First time I heard about the reboot I had to climb into my brain to figure out what exactly was so wrong about Superman Returns. Wiki was quick to remind me that it had a solid story and a strong cast, and it turned out–as it always does–to be about the money, or rather lack thereof. Well WB shouldn’t worry about this new outing. And from what I have seen and despite a few things I have heard, Man of Steel definitely deserves its box office receipts. With Zack Snyder and Chris Nolan at the helm I knew I…

This movie had a really great trailer. A sweeping view of the forest as the camera zooms to follow a Leafman, scored with a great song that sounds like something Deathcab for Cutie would do. This snippet of the adventure continued as the film rolled, starting the story of MK (Amanda Seyfried), a 17-year old girl presumably visiting her estranged father Professor Lombard (Jason Sudeikis). The eccentric professor could not be too bothered by the reappearance of his daughter as he is in the middle of proving the existence of tiny little people in the forest surrounding his home. Yes.…

I realize this review is hilariously overdue. But in the grand scheme of the world that is the Internet, sometimes time moves so fast it becomes irrelevant. Yeah, that’s just an excuse. Haha. But I digress. And I don’t have an entire essay about Iron Man 3 anyway. As I have said, by this time everyone has watched and re-watched and raved about the sublime awesomeness of this movie. Just two things I’ve picked up from Marvel‘s most recent comic-book movie outing: 1. Nuking an alien wormhole and surviving to not enjoy telling the tale will cause paranoia and panic attacks.…

Yes, I am at least two weeks late. But yes, I am still writing about it, which should tell you a lot about what I thought about this movie. Spoiler alert: two thumbs up, a few salty tears, and a belly aching from laughter. Star Cinema and Viva Film‘s latest outing It Takes a Man and a Woman reunites Sarah Geronimo and John Lloyd Cruz in their blockbuster roles as the cheerful yet painfully naive Laida Magtalas and blunt, egotistic, son of a billionaire Miggy Montenegro.

I had no plans of watching this film for two basic reasons – 1. I had virtually no time to waste, and 2. I was pretty much ready to retire Twilight and the entire concept of forbidden love in a little cramped box that is my adolescence. I thought we all have to stop romanticizing forever and grow up. But as a sucker for guilt trips and free tickets, I thought and hoped two more hours of adolescent cliche shouldn’t hurt very much. Based on a novel of the same name, the film Beautiful Creatures tells the tale of Ethan Wate,…

The only thing I knew about the Die Hard films was that it was Joey and Chandler‘s favorite movie. Good thing my sparse knowledge doesn’t matter, because apparently none of the preceding four films had anything to do with the latest one. A Good Day to Die hard is the fifth, and possibly not the last film in the franchise. That is if the fact that Bruce Willis can still hold and shoot many guns and barrel an armored Mercedes Benz truck through a vicious car chase scene at his age is indicative of anything. Also the film did well…
