The Dark Knight
Sunday, den 20. July 2008Special thanks to Joyce for the free special screening tickets. I say that this is the best Batman movie I’ve ever seen. And I’ll have to agree that the late Heath Ledger deserves to win an Oscar for his portrayal of Joker. He practically owned the character, I can’t think of any other actor that [...]

Pisay
Sunday, den 13. July 2008Of course, I can’t resist writing about the movie that took place in my own alma mater. This was originally shown at CCP as one of the entries of Cinemalaya 2007. My plane just landed, but I went straight from the airport to CCP to watch it. I can’t help but feel proud that this [...]

The Bucket List
Sunday, den 22. June 2008This is the first time I saw a movie that was able to change the way I look at life itself. This serves as a reminder that life is short, and you should enjoy every moment of it. In my opinion, the people who are given some sort of warning before they die are lucky, [...]

The Golden Compass: Movie Adaptation
Thursday, den 19. June 2008The Church need not be worried about this movie. Even though it’s based on Philip Pullman’s book, the scriptwriters toned it down so much so that it would appeal to kids. Honestly, it seems that the scriptwriters are under the influence of the “Magisterium” themselves. They just gathered the exciting parts of the book and [...]

Meet the Spartans
Monday, den 16. June 2008I wasn’t expecting much, really. From the posters and trailers, I knew that it would be a cheap parody of 300. I just wanted to watch something funny. I wasn’t expecting that my mind would turn to mush afterwards. Haha.
It was slightly better than expected. I was extremely entertained with the way they chose the [...]

27 Dresses
Saturday, den 14. June 2008I actually wanted to watch this film. I don’t really know why, but when Joyce declared that she wanted to watch that movie, I immediately said yes. The Pisay boys had no idea what it was all about, but they watched it anyway. Besides, it’s not that bad. Not bad at all.

Sweeney Todd
Thursday, den 12. June 2008I watched the film because of Johnny Depp. That’s it. I have a slight idea what it’s all about. I didn’t expect it to be bloody. If only I knew, hehe… *evil grin*
Maybe it’s because the others are squeamish, or maybe it’s because I’m being sadistic (to compensate for not being able to express my [...]

National Treasure: Book of Secrets
Sunday, den 1. June 2008I met up with my usual movie buddies from Pisay and joined then in watching National Treasure. And I say, it is good enough to keep you distracted. Not to mention that it was nice to see Paris again.
This time, they were searching for the Golden City. Yes, it is another story based on the [...]

Vantage Point
Tuesday, den 27. May 2008The story focused on the assassination of the President of the United States seen at different points of view, or “vantage points”. We get the general picture based on the point of view of GNN, the hypothetical news agency that covered the incident. Next, the film looked at the scene from the point of view [...]

Stardust
Tuesday, den 20. May 2008This film was based on a book by Neil Gaiman. I’ve heard his name for a long time now, but I never really bothered to read any of his books. But after watching this film, I’m now itching to get my hands on his books. Now if only I had the money to buy it, [...]
