It’s so sad this movie was butchered before it even came out and from what I read by Australian critics themselves…maybe not majority but more than enough to make this movie almost flop. It’s not a bad film. Maybe if they didn’t use AUSTRALIA as the title, it would have fared much better. Which reminds [...]

Ok….Front row to the first second film I’ve watched in 2009 was Transporter 3. Frankly, I didn’t expect much from this movie to begin with…obviously because it’s already the third sequel and we all know very well that sequels never truly outshine the original one. But I went to see it anyway for two reasons: [...]

Finally I was able to watch a movie last weekend after what seems like a long respite from my weekly dose of motion picture extravaganza. It has been mentioned over and over again that this movie is from a remake of the 1951 classic sci-fi flick. Well that was not my generation and so I [...]

Yikes I can’t believe that again it has been almost a month since I last watched a movie! It’s a good thing that I am busy flying around, or else I would have gotten insane!!! So the moment a good-worthy movie pop up, you bet I am in line. Choosing between Tropic Thunder and Body of Lies, I choose to [...]

According to my last movie review…it has been more than a month since I last watched a Hollywood movie on cinema! It’s catastrophic! How can that be? Well the answer is quite simple: There are no good movies showing that is worth watching!!! So I had to hype myself to try and see Babylon A.D. [...]

Ok, so it’s not a perfect movie; but it’s still good entertainment. The jokes aren’t that funny in this third installment but the effects and pacing is good enough. Brendan Fraser still has ‘IT” in spite of it’s been seven long years, yes 7!, since the last Mummy sequel. Maria Bello stepped in for Rachel [...]

This movie is available on IMAX 3D, though I just watched it on a regular theater. It’s really a nice family film and quite entertaining. It’s not spectacular or over the top, but I still gave it my *****Star Rating. I guess I just miss seeing Brendan Fraser on the big screen. Anyway, the Mummy [...]
