The MOVIE REVIEW Thread


Recommended Posts

Check out the "Casino Royale" Thread my friend that chase scene has a very factual explanation kung bakit ganun katindi mag pasikot sikot yung hinahabol ni James Bond. :D

 

Posted this in the Casino Royale thread too.

 

He's hot - that freerunner.

 

Actually I liked that chase scene because it showed us a bit of Bond's flawed side. I liked how it was shown that he wont always fall flawlessly onto the platform and hes not always suave and graceful all the time.

 

The new Bond works for me - less flamboyant but tougher. His bod is amazing and his clothes are very hip.

 

The movie was tight and interesting. The one liners are good.

 

Loved Chris Cornell's song in the opening - actually loved the entire opening. Talk about a blast from the past - it was hippy, campy and totally Bond - down to the hearts/aces/spades/diamonds effects.

 

All in all, a good watch.

it's not out yet here but.

 

if there ever was a strong Oscar contender from 2006

 

Babel is it. Babel

 

Great movie, filmmaking and storytelling at its finest.

 

Proof that you don't need sophisticated effects or a rehashed story to make something great.

 

Stars Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, and Gael Garcia Bernal.

 

not my best of all time, but definitely in my top 10

Watched Talladega Nights - The Ballad of Ricky Brown .....and all i could say was that it's one hilarious movie.....for a supposedly dumb movie....this has gotta be a smart one......check out Baron Cohen as the french gay Nascar driver who is up against Ricky Brown.....he was funny as well.....so many highlights in the film but the kissing scene was freaking hilariuos :boo:

 

I recommend this movie as much as I recommend Borat! :cool:

 

If you could get a copy of Beerfest......That's also one freakin hilarious movie......Did I say their grandmother was a German Whore ?!!!bwahahahahah :boo:

So far the best film this year has got to be Clint Eastwoods "Letters from Ima Jiwa" ..... I think Clint is a sure bet this year for best director esp that he made two films of the same battle (the other one was Flags of our Father) but from the opposing camps point of view.....i mean that is one hell of a concept.....not the first one...I think Orson Welles did this too....nevertheless....it is a standout.

@ Waterbearer It's Ricky Bobby and Iwo Jima...

 

Anyways, it is a bit off topic but when will Letters From Iwo Jima be shown? Or will it be an Ayala Cinema exclusive?

 

Just watched "Hostel" (finally)

 

It was really violent. Graphic. For people who can really take a hit in the gut. And the acting is not that shabby either...

any reviews for Eragon? :unsure:

I saw this movie yesterday with high expectations but turned out bad. The graphics was good, the main actor (Eragon) not so good. I walked out of this movie because of too much differences with the book: no elves, no dwarves, the hordes of monsters were replaced by barbaric mercenaries, angela the witch was replaced by a bellydancer, no werecat, and a distorted ending (when I came in the theater ending na). Well.. spoilers pwede at this point because I assume that people here have read the book; Eragon did not go to the realm of the elves (no elves remember?) but stayed with the varden.

actually pinanood ko rin siya after making that post. i also searched the net for reviews of the movie since nauna na siya ipalabas sa ibang bansa because of the MMFF. from what i read medyo negative nga ang reviews. most critics were comparing it to star wars. one even went as fas as saying that eragon took all of sci-fi clichés and put them in one movie. i said to myself "it can't be that bad?" and since i liked the book so much, i went ahead and watched it with a couple of friends.

sad to say, the reviews were right. nakakapanghinayang kasi the book had so much potential to become a great movie and it all went to waste. parang masyadong minadali yung movie, i don't know why. parang halfway through hindi mo alam kung wala nang budget or nagsawa na lang yung direktor. there were several oooohhh moments but they just leave you hanging. even the music sucked. there was not enough character development. wala. sayang talaga. should've watched blood diamond instead. :thumbsdownsmiley:

Yeah, medyo kulang ang development ng characters.

 

But maybe sa Part 2 may mga elves and monsters na!?! :(
