The MOVIE REVIEW Thread

[jologsparin]

"The Village" started out well and ang dami mo nang expectations. Unfortunately, the ending wasa downer for me. Parang "Signs" and "Unbreakable." You expect a lot and get disappointed with the ending. Nothing beats Shyamalan's "Sixth Sense."

yung Alien VS predator..panget..b movie...kung gusto mo ng b movie na kulang kulang sa plotting pwede na!

[jopoc]

talaga pare di maganda? wanted to watch it this week with the kumander e...para kasing kami yun ako yung predator siya naman yung Alien..

 

the Alamo? old or the new?

yup, AVP was too much overrated. if you have seen those typical adventure movies where a several people enter a building, pyramid, etc, and one by one dies, until the only survivor is the lead character, then you have seen AVP.

 

the new alamo, i didnt have the chance to see john wayne movies.

 

i have seen the movie only, the story was not bad, except for some few dragging moments. id say its 8 0f 10.

 

avp, 6 of 10

saw ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND (pirated DVD). Jim "Ace Ventura" Carrey, Kate "Rose Dawson" Winslet, Kirsten "MJ Watson" Dunst and Elijah "Frodo" Wood. Erasing someone from your mind just became the setting in this movie.

 

Tom Wilkinson (In The Bedroom) as Dr. Mierzwiak, inventor of the mind erasing technology, is contacted by Jim Carrey to have his girlfriend (Kate Winslet) erased from his memory.

 

Interesting premise but the technical aspect of the film e.g. erratic camera movements and the film's color palette/hues of three colors (red, blue-green and yellow) are puffed-up making the film tedious and uninteresting/unappealing. It could have been something more in astonishment if it were done in a grander scale in terms of budget. The memory erasing device looks crude....nagtitipid yata mga producers

Thunder birds - great effects. More of a family story, hindi gaanong exposed yung ibang Tracy. Si Allan lang talaga ang maximized dito.

ALIEN VS PREDATOR

The movie was fair enough in terms of special effects and animations pero parang bitin yung action and there are scenes in the movie thar are to shoddy, di mo na halos alam kung ano ang nangyayari. In terms of the story's plot, mababaw yung dating. Mas may thrill pa rin yung mga naunang alien movies w/sigourney weaver. you can really feel the atmosphere of the movie compared to AVP. If you're a fan of watching horror movies during the weekends, AVP would do just fine.

The movie is OK, there are a few surprises. I think it will be a good movie if only the MTRCB didn't cut some death scenes. My rating is 3/5.
