ReviewReviewReviewReview`*`NARNIA : PRINCE CASPIAN`*`May 20, '08 9:50 AM
for everyone
Category:Movies
Genre: Action & Adventure
And you let the Philippines release date (ehem June 6 ehem) get in the way? Well I didn't and I watched Prince Caspian battle it out today on the net. I don't know if that was even legal so I'm not posting the link here. I don't want to get sued. I'm just 15! Anyway, moving on ...

In a nutshell :
Peter (William Moseley), Susan (Anna Popplewell), Edmund (Skandar Keynes), and Lucy (Georgie Henley) journies back to Narnia after Prince Caspian (Ben Barnes) blows the magical horn that's suppose to bring back the kings and queens of the old back. PC is the rightful to the throne but EUK ... er ... evil uncle king (poser) is doing whatever it takes to dispose of him.

Finding the Movie :
In an awesome website posting full movies for free. Kind of like Youtube. And if you ask me, what made you interested with Narnia 2? I'll hit you on the head I swear! I was looking forward to this movie for months! Not that I'm a CS Lewis fan and I never really really liked the first movie. But you know, Narnia's still a big name.

Story Plot :
Based on the beloved novel by CS Lewis, Narnia : Prince Caspian, is the sequel to Narnia : The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. The story goes like this, one year in our world is many many years for Narnia. The original talking and fairy tale characters of Narnia are driven away by more 'sons of Adam' and 'daughters of Eve'. Prince Caspian is the rightful heir to the throne but his evil uncle, upon the birth of a son, plots on his death. So he runs awayyy! (Please see the trailer I posted. Makes everything easier for the both of us.) Enough plot look. I might end up giving you a spoiler. You would not want that.

Review Proper :
Liike it waay better than the first one. A 4/5. The awesome-est. I loved the action all throughout the movie. And I loved the hidden attraction. (sighs). Who am I talking about? You really wanna know? Sorry can't tell you. Bet you've seen that coming huh? Hard blow. Anyway, lots of people liked the first one because I've read some of their reviews but I really liked this better. This was great. Took a long time to download but it was definitely worth it.

Favorite Scene :
The ending scene. I like to call it Phyllis. You'll find out as soon as you see it. The ending was sad. Bittersweet. Yep. That's the word.

ReviewReviewReviewReview`*`THE QUEEN OF THE DAMNED`*`May 10, '08 11:05 AM
for everyone
Category:Movies
Genre: Cult
In A Nutshell :
Lestat is a vampire who longs for attention. In doing so, he captures the Queen of the Vampire's too, the Queen of the Damned, you may say.

Finding the Movie :
My Aunt Ann wanted me to watch this when I was way younger. But I wasn't sure if I watched it or not-I don't remember anything so probably not. I watched "Interview With The Vampire" weeks ago starring Tom Cruise as Lestat. Though the actor is different here, Stuart Townsend did a fab job anyway. And did I mention the late Aaliyah starred here. She did okay. Going back, I just wanted to watch a vampire flick to satisfy my thirst and hopefully, watching movies like these will help me survive until December when Twilight will be released. Ugh ... such a long long time.

Story Plot :
Based on Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles about the notorious vampire Lestat who disguises himself as a rock star. The Queen of the Damned Akasha awakens and has a taste for both mortal and immortal blood. After draining the King of the Damned's (Lolz) blood, she makes a special appearance at Lestat's concert. Just when things couldn't get anymore complicated, Jesse enters the picture. A young woman who has a strange (not exactly, actually. can't blame her when the vampire's hot) attraction for Lestat.

Review Proper :
I'll give it 4 stars. I'd definitely watch it again if I have the luxury of time. And I'm recommending it to you. The plot's way different from the book (I know. I have a copy-a hand-me-down) but I'm not so sure yet because I'm not done reading. Marius was suppose to ... hmm. Zip. Got it. No spoilers. It's a wee bit different but it's still enjoyable. Nice effects!

Favorite Scene :
When Jesse went inside the vampire bar in London and then "gets rescued" by Lestat. She impresses him with her vampiric knowledge. Let's take her advice. Read as much vampiric myths as you can. It might come in handy one day!


ReviewReviewReviewReview`*`PENELOPE`*`May 10, '08 10:44 AM
for everyone
Category:Movies
Genre: Romantic Comedy
In A Nutshell :
Penelope is a story about a cursed girl with a piggy nose. Yep. You heard (or read) it right. Played by Christina Ricci and also starring Reese Witherspoon, this is definitely a worth-watching modern fairy tale with twist.

Finding the Movie :
I was browsing through Twilightlexicon like I do everyday and there was an announcement that there will be a Twilight Movie Sneak Peek in the Penelope DVD. I was wondering "What is Penelope"?! It sounded awesome.

Story Plot :
Nothing in life will ever be perfect. Penelope had it all-a promising future, aristocratic loving parents, and a pig's nose?! Penelope's family was supposedly cursed by a witch (which will be explained in the movie, of course). The only way to break it is if someone of their own kind-a blue blood-could truly love her for who she is-even for her nose. Not a very easy thing to do, huh?

Review Proper :
4/5 again. It really was living up to its name as a modern fairy tale. Plus, I've always loved Christina Ricci. She's a great actress and I've always looked up to her since the day I first saw "Casper" (oh Casper, I loved that movie!). And Reese Witherspoon was there! Loved the story. Loved the acting. 'Nuff said or I might give you spoilers.

Favorite Scene :
The wedding. The bridesgroom's expression was priceless.


ReviewReviewReviewReview`*`EDWARD SCISSORHANDS`*`May 10, '08 10:29 AM
for everyone
Category:Movies
Genre: Science Fiction & Fantasy
In A Nutshell :
Edward Scissorhands is a beautiful story about a boy who has scissors for hands-blades, sharp things. And his name is Edward. Certainly not an Edward Cullen much but hey, the actor Johnny Depp is still sizzling sexy. Hmm.

Finding the Movie :
My dad recommended it to me a few months ago when we were watching "Sweeney Todd" (which was an awesome movie, by the way). He asked me who the actor and director were so I told him Johnny Depp and Tim Burton. Lovely.

Story Plot :
Though you could consider Edward being a robot, being invented by a really old man who died before he could give him realistic hands, he had a heart, a brain, everything. He had senses and sure it seems impossible but this is fiction. Anyhow, he's been living alone in an old castle on the hill until Peg, a sweet middle-aged Avon dealer, found him. She took him in her home but just look at the picture for one sec, it scared the devil out of my brother! Peg's family wasn't too warm towards Edward at first and so were the neighbors but things eventually worked out. He had a cool talent of trimming and cutting things-plants, animal fur, women's hair, ice ... and he was a super nice guy so people learnt to love him. Speaking of love, did I mention that Edward, too, fell in love with a pretty teenage girl?

Review Proper :
I'll give it a 4/5. It was a very good film. I wish I could've given this a 4.9/5 but that isn't possible. So, a 4/5 should do. This is a must-see classic. And Johnny Depp, as usual, was at his best. Such a brilliant actor. And Tim Burton is still the best director when it comes to this genre. I don't know how you can sum up "The Corpse Bride", "Edward Scissorhands", "Sleepy Hollow", "Charlie and The Chocolate Factory", "Sweeney Todd" and more really but I love them all. I don't know much about camera angles but I always base my reviews on the story. It's awesome. But it's not a happy ending-oops.

Favorite Scene :
When Kim, Peg's daughter, first met Edward. I won't go into details but this was my favorite scene. Hilarious.


ReviewReviewReviewReview`*`FAILURE TO LAUNCH`*`Apr 30, '08 4:05 AM
for everyone
Category:Movies
Genre: Romantic Comedy
So last night, my younger brother was flipping through the channels manually-and by that I mean he had to go up to the tv because he broke the remote. I told him to stop the annoying random color flashes some time around 7 because there was that little sign in HBO that said "Failure to Launch - 00:00"-okay so I forgot the exact minute and time. He was a bit hesitant at first and I explained to him what I have heard of of the plot. It was limited but it was enough to make him watch it.

There were lots of good films I've read of on the internet or in magazines but never got a chance to see them. "Failure to Launch" was one of them. It stars Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew McConaughey. Here's the part where I tell you the plot now. Tripp (McConaughey) is a 30-something-year-old man who still lives with his parents. He has a good job-a boat agent or something like that-but he just doesn't want to leave home. This is the main reason why his girlfriends or dates would dump him. Who'd like a grown man who still lives in his parents' house for a boyfriend, anyway? He makes his mom make him breakfast, prepare clothes for him, and packs his lunch. It drives his parents insane and leads them to hire Paula (Parker) who's very professional with her job of driving out boys like Tripp out of the house. The plan-to make him fall in love with her. Everything's going according to plan until Tripp finds out-thanks to his overattentive friends. As all romantic comedies are, there is a brief I-Don't-Ever-Want-To-See-You-Again phase but with some divine intervention-not really-friends and family intervention, the two are brought back together. How? Something much more creative than sending flowers from "Paula" to Tripp and "Tripp" to Paula. You'll have to see.

I thought that it was really good. To be perfectly honest, it was the first movie I've seen of both actors. I was never a Sex and The City fan (but I'm thinking of watching the movie. not sure about the ratings, though). It was very nice. A typical romantic comedy but with a twist-as all romantic comedies embody. There were hilarious scenes when Tripp gets attacked by a dolphin, a chipmunk, and a vegetaian lizard which doesn't happen often, right? The best thing about it is that the movie doesn't only focus on the two's romance but also on their friends Kit and Philip. Their story's equally funny and interesting-lots of mood swings, though. Anyway, I'm giving this a 4/5. I loved the boats. I basically loved the story, the actors, the setting, the dialogue-everything.

So now I ask myself-why did I take a really long time to watch this?


See Kristen pick something in Rob's teeth on April 22. Yep. I'm serious. An MTV interview with-well, yeah, the title pretty much says it all. I'm uploading all three parts-all more or less about a minute only but they're the best.

PS : IMDB "The Last Tango In Paris"-the movie Kristen mentioned. You'll be surprised. Lol.

for everyone

Remember the night of the 200,000,000 peso-lottery prize up for grabs? Well, my dad got the numbers right and we flew to the US. I begged him to go to Washinton where they're shooting the Twilight movie. And then I took some pictures of the Twilight cast. Okay, so that's not the real story. But wouldn't it have sounded better than the truth? That I just happened to bump into these pictures on the net and a series of save as's followed? These are really great pics. I take pride of posting them here. The casts and crew seem to be really busy. Probably pressured of the December 12 release? Good luck, you guys. For now, Twihards, here's a close up look on what's going on on the scene. Here are pictures SNAPPED AT THE SCENE.

My Movie Review on
"The Messengers"

It's nothing new.
But I happened to find a full version on the internet.
No download needed.
Totally free.

I also wanted to see Kirsten act.
And she was good, by the way.
So you, Twihards, can breathe now.
She'd make a good Bella.

I wouldn't have watched it if it weren't for Kirsten, too.
I mean, I don't watch horror movies often.
Yesterday, I had to watch 3.
And "The Messengers" was just one of them.

It was good.
The best of the 3.
I just hate those disembodied legs.
Scared me crazy.
I'll give it a 4/5 also.

Kirsten was the main character here.
She played Jessica.
And she was forced to move into a small town (oh what a coincidence)
with her mom, dad, and baby brother.
They bought an eerie old farm house.
And I hated the house!
I covered my eyes every farm house scene.
I watched this alone.
You'd think that those entities or corpses even are the malevolent spirits and that they're just downright mean as well as scary.
But they're the "messengers".
They were trying to protect Jessica and her family.
Because they're the "messengers".
(heh heh)

Maybe I would watch this film again.
When it'll be shown in Star Movies this month.
I'd probably ask my brother and dad to watch it with me.
It was good.
Great movie.
Not corny.
Good acting.

Still can't wait for Twilight.

My Movie Review on
"Juno"

Yeh.
I'm so not updated with the movies coming out these days.
But anyway.

I liked this movie.
I'll give it a 4/5.

It's about teenage pregnancy.
And it sounds absurd and all but it was quite entertaining.

It was not about a flirty Juno who got knocked up when she got wasted one night at a party.
It was about a tomboy Juno who ended up doing it with her best friend, Bleeker.
It was about a girl wh considered an abortion.
It was about a girl who realized she'd rather have the kid adopted.
It was about a girl who ended up all puffy at Jr. High.

Ellen Page (who played Juno) was a good actress.
She acted like a real ordinary small-town teenager.
Though, she was exceptionally cool about being pregnant.
Cool about her next check-up.
And cool about giving up her kid and never seeing it.

She never did.
That was what made the movie a bit sad.
Bleeker suggested it was better if they would never see their baby.
Because it'd only make things difficult.
The seperation and giving up and all.

I could actually picture it as a film that'd be shown to students years from now.
Because it's educational and all.
No need to emphasize on that.

So there you have it.
Juno.
Good film.
4/5.
