Being a Jodie Foster fan, I just cannot let this movie pass by.
When I saw the trailer, I thought it has the same overtones with The Forgotten. I can’t imagine the feeling of suddenly being told that everything you hold dear were all lost, as what Kyle Pratt [Foster] experienced when the plane […]

Cory Yuen’s Blade of the Rose did not impress me. The plot, which depicts women ruling over an empire, and making men their slaves would have been an interesting story to get curious about, and which I really did. However, that is just what it is good at —> enticing curiosity. The moment […]

I never thought birds could be very much helpful during wars, until I watched Valiant. I went to the moviehouse not expecting anything regarding wars or whatever. I just went to enjoy an animated movie. Those who have read my reviews must have noticed my sweet inclination to animations and cartoons, so you […]

Sky High is not another X-Men movie, though they both portray a school for mutants, [though I havent really heard anybody said anything about mutants because they are more concerned on ‘powers’ than care about mutation]. It’s supposed to be a comedy movie, and somehow, sometimes, it worked on me. I am a […]
RATING: 4 STARS
A movie about Christians and Muslims during the Crusades in Jerusalem. I don’t really know much about it, so my ignorance in this matter prompted me not to dwell on the contextual aspects of the movie. For a more in-depth examination of the film, take a look at Steven Greydanus’ review on the […]
RATING: 5 STARS
There is a striking resemblance between Hustle and Shaolin Soccer: ordinary-looking folks possess tremendously stunning fighting skills. In these two movies, aside from the impressive array of visual effects, there is an implication of the shaolin/kung fu masters’ desire to live ordinary lives and be ordinary people. If I am not mistaken, one […]

I was expecting a very interesting movie as I was hurrying to my seat in the moviehouse. This must be cool. I’ve seen the first two parts of the “trinity/trilogy” already, and I could say they were quite good. This third sequel must be three times more amazing than the first two. I […]

very funny movie…the story is kinda common, and situations are usual…but i don’t know why it’s hit the bullseye….right at the center…yeah…
there’s something about the wayans that i like…they’re not the best comedy actors around..but man..they deliver!!! i always thought this movie is kinda the same with the not-anymore-funny-trilogy scary movie, where they […]

following the tradition of crouching tiger, hidden dragon, and hero, the flying daggers is a package of remarkable martial arts action, romance, and political struggle, during the Tang dynasty.
zhang ziyi, a figure also seen in those movies mentioned, delivers once again an impressive performance with this latest flick. with flying daggers excellent cinematography, […]
RATING: 4 STARS
the movie is a satire exposing some flaws of christian fundamentalists while somehow going overboard in its perspective or suggestion of christian freedom. the movie has its glorious moments where it has persuasively made its point. however, there are also moments of defeat (in the christian perspective) as hollywood wisdom replaces the true […]
RATING: 4 STARS
supposed to be a feel-good movie, but there are scenes that made my stomach feel bad.
storyline deals with the a mother-daughter relationship strained by frequent misunderstandings. mama [curtis] is a serious professional psychologist who, according to her daughter, is having a perfect life, perfect job, and perfect boyfriend while daughter [lohan] is a […]
RATING: 4 STARS
terrific martial arts action and effects. it’s like a combination of matrix and crouching tiger as the ad says. storyline dwells on a human-vampire love affair and the quest of a vampire hunter –who happens to be the brother of the aforementioned “human” in the human-vampire romance—to vanquish (i dunno if that’s the […]

I was dazzled with the visual effects, that’s why i wasn’t able to focus on the story very well. it was something about a doctor who planned to create a new civilization using a formula that could “miniaturize” living things. he devised such plan because of the failure of mankind to become good […]

it’s a story of an ambitious little fish named oscar, who made his way to the top of the reef (believing that being on top is the only way to make a difference and be a somebody), by telling a big lie, that he killed a shark, thereby gaining a title for himself […]
