Brad Meltzer's Book of Fate didn't par with his other classics like the Millionaires, which is my favorite, and the Tenth Counsel, which got me hooked to him. Hope his new book, Book of Lies, fares better!
Good luck, Brad! Good reading to you, fellas!
If you're going for a movie, please skip this one! Nothing new, nothing scary, except paying for your tickets for such a sucky movie! My bum!
Yes, Anne Rice's sequel to the new series is good enough, although I might say that the the first one, Out of Egypt, was a real sweeping epic! The third's gonna be entitled The Kingdom of Heaven! It's not the movie!
Yes it sucks. Jet Li and Jackie Chan wasted their time! Good riddance!
I just saw this inside the bookstore, and I'm sure it's gonna be a good read! You know why? It's because this is the second off a new series by the legendary Anne Rice! I've read the first book, which is entitled Christ The Lord: Out of Egypt. And it rocked!
Anne Rice is known for The Vampire Chronicles, starting off with the infamous Interview with the Vampire. Being a known atheist, she reconverted back to Christianity by 1998. Since then, she was planning to write about the early days of Jesus. And with the release of the new series last 2005, she has won raves and praises all around the world!
Why?
In the book, she portrayed Jesus as a human, with no knowledge of his divinity. Suddenly he accidentally kills a child of his same age, eight years young. Suddenly everyone is afraid of him. What is he? He asks himself. And things will never be the same.
The first book was absolutely stunning. The Damn read this himself! I bet the second's a killer!
Hot book! Hot book!
It's hard to believe, but when was the last time a Sigourney Weaver movie made it to number one?
This is it! It's an electrifying hit!
Rummaging from the style of the Akira Kurosawa flick Rashomon, Vantage Point introduces views of different people, from the secret service agent, to the media, to the tourist, to the terrorists themselves. It was kinda awkward when it started, having different views and sometimes discovering that some of what they was right was absolutely wrong, but in the end, everything came in very smoothly, and it will keep you asking for more!
The president of the United States is shot in a peace summit in Spain. Does he survive? How did it happen? Why did a bomb go off afar from the original scene of the crime? Did the secret service allow this? If yes, then why? Or more interesting: how?
Vantage Point, still in theaters!
Oh, I am a fan of Jessica Alba.
I am also a fan of the original The Eye by the Pang Brothers.
Don't get me wrong. I was really excited about this remake as to how Hollywood would play out an Asian blockbuster. Like how Infernal Affairs was remade into The Departed. That was ok.
You guys read between the lines...
If you wanna sleep, just stay in bed.
Yes, truly!
And because I've seen it. The ending will truly unnerve you.
A night after a storm runs awry as people are stuck inside a supermarket, unable to get out because of a mist settling down on their town.
Pretty B-movie, if you ask me.
But no, thrill after thrill, the movie takes you down farther to an imaginary land of monsters and aliens. It scares you because it truly asks you what are you gonna do in case it happens to you.
Oh yes, there are tentacles, bugs, bats, giants, all of which you haven't before seen in your entire life. And before you know it, you ask yourself this question: do you stay in...out?
A Stephen King thriller, in the tradition of 1408. I dare you to watch it! my stomach hurt bad after watching it. Truly gut-wrenching!
This book was released in 1970, and now it's a guaranteed classic!
This book by acclaimed Richard Bach, is a sort of fable about, you guessed it right: seagulls! The hero, Jonathan, realizes that the life of seagulls is not just about eating. It's more of flying, and discovering new things to do in life! Sounds like a parable? Yes it is.
If you've enjoyed The Little Prince, this one is for you! Even Ray Bradbury enjoyed this story. And it may well change your life!
Oh, a note: the book's 99 pages only, with lots of inserts of pictures of naked... seagulls! What were you thinking?
The Dragon Wars movie is totally produced by a Korean company. Based on a legend of giant snakes, good and bad, fighting to become a celestial dragon every 500 years, has incredible effects. Although still not at par with other Hollywood biggies, it's a good alternative. Still, it casts virtually unknown Americans, the real stars are the giant snakes and hordes of winged lizards and virtual monsters.
It's surprisingly good, with humor injected into the movie, but the story's just shallow. Still, if you wanna just go wow for effects, this is the movie for you.
Still in selected theaters worldwide! Enjoy!
Yes! You can check the lines of droves going to theaters! And no one would disagree. It's better than the original, and till you see the ending. What is page 47 of the Book of Secrets? Well, that won't be revealed, 'cause there would another sequel. that's right! You heard it right here!
Well, part 2 is really big! How in the world would you find a hidden city of gold? That's the quest for this movie: finding it!
Just one question for those who have seen it: how did they prove their ancestor's innocence? I found that part a little too vague. But the stunts and the effects will keep you craving for more!
Bring popcorn!
Yes, to all my fellow friends, happy new year! It's been a long vacation but I'm back!
Now, for starters, we're going to review the new Will Smith remake, I Am Legend.
Now, be honest, if you've seen it, did you like it? First of all, it's only an hour and a half. There's no story, except a man desperate for a companion. And he's completely alone. How boring is that? Very!
Next, there are vampires abound! Did the effects people for this movie suck, or were they doing it with their eyes closed! The vampires appear to be floating off the screen, as if they are not of the movie at all. They seem relatively flat. I've seen better.
Also, Will Smith in the movie eventually finds other people. And what does he do? He kills himself in the process of saving them. Why? Because he's depressed about the death of his dog. Actually, the dog, Samantha, is the best actress in this movie. Everything seems to be just there, without sanity nor reason.
Another is his companion being called by God? Whoa, your horses. Can't they make another story telling how she got the info regarding a village of people unaffected by the virus? Or maybe she's just lying! This loophole reeks as a result of the strike of the scriptwriters of America.
Ok, so you wanna watch it?
I thought so, too.
If you're dumb, go ahead. You'll like it: it''s basically mindless. Perfect for retards.
Oops! I saw it, too. Yuck.
I really can't seem to put my finger into this movie! I'm sorry, DIsney, but this one just isn't worth the wait.
To put things into perspective, Underdog is only a remake of the sixties radio series. I don't know with you guys, but if a character ain't popular and didn't survive the test of time, then probably it is a bad idea. Oh! But to make it into a movie? Now that's worse!
Well, it's for kids. That's your excuse. Excuse me too as I go to the next cinema house!
Yes! Jodie Foster has a new film! I've always been a fan of her since Taxi Driver, and I've always expected her to be choosy with her projects.
She and her boyfriend were attacked by street thugs. Unfortunately, her boyfriend dies. She avenges him by little acts, being in the streets, killing off thugs one by one. Is she right? Is she wrong?
Are you brave enough to watch this movie? It poses a serious question as to what would you do i it ever happened to you?
A strong performance! Watch it!
Ok. Catherine Zeta Jones with an american accent is just better than with a British accent. Well, this is a drama about a chef who has no life. Then she inherits her sister's daughter, who has nowhere else to go. She, the chef, further realizes that her lie is really down the drain.
Then a love interest comes along in the form of another cook. You know the rest of the story. We've seen this before. But with the hit of the other cooking movie, Ratatouille, we know that people are still gonna bite for this one.
From the director of the movie, Shine, which was a little bit better.
It's out on your favorite cinema now, that is, if you're in love or what-not!
Yeah, I'm talking about the new movie featuring Adam Sandler. What I love about this actor is that all he does is comedies. But each one has an extra twist to it. I became an instant fan when I saw his Wedding Singer, co-starring with Drew Barrymore. I was even more addicted to him when I saw 50 First Dates, featuring love in recurring fashion.
Now it's a weirder version of love as straight best friends "marry" each other to protect each others' interests. Now the government is checking out their "gay" marriage as a sexy government agent, Jessica Biel, probes into their "lovelife" further!
This movie is a riot!
Oh and directed again by that Dugan guy! He's funny.
Watch it! Enjoy it! Don't say we didn't warn you!
Two words for you to watch this flick: Monica Bellucci! Now that's a goddess! Remember her from the Matrix Trilogy? The girl in white spandex? She was so hot! Imagine...
No, sorry. My mind drifted away. Well, this is an interesting action flick, combining action with smooth one-liners and lots of funny moments. I'm also a fan Paul Giammati's works. My personal favorite is him in that wine movie, Sideways. It won an academy for Best Screenplay. So you better watch out for this guy!
Just seeing Monica in her sexy mode again just makes me feel...
Watch Shoot 'Em Up! I bet it's good! Also with that dramatic British guy who's now in an action movie. Forgot his name though. Oops. Cut! Cut!
Yes, it's a remake of the classic Rear Window by... you guessed it, Alfred Hitchcock! Although the remake is more guided by the modern setting and culture per se, it still gives you the creeps to think of your neighbor as a serial killer!
The story starts with Shia LeBeouf being sentenced to home detention for three months for attacking a teacher. Upon the start, he goes bored and starts spying on his neighbors and what they do. He notices his mysterious neighbor doing odd things in the night, thus suspecting him as a serial killer.
Is our hero right, or is he just going nuts? Find out! Watch it! Creepy! Scary! It's a total romance flick for the faint of heart!
Ok. If you're really gullible then you better run to the grocery and grab your needs for a fall-out shelter. No, this is the new Nicole Kidman thriller, co-starring Daniel Craig. I like sci-fi thrillers, and this is a perfect example of paranoia coming to life!
The story starts with a space rocket falling into our orbit crashing. It spreads an unknown virus that attacks the individual during rem sleep. Trouble starts when the virus starts eradicating free will. That's when starrer Nicole Kidman gets involved. She notices her psycho patients getting fewer and fewer, evidently leaving only one, who is supposedly immune to the virus and is being targeted for death by the hostile invaders. She even gets more involved when her son is also discovered to be immune to the virus, thus also targeted for death. Worse, she is also infected. If she falls asleep, all is doomed! She will kill her own son!
How's that for a thriller!
Watch it! Prepare to be invaded! Bring popcorn!
Seriously, I kid you not, mere mortal! Thy Marvel's Thor is back, merrily!
So he's supposedly back from the realm of the dead, right? And now, with the events of World War Hulk unfolding right before your eyes, he's going to Tony Stark, Iron Man and Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., to get answers from him! His first and biggest question: why thoust clone me!
And believe me, you don't wanna get in his hate list. Dudes, this is the God of Thunder or not!
Real god or not, he's packing full power, courtesy of Mjolnir, his hammer. And things are just starting!
Pick up issue no. 1 of Thor! If you still can!
