The Movie Fan

One of the reasons why it took me to have a 3 hours session with our consultant it is because I’ve watched a movie together with his wife and friend in their house while waiting for him to arrive. And the movie that we watched was .

And i like it so much because Jackie Chan is the lead role. Probably the best movie I’ve ever seen from him was Who Am I. I still don’t know if there will be another movie of him in the future that I could say can surpass it or even equate it. So let’s now proceed.

I like this movie not only because of its fight scenes, good story and a cute Louis Koo but also because of the baby named as Matthew Medvedev, so cute and adorable.(Nahhh!) Oh how i wish i could have a baby someday as cute and as adorable like him. Even though he is still a baby I could clearly see that he will grow so full of talents, intelligence and everything. Hehehheehhehe….Babies always make my heart so happy that’s why I’m super excited to have a baby someday but not now since I am still studying. hhehehehehhee..

By the way to be honest, i have not able to finish watching this movie because our consultant arrived. It was the climax of the story already when he arrived so I have to talk to him because our thesis is more important. Anyways, if you like to  know more of this movie you better check it out here, ok? Heheheheheh…

This movie is kinda old because it was first shown on the year 1995. I bought it from Video City for only 35 pesos but it was just actually a replacement for the movie The Lakehouse, starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock.

Before Sunrise is a bit boring movie because almost the whole time the two main characters who are Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy were just talking, sharing their thoughts on different issues like love, family, women and others. But the story is good because these two people are strangers who met on the train. They were able to get to talk to each other when Julie transferred a seat after irritated by two couples who fight each other. And that’s how it started, they began to be interested with each other.

And when the train reached almost reached Vienna, Ethan was able to made a decision. To invite July to come with him and leave before Sunrise. Together they visited and toured places of Vienna and fell for each other but when the time comes that they part for each other they promised that they will meet after 6 months.

Ohhh…gosssh…im excited to watch for the part 2 of this movie. As a rating, i give it 3/5!

On my movies to be watched I am Legend, The Quiet, The Sleeping Dictionary and Valentine had entries already. This time around it will be the National Treasure: Book of Secrets. The movie was a sequel to the 2004 National treasure who’s lead role was performed by no other than Nicolas Cage, one of my favorite Hollywood actors.

It’s the same thing, finding a treasure but i don’t like this movie that much. I prefer the first movie because I like the action scenes, the thrills and all that stuff. I was not really contented watching the movie. I was looking for something more especially when they experienced the traps and the flooding water. On the contrary, I like the fact that Ben sacrifice himself just to save others but if you are asking if he die in this movie of course not. He has even cleared his family’s name with the discovery and was cleared of all charges when the President told everyone that Ben saved his life.

Ratings: 3/5!

I find this movie not good, a bit boring and not scary at all though it has a good moral.

Here’s a short description of this movie taken from Wikipedia:  

Will Smith stars in the film directed by Francis Lawrence, released on December 14, 2007. This movie also deviates from the original novel. The infection is caused by a virus originally intended to cure cancer. However, some vampiric elements are retained, such as sensitivity to UV light and attraction to blood.

I’ve paid 70 pesos as a fine for this movie because it was overdue. I just borrowed the VCD in a local video house. Gosshh…but its worth watching anyway. I super like the plot and the two main cast who were Elisha Cutbert from the famous tv series 24 and Camilla Belle.

Camilla as Dot was pretending to be deaf and mute in this movie. The family of Elisha has a dark secret. When Dot was adopted she has to deal with this issues. She become as if the sounding board of the problems of everbody.

I am not good at giving the summary and review so just check it out here.  For the ratings it would be 5/5! Congratulations!

I just got my membership card from Video City(Buhangin) a week ago and the first 6 movies that i borrowed were Memoirs of Geisha, Step-up, Sleeping Dictionary, The Terminal, Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants and 13 going 30. Of all them, Sleeping Dictionary is what i find most beautiful to watch. I like the story and i super like the main characters and of course, the romance and all that passion. Whew! Anyways, to give you an additional info about Sleeping Dictionary (aside from those that you will find in the internet) I have here a short overview.

Jessica Alba speaks the language of seduction in this tantalizing story of forbidden loveset agains the backdrop of the steamy jungles of 1930’s Sarawak.

A beautiful tribeswoman (Alba) becomes both concubine and language tutor to a young English colonial (Hugh Dancy), and in the heat of the jungle their passion grows into a forbidden love affair. But the lovers are forced to separate after they are threatened defying duty and tradition. When the young man returns a year later with his new bride, the heat of passion reignites and intensifies as secrets surface that are as deep and dark as the jungles that those who keep them inhabit. - from the text found on the VCD

I give this movie 5/5! Congratulations!

I bought 10 original VCDs in a video store because they are on sale on those old movies that they have and Valentine is one of the movie i have chosen and watched. Looking at the cover of the VCD and reading the text on it, somehow i was intrigued. More intrigue because Valentines Day is fast approaching. Hehehhehehehe….

Anyways, this movie was first shown last 2001. 7 years had already passed? Where was i that time that i wasn’t able to watch this movie? Good thing that i was not able to watch it in the big screen because it would be more of a waste of money. Am i that mean? It was not really worth watching. Not scary and i don’t like the story at all. Sort of shallow and i regret buying the VCD.

Few hours ago, I watched this movie.

The Prince and Me story is just very simple. A college student meets and falls in love with her classmate (an exchange student) who happens to be Danish Prince. She doesn’t know that because Eddie disguised as a regular guy at the university where they are studying.

The two main characters are Paige (Julia Stiles) and Eddie/Prince (Luke Mably). The nice thing about this movie is it tells us that girls fantasy could come true. Like in the case of Paige, she was able to marry someone who happens to be a prince. Though she was able to have quite hard time adjusting to the life of a royal family she at the same time was able to fulfill her other ambition which is to finish studies and earn a degree. True love was able to wait. Isn’t it that nice?

Hmmnnn….the movie is not that romantic but it is fine.
Rating: 3/5! See details of the movie here.

Final Analysis is one of the movies i’ve watched this semestral break. It is actually an old movie first shown on the year 1992. Richard Gere was a very young that time. Imagine 15 years gap? Oh, he really looks handsome even now.

Among the movies i’ve watched aside from those i’ve mentioned in my Sept. 29 and April 24 posts i featured first this because the movie seems to be different. The story line is simply amazing. I take note every line being uttered by the characters ( I really like to have the subtitled while watching) so that I could understand well the movie but it seems it has like a deeper sense.

The whole time the movie was progressing it made my mind kept thinking. You really have to analyze every detail, every scene and every character. I like the twist and turns. I was even surprised to know that everything was well planned by Kim Basinger as Heather Evans and Uma Thurman as Diana Baylor was her accomplice. As the tagline of the movie: "A psychiatrist and two beautiful sisters playing the ultimate mind game."

Rating: 4/5! Be sure to watch this movie! Although it is a bit old but im pretty sure you will love it. There is also romance in this movie. Hehehehhe. Kim Basinger was just so very sexy!  

The Last Kiss was just shown last 2006. I am not familiar with the cast of this movie but our teacher told me that Zach Baff is a very talented individual. Aside from being an actor he is also a producer, writer, director and screen writer. Few of the scenes in the movie he was the one who directed it.

It was the movie i have first chosen in the movie files of grace because i was so intrigued of the title. As we reached the 50% completion of the movie im starting to wonder why it was entitled as the last kiss because the story seems to be off the title. It focuses on the four guys but eventually as we reach the ending the story revolve more to Zach Baff, Jacinta Barett and Rachel Bilson. The latter played the flirtatious girl.

Michael who is Zach here was tempted to Chris (Rachel Bilson) that he allowed himself to hang-out with her, had severals kisses and eventually made a sexual intercourse after he become desperate when after an argument with Jenna. The two people who seems to  have a perfect relationship are not in trouble. Jenna was carrying their baby and it was just so depressing on her part that Michael is cheating on her. 

Later on, Michael realized that he love Jenna more than anything else and he wanted to be with her again. He went to the house of the parents of Jenna and wanted to talk to her. Jenna got more angry when she knew that after their fight Michael went back to the dormitory of  Chris and had a sexual intercourse. Michael just want to be honest that’s why he told  it.  

The best part of this movie was in the ending where Michael waited at the doorsteps of their house. Jenna wouldn’t allow him to come in so he was just there waiting. The soundtrack of the movie was also superb. 

Rating: 7/10 

Oh, another movie of Meg Ryan! You’ve Got Mail was a movie released last 1998. Same as the City of Angels right? A movie i just watched this March 2007. See, its been 9 years. Well, its okay since blog is intended to have a short review on those old and new movies.

Same as City of Angels, many of my friends attested to  me that it is also beautiful. I like the movie since it is very much related to IT related person. I think this movie was very timely when it was released way back 1998 because the the information technology stuff is booming. The mails and chatting were new that time. The movie also starred Tom Hanks whom i have first known in the 2000 superb movie Cast Away.

The story is common now because it has been the way we communicate to each other in the different parts of the globe like chatting and sending emails. The usual thing that has been happening at the present time so i don’t need to elaborate.

I was so happy that this movie was being shown in Qtv. I heard so much about this movie already and they said it is beautiful. Yes, i must say and i am quite convinced because i like its unique story and i have always been an avid fan of Nicolas Cage eversince i watched the Face Off movie.

Although i could not concentrate well watching the movie because of some commercial breaks and some scenes are being cuti am still satisfied watching it. Nicolas Cage was just so amazing. I never thought he will also be doing great in a love story movie. I am not really a fan of Meg Ryan and i just knew her in this movie. When i searched her name in the internet, she has been doing a lot of love story movies pala over the past few years. Hmmmnn…i am looking forward to see her old and new movies.

If you are asking what makes it unique? It is for the reason that an angel becomes human just for the sake of love. The person preferred to become a mortal being. I am just wondering why the angels in that movie were wearing black.By the way this movie was first shown way back 1998.
