Disconnect (2012)
Its all connected
It is REALLY a very good movie. I watch it 3 years after it was released and its relevance to our existing society is very represented to what the movie is telling us. Human physical connection is intensely deprive nowadays its now replaced by a concept of ubiquitous, redundant instant feeling of connection-ess that we design to in the first place to make us feel we can replace human emotions of being sad, loved, happy in a click of a button.
A educational media to know how crimes and loopholes in the internet is being exploited and how the government is tracing and correcting it down. It explains clearly what internet can do and can affect to our lives in just a mere post or info shared that we thought are harmless can do on a global scale.
Heneral Luna (2015)
Heneral Artikulo Uno
OK, I don't want to be biased here, the film was just OK. It was not excellent nor was it bad. It was just OK. I like the script thou, especially the joke part and the cursings. I feel like i'm watching Inglorious Basterds, the way they killed him in the last part of the movie, he was like this "masamang damo, mahirap mamatay" "Bad weed, hard to kill" (forgive my translation) kind of scene. It was gruesome and a little too much. The part when he travels to a lot of places was also confusing, he arrives just too fast. My favorite scene was the first battle scene, where he charge with his horse right straight to the enemy. The part when he was about to shoot his head, because he thought it was already the end, and unknowingly made his fellow filipino soldiers rallied with him in the battle field revive with courage because of his acts of chivalry and great example for fighting for inang bayan (mother land). I was really touch by that scene and was just holding back to clap so as not to annoy my seatmate in the cinema.
The close your eyes scene was also nice, the composites of the scenes in interchanging events, technically perfectly executed. The special effects and the sound effects was also good. I would not make this long, the film in general promotes the idea of sticking up with your principles, that is, it should not be biased, conditional and incorruptible. To Mr J Tarog, the cast and the writers of the movie, hats off, its my first time to watch a movie where after the credit part/end part people were clapping there hands. Certainly they were touched in sorts of ways to react like that. I think that is the essence of making a film, that after watching it, a little mark is left behind could be an idea of sorts good or bad, it doesn't matter. Certainly it did mark for me, especially Artikulo Uno!
Silong (2015)
Story was Edgy a good break from Mistress movie onslaught
I gotta say Roy and Jeffrey did very well on creating the story, not the typical filipino thriller formula. I like the plot and the easy start entering the film then ending it with the unexpected twist. I always like movies with the villain gets to live at the end of the film. Well, I would say villain killing another villain is still villain right? or is it double negative equals positive. But yeah, as much as I like the story, the acting of Rhian was just normal. It was not perfect but could have been polish more. She looks hot thou in a lot of scene, like a lot... Piolo's acting, is a little bit safe. He does not want the viewer to know any hint about how this movie would end. Even after the big reveal he stayed to the same acting. You would never know, I guess it was effective.
"Silong" a tagalog word for lending shelter, this is a film about two twisted people, destined to face the inevitable reveal of their lives. To those who like suspense and like to guess how the movie ends kind of movie goers this is a must try movie. To Philippine cinema this is a fresh mind film, hope to see more of this kind of films in the future. Congrats to Jeffrey and Roy.
Inside Out (2015)
Can be a good educational film showing movie for Software Developers
I was studying angular js for 5 straight days now, btw (its a scripting language for the web) and decided to take a break, need to clear my mind. try to chill a little bit.. Went to the mall and check movies now showing in cinema. I remember my officemate told me about Inside out, so I watch it. The design of the movie was good. The plot is simple in the first layer. The View layer, where what we ordinary people really can see, the one where we can relate. But the real artistry of the movie is the linking, the connection of how the view is process and the explanation on how data is send for the view to response is very detailed and in some cases I can't help to think sounds legit. If I think of it, what makes this movie stands out for me is, the guy who made it make sure that the people viewing this after can tell themselves I should make sure and keep safe core memories, which is the fuel that keeps my life running. Core memories of Family, Friends, Personalities etc.. can be a type of joy, sadness, anger, fear, disgust or mix. Continue creating them and access them always from time to time.
I can always appreciate a good software, i mean a good movie once I see one, its just a balance of simplicity and complexity. My code review for this one is I would say good 8 out of 10, maybe revisions on the platform to where it is made. Its on animation and some people think of it as a: for kids movie, which assumption is true because its Disney. Which is not, in my opinion. I would love to have a more serious control room encounter, a Modular Testing for each emotion, preferably to a 25 age adult male, so I can also relate to how this colorful engrs in my head reacts in my multi tasking double life challenges that I face in a day to day basis.
