B. Synopsis of the Movie

ever watched Quick Change by Bill Murray? this was a mind-boggling film of a bank heist in

Manhattan, NY. Denzel played the role of Negotiator and Clive Owen as the Leader of the

Bank Robbers... the whole bank heist is great - following the real motives of the robbery

and how it develops from unravelling one scene to another...

 

C. Review/Criticism

Superbly great!!! weird but amazing plot!! changing from one part of the story from another

but still connects to the smooth flow of the storyline from beginning to the end.... Denzel

was so amazing with his acting as the negotiator.. Clive is so smooth and direct...

Chris Plummer's old-time acting as a big-time old corporate guy was still unfazed.... Willem Dafoe's

supporting role is also cool... Jodie Foster is sweet, but her participation in the whole movie

were kinda short (since you will never notice that the whole film was that long not until you really

finished it!)... Spike Lee is still a great director....

 

D. Rating (To be placed at the bottom of the post)

10 thumbs up... what more can you ask for a SPILE LEE film?!!!! plus powerhouse cast

of Denzel, Jodie, Chris Plummer, Clive and Willem... super galeng.... WATCH THIS ONE!!!

I watched 'Moments of Love' yesterday at the Gateway cinemas at Araneta Center, Cubao

 

http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e28/hkdisney0006/mol.jpg

 

I hope this movie would spark a revival of interests for Pinoy movie and in uplifting the dwindling local movie industry. This is one of the best Pilipino movies I've seen in years. Although it obviously borrowed elements from other great classic movies such as Titanic, Somewhere in Time, Frequency, a touch of 'Back to the Future' and from the korean made film 'Il Mare'.

 

The movie molded by director Mark Reyes from a story by Annette Gozon-Abrogar with lead characters played by Dingdong Dantes and Iza Calzado. Divina (Iza Calzado) engaged to a cruel and ill-mannered but wealthy fiance Paolo Contis in the year 1957; Marco (Dingdong Dantes) a bachelor in the year 2006, two lonely people mysteriously led by fate, able to communicate with each other by using the same telephone in the same provincial house but from different periods in time.

 

'Moments of Love' has a few shortcomings. Technical-wise, the audio sometimes clear in some aspects and inaudible in some. Beginning scenes of the 1957 period were done in sepia / black and white giving it a nostalgic look and feel but I wish the filmakers use more of the 'sepia' look throughout all of the 1957 scenes. Divina planted a framed photo of herself besides the tree in 1957 and recovered by Marco in 2006, yet the framed photo still looks brand new. Divina planted a second object (her artwork in a bamboo container) the following day in the same area and recovered by Marco also on the following day, in strict common sense, shouldn't be the two objects recovered on the same given period ?

 

Dingdong Dantes shines in this film. He touchingly portrays Marco and engages the audience in a complex mix of emotions that other actors would only ruin through overacting. Dingdong Dantes shares the screen with the legendary Ms. Gloria Romero in a poignant moment with sounds of shrills ('kilig') from audiences. Iza Calzado radiantly sparkles the screen with her 1950-ish glamour. Dingdong and Iza's performances are effective and very convincing that not only do we agree with the time-and-space-continuum premise; we hope that fate will find a way to make the characters meet. Prepare to shed a tear or two with this film. Highly recommended.

 

5/5 :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:

Basic Instinct 2

 

Most of the actors and actress are new, but the movie is to die for.

 

The ending is quite the same with Part 1, which thinkers in my mind if there will be a part 3.

Tristan and Isolde

 

After the fall of Rome, the warlords of England are brutally kept in line by the forces of Irish King Donnchadh. One of these leaders, Lord Marke (Rufus Sewell) seeks to unite the English tribes to form one strong nation to rule itself. His greatest knight is Tristan (James Franco), whom Marke raised since he was orphaned in an Irish attack that also took Marke's family. With Tristan by his side, Marke believes he can unify his people and rid England of Irish rule. But Tristan harbors a terrible secret…

 

Wounded and left for dead after battle, he is nursed back to health by Isolde (Sophia Myles), a mysterious Irish beauty who hides him from her father, King Donnchadh's, forces and brings him back to life. But their passionate affair is cut short when Tristan must return to England, not knowing if he will see Isolde again.

 

Still seeking to throw the English tribes back into chaos, King Donnchadh gives away his daughter as the prize in a tournament between all the champions of England. Tristan wins the princess' hand for Lord Marke, whose vision of a united England may finally be realized.

 

Tristan is horrified to see that the woman he has won for his Lord, the woman whom Marke will marry, is his Irish savior Isolde. Worse, Marke is a good and worthy future king, whose belief in Tristan has made the young knight who he is.

 

First separated by countries at war, and now by loyalty to King and country, Tristan and Isolde must suppress their emotions for the sake of peace and the future of England. But the more they deny their passion, the more fiercely it burns. Despite their efforts to stay apart, Tristan and Isolde are driven inexorably together, risking everything for one last moment in each other's arms.

my personal review:

 

I think the producers the Scott Brothers are already going bankrupt...hehehe..they did not show the movie based on the real story of Tristan and Isolde. Sayang ang ganda pa naman ng story. if you

read the story before watching the movie youll surely say WHATTA FAK!!! bakit iba???? ibang iba ang libro sa movie...parang tipid version ang movie.

 

Pero ang ganda ng sword scenes...parang Gladiator at maganda ang girl who played Isolde (Sophia Myles).

 

VALUABLE TIP : if you want to enjoy the movie, dont read the real story of Tristan and Isolde.

 

btw here is the link to the real story: http://www.timelessmyths.com/arthurian/tri...html#Background

 

I give this movie 3 stars because of Sophia Myles.....and the sword fight scenes...

Mission Impossible 3

Directed by J.J. Abrams

Starring: Tom Cruise, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ving Rames, Keri Russel, Michelle Monaghan, Billy Crudup, Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Laurence Fishburne

 

 

Synopsis of the movie

 

Ethan Hunt is now trying to live a normal life, and is preparing for marriage. Since he has retired from active duty, he acts as a training instructor of new MI agents. However, he is asked to head one last mission in order to save another agent. He learns that said agent has been investigating Owen Davian, a ruthless, sadistic, and evil arms dealer. Eventually, Ethan captures Owen Davian, but the latter escapes, and vows to k*ll him and his fiancée. Ethan then embarks on a true impossible mission, and his misstep or failure could mean leaving the fate of his loved one to a sadistic Owen Davian.

 

Review/Criticism

 

In Mission Impossible 1 (MI1), the franchise (MI movie series) was still trying to define itself. But, it still retained the essential elements of the Mission Impossible TV series which are: action, espionage, suspense, and action. Its sequel (MI2) veered away from the original concept and became more of a love story — a forced one at that. Mission Impossible 3 (MI3) goes back to the original concept of the MI TV series, and effectively intertwines it with the love story angle.

 

In MI3, Ethan is trying desperately to have a “normal” life, and has finally found love. In spite of this new found normal life, he eventually has to take down Owen Davian; this provides the action, espionage, and suspense part of the film. However, Ethan’s fiancée Julia will be kidnapped by Davian; this predicament makes the “love story angle” relevant in the story.

 

On the other hand, in MI2, Ethan suddenly fell in love with Thandie Newton’s character, and he had to save her from the villain of that movie. MI2’s premise was that the instant love between the two was enough motivation for Ethan to go on an impossible and dangerous mission. This is not realistic.

 

MI3 establishes that Ethan and Julia, already spent some time together; thus, making it believable that they are really in love. And the love between them becomes the reason why Ethan is willing to go to hell and back for Julia. The workable premise of MI3 makes the movie more plausible and credible.

 

The trademark of the MI movie series is its stunts; eventually, MI3 has to be compared with its predecessors. MI1’s most notable stunt was the one when Tom Cruise was trying to steal the noc list from the CIA headquarters. In that movie, he almost fell to the floor horizontally, but stopped a few inches. In MI2, the memorable stunt was the motorcycle chase. On the other hand, MI3 is offering a more impressive maneuver, and that is when Tom Cruise has to swing from building to building.

 

Not being Spider-Man, Ethan can’t just jump to the next building because he won’t make it; in order to get there he has to jump, and swing like a pendulum. This means he has to jump from the opposite end of the building where he stands, and then swing towards the other building in one motion. Consequently, the camera is not on slow motion while Tom Cruise is executing this stunt. The camera is not zeroing on him; thus, showing the audience that the stunt is not done by CGI.

 

Perhaps what sets the MI movies apart from other action flicks are their fight scenes. MI3’s action sequences are non-stop, gritty, and realistic. This is unlike MI1 which did not offer anything new. MI3’s fight scenes are believable; there are no gravity defying kicks, or bullet like punches. It shows what true fighting is — bloody, messy, brutal, cruel, and ugly. In fact, this is probably the only movie in recent memory where Tom Cruise is beaten up black and blue, and almost to a pulp. Forget seeing good looking Tom Cruise i.e. Jerry Maguire, but think of a filthy Brad Pitt in the Fight Club — he is as dirty and bloodstained.

 

However, MI2’s fight scenes were different from MI1 and MI3 because of its director John Woo; who is known for utilizing slow motion as an art form. By using slow motion, his fight scenes don’t look like real fights, but instead look like graceful dances. MI2’s fight scenes were like ballets instead of bloody messes. Every punch, kick, and jump was executed with more flair. For example, whenever Tom Cruise punched in MI2, he extended his arm too much; the effect was to exaggerate the punch. This is usually a technique utilized in Asian martial arts films. In the end, MI2 and MI3’s fight scenes are radically dissimilar; the difference being night and day. Choosing the film with better fight scenes boils down to what the viewer prefers; it’s a matter of taste.

 

A noteworthy scene in the movie is Owen Davian’s rescue. The explosions in this scene are not over-the-top; the viewers need not cover their ears because of excessive use of explosives, bombs, and the like. Also, slow motion is appropriately and masterfully used, and this is when Ethan has to jump over a seven – nine foot gap/hole of the bridge. But, the most exciting part of this sequence is when Ethan is running away from a missile; eventually, getting hit and slamming into a car. That’s as real as it gets, and the audience is wowed with that

 

In MI1, the film was trying to find its identity, and it seemed that Tom Cruise was just a big star who happened to be in that movie. MI2 was starting to be identified as a Tom Cruise film; it was becoming synonymous with him. Now, MI3 is Tom Cruise; in fact, Ethan Hunt is Tom Cruise. He finally owns this character. Even if other actors will play said part in the future, it will never be the same. It’s just like having many James Bonds, i.e. Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, and Pierce Brosnan, but there is only one true Bond — Sean Connery.

 

However, this film has its share of lapses. The movie fails to establish whether Ethan had a previous relationship with Lindsey, the agent he had to rescue. Also, there is no ample background why he wanted to quit active service. The film just presented that he wanted to quit because he wanted a new life — period! The screenplay should have devoted more time to this, rather than just expecting the audience to take this hook, line, and sinker.

 

Although this is a Tom Cruise film, Philip Seymour Hoffman, 2006 Oscar Best Actor, has to be applauded, too. He is the quintessential villain — evil, ruthless, cold, sadistic, cruel, brutal, vindictive, and merciless. In fact, he is the best baddie of all MI movies, and that is a tall order since the first was Jon Voight.

 

Watching Philip Seymour Hoffman portray Owen Davian, he comes off as if he really is a bad person, and not an actor playing a bad person. There is no need for him to resort to theatrical outbursts, or stereotype dialogue in order to prove that he is bad. His demeanor: silent, cold, and calculating, is enough to convey the impression that he is the film’s bad guy. And when he is saying to Tom Cruise, “I will k*ll you in front of her,” it is so effective because he is able to show how truly ruthless his character is by uttering that one line.

 

Rating

 

All in all, on a scale of 1 – 5, Mission Impossible 3 deserves an almost perfect score of 4.5. It goes back to the original concept of the Mission Impossible TV series, but at the same time effectively intertwines it with a love angle. This time the love story is easier to swallow.

 

This is the first of many movies to come, namely: Poseidon, The Da Vinci Code, X-Men 3, and Superman Returns. It’s a good start and hopefully the others will be as good or be better. Optimistically, the string of summer movies will not end with a whimper considering that it started with a bang.

Mission Impossbile 3

 

nothing special about this film, same as all the other action films before it. big gun battles, high speed car chase, damsels in distress, a deadline to beat, falling off high places, etc.

 

 

the director even "borrowed" Quentin Tarantino's adrenalin shot in the heart scene from Pulp Fiction

 

nothing new!

Title of the Film DA VINCI CODE

 

Director RON HOWARD

 

Lead Actors/Actresses Tom Hank,Audrey Tautou,Ian McKellen,Jean Reno,Paul Bettany,Alfred Molina

Remarks: Based on a Book by Dan Brown about the secrets of the Christian Church

(I never read the book so I'll base my review on the movie)

 

B. Synopsis of the Movie - Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks), who was a famous symbols expert was led into a quest which involves life and death situation that will reveal the most surprising secrets of the Christian church - the quest for the Holy Grail. Robert is accompanied throughout the journey by a girl who was a granddaughter of his friend who was murderered and together they uncover the facts of solving the mystery of the murder and finding clues to unravel the most important secret of the Christian Church. They travelled from Paris and London to search for hidden clues given by the girl's grandfather which covers Leonardo Da Vinci, his paintings - The Mona Lisa, Last Supper, Isaac Newton and several historical evidence which involves the Prior of Scion and the Holy Grail. They seek the help of an English friend (Ian McKellen) of Robert who in turns have the same interests of finding the Holy Grail. Together they uncover the mysteries of the Quest later to found out the greatest mystery of all.

 

C. Review/Criticism - the film was great and so was the casting. What more can you ask for nice performances by such award-winning actors like Tom Hanks and Ian Mckellen, plus supporting casts of Alfred Molina, Paul Bettany and French actor Jean-Reno (I like this guy!). I expected the movie to be serious throughout the whole movie but the usual Tom Hanks just can't help throwing some joke or two on some occassions. It runs a good plot for a suspense-thriller-drama movie until it comes to a part when it was becoming religious - where Robert defines religious faith for any believer. The movie was very good the way the storyline was created especially when clues are revealed one after the other. You can really sense that the movie wanted to follow the plot of the book by slowly introducing and making clear the information about how the clues are related one from each other. It most likely draw the same interests as with the same movies like Indiana Jones or The Treasure - minus the action but with a lot of suspense. It was a good movie although it really gives a lot of indirect revelations about the history of the Christian church and the works which most likely would be interpreted as a criticism for the Catholic Church. It draws some parallelism to the christian belief of protestants which most likely have reservations in the way they believe in their counterparts - the Catholics. Although the climax of the movie (No spoilers! Watch it!) was created with little bit of fiction-combined-theory-researched, it most likely have a little nudge to your christian faith as a whole - not because you would most likely not believe in Christ but rather put your faith in a situation where you most likely wanted to have much more reason on why you want to believe. Congrats to Ron Howard and the whole cast for putting a very good movie as well as Dan Brown for creating a little bit of imagination-combined-research (or is it?) story that will inspire us all.

 

D. Rating 9.5/10 Great Movie. I was so engulfed by the movie that I wanted to watch it again and again. but somehow I have that feeling that I could not give it a perfect 10, just don't know why - probably bec. of the fiction thing (which is the climax of the story - whether you may believe or not). Better yet, a 9.5 would fit it in my taste.

X-Men: The Last Stand

 

Synopsis: A cure for the mutant gene is found. Jean Grey rises from her grave. Magneto brings together a small army of mutants. Dark Phoenix rises.

 

Review: Overall, an exciting and enjoyable film. Considering this movie is geared for the younger crowd, much of the action actually surprised me because of its simplistic brutality (wolverine slashing other mutants, mystique killing her guard, dark phoenix disintegrating so many soldiers, etc). Special FX was done nicely, moving the story along instead of being the star (as it should).

 

As an action-packed summer popcorn movie, you really shouldn't be looking for more. As the third movie of the X-men trilogy though, it just plain....sucks. Compared to the last 2 movies, this film lacks characterization and emotion. It's like events are happening without any repercussions to the characters. I hated the fact that a main character dies so early on in the movie, and yet his death was never truly addressed or mourned. I hate the fact that some characters aren't true to their comic book roots (Juggernaut shouldn't be a mutant! He's also Xavier's step-brother!). Most of all, I hate the scene where the X-men take down the Dark Phoenix. The ultimate climactic scene in the movie, which should have been so emotional actually felt empty (and cheesy).

 

But that's just me. I'm a fan, so I'm probably the hardest person to please. But damnit! X2 proved you can make a movie that can please the fans and everyone else! Why not this one? Simple. Because director Bryan Singer gave up X3 for Superman.

[djrs]

Guys! wag kayo aalis hanggat di pa natatapos ang Cast abd Credit sa Huli ok? may ipapalabas sa huli! SUlit ang pera sa XMEN3!!!

In the MI3 movie, I'm just wondering why they skipped the hard part when Ethan was getting the rabbit's foot from a supposedly heavily-guarded building. they just killed the guards on the roof and that's it. No gadgettry, no hanging on wires...

moments of love- halos pareho ng kwento from one of the movies of ken zhu (f4) nakalimutan ko ung title eh.

 

Da vinci code- the novel as a fiction was good. at ang pelikula ay tapat sa prosa. pero may mga elemento na dimaganda sa pelikula. crappy acting si sophie. pa"cool" effect ung movie. at masyadong ineexplain sa viewer ang mga pangyayari. kulang pa sa effort on other means of story telling.

 

a movie should show not tell.

 

too busy pa to see xmen3.

- My X-Men 3 : The Last Stand Review-

 

First of all since brian singer didnt direct the film unlike X1 & X2,

I hated the line " Dont you know who I am? Im Juggernaut B****! "

I Dont think I've ever headr Jug say that ever even in the cartoon

Juggernauts voice is so lame in my opinion.

Although Rogue did nto have any action to do, she was always err..

 

I hope they would continue on X4

Coz Im afraid Magneto didnt lose his powers due to the cure, and I'd like to see more

Colossus,Nightcrawler action & some piece of Gambit cajun!

Too bad cameo of gambit was all they could do

And last but not least;

there was something wrong about how Professor X supposedly dies but didnt.

In the film, he got disintegrated by Jean (possessed by the Pheonix), but in the cartoon/comics Professor X didnt die because of Jean,

 

All in all, great film, but for fans only.

Not recommended

4/10

 

X Men 4 announced?

 

 

taken from http://www.themovieblog.com/archives/2006/...rms_xmen_4.html

 

espite the stupid title "X-Men: The Last Stand", Fox Head Tom Rothman has all but confirmed that there will indeed be an X-Men 4, and probably more after that as well. Now it's all well and good for him to say that now... but if X-Men 3 is a bomb (which we all know it won't be... even if it sucks) then those words will be quickly eaten.

 

So why the title "The Last Stand" then? Well, according to the good folks over at Movie Hole, Rothman offers the following explanation:

 

“It's the conclusion of this trilogy. These three movies work as a trilogy. These characters in this relationship, it's the culmination of that saga. It's the culmination and the resolution of those relationships laid out in the first two movies. That doesn't mean never, I would ever say never again, but I will say that this brings that saga to an end. It's quite the way the last Lord of the Rings, Return of the King, brought that trilogy to a conclusion in terms of those characters, that's what this movie does. It goes all the way back to the first one and rounds off and completes that three-part story”.

 

Perhaps someone should tell Rothman that the end of the Lord of the Rings was indeed actually the end of the whole series. He might have missed that part.

 

So all this talk of "this is the end of THIS saga". This particular story line in X-Men is indeed finished... but there are more to come. Heck... the Wolverine spinoff is basically going to be X-Men 4 with a new title. Make no mistake... there will be MANY more X-Movies.

 

I personally still have major reservations about the next X-Men film... but my hope has risen over the last month. Let's hope it works out. Thus far the X-Men have been my favorite comic film franchise (yes, even more than Spider-Man) and I'd hate to see it go down the toilet.

in my opinion though...X3 could've been done better....

 

regarding the Phoenix saga,the apparent deaths of leading characters(prof.x,jean grey and scott summers)in the movie...

 

concerning the deaths of main characters...it doesn't work if main characters come back from the dead...it might work once for one character (phoenix) but if they make another movie...how are they suppose to explain the return of prof.X and cyclops ( they were killed by phoenix in x3 )...and if they allow the return of cyclops and xavier..how about the other mutanst AND humans who got killed off by phoenix...

 

i dont know how they're gonna pull that one off....

xmen 3.

 

inconsistent. effects was nice. Phoenix looked good but Mystique looks better

 

*spoiler warning*

 

couple of things i noticed. Comments are most welcome as well as answers.

 

1. Im not sure who the girl with super speed is but i remember the one who can detect other mutants' and their powers is Caliban and HE is part of the Morlocks as well.

2. When Magneto was told of someone with powers higher than level 5 he instantly referred to Phoenix as a she. The girl didnt even tell her that what she detected was a female. This is unless he knew that it was Jean Grey since he was with Xavier when they went there.

3. Juggernaut shouldn't have been affected by Leech's power, leech affects mutants and Juggernaut is not a mutant. He derives his powers from the Ruby of Cytorrak.

4. Juggernaut and Prof. X are step-brothers bakit wala man lng reaction si Juggernaut kay Prof. X when Juggernaut hates Prof. X so much and always gives him a tongue lashing whenever they meet. He never fails to make snide remarks against his "brother" whenever he can. Id prefer the Classic orange Juggernaut armor as well, not the gladiator/barbarian look he has in the movie with the funny helmet

5. I like Wolverine pero he seems to be uber-strong in this series. Shot to the head, got near phoenix without burning instantaneously, with her rate of combusting the other mutants he should have dissipated instanly without time to heal, stabbed lotsa times, metal scraps running scraping his head. In the comics i remember it takes him quite a while to recover from his wounds thats why wolverine sometimes appears with bandages (i assume n wounds un kc d nman pwde broken bones since adamantium cya ), in this movie i dont think he will never need a bandage since he heals so fast, too fast actually

6. Bakit nawala ung Magnetic Shield ni Magneto. Like dun s X:Men Children of the Atom hehe. Whenever that shield is up there is nothing/no one that can get near him.

Shot to the head, got near phoenix without burning instantaneously, with her rate of combusting the other mutants he should have dissipated instanly without time to heal, stabbed lotsa times, metal scraps running scraping his head. In the comics i remember it takes him quite a while to recover from his wounds thats why wolverine sometimes appears with bandages (i assume n wounds un kc d nman pwde broken bones since adamantium cya ), in this movie i dont think he will never need a bandage since he heals so fast, too fast actually

6. Bakit nawala ung Magnetic Shield ni Magneto. Like dun s X:Men Children of the Atom hehe. Whenever that shield is up there is nothing/no one that can get near him.

yes, I really hate the scene where wolverine tries to get close to phoenix and he only get to burn in the upper portion of his body like the face and the chest. how come his leathered pants didn't burn at all as what has happened to his shirt? not fair at all, harang hehehhehehe ano yun censored na kse heheheh uli

yup, there was a "pahabol scene"... i was a bit surprised nga when i saw a quick, almost like 1 minute scene of a nurse and a patient after the credits when all along i thought wala na. remember the scene when prof. x was having a lesson with the mutant kids and then when he was about to expain something on tv with the nurse and a patient covered with gauze all over his body and was then kinda disrupted by storm kaya he instead dismissed the class? that scene on tv, the nurse seemed to have been attacked by the patient yun lang yon.
