Chaos Theory

 

 

The movie stars Ryan Reynolds. You'd expect that this movie would be a subpar movie and it kinda is. But it's not as disappointing as you'd think it will be if you just lower your expectations. It's actually enjoyable. This movie is about someone who's so well-organized that he writes everything that he needs to do in index cards. One day, his wife ruins his routine and this sets in motion of chain of events which then leads Reynolds to succumb to his whims rather than avoid it.

Decent movie. 3.5/5

just saw righteous k*ll, starring bobby de niro and al pacino.

 

major let down for me on two fronts.

 

first, it was a let down on the acting front. this is probably my fault since i had high expectations. but truly, who could blame me? after heat, the more recent movie the two aforementioned screen bigs starred in together, people, including myself, wished that these two legends had more screen time together. as an answer to this, at least partly, righteous k*ll was made. however, the much anticipated fireworks bet. de niro and pacino did not materialize. as a general rule, i believe in the adage of "less is more" in acting. in this movie though, i wanted more. and much, much more.

 

second, the plot is so thin that you would've guessed what was going to happen faster than if somebody who has seen the movie actually told you what was to happen. i just felt that as a vehicle for both acting greats al and bobby to star in, the story sholud've been more intricate, more interesting, and the movie, a better production as a whole.

 

if a rating must be given, i'd give it 2 out 5 stars.

 

it's my first movie review. pardon my rant.

Max Payne

Director: John Moore

Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis, Beau Bridges, Chris O'Donnell, Ludacris, Amaury Nolasco, Olga Kurylenko

 

-"gunfight" thumbs-up!

- story has a twist similar to "Robocop 2" (is that it? it's all about drugs? -- you took the words right outta my mouth, mona)

- why k*ll off the hottie?! natasha is so hot!

- after revealing the "twist", movie became predictable

- liked it anyway, 4/5

the strangers (liv tyler, scott speedman)

 

this movie was somewhat terrifying at first. especially leading to the "gulat moments". the anticipation kills you. pero after that, wala na. the movie will make you scratch your head in the end.

 

3/5 for me.
