MAMA movie review

i was very prepared to see this MAMA movie but i still get the frights when i saw it. Guillermo Del Toro directing this movie would be a seller. and with Jessica Chastain, being one of the nominees in this year's Oscar, you may want to check her acting skills.

this is about a couple who were driven to take care of their nieces who were lost in the forest for years, who unbelievably survived. as investigations came with their interviews and what-not, they discover unnatural and disturbing things happening to the orphans.

fright scenes were really scary as they should. i was tucking myself into my chair when i know that the scare is coming. when you watch it, you can even decide who's even scarier.

there are just some points that you can associate MAMA with other horror films. Asian horror films like The Grudge and The Ring, with a mix of western films with exorcism blends in this movie.the visual effects are distinguished to be of Guillermo del Toro. it is to based on his Pan's Labyrinth visuals.

MAMA opens February 6 2013 on Philippine theaters nationwide. distributed by Solar Entertainment Corporation.

HITCHCOCK movie review

Psycho has truly made an icon out of Alfred Hitchcock. the director that we all knew about this thriller and has been a peg in other gruesome mind-torturing movies. in HITCHCOCK, we learn more about the person himself and how a person finds achievement and beauty despite being surrounded with people who disagree.
i've seen that in Hitchcock, played by Anthony Hopkins, a great person is not born, but made. Hitchcock's dedication in pursuant of making Psycho is not a straight road to success. in the course with his wife (Helen Mirren), the journey turned into a wildlife as he almost trusted nobody. making the movie Psycho was not easy as it was conceptualized and executed but you will find it funny, interesting before the horror.
Alfred Hitchcock has written his life like a movie. in this, he appears very perfectionist but humble in his rights. and in this life he experiences what most of us do.

i liked how they depicted Hitchcock with make-up and even expanded Anthony Hopkins' body with prosthetics. i've not seen him in interviews and all, but the character immersed in Anthony Hopkins like it was really him. great job for the acting. Helen Mirren, Jessica Biel and Scarlett Johansson were all great in the co-production of Psycho. Helen Mirren, we can say, that she controlled Hitchcock more powerfully than any of his women. behind the man's success is a woman.
HITCHCOCK is a stellar movie you shouldn't miss. exclusively seen at Ayala Cinemas starting February 6.

THE MAN WITH THE IRON FISTS movie review

if you hunger for violence, blood, slashing blades with marvelous costumes and killer moves, The Man with the Iron Fists will satisfy your cravings as Quentin Tarantino brings assassins and warriors in the screen.

the movie created heroes and villains in their fighting armor playing with mind games as they all hunt for gold set in feudal China period. aside from swords and guns, our characters have kick-ass moves that gets your internals out. more gore is a Quentin Tarantino signature.

however, the movie was a little bit confusing in some ways. you will look out who really is "the man with the iron fists." i was never right when i guessed it until more than 2/3 of the movie. soundtrack choice is good but it didn't jive into the time and setting of the movie. Kill Bill was better than this. and RZA should get more acting skills if they are planning to have a sequel to this movie.

with a lot of violence and a scene with sexual content, you shouldn't have your kids see this movie. better to see it in home video.

THE MAN WITH THE IRON FISTS opens January 30 in theaters nationwide. distributed by Solar Entertainment Corporation.

GANGSTER SQUAD movie review

we're back to post-war period in Los Angeles and Mickey Cohen rules the city in his unruly ways. the life of Mickey Cohen, his gang and the group that led his downfall, is portrayed in Warner Bros. Pictures' GANGSTER SQUAD.

Mickey Cohen, played by Sean Penn, is in the look out by LA police officer Sgt. John O'Mara (Josh Brolin) and his secret crew of former officers. the mob king definitely made a fortune in Los Angeles which every citizen grew a scare on him. Mickey Cohen's staff were gone one by one and the victims were rescued.

the process of finding his skilled secret crew is no joke but definitely funny as they get along. brains, fighting skills, gun handling and even staying sleek in suit is a sure requirement for his men.

on the other note, we'll have a romantic angle with Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone as they deal with the odds as Jerry Wooters and Grace Faraday. it seems that this movie just had to have it.
Josh Brolin for me lacks that kind of charisma to lead the squad. and I'd think that Anthony Mackie and Robert Patrick has more skills than him but he nailed his role punching Mickey Cohen down.

directed by Ruben Fleischer, GANGSTER SQUAD opens in cinemas, January 30, 2013. distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures Philippines.

experience G.I. Joe Retaliation in 3D

in the sequel of the great action heroes of my childhood, G.I. Joe Retaliation will be best experienced in 3D format in our local cinemas.

on March 30 (Philippine time), the Joes will not only combat their mortal enemy Cobra but they are forced to contend with threats from within the government that jeopardize their very existence.

already saw an amazing preview of the movie in their battle against their enemies in the high mountains. the 3D preview gives a very sharp appreciation of Storm Shadow's throwing stars, swords, etc. heights are also a big deal in this format and deep cliffs are well-defined.

GI Joe Retaliation cast is lead by Channing Tatum, and Dwayne Johnson and Bruce Willis joins them as Joe Colton. directed by Jon M. Chu and distributed in the Philippines by Solar UIP Philippines.
