LYCHEE Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 (edited) Appaloosagenre: western/dramastarring: ed harris (director)/viggo mortensen/jeremy irons/renee zelwegger 2 middle-aged gun-slingers are hired as town marshalls and hunt down a wealthy gang leaderand bring him to justice after gunning down a sheriff and 2 of his deputies..a lady drifts into town and charms the men around her. and that's where the story brings you to the punchline--"feelings get you killed". if ur fans of these 2 great character actors --who also appeared together in A History of Violence-- this film is a must-see my rating--3 stars. :cool: Edited November 9, 2008 by LYCHEE Quote Link to comment

LYCHEE Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Q of S quantum sa action...bakbakang umaatikabo from beginning to end...motivated by revenge 007 at his best, matipid sa ngiti, sagad sa galit. once again craig proves he's the real deal in portraying the new bond...that's james bond. :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment
ibirp Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 007: I heard from a news flash that Roger Moore was disappointed on what the Bond Movies has become now (being more physical/brutal rather than the classic Spy type where he's got gadgets, cars, ladies). Comparing to the Bond movies that he starred before (like the Spy Who Loved me, Octopussy, etc.) I think he's correct. Quote Link to comment

Then again, Moore's (and Connery's, for that matter) Bond movies were products of another time entirely... when Russia was then known as the USSR and was still America's mortal enemy, and you can have your way with the lay-deez without worrying about suspect genital sores that could blacken your rep - especially with the British Secret Service. Sa totoo lang, after QoS, I'd certainly wish that M finally grant Bond access to some hi-tech gadgets (bring in Q!!!) Quote Link to comment
LYCHEE Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Twilight...naiibang teen vampire movie with a blend of romanticism less on the dark or morbid side but just enough blood letting and kick-ass action to keep you stuck on your seat and look forward to part 2...rating: 3 stars :thumbsupsmiley: Australia...(hugh jackman & nicole kidman) prang gone-with-the-wind and out of africa rolled into one epic movie, pang oscar bet.., my rating 4 stars :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment

Marshall Bruce Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 quarantine the film is similar to cloverfield. slow start then non stop gulat moments. the emily rose girl is good in this kind of movies. four christmases a laid back, date-movie. vince vaughn is really getting pretty boring to watch.

sigrid Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Twilight. If you read the book, it sucks. Watch it again, I dunno why but the pacing of events compensated for the downside of casting. Alice was fantastic! Quote Link to comment
johnnydrama Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Rocknrolla...the new movie from the former Mr. Madonna aka Guy Ritchie. HE'S BAAAAACK!!!! If you miss the ka-astigan you experienced from his previous film offerings such as Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch, a lot of it is evident in this return to form...even if the accents are not as forbiddingly deep as in these two above mentioned offerings. The narration also gets to push things forward. Great perfs as usual from Gerard (300) Butler, Tom Wilkinson and especially Thandie Newton (icy-cool accountants FTW!!) Quote Link to comment
Marshall Bruce Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 the day the earth stood still i didn't really enjoy watching this movie. it was dull and predictable. Quote Link to comment
Jlib Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Eagle Eye..I enjoyed the movie. the crystal thing was kind of stupid but Shia is an awesome actor. All of his movies ive enjoyed thus far Quote Link to comment
LYCHEE Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL (keanu reeves & jennifer connely) is an alright sci-fi re-make in the same genre as WAR OF THE WORLDS (tom cruise)... in the classic b/w film of 1951, the alien visitor klaatu ws a more caring character vs. the klaatu in the re-make who was more icy, fearsome and possessed more powers.... altho both commonly understood what human nature ws all about that determined the ultimate faith of mother earth...liked the special fx esp. scene where the robot freed itself n took off in a wave of locusts-like plague that devastated evrything in its path..my take-- 3.5 stars :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment
tenchi23 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 watched the day the earth stood stillit was ok nothing fancy love the effects though yung anak ni will smith galing umarte-- Quote Link to comment
clubber_lang Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 ^ Watched it last night. It was okay, I guess. There were some classic TVJ moments, good and bad. Basically it was the usual TVJ formula mixed with Kabisote elements and you got skul Bukol. It is not the best film they have done but as a TVJ fan myself, I was a bit satisfied. 6/10 Quote Link to comment
tagalinis Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Sorry for this but I feel obliged to post this. I'm a fan of Shake Rattle and Roll and my 2 sons are too. Watched every one of the 10 SRR movies made but for the life of me SRR X may be one the the worst in terms of meeting the expectations of watching a good quality scary movie. I cant really pinpoint why I did not like it but I didn't. Of course the actresses are pretty and that may be one of the positive things about it but except for the 1st story, the other 2 stories a really not too well written nor made. sayang si Marian Rivera, he last story could have been a good scary movie theme but sadlyu parang trying to be cute masyado yung scenes. mababaw yung kwento, zero for scariness. am watching school bukol later. i hope i dont get disappointed.

TanglewoodBoy Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Passengers -- anne hathaway just watch the early part (mga 10-20 minutes) tapos watch mo yung last part (around 15 minutes before it ends..) kuha mo na yung story.. the middle part is just boring... Quote Link to comment
LYCHEE Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 SPIRIT...for me so-so lang...mababaw kc ang story line with main characters not as deep even bordering into the ridiculous as opposed to the characters from 'sin city' or 'the 300'. my rating...2.5 stars Quote Link to comment
tidyaxx Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 not sure kung palabas na dyan, napanood ko kagabi online yung slumdog millionaire. nice movie about a kid from the slums of mumbai who went on a game show not primarily for the money. medyo nalito ako sa umpisa ng movie. all in all a well directed movie. showed the life in the slums in india which unexpectedly not a whole lot different from what it's like in the phils. pati yung sindikatong gumagamit sa mga bata naipakita na rin sa mga lumang pelikulang pilipino.

thonetteski Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Madagascar 2 this movie is for the kids. funny esp. the penguins. yep... i like this movie... specially the scene when they are going to crash and the penguins were very very suave on this... Quote Link to comment
LYCHEE Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 isku bukol..da movie. wlang kakupas-kupas ang tandem ng tvj...altho the plot was predictable, can't help but LOL on many of the gags n jokes of the escalera bros., maiksi lng exposure ni richie d horsie bt his segment during the reunion celebs of wanbol u ws enough to bring the house down.my rating...3.5 stars :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment

arrow Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 For a Pinoy flick, it was pretty good (emphasis on "for a Pinoy flick"). "Big budget" na raw, pero halatang ayaw masira yung simbahan (Hollywood would've made a replica that they can destroy). But heck, Baler's "big budget" would've been catering money for a mid-level Hollywood production. Ok lang storyline. Di masyadong distracting yung love-angle tienes. Acting was good. Walang nag-OA -- mostly the sin of Pinoy actors who want to exert a "pang-award" effort. It was watchable. But really no great shakes compared to the press it's been getting. Saw this movie.. story line was good but kulang sa.... how should i say it...emphasis siguro...kulang sa diin ng mga magagandang scenes...cinematography was good..overall, i might say it was better..well to compare to the other entries...
