Transformers: Age of Extinction


Napanood namin ito ni Sillybear sa SM City North EDSA noong July 11, 2014 using my free movie pass from Convergys. Since kagagaling lang sa laro sa Farmer’s + last full show + sa sobrang haba ng pelikula = nakakatulog na kami kapag hindi exciting ang scenes (well, konti lang naman, more on fighting scenes kasi ang part na ito). Wala na ang mga Decepticons sa pelikula, dahil hina-hunt down ng mga tao kasama si Lockdown (isang bounty hunter) Gumawa na ang tao ng sarili nilang version gamit ang transformium at bahagi ng ibang Decepticons (and Autobots).

-Hindi ko alam kung ito na ba ang last in the series dahil nakatakas si Galvatron.
-Na-curious tuloy ako sa mga “Creators” na nababanggit sa movie.
-Saan pupunta ang mga Dinobots after the movie??

The Ugly Truth (2009)

A romantically challenged morning show producer is reluctantly embroiled in a series of outrageous tests by her chauvinistic correspondent to prove his theories on relationships and help her find love. His clever ploys, however, lead to an unexpected result.

Nakakatuwa ang romantic comedy na movie na ito. Tinuturuan ni Gerard Butler si Katherine Heigl ng mga ‘dating moves’, only to find out na sila rin pala ang magkakatuluyan – sa kama LOL!

Rating: 7.0 / 10

Gravity (2013)

Hindi nakakapagtaka kung bakit nakiha ni Cuarón ang Best Director para sa movie na ito. Maganda talaga yung pag-gawa niya, ang hirap naman kasi i-direct ang isang movie na sa space ang location kagaya nito. Good and also an inspiring storyline.

Opening title card: At 600KM above planet Earth the temperature fluctuates between +258 and -148 degrees Fahrenheit. There is nothing to carry sound. No air pressure. No oxygen. Life in space is impossible.

Sandra Bullock: Fuck!
George Clooney: Copy that.

My rating: 8.4 / 10

Curse of Chucky

Serial killer Charles Lee Ray once again returns in the form of a “Good Guy” doll in this sixth installment of the Child’s Play franchise. Series creator Don Mancini returns to direct from his own script, which finds Chucky in the home of a fractured family with whom he has a decades-old grudge with

Hachi: A Dog’s Tale (2009)

Rating: 8.2

Truly a tearjerker, the warm and touching story is portrayed really well. Highly recommended for people of all ages. And I’m definitely considering getting an Akita.

A schoolboy reports on his hero: Hachiko, his grandfather’s dog. In a flashback, a puppy at a Japanese monastery is crated and sent to the US. The crate’s tag tears, and when the puppy pushes his way out of the crate at the train station of a small Rhode Island town, Parker Wilson, a professor of music in nearby Providence, takes the dog home for the night. His wife isn’t happy about it, but after failing to find the owner, she lets the dog stay. A Japanese friend reads the dog’s tag – “Hachiko” or “Eight,” a lucky number. Parker can’t teach the dog to fetch, but the friend explains that the dog will forge a different kind of loyalty. Tragedy tests that loyalty. – IMDB.

Total Recall (2012)

Bravo para sa remake na movie na ito! Maganda ang difference nito sa una Cinematography, dramatization, scores, at visual effects

Sa una nakukuha ko ang storyline – dalawang mega-cities nalang ang natira dahil sa future bio-chemical warfare, Great Britain at The Colony (Australia). Para makapunta sila sa kabilang lugar, dadaan sila gitna ng Earth na tinatawag nilang ‘the Fall’. Para sa plot, check niyo na lang sa Wikipedia.
