You know, imitating someone is supposed to be the highest form of flattering, so I take that as a compliment. ;)
:D

Jose Rizal's "El Filibusterismo"

Thought that I might as well watch the sequel. For some reason I feel like the quality went down in comparison to the first movie. If I didn't know the story already, I would have no idea who was who. xD;

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

Interesting movie. Different from the first two Mummy movies, though. The idea is still the same, but the movie reminds me more of Indiana Jones movies (especially about the Raiders of the Lost Ark) than the original Mummy movies. I kinda expected Harrison Ford to swoop in at some scenes and starts waving his whip around. :p

Interesting, but kinda clichéd and quite predictable movie. Trailer pretty much says it all, so watch it and decide whether you'd watch this movie or not, if you haven't already. I say give it a chance and, if you don't like it, come back here and I'll give you back the time of your life you wasted watching it. What? I can do that. No, really, I can. ;)

It's a good movie though, I liked that.

The first half is really cool and just flat out awesome. Then it goes downhill fast.


Although hearing Morgan Freeman call somebody a "motherfucker" is worth sitting through the weaksauce second act.

I loved it all the way through, where does it go downhill? :p
Mightve been better with Samuel L Jackson instead of Morgan Freeman.. hmm

Stealth





514UJY5iZAL._SX500_.jpg



So, some genius created an advanced AI capable of learning and adapting. American navy installed the AI into one of their stealth jets, gave the AI total control of the jet, thus eliminating the need for a pilot. During a mission, the AI gave a proverbial middle finger to the navy, went rogue and started attacking targets of its own choosing. Didn't they learn anything from the Terminator movies? :rolleyes:

I just saw Uncle Buck last night. John Candy was a natural. And his car that backfired was a classic!


Some people would love to drive an expensive sports car if they had the opportunity. But I'd rather drive a car like Uncle Buck's anyday.

Looney Toones: Back in Action





looney-tunes-back-in-action-movie-poster-2003-1020249284.jpg



A movie that combines live actors and animated characters, specifically Warner Bros' Looney Toones? Why does that seem so awfully familiar? Hmm... Oh, right:

Ta-da!

Even Michael Jordan makes a cameo appearance as his character from Spacejam, ergo as himself. :D


My favorite part of the movie, you ask? Well, ask no more:

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen





League-of-Extraordinary-Gentlemen-movie.jpg






To quote Wikipedia:

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is an action adventure film set in the late 19th century, featuring an assortment of fictional literary characters appropriate to the period, who act as Victorian Era superheroes. It draws on the works of Jules Verne, H. G. Wells, Bram Stoker, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, H. Rider Haggard, Ian Fleming, Herman Melville, Oscar Wilde, Robert Louis Stevenson, Edgar Allan Poe, Gaston Leroux, and Mark Twain, albeit all adapted for the film. The plot and general atmosphere are very far from those of the original comic book.

Allan Quatermain, Captain Nemo, Dorian Gray, Dr. Jekyll / Mr. Hide, invisible thief, a vampire and Tom Sawyer; all band together to save the world from the guy who hired them to save the world, Professor James Moriarty. Mmmkay...


Overall, the movie is quite fun to watch. I like it how it combines fictional characters from various books. Captain Nemo and his submarine, the Nautilus, are total win. Nemo's First Officer introduces himself by saying "call me Ishmael". *cough* Moby Dick ripoff! *cough* :p

The Core





thecore-2.jpg




So, the Americans built a doomsday weapon of some sort called DESTINI (Deep Earth Seismic Trigger INItiative), a weapon that causes earthquakes. Why? Because if they didn't, someone else would build it and would use it against them, so they wanted to ensure that, in case something like that happens, they can strike back and fu*k up the entire planet because, if they have to go down, they want to take everyone else down with them. Bravo Americans. :rolleyes:


Unfortunately for them, their precious doomsday weapon somehow managed to stop Earth core's rotation when they tested it, causing Earth's electromagnetic field to become unstable and bound to collapse within a year. As a result, the entire planet will be flooded with the radiation from the Sun, effectively killing everyone and everything.


So, to save the planet, the American government developed a super-duper plan to drill their way to Earth's core and restart its rotation by detonating several nuclear weapons inside it.



But hey - it worked. Apparently, nuclear weapons can be used to save the world, just as well as destroy it.

Bee Movie





bee-movie.jpg




Watch this movie if you haven't already. And if you like animated movies, of course. Bees suing the entire humanity for stealing their honey and seeking justice in court - awesome. The main bee character becomes a lawyer at the end and teams up with a mosquito. Cow comes to him to seek justice over the dairy products Humans make from cow milk without paying the cows for it. Suddenly, the bee has to leave, so he leaves his mosquito partner with the cow. Cow asks "He is a lawyer, too?", to which the mosquito replies: "Ma'am, I was already a bloodsucking parasite. All I needed was a briefcase!" Bwahahahahahahahahaha!!!

Prometheus and while it isn't an absymal movie, it wasn't what I expected. I suppose it's my own fault because I went into it with incredibly high hopes because


it was a Ridley Scott film and he pioneered the canon with Alien and it promised to answer many of the questions that series generally posed, but instead, it


planted more questions for me than it answered and I was just generally disappointed. As I said, it's not a horrible film, specially not when compared to some


of the other shows coming out ( Rock of Ages.....need I say more?! ) but it just didn't live up to expectations that I had for it.

Resident Evil: Extinction


resident_evil_extinction.jpg






I never cared much for the Resident Evil movies. I'm not sure if I ever watched the first two (this is the third part) movies in full, from beginning to the end, but I'm familiar with the main story (some super virus turns people into zombies and Milla Jovovich gets to kill them), so I had no problem following the storyline in this movie, if the mindless slaughterfest can be called "storyline". Still, it's not a bad movie, especially for Milla Jovovich fans.


Btw, one of the characters in this movie is called Mikey. ;)

He's a computer nerd type who doesn't stray far from the keyboard, but when he does, he gets attacked, overwhelmed and killed by the zombies. Ouch. ;)

I just saw Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, and while it isn't as hisortically accurate as you might think ( yes guys...that was sarcasm :mstickle: ) it was actually pretty


good. Well, to horror/sci-fi junkie it was pretty good. Old Abe was a bad ass!! I would defintely see it again. It was a better watch for me than Prometheus....
