a book turns out in the movies.  Memoirs of a Geisha is a good one, I finished the book last year and I haven't seen the film yet.

Were you able to find a kimono fest? hehe

I saw the movie "Ghost" again the other day and it never failed to move me. Such love and devotion! And I love looking at demi moore's youthful face. Saw her last time in Charlie's Angels, she's still so sexy! She has married a younger man?

Hi wildheart. First off, MissFartyPants=ClumsilyIdiotic, just in case you're wondering. Now let's get down to business  ;D.

What's wrong with Brokeback Mountain? It's a love story. Very unique in its approach. Controversial, hell yeah. I am not fond of seeing controversial films because it somehow influences on how I see it. Anyway, I don't see anything wrong with the film. It was boring at first, my curiosity was tweaked by the "tent scene" (long story, I don't feel like getting into it at 3 in the morning  ;D). I felt sick the first time watching their lips come together, but I gave it a few more minutes until I become comfortable. Because if you truly give the story a chance and look beyond the sexual orientation of the two main characters, you will be amazed at how love blossoms regardless of.

It's a love story. A very moving one at that. It tells of a love that challenges the very meaning of ethics. It defies logic. It's breaking all the 'rules' man.  ;D How can you not find it interesting? Call me a textbook hopeless romantic, but I do enjoy the movie and I'm recommending it for all to see. Gay or straight. It's realistic, not entirely of course. But it happens. Sad, but true. I don't expect any guy to see the movie, heck I asked my boyfriend to watch it and he lives in the South, he had the same reaction as you.

But how can you turn down a love story? I hope I didn't ruffle your feather with my response. (I need to get back to sleep).

What the Bleep Do We Know


Stumbled upon this DVD lying around my Aunt's collection.  It's been in the film circuit since 2 years ago.  This is truly one of the few films that moved my senses to the MAX.  This has stirred, at the very core of me, the possibilities of my own potential.

The film stars Marlee Matlin, and the brilliant minds of scientists (the who's-who of quantum physicists, biologists, neurologists and modern day mystics) interviewed throughout the film.

Matlin is transported (quite like Alice in Wonderland) after stumbling in a rabbit hole, into a some odd place much like inside of our brains, with electrical storms in between nerve cells.

This film is part narrative, documentary, drama, romantic comedy, and scientific treatise.  An animated journey of the science of our inner beings with floating representations of cell-like structures that run our lives.  This movie works!  I highly recommend that you go see this movie!  It's really a life changing experience.

Has anyone seen Three KIngs? I saw that movie today on tv. Its about how the American troops who went through so many odeals while trying to safe the iraq refugees from Saddam's regiment. AS usual in American movies they would always portray themselves to be the good samaritans and that the middle east ppl the evil one.  Of cos scenes like; when one of the women being shot by an iraqi soldier and how children were among those hundreds of prisoners were unashamedly portrayed in the movie.  Nevertheless the only credit I should give to the american movie industry is the good selection of good looking heroes cast in there.  That includes George clooney And oh yeah Mark Wahlberg ooooooolala his sexy eyes captures my attention and yes i was mesmerized by his 'sexy' look. I"m Mark Mark Mark all the way..... [smiley=icon_super.gif] [smiley=icon_worship.gif] [smiley=iloveyou.gif]

That movie 3 kings was actually a remake of a movie made in the late 1960s called Kelly's Heros...starring Clint Eastwood, Don Rickels, and Telly Salavas. Only difference is 3 Kings was during the Gulf war called Desert Storm and Kelly's Heros was set in World War 2. They both had the same plot...american troops trying to  cash in on money or gold that was in some bank or protected area during wartime and in enemy territory. I disagee with how you say american soldiers are protrayed as good..because in both movies they are portrayed as greedy american soldiers trying to cash in or to profit somehow. Neither of these movies try to hide that fact. Its the plot in the movie...so how could that be portrayed as good???? Anyway a more realistic movie would be a movie I watched a couple of weeks ago called Jarhead. It has Jamie Fox in it and its as accurate as what it can be about 21st century american wartime situations.
Aso a very popular style of American Movies or any flim that is made in American is to take a bad character and make him a liked character. Tony Soprano in the Soprano series on HBO is the perfect example. Tony is a mobster. He kills, he steals, he cheats to make money. But Tony is also human. He even goes to therapy. He is a good father and a good family man. He cheats on his wife but he still loves her with all his heart. So in the end Tony ends up to be a real likeable guy.

As if i care about your opinion. Greed is in every human race so lets not question about that.  But the fact that in any war movie between the arabs and US, they strategically showed the mosque and the peace full dawn with the sound of Azan which any fools could clearly see its a muslim country in the middle east and then next in another scene of the arabs soldier shooting innocent woman or children.  Their brutality was clearly shown on any war movie.  For whatever reason its beyond my knowledge.  Was it to infiltrate others mind that the muslims are heartless terrorist or perhaps just to show how inhuman Arabs(muslims) are?   Have you ever seen a US soldier mistreating the innocents in any war movie which involves the middle east??? for example raping women and kids??? NEVER! I am very sure that was what happening in real war which will never be portrayed in any movie. why? simply because they wanted to protray the US soldiers a samaritan and the Arabs the evil one.  Think before  you argue cos you are very well known for your stubborness and yourselfish thoughts. ::)

Well saffie...its a fact that Sadam butchured and raped his own people. He didnt physically do it but he did order it done. And if the person he ordered to do it didnt do what he said...he was gonna get his head chopped off also.  The fact that the showed the mosque and played the music is because Iraq is a muslim country. I dont think the movie portrayed muslims as a bad people...in fact in the movie there were good muslims who helped the american soldiers. I think the movie showed both the good and bad on both muslims and americans...but saffie come on its just a movie its not a true story. Saffie dont take it so personal....its just entertainment...its not a american political statement.  ;)

Play Misty for Me was a movie made in the early 1970s. Starring Clint Eastwood as a disc jockey for a radio station in San Francisco. Well this movie is really just an older version of Fatal Attraction which was made in the late 1980s and had Micahael Douglas and Glen Close. Both movies are about men who cheated on thier relationships with the wrong kind of woman and it ends up making thier lives miserable. lol  ;D

Well those doctors and nurses in the Emergency Room forgot that superman was the man of steel because they tried to put a needle IV in him go get some fluids and drugs in him but the needle would always bend when they tried to stick it into his vein. lol  ;D I bursted out laughing.

I saw Pirates of the Caribbean Curse of the Dead Man's Chest. I wasnt very happy with this film as I am with most sequels, but it was an okay film. It took to long to get the story going. What I mean is 75% of the way into the movie you are finally gonna understand what the whole point of the movie is. It has great action and of course Capt. Jack Sparrow's comedy, which is nothing new of course. Plus the filmakers broke the golden rule of making sequels....they let you know for sure there is gonna be another sequel. I didnt like the ending at all.  The first Pirates movie was a great movie that I liked a lot, but this one is nowhere near as impressive to me.  :(

Yes, I understand that but you never make it so obvious.  :P I will be surprised if they even get Johnny Depp to be in another. Or maybe they will not give him as a much of a major role. I dont think this one will do as well at the box office as the first one.

Superman was good I thought. It is pretty much like all the previous superman movies with Chrisopher Reeve, but with a few surprises in it. It has that endless love thing going on with Superman and Lois in it. The new actors in the movie made the movie seem fresh.  And I thought it was kind of funny in some parts. The Emergency Room scene is very funny.  I liked the way they picked up the story from the previous films. Like I said I not a big fan of sequels but this movie is a good one.

When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts is a documentary film by Spike Lee for HBO. It is about the aftermath of Hurricaine Katrina in New Orleans. The film shows the struggles of the people of New Orleans. It shows the good and bad of the people of New Orleans and the failure of city, state, and federal governments. It has been over a year and for the most part it is still a mess there. A lot of people will never return. The word is they are gonna focus on high rise condos for the tourists first. Lots of investors are trying to buy land in the poor neighborhoods. Anyway it is a very good film though about 6 hours long.

The lead guy looks like my ex  :P  Cried buckets...from watching this again lol

HIM:
"...I learned two things..one is how to love, and the other is how to part with someone you love.
   But I am not smart enough to remember both...
       I only remember the first one.
           If I get to see you again, I will only learn about how to love, not anyone else..."

HER:
"The more love there is
    the more tears I shed..."

Flags of Our Fathers is the newest movie out by my favorite director, Clint Eastwood. It is a historical movie based on the nonfiction book by James Bradley. Bradley's father was one of the soldiers raising the flag in this photo. This photo caused some controversy because it wasnt the original photo taken. In fact this photo was taken 5 days after the original. But it was this photo that caused the United States to purchase war bonds which would finance World War II. The movie goes into the private lives of 3 of these soldiers. The guilt they delt with due to the fact none of them felt they deserved the attention. I totally disagree with that but I would imagine any regular guy would feel the same way.  I am proud of my country but lots of times American Government can do the dumbest of things to sell or promote something. This movie portrays that. Instead of telling the truth...they make up stuff to make it more heroic. It is no different than the Pat Tillman situation. Pat Tillman was a linebacker for the Arizona Cardnals in the NFL. He quit the NFL to join the fight against terrorism. He was killed in Afghanistan
. Well in order to sell and promote the war The United States Government put a story out that he was killed by the enemy while on some kind of mission. In reality, he was killed by friendly fire. But in order to promote they tried to hide the fact. Look...to me nothing changes. Is Pat Tillman any less of a hero just because he was killed by friendly fire? To me....anyone in the military, who is over there is a hero. Same as this picture. Just because these guys were not the original ones who put the flag up on Iwo Jima...does that make them any less of heros? I dont think so.

I have just watched Mr and Mrs Smith on my daughter's Ipod and I must say it's really a very entertaining one. Bradd Pitt and Angelina Jolie starred in it. Action packed too as the couple played secret agents without each others knowledge that they  have the same missions and so they pitied against each other and against their enemies using state-of-the art weapons. And then there's the part too where they both suspected each other of trying to kill each other. It's an action-comedy and I really enjoyed watching it. ;D

Can you go back to the years not too long ago and remember the cool nights when you can go and have a leisurely walk or play under the moonlight and just inhale that crisp clean air?  The mornings when you wake up and ride your bike with the sun gently shining down on your face?  Your first hike up the snow-capped mountains and just immerse yourself with the splendor of nature at its whitest?  How about that time when you saw a TV show featuring those majestic seals and walruses in their natural habitat enjoying their leisurely days on blocks of giant ice islands?  The lake where you used to spend a weekend with your Dad and swim, fish, and just be one with nature? 		 http://www.youtube.com/v/TUiP6dqPynE

What happened to those places now?  The nights are too cold now to even take the dog for a decent walk;the heightened incidences of skin ailments due to exposure to the sun's rays; the seemingly regressing snow covered mountains of the Himalayas and alps; the seals and walruses dying of exhaustion and drowning in the end because it has been swimming across the sea for days to find a decent ice block to rest and take refuge; the dried up expanse of land and dirt where that beautiful lake or river used to be...

Regardless of all the naysayers, (with their tongues faster than their brains can achieve, and those who try to see more of the political context, than what truly matters) this is a highly absorbing, illuminating and distressing material that promotes the message that everyone can embrace...the TRUTH: we should all work together to make this world a better place.  We are the antagonists and protagonists of this earth...the villains and the victims; the offenders and the defenders; the assailants and the casualties.


There is one thing even more vital to science than intelligent
methods; and that is, the sincere desire to
find out the truth, whatever it may be.

Quantum of Solace

Not much there. Basically, just candy floss but what do you expect from a James Bond movie? I loved the scenery though and couldn't wait to visit Siena, Italy.

I went to see it too on Christmas so I could get out of the house.  I saw it at the iMAX in north Dallas.  I liked it ok, but I kept feeling that it could have been much better.  Sometimes, the special effects took the entire scene and the characters seemed so cold.

I agree ...I was hoping the women and kid goes to the sphere...but than nothing happen.  Aren't you lucky to see it at iMax...our screen was bad...there were some kind of scratches on the film...got me dizzy for a moment...

The daVinci Code.  Wow, I really enjoyed that one.  

I wonder why it was so panned by reviewers that said there was not much in the way of "action".   For me, the action was in history.  Sure, it was flawed, but it did make for a intellectual adventure just the same.  I hope the "prequel" coming out this spring will be just as entertaining.

Ree! I'm looking forward to watching Angels and Demons as well. I have read the book and I liked it better than The Da Vinci Code. It's just much suspenseful and action packed.

I recently bought Angels & Demon but didn't read it yet...my s.i.l told me it is great.
