The MOVIE REVIEW Thread


Recommended Posts

Ok na din ang flyboys just for the fact that it's one of the rare WW1 dogfight movies out there. It basically follows the typical formula for this genre: a rebellious but talented protagonist, a cute chick for the hero, the token black guy, a 'loser' who turns out to be the savior at the end, and an ace enemy pilot that the hero dispatches in a non-traditional way.

 

It's worth viewing at least once...

I just saw The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning a few hours ago.

 

The most brutal of all the "Chainsaw" films, it's a lot better than the stupid remake. It got grisly and graphic in this slaughterhouse. You get sledgehammer beatings several times, head blown off with a shotgun, arms and face skinned, meathook in chest, tongue cut out, broken teeth, throat slit, ran over by car, cut up by chainsaw and many more.

 

If you want to watch a good old fashion blood and guts horror movie then see TCM the beginning. The Best Movie of 2006. Christmas came early this year!

 

:evil:

 

 

Nekromantik described the movie as it is. One brutal movie indeed.

 

Medyo di lang maganda yung pagkakapatay kay Jordana Brewster. Parang nag teleport si Leatherface sa loob nung car.

 

Nevertheless, a must see movie. :thumbsupsmiley:

Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning

 

This is where it all started. In this prequel to the remake of the original "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", we return to the house where the massacre begins to unfold. A disfigured child is born, thrown in a dumpster, then found and cared for by a psychopathic family. The movie simply answers all the whys and provides you with Leatherface's history. It gives us some interesting insight to the history of our villains and plunges into a terrifying tale of madness and survival. This movie answered a few questions about the Hewitt family from the previous movie, including how Hoyt became a Sheriff and lost his teeth, how Monty looses his legs, why the family are cannibals and how Thomas gains his obsession for his chainsaw and began murdering people.

 

The violence in this film is extreme, the whole movie was a blood fest. This movie is completely brutal and filled with graphic killing. Easily the most brutal of all the TCM films, this movie is gorier and bloodier. The story is well done, great character development, the actors were all great, and the film was thrilling the entire way through. From start to finish you will be entertained. The movie was far more intense and scary than the remake. It has everything a horror film should have.

 

R. Lee Ermey gets more screen time in this movie than in the remake, and he was brutal, nasty, mean and sadistic. He motivates Thomas to go from cutting animal meat to cutting human meat. Andrew Bryniarski is fantastic as Leatherface as he was in the 2003 version. Leatherface is much scarier in this movie than in the remake, he acts much more violent in this movie.

 

The infamous dinner scene also gets recreated in this prequel. There is even a detailed mask making by Leatherface, we finally get to see him making his mask. If you're a fan of the original and 2003 remake of TCM, you'll definitely love this one. This movie has surely lived up to its hype. Be warned, this is not a friendly movie. It's so dark, disturbing, dramatic, and just plain sick, and that's what a horror movie should be. In my opinion, this is the second best in the entire TCM series. The best movie of 2006, so far. Highly recommended!

The Guardian

 

Starring: Kevin Costner, Ashton Kutcher

 

Great movie, even though the ratings were low, it isn't a disappointment..

it's like a combination of Kevin Costner Films+Top Gun story... it's all about the US Coast Guard.... Good plot, good acting by both Costner and Kutcher (though you can anticipate his comedy face) blended with a good story... there is drama, action, romance and comedy in this one.

 

rating: 4 out of 5....

THE PRESTIGE

 

just saw this one last night...

 

i guess the reason why people don't like it is because

(1) it's not a RELAXING movie...you have to be attentive or you'll miss the details; my friend actually found it STRESSFUL

(2) the dialogue is sometimes hard to understand...i don't know if its the accents or the fact that my ears were still ringing from the metallica tribute concert i went to the other night. i was actually wishing for subtitles.

(3) it's a bit slow; the only "action" parts were the water* and the lightning.

 

but it's not a "bobo", spoonfeeding, action-packed film. don't expect wolverine, batman (and his butler) , and gollum to go at it.

 

 

if you like the "Twilight Zone" and other psychological thrillers, and you like david blaine and david copperfield, you'll appreciate this one. my friends and i were discussing the plot way, WAY after the movie ended. who was the REAL bad guy? did ____ really know there was a ____??? did ____ really tie the _____??? why did ____ _____ _____ _____.... ??? etc etc etc.

 

 

overall, a good film for the smarter, thinking set. watch it if you have the time to spare and time to think, during and after the flick.

 

 

....are you watching closely? :)

 

 

p.s. watch out for the cameo of a famous rock star!

Watched 2 (or was it 3) flicks last week. The Prestige and the Grudge 2 o and the Guardian pa pala. Ubos tuloy pera ko. Haha...Anyways, all cool flicks in my opinion. Sulit naman yung binayad ko.

 

My take on the 3 films.

 

The Guardian - uhhh raaa... a bit predictable but nice.

 

The Prestige - Scarlett Johansson was there so it was all worth it. :P

Both Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman played their parts convincingly. the movie was a bit confusing at times but I was able to patch things up in the end...I think. :lol:

 

The Grudge 2 - Some scary parts but not as freaky as the Japanese version. It still made me peek at my rear view mirror though while I was driving home. :P

so mga bro... ano verdict sa The Prestige? How do you rate it?

 

I was a bit confused by the reviews made here about "The Prestige" that's why I'm having 2nd thoughts...

 

I was just so surprised that movie critics are giving it a thumbs up rating which can be comparable to "The Departed"...

 

additional info naman jan mga bro...

If you want a film that makes you think about it and not simply look at it, this is a film for you...

 

The least you can say about The Prestige is it is an ambitious project in terms of storytelling...
