Enchanting Enchanted!

One of the reasons (aside from being a premiere nights addict) why I watched “Enchanted” is its cast. Seeing my favorite actor Patrick Dempsey who have done movie hits such as “ Can’t Buy Me Love in 87, Happy Together & Loverboy in 89 and received significant public attention for his role as Dr. Derek Shepherd in the drama Grey's Anatomy…..

Enchanted is a delightful musical-comedy that combines traditional hand-drawn cartoon with live-action drama. It begins as a Disney animated fairy tale set in a faraway kingdom, where a fair maiden meets a handsome prince and falls in love. Just as they are about to be married, the prince's evil stepmother tricks the maiden and casts her far away from their cartoon kingdom.

She emerges in the real-world as a very beautiful real-life woman (Amy Adams) who must now navigate the madness of that modern city called New York and find her way home. That is, until she meets a real-life man (Patrick Dempsey) who captures her heart and plants doubts about her own simple fairytale assumptions...

Directed by Kevin Lima, Enchanted is quite, well, enchanting. The concept of having the simple values of fairy-tale characters clash with cynical values of modern-day Man is an inspired idea that yields plenty of delightful gags and one-liners. Especially funny is a musical number where Amy Adams starts singing in a Manhattan apartment and is joined by a chorus of pigeons, rats and cockroaches.

Indeed, Amy's peachy, perky performance will charm you thoroughly. She reminds you of all the storybook princesses you may have liked from Snow White to Sleeping Beauty to the Little Mermaid. The men aren't half bad either, with the swoon-worthy Patrick Dempsey and James Marsden (as the fairytale prince) occupying the other two corners of the requisite love triangle.

Amusingly naive, sweet and magical, Enchanted is the best guilty pleasure to be had right now.

Ang Lee's Lust, Caution

Winner ang pelikulang Lust, Caution ( starring Tony Leung, Tang Wei, Joan Chen at Lee-Hom Wang ) isa sa pinaka erotic na napanood kong pelikula na directed by Academy Award-winning Taiwanese director Ang Lee, ( The Wedding Banquet, Sense & Sensibility, Brokeback Mountain , Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon , Hulk ) based on the short story of the same name published in 1979 by Chinese author Eileen Chang. Ikalawang beses ng panalo ni Ang Lee sa pwlikulang ito sa Golden Lion, Venice Film Festival.

Ang kwento ay nangyari noong 1942 ng sakupin ng mga Hapon ang Shanghai, China. Isang theater group na mga estudyante ang nagplano ng pagpatay sa isang member na Japanese collaborationist.

Hinintay ko talaga ang mga super grabeng sex scene nina Tony Leung at Tang Wei kahit na ang running time nito ay 158 minutes o 2 1/2 hours ....diko tuloy malaman kung dahil ba sa galing ng direktor at ng mga artista ay parang totoong nagpe-penetration ang mga artista sa mga love scenes....grabe hindi talaga ako kumurap para makita ko lang ang mga balls ni Tony Leung hehehehe......pero sa totoo lang panalo sa ganda ng pelikula sa production design at cinematography pa lang winner na naman to sa oscars.....pwedeng ulit-ulitin!
