69. The Secret of Kells (3.95/5)

Great animation, great animation, great animation. Rich vivid colors, unique drawings, unique lines and shapes.

I love it visually. REALLY.

Story-wise, it is for kids. Honestly, since I am a kid at heart and I am trying to write a fantasy now for work...  this piece of masterpiece made my mind wonder...  I even thought of a fantasy character! I don't know why, but even though the movie is simple, it made my imagination working! Nice one!

About a boy who wanted to see the book that has magical powers. The boy who has the courage to oppose his ruling brother... in belief there is so much to learn, and their are other ways. Very free-spirited kid.

I give this a 3.95/5

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
