11. Fight Club (4.98/5)

Another whooping whoa! Can't help it but say that this movie is freaking insane!

So much violence, yea.. but the suspense and the thrill is literally killing me. The movie might be 11 years old but it can compete with new movies and still win! The shots are great, you wouldn't think that the movie is old. Not a single quite detail would make you think the movie is old-- even the effects, and the shots. The non-linear story telling. :)

At first, I was bored. The voice of the protagonist narrates lazily. But then I was hooked on the scene when he suddenly punches himself. I was like-- what the heck? That is the point when I realized this is a suspense type of movie.

I bet a lot of people could relate to the protagonist. Living life like a routine, that it feels like the society dictates what you should be. Since I am still figuring things out for myself, I decide that I'll be really wild once I turn 25. I'll do a freaking adventure once I am braver enough. :)

Need to re-watch this, I have few questions in my head so I need to re-watch!

My hype for this movie is comparable to INCEPTION. I give this movie a 4.98/5!!!!! 

10. Before The Night Falls (2.5/5)

This movie is about Reinaldo Arenas life- from childhood to his death. This is not your typical mainstream movie. At first, I was mesmerized how Reinaldo's teacher discovered his early talent and sense of poetry. But then-- I was shocked, he is gay. Pft, talented, artistic, attached with emotion guys are always gay. Well maybe not, a straight guy might be out their in Paris, Italy or anywhere that is poetic and artistic but is straight. 

I love his devotion for writing and his experience in writing. I don't know about the Cuban History, but it is just sad that the society oppresses gay guys specially during the war. I admire his guts, his honesty and sense of authenticity.

And Johny Depp was there, oh how Reinaldo lust for Johny Depp.

This gives the audience background about the gay community on Cuba's history, but if you are looking for action, you will definitely get get get bored.

I rate this movie a 2.25/5

9. Vera Drake (4.93/5)

All I can say is whoa. Her acting is really great, as in down right superb! And after I did some little research I found out that she is Umbridge in Harry Potter! Hell yea, you act great! AS IN! Fantastic!!

Watching this movie made me think of the true sense of morality. Own principle, belief, philosophy over law and crime.

Perhaps my description is too vague. To be specific this is a story about a mother, a caring woman who does abortion. The unique thing is that she doesn't think of abortion as a crime. She thinks of it as "helping girls out." The establishment of Vera Drake's character at the first part will make you feel how kind she is, how caring she is-- to the point that you question-- is she a criminal then? If your motives are good, will that make you a bad person then?

Let me quote one sentence: Whatever she did, she did it with the kindness of her heart. :))


No more questions ask. I give this movie a 4.93/5 I'll edit the review soon. :)

8. A Love Story (2.95/5)

Another one from Star Cinema! Weehee! Yea, this one is an oldie but since I found out that this is actually one of the blockbustered movie produced here in the Philippines I got curioused.

Seeing Aga and Maricel having sex is off for me. For me, they are old. But I wanted the twist here and of course, the Unique Selling Factor of the story. Who would have thought that the MISTRESS would be the older woman? That’s freaking cool. The way the scenes are arranged made you think that the mistress is Angelica, so I admired that. Being a trying hard/aspiring creator myself—I know that is not easy to do. So I admired the screenwriter of this movie!

I give this a 2.95/5.
