ROXXXANNE

Last week, Oct. 10 ang premiere showing ng Roxxxanne sa UP Film Center ang mga bida dito ay sina Sheree, Jay Aquitana at Janvier Daily. Sabi ng kaibigan kong nag-invite sa akin, itong Roxxxane daw ang husgahan ko at huwag daw ang GIGIL na unang commercial film ni Jun Lana, kapag naalala ko ang Gigil ay nanggigigil ako sa sarili ko kung bakit ko pinanood ang pelikula....according sa aking source marami daw ang naging aberya habang ginagawa ang pelikulang Gigil ( feeling ko excuses lang nila yun dahil chaka talaga ang pelikula parang ginawa ito noong 80's pa hmp).....so inaabangan ko itong Roxxxanne...pagdating namin sa UP mahaba na ang pila ng mga bading na super excited na mapanood ang pelikula, at dahil VIP ang tickets namin, nagkaroon kami ng chance na ma-chika ang mga VIP guests ni Jun Lana at ibang casts ng pelikula...well nagustuhan ko naman ang pelikula, mahusay ang pagkakasulat ng script...pero na-disappoint ako dahil wala man lang akong nakitang makakapagpa-excite sa mga bading, na sa tingin ko bading ang tema ng pelikula, pero kulang lang sa mga sexy scenes....sa pelikula 2 beses nakitulog si Janvier sa kwarto ni Jay ? My gosh nabitin ako dun sobra wala man lang nangyari...hmm sayang.... sana man lang may mga naliligong eksena si Janvier at sinisilipan ni Jay ( kagat labi ) dahil patay na patay sya dito.... at sana may mga masturbation scene na pinagpapantasyahan ni Jay ang kanyang one and only love.....cguro sinadya talaga ni Jun na walang mga sexy scenes ( kahit tatlo ang letter "x" sa Roxanne) dahil nasanay ako na may mga sexy scenes sa mga gay films na napanood ko at kulang dito sa Roxxxanne kaya diko masisisi ang sarili kong ma-bore sa pelikula ...sayang (buntong hininga)....ito ang pelikulang di mo na uuliting panoorin at madali mong makakalimutan....

Mga movies na napanood ko last month!

INVASION


Nicole Kidman stars as a Washington, D.C., psychiatrist who discovers a mysterious epidemic that alters the behavior of human beings. Weirder still: The origins of the virus appear to be extraterrestrial.

You get Kidman doing a variety of odd accents, the sad sight of cool character actor Jeffrey Wright reduced to being the Guy Who Explains All the Fake Science, a kid actor who's had the emotion drained out of him already by Hollywood instead of by alien pods, the dowsing of weird, creepy psychological terror in favor of more car chases and crashes and whiplash editing that makes no sense.





ROUGE ASSASSIN

Jet Li stars in this fast-paced action thriller, playing an assassin named Rogue who has murdered an FBI agent. Now the agent's former partner (Jason Statham) is hellbent on revenge--and there's no avoiding a tense showdown with Rogue.
When you don't bother to write an interesting story and you rely on unimaginative car chases and martial-arts face-kickery, how do you salvage your movie? With lot of guns, knives and swords, that's how. Even with Jet Li on board here, you don't get to see a ton of really great mano a mano. It's mostly just people shooting each other in the face. There's a ton of that, actually. And that's, you know, fine and all, but it's not what you're led to believe is going to go down. You'll be disappointed in the film but satisfied, more or less, by the sheer volume of bloodshed.






SHOOT 'EM UP

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
"… the most audacious, implausible, cheerfully offensive, hyperactive action picture I've seen …"
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
"… a bloody, trashy, volcanically depraved action movie …"
HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
"It's all very silly, but also undeniably fun …"
VILLAGE VOICE
"… extremely violent guilty pleasure of a thriller …"
USA TODAY
"Though some sequences are eye-poppingly cool and the dark humor can be entertaining, this feels like a stylish exercise in absurdly excessive violence."
BONGZEE
“ kaloka itong movie…kaka xcite ang mga barilan sequences…ang fav ko ang sex scene ni monica at clive…habang binabaril ni clive ang mga kalaban binabaril din niya si monica…hehehehe”






DAYWATCH

Now comes Daywatch, the second in the trilogy that will eventually conclude with Duskwatch.

Here, the same set characters have returned to reprise their roles as supernatural beings who walk the earth among us. They are called the Others, and they could be anything from witches and seers, and beasts and vampires. But they take on humans forms, moving around us in normal clothes and dark shades such that we are not aware of them.

Divided between the forces of good and evil, the groups operate according to an ancient truce struck to keep a balance between lightness and dark. But that truce is about to be destroyed because of a young boy (Dima Martynov), whose role as the long-awaited messiah threatens to make the evil forces stronger than the good.
Like Nightwatch, Daywatch has been shot in a frenetic, MTV-style pace that may or may not give you a headache. At times, the images fly by so fast you want to close your eyes and rest your mind for a while before being assaulted by the next batch of images.





RESIDENT EVIL: EXTINCTION




In this third and final entry of the horror franchise, Alice (Milla Jovovich) is still on the run from the diabolical Umbrella Corporation, which has turned her into a superhuman fighting machine. Hiding in the Nevada desert, Alice teams up with a bunch of outcasts to once and for all get rid of the nasty virus that's turning the entire population into zombies.










I KNOW WHO KILLED ME


Chicago Tribune
"… it's uncomfortable to watch someone who's hit rock bottom in her personal life play such a sleazy character …"
Hollywood Reporter
"… a fresh candidate in the running for worst movie of 2007 …"
New York Post
"… sleazy, inept and worthless …"
Premiere
"… risible, grotesque, and incoherent …"
TV Guide
"… the kind of film actresses generally make when their careers are well and truly on the skids."
Variety
"… a disaster …"

Bongzee
"kung may B-movie...D-movie ang para dito sa pelikula...sobrang chaka...bat kaya tinanggap to ni Julia Ormond, wala na ba syang raket?

Hay naku super boring ng pelikulang December Boys....sana pinanood ko na lang sa dvd...kung hindi si Daniel Radcliffe ang star dito, hindi ako nag aksaya ng panahon na manood ng premiere showing nito sa Glorieta4, pero salamat sa Xfm...dahil panalo talaga ang mga premiere nila..salamat sa kanilang mga xdeal...ang tema ng pelikula ay coming of age ng apat na main characters (orphan boys from a catholic home-style orphanage ), at pano nabago ang buhay nila sa isang bakasyon. Alam nyo ba na dahil sa Australia ang setting ng pelikula so kailangan ng strong Australian accent ng mga characters dito since si Dan Radcliffe ay british nag- practice sya ng Australian accent for six months prior to the films shooting pero halata pa rin na sya lang ang British sa pelikula...may mga eksena na akala ko nanonood ako ng Harry Potter at bigla syang magma-magic hehehe. Ginawa ang pelikula on location sa Adelaide and Kangaroo Island, with interiors at the South Australian Film Corporation Studio at directed by Rod Hardy(diko sya kilala?)....kung pagod ka at manonood ka ng December Boys baka makatulog ka at paggising mo Pasko na!

magaling umARTe si Jett huh!


Last September 22, nanood kami ng one-night-only performance ng Art,Yasmina Reza’s Broadway and London hit comedy at ang mga bida dito ay sina Jett Pangan, Michael de Mesa at Ricky Davao. Di ko napanood ang english version nito noong 1998, so wala akong ideya kung ano ang istorya ng ART....may nagtanong nga sakin kung "gay play" daw itong ART, ang sabi ko naman di ah..."straight play" to noh...hehehehe...tungkol pala ito sa painting na binili ni Michael ( as Serge ) na ang halaga ay 200k e white lang naman ang painting...di makapaniwala si Jett (as Mar ) na binili nya ito ng 200k at tinawag nya itong " piece of shit"...nagsimula ang awayan ng dalawang magkaibigan ng pumasok sa eksena si Ricky ( as Jun ) kasi ang character ni Jun dito ay balimbing ( mababa ang self-esteem at self confidence ) kaya kumakampi sya kung sino ang kausap nya sa dalawa.....well di naman ako na-disappoint...ang galing ng timing nina Ricky at Michael, at sobra akong na-impress sa performance ni Jett, di sya nagpatalo sa husay nina Michael at Ricky...ang masasabi ko lang FUNtastic ang Pinoy version ng ART!
