Vantage Point A Knockout!

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!

The Eye, Remade (Should Never Have Been)!

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.

The Mist, Not For The Faint of Heart!

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!

The Damn Recommends: Jonathan Livingston Seagull!

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?

Dragon Wars A Better Non-Hollywood Adventure!

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!
