Silent Hill Revelation: Now Showing in the Philippines

We have two horror movies showing in the Philippines right now, one is the Paranormal Activity 4, shown since last week, and this new one, Silent Hill Revelation .  I know a couple of people, who will watch this movie on its first week being shown in the Philippines.

It has a MTRCB rating of R16.  I don't know if they censored a lot to pass a certain criteria, but it is currently R16 and is only shown in some theaters.

The synopsis is that a girl has to go back to silent hill to save her father.  Pyramid head, looks cool in the trailer, but that character is darn scary.

24/7 in Love is now showing in the Philippines

Guess what, I was not aware of this movie in the works at all.  It has an all star cast, trying to shoot fishes in a barrel using a shotgun.  I guess they want to make money so bad, that they try to have all the stars in one movie, and have the fans of different stars watch it.  This is a Star Cinema movie, a Philippine film with Filipino casts.

Guess who's in the movie: Bea Alonzo & Zanjoe Marudo, Angelica Panganiban & John Lloyd Cruz, Daniel Padilla & Kathryn Bernardo, Diether Ocampo & Maja Salvador, Gerald Anderson & Kim Chiu,  Piolo Pascual, Pokwang & Sam Milby, Xyriel Manabat, Zaijian Jaranilla, and others.

They say John Lapus is in the movie, but not in the poster.

It's an anthology movie, love stories in a world coming to an end.  It's like the movie Seeking a Friend for  the End of the World.  Yeah, hope they make lots of money on this one, seeing they are banking on an end of the world story.

Twilight: Breaking Dawn part 2 is now showing in the Philippines

I'm sure all are aware that the last installment of the Twilight movie franchise is now showing in the Philippines.

The Review can be seen on clickthecity.com link http://www.clickthecity.com/movies/?p=16870. I'm not gonna make a review of this film, since I will also be flamed by the fans.  Don't believe me?  Read the review from the clickthecity.com film critic and see how many comments/replies are there.  Usually there are only 2 or 3, but this film has multiple reply and comments.

Wreck-It Ralph: Now Showing in the Philippines

I'm looking forward to watching this movie.  It looks good and awesome seeing very nostalgic popular video game characters come to life on the big screen.

Wreck-It Ralph is now showing in the Philippines.  It's about an arcade video game villain (Bad Guy), that feels unappreciated.

I'll write a review once I see it in cinemas.  Hopefully, I'll be able to watch it on its first week.

Skyfall Review

I was able to watch Skyfall on its first week shown in cinemas.  What do I think of it?  Does it deliver on what it has shown on trailers?  Let's find out in my review.

In a nutshell, without spoiling anything about the movie, here is what I have to say:

I got sleepy during the movie, it is a typical James Bond movie, but instead of him saving the western civilization, they give you a bit of a background on James Bond as a person, instead of just a spy.  

The action sequence is good, it is an action film.  Daniel Craig delivers a great believable James Bond.  The villain is your typical James Bond villain (crazy & a bit stupid). 

I give it a 3.5 stars out of 5 stars.  

Why? Because, I almost fell asleep during the movie.  Even if I did, you wont miss much, the villain is a bit flat, the danger is not that imminent .

A bit of spoiler here so, do not read beyond this point if you prefer to find it out for yourself.

First off, the trailer is a bit misleading.  You'd hope it is the whole story, when in fact that action sequence you saw on the trailer is the first 15 minutes outtakes of the film.

The latest take they have on the James Bond Franchise, has been on the personal side of James Bond, how I miss the Pierce Brosnan type of James Bond.  They show, James Bond in a different light, with a bit of his past known to us.  Let's just say, it's a reboot of the franchise.  If you plan to watch more James Bond with Daniel Craig as the lead, then this will be a good start for you.

Old cast and story will be totally thrown out, let us prepare for a new take on 007.  Hope they do better next time, but I won't be watching it on the cinema.  I have a standard for block buster movies, and it it the latest Mission Impossible directed by Brad Bird (director of the Pixar: The Incredibles).  If that is not met, then the movie gets a 3 star or less.

James Bond - Skyfall: Now Showing in the Philippines

This is the most anticipated James Bond movie for me.  I usually don't care much for James Bond movies, but this one has me curious about the story.  Hope I don't get disappointed when I watch it on its second week, since it is a holiday in the Philippines on Nov 1 & 2.

Skyfall is now showing in most cinemas in the Philippines.  I'll give my review, when I get a chance to watch it, hopefully soon.

Argo movie review

This was not an expected movie to watch for me.  I wasn't expecting to enjoy this film at all when we entered the cinema.  I looked at the poster, what do I see? Ben Affleck as the main lead, I have not enjoyed any movie of Ben Afflect as a lead actor since Daredevil.  The poster does not tell me anything, nor does it make me want to see the movie.  The movie wasn't even promoted in the Philippines.  It was just there, no one knows what it is, nor there was any hype about it.

Since, I already watched Looper, there was nothing else to watch except this movie.  I was not expecting anything from this movie, no one mentioned it to me, or recommend it as a must watch.

From the start of the movie, you know it's a period movie, say late 1970's- early 1980's.  It started good and ended good as well.  Everything was nice, the location, the costume, the set pieces, the actors.  Let me just say, this movie shows Ben Afflect can direct a movie, a good one at that.

So, do I recommend this as a watch for the weekend? Definitely a must watch for me.  This movie, is better than the Three Stooges showing in cinemas right now.  It's a 5 stars out of 5 stars for me.  At the end credits, they show, the scenes and the original photos of the real events and people along side of the movie scenes and actors.

If you, like Saving Private Ryan, or political dramas based on true stories then you will also like this movie.  Not a boring moment for me on this movie.  A highly recommended movie, for me.
