ANNA KARENINA movie review

from the classic novel from Leo Tolstoy, ANNA KARENINA is set in the late 19th century of the Russian high-society.
this film presents the social life of the aristocrat Anna Karenina (Keira Knightley), a beautiful young woman who had an affair with an affluent Count Vronsky (Aaron Taylor-Johnson). despite her good life with a much older husband, Aleksei Karenin (Jude Law), her choice of loving Vronsky raises, of course, negative perceptions among the people surrounding them. gossips and ridicules have covered the once perfect life of Anna and her husband. but despite this, Aleksei remained true to his love and "took her back" by adopting the child she bore with Vronsky.
the classic was well presented in the a new manner that i've never seen before but well loved it. the movie starts in a theater stage and this stage converts into different dimensions and scenes to present the story. i think everybody will agree that this is very artistically done. and the actors were well cast, i just don't know how to feel about with Aaron Taylor-Johnson. direction and costumes are great. i just have to reiterate about the production value that they had raised over this.

opening February 20 in Megaworld Lifestyle Malls, Lucky Chinatown, Eastwood and Newport Cinemas, ANNA KARENINA is distributed by Solar Entertainment.

SEEKING A FRIEND FOR THE END OF THE WORLD movie review

a heart-striking drama and Steve Carell like you've never seen him before, puts on good emotion and hope for everybody to find his/her true love despite of an impending apocalypse in SEEKING A FRIEND FOR THE END OF THE WORLD. opening today in Glorietta and Greenbelt cinemas by Focus Features.

as an asteroid nears to put absolute destruction to the earth, Dodge (Steve Carell) finds himself alone as his wife also left him for an unknown reason. as all panic in the forthcoming destruction, he finds his own purpose on how to spend the remains of his life. finding his high school sweetheart from far away was his neighbor Penny (Keira Knightley) who didn't catch the flight to go back to her family. so together, with the very prompt Dodge and wasted Penny, they didn't think that their differences would compliment each other.

others might resolve on crazy ways like sex and alcohol, on how to spend their pre-apocalyptic life, the two agreed to help each other to get to where they needed to. along the way they meet friends whom they learn some lessons about life, which also brought the two closer.

the sweetest part is that they please each other in order to achieve what they needed in the first place. this is not a comedy movie but the drama makes you think to spend each day special for everyone around you. you might not know that it would be your last time together so make the most out of it.
