63. Sorcerer's Apprentice (4/5)

I am again rating after weeks of watching this said film.

Well, I got some few money writing essays so I bought some DVDs. This one I know is intended for kids, and if you are planning of watching something light and no-brainer, you would definitely enjoy.

I like the color, visually appealing. Plot is far too common, remember Nek, the Heroe's journey? but I enjoyed it. it is like watching a simple cartoon.

I also love the OST: Secrets by ONE MAN REPUBLIC YEAH! Although I think it was used inappropriately in the scene. Love of the two characters are far too shallow. But then again, I was entertained. Isn't that supposed to be the essence of movies?

I give this 4/5 because it is simple and I was entertained.

62. In the Name of Love (3.95/5)

Hmmm... I might have scored this a 5/5 if I blogged right after watching the movie. It seems like the feelings melted away as time goes by. I probably watched this on DVD 1 week ago.

I met the person who had written this story/concept. Enrico Santos just cascaded the "Heroes Journey" seminar to us last Monday. I believe that Star Cinema Peeps are very talented and great. To people who ridicule Star Cinema, you just don't know how talented the people there are... I believe that they can make a Hollywood level type of story, it is just that--- we need to face the fact that budget is a very crucial thing in making those visually appealing movies--- the movie industry is business, so they need to make sure that majority of the Filipino people would watch. If you aren't satisfied, try and try to pitch ideas.... if you are impatient... create your own network. :)

Going back to the story: I am starting to like Angel Locsin. I don't really like love her before, but now.. I am learning to appreciate her. Her pole dance was great at the movie, there are times I feel she moves like a guy when she dance seductively.

The character of Angel on the story is very light. She is very childish in the first parts of the movie. I also want to react about Aga always partnered with young hot girls. What's up Aga? Isn't that unfair for other actors?

The other male character, Jake Cuenca-- is best! I remember I really really love him during his younger years. Now, he is older... he is still handsome, but not as before! Going back to the story, I really feel for Jake on the story. She loves Angel so much, but it is just sad that Angel just USED him.

The best scenes for me was the dialogue revelation of Aga and Angel. It was really heartfelt. I realized that Star Cinema love making dialogues or monologues. They see to it that those are dramatic. But people might just recognize it too so I hope Star Cinema could come up of something different.

Lastly, In the Name of Love has a feel of the movie Love Story and I love you Goodbye. Why do they love making movie posters with red as background on it? It looks one and the same already, change the poster background please!

To conclude: This movie showed to us how a person could love after all the years, the anger, the questions. Love could withstand anything.... even time and hate.

I give this move 3.95/5

61. Memento (5/5)

WHOAA!!! This movie was launched 2000, but still it feels brand new.

Well, this movie defied the rules of plot and sequence. 3/4 of the movie I decided I would be giving this movie 3/5 because it is already too confusing. That time I was thinking-- the hell with the writer, just wanting to make this movie to impress. It was like, hey? Am I stupid? Why the hell can't I catch up? But then the ending changed it all! I was like-- HUWATTT??

Cristopher Nolan-- you are such a genius. It would still take 10 years of practice before I could create something this BIG, I mean as an audience it was already hard enough to understand-- imagine making it! It might be really hard playing with sequence and chronological orders.

And the moral lesson? Freaking sad and resounding. Very Similar to Inception!!!!

High-level! But there is one loophole that I read in one review-- if he had started to have a problem on his memory after the incident at the CR, how come he remembers he can't make new memories? It could have been resolved through one Tattoo saying: FACT # 1: YOU DAMAGED your head and cannot make memories. Or, like explaining on the movie that the damage did not happen immediately, it was like a slowly diminishing until he totally cannot make new memories.

Lessons learned: See the bigger perspective of the story. There is always a way to fix loopholes. Do it before filming! :) Haha.

I give this movie 5/5 amazing! I cannot make this type of movie yet! I'll make one in the future maybe-- you know, my goal is changing now-- I just want to inspire more people create something that could be understood and appreciated by more, across all social class and race. Focus first on emotions and inspiration, than making intellectual movies. :)

60. The Beach (3.95/5)

Leonardo, Leonardo, Leonardo. How I wish I was already a movie fanatic before! Because, he is so damn handsome in his younger years! No doubt, the great roles that were given to him when he was young nurtured his acting skills now.

The Beach is so mesmerizing. I love the blue waters, the white sand, the nice clear sky. Oooooh, I just want to go there! But unlike them, I wouldn't stay there forever. I mean, the world is so great, why stay when there are so many ugly and beauty things you could still discover? I might just stay there for 2 weeks at most and I am off!

I was thinking of giving this movie a perfect score while I am on the first part. I love how the main character think internally. But then, when Leonardo was already alone fighting with the Hemp Guys, it don't like it anymore. It feels ewcky and dirty, I felt the feeling of dried salt water in my whole body.

I wanted to react on how mean the Islanders were. They decided to throw out the sick guy to resume to their happiness. By then, it feels like that the island is not beautiful after all.

I also hated Leonardo for killing that guy. So much for self happiness.


I give this movie 3.95/5
