"The Lovely Bones" 2009

I have to say this has to be one of the best movies I have seen. Drama is really not my type of Genre, but this one I like...lol..It has some suspense to it. The Graphic Fantasy visual effects was really great, but what really was awesome is the story and meaning behind it. I don't remember when was the last drama movie I saw that made me a little eyed teary, I guess Im checkin my other Blog movie review.
A short introduction of the movie:
About an ordinary girl on her way home from school and was murdered in December 1973.
Susie(The main Character) was trapped in this "In-Between" fantasy place where she's able to see and observe all the stuff that she left on earth. She watched her family, mom and dad, Grandma, her murder mystery, her crush, and her murderer after her death.
Though the ending was kinda like a dissapointment for me with the pay-off from the murderer in the end, I was hoping it could be something more justice like electric chair or something for all the little girls she killed, But I guess a gruesome death is good enough. Well, This has the vibe of a family drama, so I guess high-school puppy love scene would suit to free her completely so I just have to suck it up..hehe.. And Of course, You can never bring a loved one back whatever you do, and we all must have to move on. I don't think "revenge" was the ideal focus in the story. In real life there are a lot of cases and stories that are unsolved.
Check out the trailer. It actually came out last year directed by Peter Jackson and also was on the book by Alice Sebold.

Resident Evil

I Finally saw Resident Evil "Afterlife" last weekend. I very much liked it. Lovin the 3D as well. Well to be honest, Im a big fan of Resident Evil Games and other stuff so even if it comes out mediocre type movie I would still give it a lot of credit for making it to the big screen. Mila Jovovich is awesome like always. Im thinking maybe they should put Angelina Jolie next time as one of the characters from the game who hasn't appeared yet in the movie like "Ada Wong". ANyways, I saw a couple of familiar Villains and creatures like the big guy with the Big Axe, and the Zombies with stuff coming out of their mouth, and of course "Wesker" with that "Neo"Matrix look. Also "Chris Redfield" before I forgot as one of the good guys. Some of the Action secquence look Matrixish like with the bullets and slow mos, well I guess its not just all about matrix. Overall, I would give this movie an 8 out of 10. I guess I was expecting more actions and lots of extra stuff, but really im satisfied. Looking for the next one.. I can't wait.

"Case 39" 2009

I saw this movie Couple of weeks ago Actually and forgot to make a short review.
This movie came out last year. One of my friend lend me the DVD to watch it.
Since I like horror and suspense movie, of course I didnt hesitate to go see it.
The Story is about a Family Social Service Worker Emily Jenkins(Renee Zellweger) who seems to have seen it all. She met this 10 year old girl Lilith Sullivan(Jodelle Ferland) and the child's cruel parents. Little she know about the family, she folled her instinct and made tremendous efforts to save lily from the seemingly dangerous vibe she feels from parents. She took care of Lily while they search for a perfect foster family to move on. Little did she know, She help ignite a very dark supernatural force surrounding the kid and the greater horror had just begun...
The movie was good, it sorta kept me on the edge of my seat for a bit. The movie has a very good twist as it progress. What I like about this movie is the image and visualization they portray that leaves me wondering and imagining stuff. I have seen many Horror movies in the past, but this one still gives me the thrill ride while watching it, Even though some part/scenes on this one haved already played to my expectations of what is about to happen.I actually watched it twice, the reason is I wanted to kinda scare my friend, and it didnt work.

Resident Evil "Afterlife" and The Last Exorcism

There are two movies I must see this coming month which is the Resident Evil 'Afterlife" and The Last Exorcism.
Resident Evil movies seems not to dissapoint me even though they change the story line from the game which a lot of other movies that comes from the video games does.
Maybe its because they bringing all the charaters and villains that I see from the actual game even though its not in particular order like in the game.
I remember buying a PlayStation 2 system so that I could play resident Evil 4, that shows how much I like this movie.
the next one coming up is gonna be on 3D. here's the trailer. I am going to the IMAX theater on this one.


and here's the trailer for The Last Exorcism...this trailer looks really scary, but from what I heard and read from other people's reviews, it is a waist of money. Even though I've been warned, I still would like to go and see it since Exorcist movies always freaks me out. Hopefully it wont be as bad as what many people have said. I was suppose to see this movie last night with my girl and my friends, but the theater that we were near at in NYC is not showing it.

SALT - 2010

I did a post before regarding the trailer for this movie. As I had mention the trailer looks very interesting and it look like it has a good story plots and twist.
As Expected, It came with a good plot and unexpected twist. I guess I could compare this movie to "Bourne Ultimatum", the girl version..hehe..I always want to see Angelina Jolie on Action pack movies. She's such a great actress. The last movie she did was "Wanted" became one of my favorites of all time.
I recommend this for everyone who likes to watch guessing games and mind thrilling action movies. However, besides all the positive reviews I give, some part or scenes to sorta have that unreal feel like when she jump side to side on the elevator while its going down or when she beat down all four guys at the same time. Im pretty sure it's possible with all the proper training and technique and I always like to see Angelina kick ass. I guess that's what the movie is suppose to do, to bring unreal to reality for us to imagine and enjoy to watch.
Overall, I very much like this movie because Angelina Jolie is in it,..LOL, because of the sexy action stuff, and the plots and twists that keeps you guessing.

B-girL

Just saw this movie on cable last night before I went to sleep. I have to say, I almost gave up on modern dance movies since most of them are so cheezy trying to bring up the hardcore lifestyle in the street to the big screen...LOL..I think the general public media and hollywood always had the wrong approach and understanding of what dancers go through or the lifestyle specifically the bboys and bgirls on this one, Almost to the point that I don't care anymore..haha
But after watching this I have to say I was actually surprised. My expectations were very low to begin with, but I wanted to give it a shot since its a "break dancing" movie..hehe, I knew some of the names of the people, have seen some in person, the trailer looks somewhat realistic, and since Im a bboy myself, I need to check this out. I believe this is a low-budget film, but that doesnt stop a good movie production. I want to make my own movie now...LOL
The story was great, and it has a good amount of sense of capturing and showing the expressions and visions of a bboy/bgirl. The battle in the end was cool too.
Overall, I'll give this movie an 8.5 out 10. Is there a B-boy movie coming out anytime soon?
Lady Jules the main Character, In my opinion is one of the best bgirls out there not basing it on the movie.

M Night Shyamalan - DEVIL

Just saw another movie Trailer, my blog should just be about movie trailer reviews...LOL, I havent really seen any new movies, but I have a feeling I will see some of the upcoming ones. Anyway, Check out this "DEVIL" movie by M Night Shyamalan. The trailer looks really something, and I feel like i'Ve known the whole story just by watching the clip. I assume that the plot or twist for this movie is something that majority is familiar with unless insane twist like that movie "Orphan"..who wouldve guessed?...This one reminds me of that old reality show "The Mole"..LOL..It gives you a sense of the question to find "Which one among Us". I believe there has been similar to these plots in a different setting. But I like this kind of movies because it keeps you guessing till the movie is finished. Plus M Night Shyamalan in my opinion make good interesting movies.
