Thor (2011)

I've always been so enthralled whenever I hear that there is a movie featuring a magical world stuff genre and Chris Hemsworth as Thor is here to satisfy your Mythological hunger!

Thor 2011 directed by Kenneth Banagh and Joss Whedon is a truly magnificent film, and I tell you, if you ever had a chance to watch this I say DO IT! I mean it! This movie is so good it got me all hyped up to write this review and i don't even know where to start!

Thor features the journey of Thor himself traversing the world of we mortals live in, Earth; due to the actions of his "brother" he was exiled to the mortal world. Soon found himself left and abandoned on Earth he was not only bumped once but twice by Jane Foster, an astro-physicist who helped Thor get back into Asgard his home world. 

I've always loved this kind of stuff, especially because the special effects used are not too shabby, in fact, its truly magnificent and I can say its a job well done!

I will highly recommend this movie to my friends to watch this.

I now Pronounce you Chuck and Larry (2007)

I now Pronounce you Chuck and Larry is a Hilariously funny movie about 2 straight firefighters pretend to be gay in order to gain domestic partner benefits which turns everything to a test to their friendship and to their closest friends. The movie itself should not be targeted as Gay itself, this is not some sort of movies like Another Gay Movie, this movie gives some more, something else.

"This movie will sure give you lots of laugh, I find this movie amusing and entertaining and of course, ridiculously funny."    

The characters, the place and the story goes real good. The movie won't leave you hanging just real funny scenes.

Bottom line, well all things went right, no obscuring properties, and as far as I'm concerned I only good stuff in this movie, its really good and worth watching. and once again, Adam Sandler never fails to make a really funny comedy movie, good stuff...good stuff.

Help me I'm on Fire *pose*

I really find this scene really specially funny, I just don't know why. LOL. Some crazy Homo on a firefighter suit.

Sunshine (2007)

Sunshine 2007 directed by Danny Boyle, a Science Fiction movie set on Icarus II, their voyager set to create a new star out of Sun due for the Sun will die if not renewed. About 50 years in the future, a group of scientists and astronauts gathered together to set a journey in reviving their dying Sun by dropping the "Payload" onto Sun creating a huge implosion onto the Sun's surface thus reviving the Sun's primary power. 

Alas! Another good Sci-Fi movie. Well, really I can well say that this movie is worth watching, the special effects, the actors, the atmosphere, everything is truly remarkable but as for me, I find this movie too fast...I don't know, somehow I get to miss some parts like when they set foot on the Icarus I, I just thought they were going outside the ship blah blah blah until they went inside saying "We're inside Icarus I" and I was like, "they're there?" Its just that they didn't informed the viewer that they're going inside before going into Icarus I right? Also, a comment to Pinbacker, why is he looking like that? Why is it that he is distorted when the camera turns into him? Why didn't he died when Capa turned the Sunlight at maximum at the observatory room? Why did Pinbacker wants to sabotage the Icarus Project? How did he managed to survive 7 years alone in a middle of nowhere? How I wished they put more background onto him and the little video about him didn't help at all. 

If you want to know the movie more, you can read it here at Wikipedia.

Bottom line, this movie deserves a 5 star but due to the questions I have I think I will give it 4 ----but what the heck? I'll give it 5! 

      

1408 (2007)

The movie 1408 is both horrifying and thrilling in a sense where you are being tortured by mind. The movie itself is indeed at first quite laggy, boring but as the movie progresses you will start to freak out. At the middle-end I thought everything was alright (Yey! A happy ending!), but I guess I was wrong...

Directed by Mikael Håfström, this movie turned out nice, the special effects are nice, the ghosts looked like techy for they disappeared like a monitor screen being plugged out instantly. The movie is confusing, at first, for the movie is being re winded and goes forth and so, its so mind bending.

The movie is like The Grave Encounters-ish type, because of the "being transported into a different dimension" story but then again this movie was filmed first so I give the uniqueness and creativity to the Director, good job!

The movie is thrilling but no screaming, no frightening stuffs except for the One Missed Call dude (the creepy undead Mike Enslin found at the air shaft). No peek a boo, just frightening, torturish and mind bending stuffs. Altogether, I'll give this film a 5 star rating (wohoo!) for the great story and acting, worth watching even to those who are weak hearted ^^. Cheers!

The Blair Witch Project (1999)

The Blair Witch Project directed by Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez is a Horror film featuring three college student making their a documentary uncovering whether the Blair Witch were true or not and soon find out that they're being hunted by the witch itself.

To be straight forward, I myself did not enjoy the movie nor liked it, well each people have their own taste when it comes to horror movies and even so, I'll give credit to the looping back to the same place scenes and voodoo item scenes for I kinda find them really scary --out in a middle of forest seeing those strange runic trinkets will really make even the calmest person to insane paranoia.

I guess the comments I found were not accurate in the present time, the 10/10 rating would be an inappropriate score when today's rating would be plotted. A big no-no. 

In comparison in other movies, I more like The Tunnel why? First of all, the movie neither state nor let the audiences know who or what the witch looks like and what about the children? What was that all about? What happened to Josh anyway? What about the slime? What is the reason Josh were taken? You see movies that leaves a lot of to the audiences often makes them frustrated.

Stake Land (2010)

Stake Land directed by Jim Mickle is one heck of a movie that I love. Aside from Zombies, Vampires are also one of my likes (well they look zombies to me!). I totally liked this movie for this movie features the survival of normal people without any military help against Vampires, which makes this movie thrilling and exciting.

This movie took place at a post-apocalyptic war where vampires roam to kill Humans. Actually one more thing I love about this movie is the "cult" in this movie, it really added some twist in the movie; its like watching The Road, 28 days later and Book of Eli.

The movie itself is filled with thrill, action and a pinch of drama. One more thing, I'm really confused at the end for Mister left without any word...why is that? Also I'm kinda disappointed yet excited for the ending. The ending left me hanging BUT also left me excited for I know that there will be a sequel to this one.

I really do hope that the sequel will be done soon and I'll be rooting for it. And for the bottom line, Magnificent no goofs and stuff, highly polished and the narration was good truly added more spice in the movie. 5 stars.

Oh yeah, before I forgot, I wonder why did Jebediah Loven Resurrected as a high level vampire --that can talk? How did it happened?

Superhero Movie (2008)

The Superhero Movie is really hilarious, from the start til end. In this movie, I didn't expect much so grand but hey, this movie is not too shabby compared to some parady movies created before this for I have a really good laugh from time to time; although I feel kinda missing something and how I wished there were more Superheroes featuerd in this movie...since the title is Superhero Movie.

Overall, Actually there is nothing more to review in this movie for I haven't rewied other movies in this genre, so I don't know if they're acting right or wrong but hey! The movie is Hilarious and bold. You will not grow bored watching this film. 

Comment, did Drake Bell shaved his eyebrows? Also I like the Leslie Nielsen, he's seriously funny. Thumbs up!   

I love these lines:

Chief of Police: The woman, Lucille Adams of East Empire City, was badly injured.

Reporter: How was she injured?

Chief of Police: Badly. 

What is your Daily Facial Regimen?

What do you do to keep pimples/blackheads at bay? You know what they say:

"Prevention is the Key"

You know, when people asked me what I do, I'd say this and that and they'll say: "Hey, isn't it like overkill or over to top or just simply paranoid?" And I was like: "Well I'm not done talking yet"

It is only natural for us to have pimples on face, body etc. especially when we reach the stage of puberty, I'm sure that most people does (and there are also some are fortunate enough that are "immune" to acne breakouts). Okay so, whats with the quotation up there? That's a quote I learned from watching a video on YouTube and i forgot what video was it but then again I'm using it for it has a really great meaning, you know, lets say an example, why fix broken toy when you can prevent it from breaking? Get the meaning? Its our face, why let acne breaks in our face when we can prevent it from coming?

Pimples are indeed one of the problems teens are facing today.

"How am I going out with this Zit on my forehead?!"

"Great I have a date tonight and..whats with this over sized pore Uggh!"

Well, based on studies Men are indeed "more" prone to acne breakouts due to their large pores on their face making their pores more vulnerable to dusts and pollution and considering our modern age, men have to take care of themselves as women take care of themselves! 

So now what's you day-to-day skin care regimen? I'm going to tell mine first so here goes.

For my Facial Foam, I use L'oreal Men Expert Pure and Matte Bright Charcoal Black; While I was browsing the stocks although there are a lot of products to choose from this one got me, I read the description and it was nice, it has Salicylic Acid by the way, Salicylic Acid is used to help clear and prevent pimples and skin blemishes in people who have acne. This is my everyday cleanser, why? I happen to like the black stuff and since it contains Salicylic Acid I don't have to worry much of acne breaking out and I also like the musky scent from it; you will actually smell it if you smell it directly.

For my Exfoliator, I use 2, one in the morning after waking up and one before going to sleep. I'm talking about St. Ives Apricot Scrub Blemish and Blackhead Control, at first time of using St. Ives, I find this really icky, its so textures as if I'm using sand as an exfoliator so I changed this to St. Ives Apricot Scrub Invigorating, although both are somewhat the same in texture, this one is more gentle less friction on the face so I like this more. I only use this every morning, I rarely skip this regimen.

The other one I use is Loreal Men Expert Pure and Matte Anti-Clogged Pores Exfoliating Gel, this one when i first bought this I thought its expired. Really! Because when I shook it Its like what the, and when I tried it on there's no Bubbles coming out! Well, actually I only bought this because of the comments flying around in this product so I decided what the heck, I'll give this a shot and walla! It turns out to be just good. The scene was nice too the texture is fine and the after wash effect is nice too, it leaves your skin refreshed somewhat tight but it will ease off then leaves your skin soft and smooth.

Third will be my Toner, yes. Actually I only started using toner when I read this on a blogsite (once again, I forgot what was the site but I'll try to give to you the link as soon as I figured it out) but don't be confused with astringent - toner idea for Toners are  primarily used to clarify the skin, keep the skin hydrated and moisturized, refresh tired complexions, improve skin tone and reduce the appearance of fine lines. While Astringents are used to remove dead skin cells, reduces acne and controls oil. Astringents are good for Oily skin for it gives Matte look while Toners are for sensitive skin which is made from alcohol free ingredients.

Well, right now I still have this Toner with me Neutrogena Alcohol-free Toner by which reminds me that I should have brought an astringent for i have an oily skin but I don't like alcohol or chemical based astringent onto my face so I decided to try this "alcohol free" toner, well this toner gives a hospital like scene which you'll love, and yes, it does gives off a filmy look onto my face as If I have plastic wrapped onto my face (literally, after few hours wearing it on, and when I looked at the mirror ---*gasp!*).

Fourth is my Mask/Pack. I use this once a week or 2 when I feel like it (I have a pretty tight schedule). I use Himalaya Neem Face Pack, by the way, Neem packs are absolutely good for Oily skin types for this absorbs all oil in your skin for 1-2 days, no kidding! I've tried this once and at first I have my doubt but after the application and rinsed it well fort he whole day I feel oil free! Only thing in this Neem pack is the smell and the tightness, It smells like pure chemical and when the pack hardens you can barely smile or open you mouth but the after effect is nice, oil free, smooth, soft skin. What could you ask for? Also I happen to you Himalaya Purifying Mud Pack and it was nice too. Nicer than the Neem pack but not better, nicer because its not too tight and the smell is not that bad. 

Fifth is optional though, I use Purederm Nose Pore strip whenever blackheads accumulate onto my nose. Only thing is I'm not quite satisfied with the tightness, only 40-60% of black heads are lifted off but then again at least blackheads are lifted off huh?

Some other optional includes Moisturizer, for me I no longer use it for I use toner (and soon astringent)  and it keeps my skin hydrated but to those who have an oily skin a Moisturizer that is water based of gel type is suitable for you rather than creams for creams have oil and if you use that on an oily type skin the oil will just double while gel type moisturizers will just be absorbed by the skin which reminds me, try using Loreal Men Expert Anti- Regreasing Moisturizer it helps subdue oil while keeping your skin light, smooth and oil free.

Bridesmaids (2011)

From the producer of Superbad, Knocked-up and The 40 Year-old Virgin, Paul Feig made an amazing comeback film named Bridesmaids. A Humorous romantic disaster (not so really...kind of) movie about...Bridesmaids!

This movie is indeed a remarkable one. This 136 minute movie took like 2 and a half hours or something more in me but it didn't lag, all the scenes are nice and clear although some sex scenes are funny for me I just wished that I have watched the rated version. Like I said, the movie is great; totally fun and nice, all was crazy at first and had couple of laugh and actually while watching this I feel kinda awkward in some scenes like I was the one being humiliated in her shoes and I was like in my seat:

"Oh my God...Oh shit...God! What?!"

Okay so that's how it goes, the movie is catchy you know? I liked it, I liked the whole stuff, as if this movie was like 2 hours or more because there are a lot of places they shot the film --in short they made this movie all packed in like a canned spam.

Okay, there are also some scenes that somehow left all the other cast disappear like Rita and Becca which I think last saw them was in at the plane kissing each other and by the way why did they kissed?

Bottom line, 5-star for this great movie. I would really recommend this one t my friends. Another thing, I just love how Kristen Wiig acts, its so...Saturday Night live-ish Loved it

War of the Worlds (2005)

War of the Worlds by Steven Spielberg is sure a fired up movie of the year, well at least that's how it goes. Well, the movie is nice to great. The story is unique I can hardly tell any movie with the same storyline (well Scary Movie 4 has the same plot as War of the World!).

The movie is about a family having a typical Sunday morning not lest they know that their typical Sunday morning will be like hiding and surviving hordes of alien invaders! Everything is nice and watchable but nothing too grand. Of course the movie didn't bore me much but some scenes are quite laggy but the climax did make it well so I'll let the criticism pass.

As I have seen the movie, well actually ti's not that I didn't like the movie it is just that I've watched the Parody movie first before the original so I kinda seen the movie at all as if I've watched this before but then again watching this makes real total difference.

As I carefully watched the movie *I think* there are some movie goofs or technicalities in this movie I'm not sure so I'll let you judge the movie itself so here's the shots:

First thing, this one is actually not a goof but rather ugh, you know, how could an earthquake being torn asunder in a half flawlessly I mean look, the church is like made from Papier mâché! No crumbling, no...its really like a paper being torn to me...its unrealistic  though.

 This one here I don't know, he's taking a video of the alien tripod where is i can tell you for I have heard directly from the citizens that "everything" stopped from functioning even a wrist watch that Ray have! (The car starts though for they managed to change some parts of the car but hey how about the video cam?)

Okay in this one is like magic. When Ray thew his peanut butter sandwich on the window look at the bread. Why is it sticking outside the window?

Bottom line , I'll give this 4 star. Its really a great movie! Nice to watch. Nice acting and nice settings. If you want an alien flick give this a try, you'll probably love this.

*Updated* I've found out that the bread scene with Ray was his reflection throwing the bread onto the camera. Sheez i really thought that the bread actually passed through the other side of the window ha-ha.
