Here Comes... Johnny!!!!

Public Enemies, its more like Batman meets a serious Captain Jack Sparrow. lol. I have to admit I wanted to watch this movie is because I wanted to see Johnny Depp in big screen and I just realize i prefer him to be in roles that are not so normal. hehe. The movie itself is a drag, there are boring parts. Christian Bale? *sigh* as i was watching him act in the movie as the police detective going after Johnny depp, can't help thinking of another actor I know who, whatever role he portrays he always have one face, one expression on his face and that actor is... Keanu Reeves. lol.

Ok, Ok going back to the movie. The story line is your typical gangster movie. However, the movie looks like it was running in low budget. (but then again it could be some kind of directing style that they wanted to portray in public) The screen or the shots are like taken by home video cameras. The panning and the screening of the scene is like someone is documenting the events happening in the movie. Its like one of those reality cop series we watch in the telly. I think if it weren't for Depp and Bale, the movie won't even get to be on the top 10 list in the box office. Favorite scene though is when Johnny Dillenger (played by Depp) steped into the chicago police department unnoticed or rather unrecognized. He even went up to the section of the building where the team who was specially assembled to capture him resides. He walked right into the office where he saw pictures of his fallen friends in crime are being posted on walls with a stamp that says deased and his only picture which doesn't have the deased stamp yet. He even talked to the bunch of officers who were deep into listening who is winning the horse race. It was amazing and brave of him to do that. SPOILER ALERT! In the end of the movie, the way Johnny D. died is somewhat a suiside in his side. He knew the cops where there waiting for him, but he still went to it. I think in the end he couldn't just quit on what he did best. Even after all his friends and allies are iether died or selling him out to the police. He chosed to be shot, he chosed to be dead. He had a death wish, what a waste of life.

DRUM ROLL PLEEEEAAASSSSSEEEEE..!!!

here we are ladies and gentlemen, the first trailer out of Tim Burton's Alice and Wonderland....

From 300 sequell, to the warcraft movie.. to the teaser trailer of Tim B's Alice in Wonderland...

It looks like hollywood is still at its sequel mode. It's almost 3 years since 300 has been shown through cinemas and have become a big hit. and since then rumors about a sequell have been floating in the movie world. Recently, it has been known that Frank Miller is just about done in the first draft for the graphic novel sequel. But there is still no official news who will will be the screenwriter and director of the so called sequel movie of 300. but fans are hoping that it would still be Zack Synder.

In Comic-Con, the Green hornet black beauty car is finally unveiled. It's also reported that they are still looking for a KATO. For those who has seen green hornet series back in the 60s Kato was played by Bruce lee. So anyone in mind who could be best to play as kato? Green Hornet's side kick?

If you are into computer games you would be familiar with Castlevania. James Wan one of the two makers behind the Saw and the director of Dead Silence and Death Sentence. He will be co-writing and directing Castlevania ad the producer will be Paul W.S. Anderson. It is still not clear if this movie would be in CGI or would it be a live action movie. But one thing i'm looking forward to is it looks like hollywood will focus on its gothic storyline that I most love in Castlevania. Here's to hoping that hollywood won't ruin my views in castlevania.

Tim B's Alice in wonderland teaser trailer is out and i have diffenately waited for this. I am a huge Tim and Johnny fan. but looks like disney has blocked the trailer stating that it is not suppose to be out. as usually Disney is being a party poop. According to the once you saw the trailers, some people might not like the movie. Well duh.. you wouldn't expect a rated for kids alice in wonderland directed by TB. Until now it is till a great wonder why this is under disney. And I still say that TB should have made his alice in wonderland according to the graphic novel "return to wonderland."

Now Sam Raimi, if you know him, he directed evil dead and spiderman movies will be directing a movie base on the world of warcraft. Mmmm.. this has been my favorite computer game. Fell in love with arthas and the leach king. I am wondering how this movie will turn out. However the script to this movie is still on its work. However, it is claimed to be an epic movie since Legendary and Blizzard entertainment producing it and having Warner distribute it, Not only will the spiderman director will direct this movie but they also got Charles Roven into the mix (his the producer in the dark knight). So I wonder what will the DOTA fans and the world of warcraft fans will think of this. However, just like castlevania i am not yet sure if this will be a CGI movie or a live action movie.

and now looky here, Alice in wonderland is not yet out in the thesters and a new movie is set out to be made by Tim Burton with friend Johnny Depp. "Dark Shadows," a 1966-1971 horror series full of vampired, werewolves, demons, zombies and those paranormal people. (hmmm sounds like a world where Anita Blake grew up.) TB said he will be working with this once alice in wonderland is done. But the leading role is already crowned to his best friend johnny depp.

So, that it is for now folks about the news that are stirring hollywood these days. There are so many more movie up dates. I just write about the once I look interesting to me. Besides, why would I promote something that it isn't worth the time and money watching in the big screen. :P

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Well now, its a good thing i watched this movie on my own. You could hardly find a seat. Almost all the seats, its like I got to Trinoma 5pm but the scheduled showing of 6pm, 7pm and 9pm are already taken. Good thing the one scheduled in 9pm still have a seat available just for one. Yahoo for me.

Anyway, a friend's shout out in facebook says... "Forget the HP movie just read the book." After watching the movie, i knew how he felt. The movie is quite boring. The book is more exciting. I would suggest just buy or borrow yourself a book and it will be more interesting. But then again, 80% of the movie goers in harry potter haven't really read the book. Take for example the group of friends behind me. Their comments were. "Oh.. panget.. namatay si dumbledoor.", "Nakakapikon, bitin naman.","Napakaconfusing","Ang pangit misleading si snape." *sigh* Well obviously people who say this comments obviously haven't even touched the book.

So to the movie, I thought they almost forgot Narcissa going to Snape asking him for help in saving Draco. I didn't like Narcissa, she looked old and weak and pathetic. In the book she was discribed as a strong willed smug pretty gorgeous wife of a Malfoy, I was hoping to see Meryle Streep as Narcissa Malfoy. That was my favorite scene in all harry potter books, I was actually anticipating that scene eversince I read the book like 3yrs ago? And as pretty and crazy as ever Helen (wife of Tim Burton, whom I just recently knew) played BellaTrix, So like her. A friend doesn't like her for a reason she finds her weird. Well she just have to live with it coz she is an excellent actor. And I wonder, isn't it in this movie where Ron became the Prefect of the house or was it the last movie? There are some scenes that are left out, just like any books turned to movies. I am not really impressed in the movie, I just watched it for the sake of having collected the books from 1-7 and having watched all HP movies in the big screen. Although if your a parent it would be nice to bring your children to watch it, they might like the movie so much enough for them to read the books. And what great way to intruduce your kids in reading books. Kids or even teens or even adults now a days doesn't like reading books as much as the generation before them. That's why the human's brain standards have been falling rock bottom.

Second, Draco looked pathetic in the movie, in the book he looked sad. A lot might not get this but the reason why Dumbledoor asked Snape to just kill him is because Dumbledoor doesn't want Draco to go through the ordeal that Voldemort gave him. He was trying to save him. I'm telling you this coz in the next movie (you people who don't want to read the book and just watch the movie) might have comments like "ay bakit naging headmaster si snape diba siya pumatay kay dumbledoor?" *rolls eyes* and stop whining its not a spoiler coz if you have read the book you should know that already and that a lot died in deathly hollows and that lupin died and that one of the weasly died too as well.

I rate this movie 7. But even though i rate it 7, i think i'm still watching the last installment just for the heck of it.

So, there is a TEKKEN movie!

Work earlier was rather boring. One of our co-workers found out in wikipedia that there is a Tekken movie coming out anytime soon. I didn't believe it, i mean cmon anyone can post in wikipedia and there are alot of fans out there dreaming for their favorite games,books,anime turn into live action and some actually create there dream cast. So i am not really a big fan of wikipedia coz anyone can post anything there, i could post there that i will be starring LiLi in the new tekken movie if i want and post my picture in my lili custome. ROFL.

Okey, back to the topic at hand. So when i got home i directly check my movie news resources. And Cool there is a Tekken movie being made in hollywood. As the matter of fact its already in post production right now. (for those who doesnt know what post production means - meaning the filming of the movie is already done and its up to the editor and director to piece together what they have shot). The movie is being directed by Dwight H. Little (Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers, Marked for Death, Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid). Jon Foo will the playing as Jin Kazama. Luke Gross will be playing as Steve Fox. The story goes like this, Jin, enters the "King of Iron First" tournament in order to avenge the death of his mother that he blames upon Tekken's powerful and controlling chairman, Heihachi Mishima. There is still no official listings on whose going to be who in the movie and which game characters will be present in the movie. It is known that this movie might be rated-R because of the brutal fight scenes. So i'm guessing maybe the actors are really doing the signitures of the character there playing. I know Jin has a pretty brutal move. As far as i know the Tekken group are going low profile as for the moment with reason unknown. Movie reviewers could just speculate.

I hope this movie will be good not like the tekken anime OVA. I really didn't like that one.

ICE AGE 3: Dawn of the Dinosour...

I have read a lot of reviews in this movie that it's not good. That its not worth a watch. That it's a waste of time. But I watched this movie with my friend and we laughed our hearts out. True the story line is shallow but the meaning of friendship is still there. When IA2 ended we know that the two mammoth became an item. In this movie, they are pregnant already with their first mammoth child. Diego the sabertooth tiger realized that his not what he used to be and Sid the sloth still wanted to feel as if he belongs. When Diego announced his going solo, Manny got offended and thought that Diego is such a selfish animal. Sid was left feeling all alone and so he found three eggs. In fact its three T-rex eggs which it hatched and thought that Sid was thier mommy. Ofcors, naturally the mommy T-rex went to look for her children and when she came and took her babies back, she also took sid with her. That's where the adventure began in the movie. They were on the quest to find and save Sid.

Its like "land before time meets journey to the center of the universe". The trail lead them into an underground place where dinosours existed. There they met "Buck" the crazy weasel. Its a movie for kids, kids will appriate it. My favorite part is when they crossed the vally of deadly fumes. LOL Buck said if you inhale the fumes it is poisionous and you will die. It just so happens that its like a hilluim gas that makes your voice sound like cheapmunks and acts like a laughing gas coz you can't stop laughing. Just picture Diego the sabortooth tiger having a voice like a cheapmunk. You have to admit it is funny. I mean in that very scene of the movie I really LMHO!

And who could forget the crazy squerrel like creature who is always on the quest get his acorn. In the first movie he is only shown in the beggining and the end of the movie. On the 2nd movie not only in the first and last scene he is shown he also got a little bit in between. Now this time in this movie, not only did he get the chance to atleast inter-act with the main characeters but he got himself a girlfriend. Yah! our favorite ice age squerrel falls inlove in this movie.

And talk about CGI to the highest level. The furrs.. they look so real. Its like your not watching animation in CGI but stuff toys walking. Watching it in the big screen makes you think how nice their furr would feel if you hug them.

Over all the movie was worth the money... but good thing we didn't go for the 3d version coz its not worth the 3d version. Sometimes there are movies worth to watch in 3d some are just worth the big screen. ^_^

Watch it if you want some laughing trip to forget your sorrows.

Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen

its hardly a surprise, Optimus Prime died in this movie.... LOL

well if you are into transformers ever since the dawn of its existence in animation both american or japanese version, optimus dying is a pretty normal thing to happen. Then he will be resurected with additional hardware updates and with a brand new cooler name. THIS IS NOT A SPOILER if you haven't watch the movie coz as i said optimus always dies and more likely be upgraded just like any car that gets broken they fix it then its up and running like new.

So.... lets get on to the movie. Action is still the best, micheal bay always goes for movies that goes boom boom. Movie opens to the history about the fallen. This part is a bit confusing for me. According to my knowledge theres only the Deciepticons and the Autobots., The Fallen are a completely different species of transformers. I thought the fallen was refered to as the Deciepticons due to the defeat of Megatron in the first movie. Well, they did revive Megatron and lol Megatron still acts like a brat whenever he is injured, he still screams the name "STARSCREAM" and he still vents out at him. lol. talk about faithful right hand. And there is Bumblebee, obviously since BB (bumbblebee) is the one who got almost all the attention in the first movie, so it looks like Micheal Bay has took advantage on it and gave bumblebee a complete fight scene in fighting a huge Deciepticon in the desert.

anyway, the boy there, i forgot his name. Also took after optimus... ROFL. He also died.. ROFL. yah and his version of crossing over is he was faced by the fallen and was told that he needs to go back and help save the planet earth or something and when he came back to life the new spark from the fallen that turned to ashes was turned back to its original state which he stabed it at optimus in able to wake him up. yah sorry i find it funny coz he also died and came back to life just like optimus did. lol

Also, theres an annoying washington representative in the movie where he wanted to send the autobots out from our globe. He has this rationale that the deciepticons are invading the earth because the autobots are on it. ROFL.Another idiot government official. Movies like this always have this type of character.

Now seriously, the movie is just fine, full of action pack and if ur into military you'll drool over the figher planes and the destroyers and the cars.... mmmm.. love the cars and the new bikes of the autobots. Cinamatography is also quite ok transistion to one scene to the other is ok. I can't think of any lessons to be learned in this movie.

But you know what... while I was watching Transformers I kept on thinking what if anytime now Tony Starks will come out in the movie and then offer his services to do the autobots for thier maintenances...... lol

now, wouldn't that be cool? ^_^
