clubber_lang Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Die Hard 4.0 (Live Free Or Die Hard in the US) Well, not similar to the earlier films but still enjoyable. Predictable at times, crazy action and a bit of special effects. The villains are tech savvy! Haha! Geeks are out to terrorize the U.S.? Please.. Still, not a bad way to spend 170 bucks. Way better than most action flicks we've seen lately but does not stack up as a classic action film like its predecessors in the series... Quote Link to comment

Wyld Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 (edited) Last Friday we saw two movies - Transformers and Ratatouille. Suffice it to say I loved the Transformers: I have always loved the cartoon series, the movie was awe-f#&king-some! But no I wont rave about that anymore ... Too many raves given to an undeniably great movie already ... I will however, rave about Ratatouille. It was my unexpected treat that night and to my mind, the best movie I have seen in months. I have not been so enchanted, amused and drawn to a movie since I saw Pan's Labyrinth and Volver. Its a deceptively simple story really. A garbage boy who just wants to hold down a job but cant; a rat who wants to be a chef but cant. Thrown together, they made their dreams happen. The way that the story developed was very smooth. The transition from one subplot to another was handled with grace and finesse. Somehow, the guys over at Pixar managed to make the ickiest of creatures endearing -- Remy and his part snobbish part wistful air; his brother who is always hungry and who keeps bringing more and more people for Remy to feed and his dad who comes across as the typical dad: tough but with an unexpected sweet side that means he will never, ever turn his back on his son. Linguini as the garbage boy turned chef turned restaurateur was also a sympathetic character. One cannot help but feel sorry for him and his inability to hold down a job. We cant help but cheer when he and Remy finally get their act together; cant help but swoon when Remy and Colette finally kiss. Even the bad guys are amusing - Skinner with his avarice and Anton Ego, who in the end turns out to be quite human after all. Ratatoiulle is more than just a cartoon ... both Remy and Linguini have to make choices between what they want to be and what they think they can achieve. Remy in the end, comes to realize that one does not turn his back on family ... and Linquini comes to terms with his own heritage as well. It also puts forth the learning that we always have to be accountable for our actions and decisions; and that to attain what we truly want, we sometimes have to give up what we think we need. Technically - the film is flawless. It conjures up images of the classic Disney cartoons - think Snow White and Cinderella. The entire movie is able to evoke a lush feeling of Parisian grandeur in one scene and in another, totally gross us out with a platoon of rodents cooking away at a kitchen. One actually senses just how hot and hectic it can get in a 5star restaurant's kitchen; one can almost smell and taste the food that they have just made. Pixar's strength really lies in putting forth feelings through their animation and they have done a superb job of doing that in this movie. I love that they are able to combine simplicity and sophistication in this film and come up with something that is sublime. In the end, my biggest take away from this movie came from Anton Ego when he said: "Not everyone can be a great artist... but a great artist can come from anywhere". Being what we want to be is possible - it just takes hard work and faith in oneself. Edited July 9, 2007 by Wyld Quote Link to comment
Waterbearer Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 (edited) @Wyld - I couldn't agree more..... Ratatouille is simply the best computer animated movie to come out since Finding Nemo and Monsters Inc. .....it's that good.....my favorite scene was when the Health inspector came to the restaurant and saw Remy's entire clan.....boy that threw me out of chair laughing actually there are so many high moments in this movie it would be hard to rank them from highest to lowest..... :cool: On Topic: I saw Blind Date last night.....If your looking for comedy this is not it.....the comedy doesnt work for me here....HOWEVER, If you are looking for a drama, this is a good alternative.....though there are dragging parts and poor acting in the movie, you can't help but admire Chris' Pine's performance as the blind virgin guy who fell in love with an Indian woman engaged to be married who undergoes an experimental surgery in the hopes of seeing again.....other than that, its not worth your time.

Guest Leviticus Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Harry Potter 5: The order of the phoenix. No chance of a spoiler here. A few weeks from now would be the world-wide release of book 7 of HP. But I'm getting ahead of myself.. this is a review of the fifth HP movie. Here we see Harry and his friends grow up. The effects are better as compared to the first four movies. If you've followed the books there are quite a number of differences in the story. Focus of the movie seems to be on Harry and Luna; move over Hermione. hehe. Character of Cho seems to be.. light. too bad there wasn't much focus on her. And also with Hagrid! argh!! only a few seconds of movie time. Too bad too with Tonks. The broomstick ride through London was spectacular though, and the magic duels in the middle and the end. Helena Bogham (Correct ba spelling) Carter did a stunning performance as Bellatrix Lestrange. Also with Gary Oldman as Sirius Black. The end scenes, however, were not that memorable, especially with the dialogue between Harry and Dumbledore an 8/10 movie Quote Link to comment
Waterbearer Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Nakakatawa pala ang "Cute ng ina mo" ....saw it last night....my mom was laughing like crazy. Quote Link to comment
Waterbearer Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 (edited) Finally saw Live free or Die Hard 4.0.....It was really good.....I didn't saw this coming.....I thought it was just another senior citizen guy doing a comeback....but yeah I was happy with this film......love the fight scene with the Asian chick.

id6230 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 I like the fact that Die Hard 4 was sort of an old fashioned action movie and not to dependent on "computer magic". Quote Link to comment
Waterbearer Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Saw a couple of films last weekend..... SURF'S UP - I like their concept of storytelling thru a reality show program....yun nga lang, parang kulang sa comic.....way way below comparison as against Ratatouille. It was a good film though. OCEAN'S 13 - Ocean's 11 and 12 were better but the twist in this one is so supercool.....creating a man-made earthquake to knock a security system was just pure brilliance.....medyo dragging lang pero all in all, it was cool movie....San kaya makakakuha nung patch na nakakaseduce the chick Quote Link to comment
clubber_lang Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 The Simpsons Movie I always knew there is no way this film would disappoint me. Almost everything that made the show great was here! Laughs galore! The plot was nonsensical most of the time, but that did not stop it from being enjoyable! Highly recommended to everyone who has seen at least an episode... Quote Link to comment
Waterbearer Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 (edited) Finally seen the Simpsons movie last night.....lots of laugh on this one.....even in its 2D state, it still looks good......so that's how they make love in Alaska but still...... Ratatouille is the best animated movie this year. Edited July 27, 2007 by Waterbearer Quote Link to comment
LT Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 i watched simpson's the movie last night... i must admit i missed this show and it really felt good seeing the family again. for those who have watched simpson's in TV before, you'll know how dysfunctional the family is. ahahaha! pero sa movie, they are succesful in sending out a very good message about environment and family, how to take care of it and how to be a better person. i like the movie... may last song syndrome pa nga ako e. da...dadada...dada..
