90. Map For Saturday (4.25/5)

So far, this is the only documentary that I have on the list. But then as I visit back to the day that I watched this movie, I can say that I was totally moved! AS IN! I already want to go backpacking and see the world the next day! But then, life is not that easy--- of course, I would like to also pursue a career in writing, and creating videos.

It is inspiring seeing people on the documentary go and enjoy their life. Brook Silva-Braga inspires me as well as a filmmaker. I want to do what he did, create a film and travel at the same time. But I think it is not yet time. Coz I don't have a HD video cam yet! Hehehe!

All I can say is that the best asset of this film is to capture the moment and feelings of travelers on a specific moment. It also made us realize that the world is awesome and there is just so much to learn.

I give this movie 4.25/5

89. The Love of Siam (4.75/5)

While I try to remember how it felt when I watched this 2 months ago, I need to again say that in a way, this would be biased. I love handsome, passionate and intelligent gay guys so some might think I am giving this movie too much credit.

First and foremost, I love music, so any movie that has a singing character on it would be a plus for me. Specially the heart felt ones. I love how Mew writes his song, and I specially love the scene where he sang his own written love song for Tong! Makes me feel thingly inside! And the kiss men, what is happening to me??? Forbidden love is the most real, and sweetest.

Movie is too long though, my short attention span couldn't handle it. The ending is sad, yet real, and in a way peaceful.

I could give this movie a perfect score, but just to be fair I give it 4.75/5

87. Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind (4.95/5)

Again, after 4 months of watching this movie, I am rating it.

This movie is directed by Michel Gondry, the same director for Be Kind Rewind and The Green Hornet. It is written by three people, but the screenplay was written by Charlie Kaufman same writer for the movie Being John Malkovich.

Yes, the movie is high level, and it is very thought-provoking. If you have loved much, and was hurt much, you would definitely relate to this  movie. It may be disturbing and bothering for some, but bothering movies are actually the great ones because they stick to you. They leave something like a message to you that couldn't be taken or erased easily.

Kirsten Dunst character is amazing. Very relatable. Jim Carrie is very good here. So is Kate Winslet.

The human brain is indeed the most interesting and hard to understand part of the human body.

I give this movie 4.95/5

74. Amelie (4.97/5)

If you would ask me how I found out about this movie, you might have a laugh. Having no idea what to download, I then browsed some of my FB friend’s favourite movies. I saw Amelie on some of my friend’s profiles, so I downloaded it. I am very happy to download this movie because it is really great and amazing.

                Amelie is an eccentric woman who sees things differently. She does what makes her happy, she helps people find love, and then she tried finding the man who owns the treasure box she found on her house, and in the end, she finds herself her true love as well.

                I loved this movie. I find myself smiling and laughing several times because of Amelie’s quirkiness. I love her character, she is very free-spirited, and I love that because she doesn’t care about what people would say about her. She simply does what she loves. I really love how she played as a mysterious lady luring the guy she likes. It was like playing games, yet, with a very genuine and child-at-heart motive.

                In conclusion, this movie is light, very fun; it brings back the free-spirited in you. If you want to watch something that could make you feel young, adventurous and free-spirited, watch this. 

I give this movie 4.97/5

73. Hang Over I (3.97/5)

Few weeks ago, Hang Over II was showed in cinemas and had gotten a lot of viewers all over the world. My sister was one of the people who said that Hangover was great, and through her, I had an idea about the movie. Since I know that it is hard to download clear torrent copies of new movies, I downloaded the first Hangover movie rather than the 2^nd one.

                It was a nice laugh watching this movie. This movie makes me remember the feeling of getting drunk and forgetting some of the things you had done the next day. This movie may come over the top, and unrealistic, but it is a comedy, and it is just a movie, so; who cares? As long as it makes us laugh, unrealistic scenes are forgivable.

                The tiger was a good laugh, the dentist with a tooth taken out was funny, and the casino scenes were also great. You can say that this is a level up to those road trip movies we had watched 10 years ago.  

                In conclusion, this movie is a great watch with buddies and friends. If you are up for something fun, something you and your friends could relate to, this is a movie to watch. You can also watch it with your family as well.

I give this movie a 3.97/5

68. In to the Wild (3.75/5)

Just found out that this movie was directed by Sean Penn. The screenplay was also written by Sean Penn. The movie is great,  reminds me of 127 hours, but this one has more depth to it. More story. More like a strong character perspective. The story is about a man who decided to cut his connection to society, live life on his own, the way he wanted it to be. TRUE PRICELESS freedom.

Hahaha, but I can never do what he did.

The character Chris on the movie reminds me of NPAs here in the Philippines. But then I adore this guy for standing up on what he believes in. I admire him for being sure of himself. He is smart and all, but he is weird in some sense.

This is based on a true story which makes it more beautiful.

I give this movie.. goes, why do I end up wanting to grade a movie higher after reminiscing what happen?

I'll add a couple of points.. instead of 3.5, I give this movie 3.57/5

67. 5 centimeters per second (4/5)

I am sappy and cheesy. Even though I don't remember some parts, I remember it as very dramatic. CHEESY. This movie reminds me of some anime I had watched... probably like the anime Boys Be.

I love the picturesque scenes. I love the longing of the characters, the deep love of the characters. Childhood love turned in to... deep, great love.

The story of distance.... so poetic, I love it. Although I am sure some wouldn't like this movie.

But sorry, I do.


I give this movie 4/5

66. Lord of War (3.65/5)

I think I already watched this movie before... I am not just sure... so I am still including this.

I had watched a lot of Nicholas Cage movies, and I discovered his movies are mostly actions. Some are thought-provoking, but there is something in them that makes you sleepy sometimes...

Love the cinematography of this movie. The first part is already interesting, the gun travelling from different places...

Hmmmmm.... now that I remember, the movie really gives a resounding lesson. About war, and the perspective of a man who makes a business out of illegal fire arms.

Great, a great movie. The brother of Nicholas Cage is also a very interesting character here. He may appear weaker, yes, he might be, but he has more compassion and heart.

I JUST REALIZED I MIGHT NOT JUST MAKE A MOVIE WITHOUT COMIC RELIEF ON IT. Even one character that brings fun and lightness...

In spite the resounding lesson, I still give this movie a 3.65/5

64. Diary of a Wimpy Kid (4/5)

After few weeks that I had watched this movie, I am rating. You can throw tomatoes at me now if I rated it 4/5, but then again... I was highly entertained. No-brainer, just a good laugh. I enjoyed it.

I love the vomit prank. So funny, I love it!

And the door knob! Hilarious!

Oh well, I can say that there is really a kid trapped inside me. I am still a kid inside! Haha. Well, I think every is.


I give this movie a 4/5
