BLOODSHOT movie review

What would you do if you can heal yourself if you're crushed to your cells and molecules but you unknowingly know that you're being controlled? Columbia Pictures, in association with Valiant Comics, presents Bloodshot, based on the comic book starring Vin Diesel that is now showing in cinemas.

Bloodshot is about a soldier who was resurrected with superpowers, and reintegrates when damaged due to his hi-tech bloodstream. Sent by his creator for mission after mission, he then discovers that his mind has been altered.

The amazing CGI and unsuspecting turn of events is what I really liked about this movie. Can't refrain to compare references based on comic competitors on this. Vin Diesel is ok but I also cannot connect on the actors, except for Eiza Gonzalez or KT. Even the IT experts Wigans (Lamorne Morris) and Eric (Siddharth Dhananjay) are more interesting because of their ingenuity in technology. Guy Pearce made a good villain out of Dr. Emil Harting who was a "good guy and savior" in the beginning.
 
 
You can watch Bloodshot in IMAX, but for now, you have to wait until the quarantine is over. Keep safe everyone. :)

xXx: The Return of Xander Cage movie review

Vin Diesel comes back as Xander Cage in the latest installment of xXx entitled "xXx: The Return of Xander Cage" now showing in cinemas. Thank you Jam 88.3 and Columbia Pictures for the special movie screening invite at IMAX theater.

When the world knows he is already dead, Xander Cage surfaces and takes on a mission with a new team that will save everyone from control of greed and terror. On assignment, he meets another members of the xXx program and teaming up with them would be a tough job -- as what his handles, Augustus Gibbons (Samuel L. Jackson), wants them to do.

The movie is still as action-packed from the previous installments with elements that seem very familiar to everyone. Some stunts are a surprise and never before seen I think. However, I got some issues on some continuity in scenes so I find it odd that they have passed it to the last edit. I guess Vin Diesel has enjoyed doing this a lot and trying to squeeze in some jokes but I think he is better with the serious tone. Ruby Rose and Deepika Padukone are really serious bad-ass ladies and ready to pull the trigger on anyone.

If this movie could have been more hi-tech in surveillance equipment and all, Nina Dobrev would be another serious genius in the movie. Making her a sweet looking nerd.

There is a very special appearance of Miss Universe 2015 first runner-up, Miss Colombia herself at the beginning of the movie. The role might have been more interesting when they got her as the leading lady and they come to the Philippines (oops spoiler!) to shoot the movie.

xXx: The Return of Xander Cage is also available in 3D while I suggest you can be all right to watch it in 2D. Directed by DJ Caruso. Also starring Donnie Yen, Kris Wu, Tony Jaa, Toni Collette, Rory McCann and a special comeback by Ice Cube.

Fast & Furious 7 trailer

Cars are not just for the road, they come from the sky.

And all I can say is #@*t when Paul Walker jumped off a falling truck to a cliff and caught by Michelle Rodriguez with a car. Breathtaking. Adding Jason Statham in the cast is also way too cool! It's like a whole new Expendables with cars. And finally, Michelle Rodriguez in glamorous look. What do you think?

Coming April 4, 2015 in theaters nationwide starring Paul Walker, Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Dwayne Johnson and more. Distributed by Columbia Pictures Philippines.

FAST AND THE FURIOUS 5 movie review

Universal Pictures gives the 5th installment of the hard-core car-busting action overload Fast and the Furious 5: Summer Heist. now back with Paul Walker and Vin Diesel as the dynamic duo with the intensely customized cars in high fashion and speed.

in Fast 5, we look back to how Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) got himself in prison and managed to escape with the help of former enemy O'Connor (Paul Walker). they have moved to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in order to put down a vicious drug lord, Reyes and to escape from the relentless FBI agent, Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson).

joined by his team, they had formulated the best plan to put down the most powerful man in Rio and had successfully made a change in their lives. they had given the value of each other and treated one another as family.

Fast 5 contains more action and story than cars. i think that they had developed more on the story than the machines. there are also more manual fights and blasts. unlike the other 4 prequels, this movie had to be more emotional for the characters other than giving way to the amusement of the eyes to feast on high-end customized cars.

you have to watch until a little bit at the end. you will be surprised on what will be next. there's someone coming back and i think you know her. *hint*

Fast and the Furious 5: Summer Heist begins showing in Philippine theaters starting Cinco de Mayo.
