THE ARTIST movie review

at last i saw The Artist and i can say that i never regret watching it even though i wasn't very much interested at it first. just as i know is that it was a grand winner from all movie award-giving bodies. and just as it was shown in the opening night of the French Film Festival here in the Philippines, i never let the chance pass to see it. this is a great masterpiece of Michel Hazanavicius letting the experience of silent film in today's generation.
the story is about George Valentin (Jean Dujardin), a silent film actor in the early 20th century. a handsome, famous and thinks he has it all. he cheers everyone with his acting abilities and that he is loved.
until Peppy Miller (Berenice Bejo), a newly discovered actress comes to the scene. her dreams come true one by one starting by getting into George Valentin. they collaborated too in some movies. her star gets brighter in Hollywood until she was offered the first movie with talking.
George Valentin didn't accept this change at first and he laughed about it. later on the new technology in movies was more patronized by the public. his silent films diminish their entertainment value. he didn't see this coming, eventually he loses everything to the point he put his life in danger. on the other hand, Peppy was on his back checking out his whereabouts and conditions. when George is falling down, she supported by buying all his things in order to provide money for him. when he finally accepted his shortcomings, he embraced the changes and he humbled himself to get in the industry again.
what really amazed me is the sound editing. and of course, displaying the production style of silent films before and its further developments throughout the years until what we are witnessing these days. the story is a classic rise and fall of celebrities saying that they can't have it all. life lessons that we have to get out of our comfort zone and embrace changes in our lives.

MADAGASCAR 3 movie review

the unlikely pack of animals, a lion, a giraffe, a hippo and a zebra will once again gets on an adventure while finding their way back home. Alex the Lion, Melman the Giraffe, Gloria the Hippo and Marty the Zebra gives us more laughter in Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted.
homesick and eager to get back to New York, Alex (voice by Ben Stiller) makes way out of the jungle with the help of the penguins. joined by his pack, they accidentally went down from their improvised airplane to London where they are chased by an agile animal officer, Captain Chantel DuBois. she also has the desire to collect animal heads that's why she mainly aimed for Alex.
escaping the police, the 4 animals get themselves to a travelling circus where they have redefined and remodelled -- Madagascar style. there they have discovered that they have been free and home, different from a caged environment in New York City. they appreciated more of what they had on their paws.1
the directorial treatment for this sequel is very shallow but very entertaining for the kids. still, the story of friendship and doing things beyond your limits is shown in this movie. King Julien XIII is as funny as ever. it's better to see this in 3D to enjoy the picture.

Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted opens June 8 in Philippine theaters. produced by DreamWorks Pictures International, distributed by Solar Entertainment Corporation.

LES MISERABLES 2012 trailer released

the dream lives on this Christmas as Universal Pictures revives the well-loved musical Les Miserables in the movie screens. from the novel of the same title telling a story during the French Revolution in 1832.

involving a powerhouse cast with Hugh Jackman as Jean Valjean, Russell Crowe as Javert, Anne Hathaway as Fantine and Amanda Seyfried as Cosette. directed by Tom Hooper, this will probably spark the theater fans to rush to the ticket houses and reserve their slots until it is sold out. i've never seen this on stage but the one with Liam Neeson is quite good.

Hugh Jackman (Valjean) and Russell Crowe (Javert)

the musical on stage lasts about 3 hours so maybe does this movie. but i suggest that you have to stick on the message of it and see yourself in the situation of the cast. you'll hunger for justice and liberty for you and your children. the story will very much reflect of what the society experiences today.

in the teaser trailer that was released recently, we will hear Anne Hathaway performing I Dreamed A Dream. we'll see different scenes from the movie too. i remember Uma Thurman and Geoffrey Rush doing the same thing as with Liam Neeson.
