johnnydrama Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 iron man was good. i liked the way it was done. the SUIT case was awesome. one thing i noticed was during black widow's fight scene with the henchmen, everytime she took one out they had to make her pose. weird. all in all it was a really good movie. ill watch it again this week. What do they think of Black Widow? Daig pa sa Power Ranger mag-pose ..... Quote Link to comment

Itto Ogami Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 i'd rate LOSERS 3 out of 5.nice action scenes, but no character development.i can't relate to Clay or the other guys. compare it with Liam Neeson's TAKEN.the first part showed his background -yung detachment nya from his family,his pain seeing his ex-wife and childbeing taken cared of by another man. kitang-kita mo yung motivation nyaonce he starts mowing down the bad guys.

ReDBaByBuRn Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 ROBINHOOD during the first part mejo nakakaantok and the way he characters spoke...mejo mahirap intindihin kase then do not pronounce words in a good way...almost half open mouth sila magsalita.. but in the end...during the battles and the complications...gumanda na... ill giev it a 2 out of 5...

kanski Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 (edited) prince of persia- non-stop action. good plot, particularly for game-based movies. good story telling. visually stimulating sets and costumes. hot girl. emphasis on hot girl. highly recommended. shrek 4- least funny episode of the series (and i thought it couldn't get worse than the third). but still good for a dozen laughs. witty writing we got used to particularly with the first two editions shows up every so often. animation still top notch. with added bonus of 3-d. still recommended.

RiverJordan Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Unthinkable I watched this the other day and I was confused as to why this release went straight to BluRay but according to IMDB it hasn't been released yet. Anyway, it seems Hollywood cannot produce enough films about terrorists and this movie is no different. Samuel L. Jackson plays a black ops interrogator who is commisioned to extract information from a man who claims to have deployed nuclear bombs around the country. It's a psychological thriller, it's fast-paced & it keeps you on the edge of your seat. It asks to justify the extreme lengths that a human being would go through in order to achieve the greater good, hence the title Unthinkable. This isn't really a feel good movie so try not to watch it with your kids. I'd rate this movie 7.5/10 - SLJ is always entertaining and is worth at least 4 stars out of the 7.5 Quote Link to comment

johnnydrama Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 The A-Team is really good, lots of great action and also some humor. highly recommended! It's an easy toss-up between two re-dos...The Karate Kid with Jackie Chan filling in for Pat Morita (RIP)'s incomparable Mr. Miyagi...and The A-Team with Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper et al. filling in the roles from the iconic 80's TV show (which I used to catch on GMA-7 as a kid...Star World once reran it in the mornings round 10am) The action is relentless - if not a tad bit OTT (but wasn't the original TV series also???). Their MacGyveresque resourcefulness (face it - they pre-dated MacGyver by around 3-4 years) in constructing booby-traps out of everyday scraps is still very much there. The writers manage to amp the violence and language to meet the scale of the big screen - yet never forget to throw in a number of tributes for the hardcore fanbois out there (check out the end credits, you'll know what I mean) I'd rate The A-Team an "A" for "Awwwwweeee-sommmmme!!!!!"

asmodeus Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 (edited) KARATE KID 2010 BASIC PLOT DRE PARKER (jaden Smith) had to move to china because his mother's work in a car factory requires them to do so. Upon arrival to their new apartment, DRE managed to immediately befriend a cacucasian boy and got invited to shoot a few hoops at the nearby playground. Failing at both basketball and (eventually) ping pong as one of the elder players in the playground made mince meat out of his table tennis skills. DRE decideds to focus his energy in impressing this young chinese girl named MEI YING. DRE was actually getting into the groove already as he was strutting his dance moves much to the delight of MEI YING. Unfortunately, the party didn't last as a couple of young bullies headed by CHENG came by and started taking roughshots at MEI YING. DRE tried to intervene but got his butt kicked by CHENG who turned out to be quite skillfull in martial arts. And compounding his woes, the school that DRE enrolled in is the same school that the bullies and CHENG go to. Naturally during the next few days, DRE gets bullied on again and again. But for some strange reason, given that DRE is at a disadvantage, he still thought up of a mischiveous prank in which the bullies got doused with dirty water thereby resulting in a chase along the alleys with DRE finally getting cornerned near his apartment and getting beaten to a pulp. Worse injuries for the young DRE would have been inflicted if not for the timely rescue of MR. HAN (played by jackie chan) who is the apartment's maintenance man, but who happens to be a kung-fu master. The young bullies were no match for MR. HAN as he toyed with their martial arts while in the process of getting themselves beaten up. MR. HAN then took the young DRE inside to tend to his injuries. DRE was able to convince MR. HAN to accompany him to the kung fu school where CHENG and the other bullies were studying so as to make peace with them as well as the Master who was teaching them kung fu. Of course the kung-fu master would have none of it as his philosophy is more rooted on "No mercy". MR. HAN was able to buy some time by proposing to have DRE fight his students in an upcoming kung fu tournament....... so to make a long story short, Mr. HAN trained DRE in the art of kung fu. They entered the tournament and eventually won the tournament. (spolier ba???? hahahaha) ORIGINAL or REMAKE To those who have watched the original Karate Kid as played Ralph Macchio, this remake will definitly look familiar. (except probably for the new cast and the difference in location.) Below are some of the familiar scenes...... both movies started with the main characters being newbies in an unfamiliar place. (the original movie was in a different town/city, while the remake was in a different country)both heroes hit it off great with their love interest of the movie when they initially met. Only to be interrupted by bullies.both heroes tried to learn martial arts the easy way (original via book while the remake via instructions on TV)both heroes tried to look for a martial arts school only to find out that their nemesis is the prized student in said schoolwhile the initial training methods does seem a bit irrelevant as far as learning martial arts is concerned (wax-on, wax-off for the original and jacket-on jacket-off for the remake) the heroes eventually learned its purpose after the masters has shown it to them.both karate/kung fu masters have a drunken scene. (forgot what Mr. miyagi of the original movie was getting drunk about) but Mr. HAN was getting drunk because he misses his loved ones who perished due to a vehicular accidentDuring the semi-finals, the karate/kung fu master employed the use of a dirty tactic by forcing his other student, who was to face the hero, to use an illegal move to render his opponent severely injured and getting himself disqualified in the process.when all seems lost, Mr. Miyagi/Mr. Han employed some sort of of secret healing technique which gave the heroes a last chance to face their nemesis in the championship.when the villians lost in their championship match against the heroes, they displayed sportmanship by personally handing the championship trophy to the winner. In the remake, as an added twist, CHENG as well as the rest of the bullies approached Mr. HAN and acknowledged their defeat to his student. (much to the embarrassment of their own kung fu master) ---------------------------------------- The fight scenes are definitly more violent than the original version. Even during the tournament wherein hitting the face with fists is allowed to earn a point. Then there are scenes in which the kids, after receiving a kick, gets flown off the mat....... One can't help but think that its kinda hard for 12 year olds to be able to execute and endure that kind of punishment. The finishing move used by DRE was a little over the top for someone who started learning kung fu only for a few weeks (months at the most) but it sure was fun to watch. JADEN SMITH is a joy to watch ...... a lot of the way he talks and moves is somewhat a clone of his father (will smith). I wouldn't be surprised if this kid grew up to be a better actor than WILL. Overall I enjoyed this feel good movie very much. So good that I wouldn't mind going for seconds ..... it was made well enough that even if I somehow knew the outcome of the story, I'm still getting the goose bumps especially during the final fight.

friedkamote Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 The A-Team 9/10 A great remake/reboot of a classic 80's TV series. The movie captured most of the quirks and comedy of the old cast (Dirk Benedict et al.) including their mannerisms. For those unfamiliar with the TV series the group were portrayed as Vietnam War veterans framed for a crime they didnt commit and constantly being chased by the military. The choice of chartacters to play B.A. Barracus, Face, and Murdoch where dead-on. I previously held reservations about Liam Neeson being cast as Hannibal Smith, but after watching the movie my complaints and skepticism stopped. Non-stop action, funny dialogue, good plot....A great movie all around. Its a trip down memory lane for people who where big fans of the original tv series. Those new to the A-Team won't get lost since the movie tackles their origins as well (albeit updated for modern times). Go out and watch it! Quote Link to comment

Jackie Chan can really act and not just be funny like the "Rush Hour" series... he's a good second coming of Mr. Miyagi (Chinese version)... hope they wont suck in the sequel though...heard Will Smith is not closin the door on lettin his son do a sequel with jackie... why not go to japan for the sequel and rediscover real karate this time? hehe...nah, that's not Mr. Han's forte then... maybe they can go to Chinatown and meet bad guy Jet Li (Lethal Weapon 4-style) and the triads...nah.. for now, families should enjoy watchin' this...especially parents who have kids who always throw their stuff (jacket, hehe) on the floor and not pickin' it up... wont hurt too if u buy the DVD...and a plus for justin bieber fans, he's on the soundtrack with rapper jaden smith (he's so followin' will' lead from actor-to-rapper-to-actor again)...
