Clash of the Titans (2010)

I really did not find this movie striking. The best part was the fight with Medusa and the rest was blah.

I just find it interesting that there is another Harry Potter-Star Wars connection (I've done this in several movies). There is Liam Neeson of Stars Wars as Zeus and Ralph Fiennes of Harry Potter as Hades. Haha! Qui-gon-jin versus Voldemort. LOL

I better rewatch the original version. I remember enjoying it eventhough you know that the effects weren't that good b4. I better compare. I have forgotten about it already.

I dunno if the 3D version would have been better.

Didn't know that Sam Worthington who played Perseus was the lead also for Avatar. LOL

Alice in Wonderland
Posted at 08:59 PM

I really loved this movie, eventhough the story wasn't really that good. I was hoping for something more unique than a warrior wielding a shield against a dragon. This isn't Eowyn from Lord of the Rings or any other fairytale.

But I loved everything else. The music, the images and the actors. The music was by Danny Elfman who has been long time partner of director Tim Burton on scoring his movies. You also have Johnny Depp which is a household fave of ours who acts as the Mad Hatter as if he was still Jack Sparrow. I also love helena Bonham-Carter as the Red Queen! She's the best! Every word she says mskes me believe she really is the Red Queen. She's such a natural! Mia Wachikowski (?) looked elegant too as Alice. She really has that old-age look. How envious we can get of her beauty!

It was really Burtonish in how they executed the colors and such. It has many colors but it has a dark shade. Really love it!

I am really a fan of the animated version by Disney too, so it is such a great experience to see a more mature take on the story, although it wasn't that mature for the plot. I believe the storybook was much mature since it really puzzles you. But then again I loved it.

This is a very long overdue movie review. I'll make it short because I don't remember much anymore. The striking thing about it is you can't distingush anymore which is real an not. The effects blended in so much with reality. This is truly the future of filmaking. James Cameron just had to beat himself with his earlier effects hit Titanic. What a great director!

It is the usual story though that reflects what the future will bring to us. But it seems more real so you can really feel it. I can't imagine myself going to another planet just to experience trees. I love trees so I don't want them to disappear. The mere rustling of the leaves makes me happy, so I would really be saddened if they disappear.

The way they channeled a person's mind to a human-made entity was also an amazing idea. I wonder if a day will come that humans will be able to live like that. Everything is possible in this world.

This Is It

This is really it. No more from the King of Pop. I'm just glad they recorded scenes from his rehearsal for his supposed to be comback concert in London. Kinda makes me sad because the concert would have been grand. The rehearsals alone were great already...so what more for the actual performance? Michael always said in between that he's sorry because he has to preserve his voice and so he didn't exert more effort. I was like...WHAT? He was great already on that level. And he was really picky when it comes to how some instruments should be played. It may sound the same for us, but for him some parts aren't. He's really a pro.

I also like the fact that some people from theband got to interact with him directly, like the cool girl who plays the guitar! Michael must have chosen her personally. It really is unfamiliar to have a girl playing a guitar. He gave the spotlight to her.

He's back-up singer Judith Hill looked Asian and she was also great. She even had a duet with Michael. Awwwwwww!!!!!

The dancers were also personally picked by Michael. There was also a Fil-Am in the roster of 12 main dancers. He's so lucky!!!!!! They were really feeling dramatic about it. As the director have said...they are the extension of Michael. It is an honor to be an extension of Michael!

I'm just sad for my mom. She wanted to see Michael Jackson live when he held a concert here in teh Philippines during the 90's. She wasn't allowed to go. Sigh. I know she really feels sad. We only have this last movie of him to hold on to his memory.

My most fave scene would be the movie insert for...I forgot the song! It was something about nature. I almost cried. What are we doing to mother nature? Huhu! That was such a good movie insert.

I also love the background for THE WAY YOU MAKE ME FEEL...construction workers snapping their fingers while waiting for dawn was so cool! So refereshing. It feels like it is so nice to work (in reality...you know it is another way around).

I also love the colorful background that was used for the Jackson 5 songs. I was hoping that Michael will sing with his brothers again. I thought he had difficulty singing one song because he was alone. But maybe it was something to do with the sound. LOL.

The upgraded movie insert of the THRILLER song was also great. All the dancers were already in costume! It looked as if it was the actualy performance! Not to mention Michael was weraing fancy clothes all throughout the rehearsal. The only thing missing was an audience. A real audience. SIGH.

I enjoyed it. It was a total concert experince with behind the scenes footage. We'll never forget Michael Jackson.

The Proposal
Posted at 08:18 PM

 

Pretending to be the fiance of someone you really hate is really stressful! No guy would dream of ending up with a witch, but with Andrew and Margaret, thing went well for them...in the end.

It is a romantic comedy that makes one laugh all the time. Me and my mom really enjoyed this amidst an almost empty theater. So nice to be able to laugh aloud.

It also showed how family is still important, even in the most independence-oriented country in the world. Nothing beats familial relations.

Well it wasn't my ultimate fave, but I didn't hate it either. I'm glad my time wasn't wasted to watch this movie.
