"The Lucky One"

Starring: Zac Efron and Taylor Schilling

Based on Nicholas Sparks's best seller, "The Lucky One" tells the story of Logan Thibault, a Marine who survives three tours in Iraq. He attributes his good fortune to a photograph he carried of a woman he has never met, and he sets out to meet his good-luck charm when he returns to North Carolina.

"Safe and Sound"

Lyrics and Video

Taylor Swift featuring The Civil Wars

from The Hunger Games Soundtrack

Check out the trailer here: The Hunger Games Trailer

I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, I’ll never let you go
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, “Don’t leave me here alone”
But all that’s dead and gone and passed tonight

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You’ll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I’ll be safe and sound

Don’t you dare look out your window darling
Everything’s on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold onto this lullaby
Even when the music’s gone, gone

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You’ll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I’ll be safe and sound

Just close your eyes
You’ll be alright
Come morning light
You and I’ll be safe and sound

Listen to the Soundtrack here: Safe and Sound

Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the evil Capitol of the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. A twisted punishment for a past uprising and an ongoing government intimidation tactic, The Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which “Tributes” must fight with one another until one survivor remains.

Pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their entire lives, Katniss is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy. If she’s ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

THE HUNGER GAMES is directed by Gary Ross, with a screenplay by Gary Ross and Suzanne Collins and Billy Ray, and produced by Nina Jacobson’s Color Force in tandem with producer Jon Kilik. Suzanne Collins’ best-selling novel, the first in a trilogy published by Scholastic that has over 23.5 million copies in print in the United States alone, has developed a massive global following. It has spent more than 160 consecutive weeks/more than three consecutive years to date on The New York Times bestseller list since its publication in September 2008, and has also appeared consistently on USA Today and Publishers Weekly bestseller lists.

"The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" Movie Review

2012-02-07T11:56:00.001+08:00

"The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo"

Forty years ago, Harriet Vanger disappeared from a family gathering on the island owned and inhabited by the powerful Vanger clan. Her body was never found, yet her beloved uncle is convinced it was murder and that the killer is a member of his own tightly knit but dysfunctional family. He employs disgraced financial journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Michael Nyqvist) and the tattooed and troubled but resourceful computer hacker Lisbeth Salander (Noomi Rapace) to investigate. When the pair link Harriets disappearance to a number of grotesque murders from almost forty years ago, they begin to unravel a dark and appalling family history. But the Vangers are a secretive clan, and Blomkvist and Salander are about to find out just how far they are prepared to go to protect themselves.

Movie Review:

The film starts with establishing the background of the movie, creating the foundation for Michael Blomkvist and Lisbeth Salander. It maybe a little boring bur don't miss out on details or else you'll regret being confused in the latter part of the film. Anyhow one the film's done establishing the characters, it then started to accelerate that you can't help but be glued to the movie screen to never miss out on any detail or any information. You'll be catered to an investigative/detective search for the young girl Harriet who has been lost for 40 years.I don't need to mention the cold background, the "no talking to each other" family and even the media war behind because the investigation and the search is enough to satisfy the eyes. You'll continue asking who? what happened? and even near then end when you thought that's it you'd end up asking WHAT!!!???!?!?!

Such a titillating story that can make you wonder up to the end.

Actors:

Noomi Rapace may not be the winner especially with big names against her nevertheless, her presence and character is evident in every scene of the film. It's amazing to know she was able to portrayu a very difficult character indeed.

If you're ready for mind blowing search, then this movie is for you!

"The Descendants" Movie Review

2012-02-07T11:35:00.000+08:00

"The Descendants"

From Alexander Payne, the creator of the Oscar-winning "Sideways", set in Hawaii, The Descendants movie 2011 is a sometimes humorous, sometimes tragic journey for Matt King (George Clooney) an indifferent husband and father of two girls, who is forced to re-examine his past and embrace his future when his wife suffers a boating accident off of Waikiki. The event leads to a rapprochement with his young daughters while Matt wrestles with a decision to sell the family's land handed down from Hawaiian royalty and missionaries.

Movie Review:

The movie has been crafted very nicely that while watching you'll be surprised to find yourself searching, fighting and trying with the protagonist himself, Matt King. You'll start to feel what he feels about the situation. You cry when he found out, you struggle raising the two kids, you get irritated with the daughter's "boyfriend" and you feel helpless in front of your father in law thinking "If only I can tell you the truth...". And honestly it's all about "How I wish I can speak what I feel...".

Even with the dramatic background of the story, the film has not failed to add also funny and entertaining scenes: kissing the wife, hiding from the bushes, the daughter's boyfriend you'd want to kill grrrr. Lol!

It ends with Matt King standing for what he believes in. Not allowing to be pushed by the co-descendants but to speak loudest as possible. I think that's the best way to wrap it.

Actors:

George Clooney is a shoo in for Best Actor. He's splendid! He was able to portray the loving and indifferent father and the confused and angry husband and the helpless descendant ALL AT THE SAME TIME!

"Sid" is amazing as well. He maybe just a supporting actor but he played his role very well. He's one of the characters you'd want to look forward to. You'd start hating him as in really hating him and then you'd see him grow (for whatever reason) you'd be happy and start liking him. Believe me, he's fun to watch.

Overall, go ahead and WATCH IT! Worth it!

Movie Review: "Segunda Mano"

2011-12-26T11:57:00.000+08:00

First of all, as you know I didn't have high expectations from Segunda Mano. If you've seen the trailer, you'd think it's the same horror film. And when I say "the same horror film", I mean scary sounds with unexpected surprises. After all that's what Filipino is known for (Thank God we have Yam Laranas now who's challenging that status quo). Anyhow I still went ahead and watched (first MMFF I watched this year).

Synopsis (without giving away spoilers):

The story revolved around Mabel (played by Kris Aquino) who lives with her Mother (played by Helen Gamboa), who owns an antique shop, who has a bestfriend (played by Bangs Garcia) who happens to own a boutique of second hand (segunda mano) bags. It was in this store that Mabel bought her bag to impress her boyfriend Iva (played by Dingdong Dantes). Later did they know that this bag was owned by Mariela, ex-wife of Dingdong Dantes (played by Angelica Panganiban). As the movie continue, secrets start to be revealed, people start dying and Mabel start searching and finding out.

Movie Review:

Story: Surprising twist always does the trick! From the trailer, I thought the movie is purely about the bag and about a dead woman running after people. Surprisingly the movie blew me away with the unexpected twist. You'd end up glued to the movie screen not wanting to miss any scene. I just didn't understand why the sister didn't come back to her family and waited until she's dead. I think that was left unanswered. Aside from that though, it was a mix of love story (c/o BB. Bernal) and Psycho-Horror theme kind of movie.

Acting: For me Bangs Garcia was a revelation. If it wasn't for her "shouting's" and panic reactions, the movie would have been boring. She added the right element to compliment that somewhat boring acting of Kris Aquino. To be honest when it comes to scary scenes when Kris needs to be scares, she's a super star. But when it comes to normal conversations with her best friend or mom or boyfriend, I'm sorry but she's the driest of them all. Probably because she looks "forced" that it becomes not normal. Anyhow, Angelica Panganiban played her part well as always while Dingdong stepped up. He'd probably be the Best Supporting Actor of the festival. Mark My word, I think he will get it.

Award Predictions:

Dingdong Dantes may win the Best Supporting Actor award.

At the end of the movie, I left satisfied and entertained.

Worth the watch.

37th Metro Manila Film Festival Parade of the Stars

It's Pokwang's Time To Shine In "A Mother's Story"

2011-12-24T10:54:00.000+08:00

Historically OFW's life has been a common and usual theme for Filipino movies. Talk about Milan, Dubai, Anak, Caregiver to name a few. And this is expected as these stories always strike a nerve in every Filipino who has a family member or a relative or a friend who needed to go abroad to work and find a living.

"A Mother's Story" is no different. I'm pretty sure it follows the same plot where the mother needs to go abroad to help her family and when she returns, her family hates her. Blah blah blah... But what amazes me though in this film is that they didn't use the usual famous dramatic character like Sharon Cuneta or Vilma Santos. They tapped on the hidden talent who was an OFW as well before she became a comedienne in the person of POKWANG! That make it worth watching. I remember Ai-ai delas Alas when she started doing drama scenes in "Ang Tanging Ina" which made everybody broke down to tears. I bet this is what will happen with Pokwang as well.

"A MOTHER'S STORY" Trailer

"A Mother's Story" gives life to the story of Medy, played by Pokwang, a make-up artist who dares to make a life in the United States as an illegal immigrant in exchange for saving the life of her infant daughter.

The film focuses on the everyday sacrifices that millions of Filipino parents make as they leave their homes to find jobs overseas.

The film will premier at the Alex Theatre in Glendale, California on Nov. 6 and will be shown in major cities worldwide including Calgary, London, Madrid, and Milan starting Nov. 11.

Enteng Ng Ina Mo | Official Trailer | MMFF 2011

2011-12-23T01:20:00.002+08:00

Enteng Ng Ina Mo is an amazing "comedy-nation" of the two Top Grossing Films Series in the Philippines: "Okay Ka, Fairy Ko" and "Ang Tanging Ina". Both have been considered TOP GROSSING FILMS in each year's release. Now with the two joining forces, it's predicted that the film would break records even records recently made by "No Other Woman" and "Praybet Benjamin".

However with a lot of movies to watch on the 25th of December, well never know. But one thing's for sure: this one would definitely make a merrier Christmas for you and your whole family!

Enjoy the trailer for now and be EXCITED!

The Road, a film by Yam Laranas | NOW SHOWING!

2011-12-23T00:50:00.000+08:00

Yam Laranas, the man behind "Sigaw", the first and I think the only Filipino Horror film that had a US remake ("Echo") gave us another Horror-Psycho masterpiece in the film "The Road".

It's about "A twelve year old cold case is reopened when three teens are missing in an abandoned road. In the course of the investigation, deeper and gruesome stories of abduction and murders are discovered. After more than two decades, the secrets of the haunted road may finally be revealed."

Even with the trailer you'd know, you're up for one scary ride! Check it out below:

Panday 2 | Official Trailer | MMFF 2011

2011-12-07T15:24:00.001+08:00

After the TOP Grosser and Festival Best Picture of MMFF 2009 "Ang Panday", here comes "Panday 2" as an official entry to Metro Manila Film Festival 2011 expecting same successful turnout.

Bong Revilla, Iza Calzado and Phillip Salvador return in "Panday 2" with a valuable addition in the person of Marian Rivera.

There is much expectation from this movie after the several wins of "Ang Panday". After all it won Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor and Best Visual Effects to name a few.

Panday 2 | Official Trailer

Don't you think some "creatures" that are supposed to be "visual effects" familiar? Check out Clash of the Titans, the visual effects would become all too familiar. *sigh* Aren't we really creative enough to INNOVATE?

With that I'm not sure if I'm going to waste my money watching it. Oh yeah aside from the fact I'm not a fan of Marian Rivera.

So if you're after a family movie where you just sit and pretend to enjoy then watch. Lol!
