QUANTUM OF SOLACE Review

QUANTUM OF SOLACE is the first Bond sequel movie ever and even though it may not be in the same character-driven level as Casino Royale, in a way it serves as a rite of passage, a transition that would eventually lead us to the usual… Read more
MAX PAYNE Review

MAX PAYNE puts heavy emphasis on the visual effects more than anything. I was not big on the video game that it’s based on, I only had the chance to play it once or twice but I’m not sure if the movie version fully captures the spirit of the character. I never thought… Read more
BABYLON A.D. Review

How can something that was supposed to be promising end up to be so disappointing?! BABYLON A.D. should get nominated for one of the worsts Sci-Fi action flick of the year because by the time you finish watching this crapola… Read more
SUKIYAKI WESTERN DJANGO Review

This is one very unique movie. SUKIYAKI WESTERN DJANGO is entertaining, a visual feast and a very poetic storytelling with comedy and style. It’s bound to become an instant cult hit. If you’re into… Read more
DEATH RACE Review

Dude! This movie is hardcore pure action and injected with high dose of testosterone! Fast cars, kill or be killed, hot women, explosives, o and did I mentione hot-ass women?! Who needs a plot when you can have this much fun! DEATH RACE is a man’s movie, from… Read more
THE MUMMY: TOMB OF THE DRAGON EMPEROR Review

Well, this is just sad, if there’s a sequel that makes you hope the franchise would stop right there and then once and for all, it’s this one. THE MUMMY: TOMB OF THE DRAGON EMPEROR is like an unpleasant thrill ride. You’re treated with… Read more
THE DARK KNIGHT Review

This is not just the best Batman movie, this is not just one of the best Superhero movies out there, this is, deservingly so, one of the best movies I’ve seen in recent years. Director Christopher Nolan and his brother screenwriter Jonathan and fellow David Goyer have crafted… Read more
HELLBOY II: THE GOLDEN ARMY Review

I’m not sure whether to categorize this as action, comedy or romance because it does have a little bit of those three elements. Whether it uses those three to the maximum capacity is… Read more
BATMAN: GOTHAM KNIGHT Review

Gotham Knight is thunderous way to open for the movie THE DARK KNIGHT. It is groundbreaking and more visionary than Animatrix. The 6 short films compiled into one excellent journey that takes us into the mythology of Bruce Wayne/Batman. The action sequences will give… Read more
HANCOCK Review

Superhero Will, I’m sure all his fans have thought of him that way before this movie ever happened. HANCOCK is an unlikely superhero movie with a twist that may not be that surprising but it does its job in explaining the origin and the mythology behind… Read more
WANTED Review

“Shoot this MothaF*cka!” a catchy line said by Morgan Freeman’s character is going to go down in history as one of the most memorable taglines ever, up there in the same level as ‘Say Hello to My Little Friend’. WANTED is as ridiculous as it is awesome. The concept is so far fetched, and yet… Read more
THE INCREDIBLE HULK Review

Take a deep breath when you enter the cinema to see this one because it’s just downright breathtaking. THE INCREDIBLE HULK is an amazing summer blockbuster movie. This reboot has made Ang Lee’s Hulk back in 2003 seem like it never existed. Edward Norton’s version portrays what Hulk is supposed to be… Read more
INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL Review

I’m a big fan of Indiana Jones and I’m a big fan of the trilogy and I gotta tell ya, I’m very disappointed by this fourth installment. INDIANA JONES 4 is a major let down. When I heard months ago that Steven Spielberg was going to incorporate his fascination with aliens into this movie, I thought I could let it slide, but the result is not only far-fetched, it’s extremely ridiculous. They should not have made this movie at all. But… Read more
SPEED RACER Review

I have never seen a movie with so much colors. The whole imagery is just begging to say, Taste The Rainbow! You may have to get some special shrooms to enjoy movies like Across the Universe, but you can definitely enjoy SPEED RACER without them. This is… Read more
IRON MAN Review

Dude! I don’t even know how to begin the praises. IRON MAN opens Summer 2008 with a blaze of glory. It’s exhilarating, it’s super cool and eye-popping and jaw-dropping at the same time. A first rate action movie with… Read more
THE FORBIDDEN KINGDOM Review

I expected the movie that first brought two great martial art legends to be something extraordinary, but THE FORBIDDEN KINGDOM is not amazing but it’s not bad either. It pays tribute to classic Kung Fu movies and its various fighting styles (tiger, crane, snake, you name it). Those of us who are fans of either Jet Li or Jackie Chan will be… Read more
STREET KINGS Review

STREET KINGS is a mean machine, action-packed movie. It’s got lots of bullet to keep you fixed on the story. Director David Ayer who wrote Training Day has found his next trophy. The movie’s not afraid to go… Read more
SHINE A LIGHT Review

This is an awesome concert movie. Martin Scorsese has done it again. Using 16 cameras to capture The Rolling Stones every move, the movie successfully dances along with Mick Jagger and delivers the excitement you’d feel if you were watching it live. The choreography, the lighting, the sound, it reminds you of… Read more
NEVER BACK DOWN Review

NEVER BACK DOWN isn’t bad at all. The movie’s trailer and marketing strategy haven’t done this movie justice but once you see it, you’ll find out that it’s actually more than just a fight movie. When I saw the footage a while ago, I thought what in the world was… Read more
