The Great Raid (2005)
The Great Raid
The movie was set in the Philippines in 1945; THE GREAT RAID tells the true story of the 6th Ranger Battalion, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Henry Mucci (Benjamin Bratt) who undertake a daring rescue mission against all odds. Traveling thirty miles behind enemy lines, the 6th Ranger Battalion aims to liberate over 500 American prisoners-of-war from the notorious Cabanatuan Japanese POW camp in the most audacious rescue ever.
It's a good and decent movie, not just because of the story itself but because of the good cinematography of the movie. There's an object of love that gives a character hope and a reason to live. There is no mushy stuff at all. It's an acceptable addition given that would have been a strong motivating factor in so many peoples' lives in such a place. Plus, it adds a bit of emotional drama to the end.
Cesar Montano has a lot of reasons to be proud of being in this movie, it's well crafted, well told and not to mention, it's an International released movie. There were also some Filipino actors present in this movie, like Ryan Eigenman, Rez Cortez and Noel Trinidad, The movie is good, and the movie is worth to be titled "The Great Raid".
Batman Begins (2005)
Batman Begins after 1 hour
-Possible Spoiler-
"Batman" is all about a man who battles his enemies and inner demons. It's about fear, acceptance, morality and reality: Batman is not a superhero, Contrary to popular belief. He doesn't have extraordinary powers. He's human, Physically and emotionally.
I admire the technical skill of this production. The fight scenes are fast and Blurred I usually hate this, but it works well in "Batman Begins," because we're Meant to fear the unknown. Sounds are used to great effect. Cinematic ally, Batman becomes a movie monster on occasion the scene where a group of Smugglers are picked off one-by-one in the darkness, with scattering sounds Screams and gunshots piercing the silence, Batman questions Crane while he is On drugs, which results in some truly terrifying images that will shock children Who are familiar with Batman as a flawless hero? Batman Begins is a well told Story of the origin of Bruce Wayne/Batman (Christian Bale).
At first I was excited to watch this movie, I have nothing against the Production and effects, it was really good but I don't like much the story, it was Not fast paced. Personally speaking, I hope this movie wasn't titled "Batman Begins" it should be titled "Batman Begins after one Hour!!!" I was also got Irritated by Katie Holmes character, she wasn't appropriate with her role, Character was thoroughly useless to the story. The movie would have Gone without her. There are lots of actresses better than her like Nicole Kidman and Natalie Portman.
One of the only scene I like in this movie are when Batman and Rachel Flying in every roof, it was suspenseful, but overall, I didn't like the movie, Good Effects and production have nothing to do with my personal taste.
Sigaw (2004)
Very Predictable...
(Possible Spoiler)
The movie is very Predictable but nicely done, every scene is really creepy though it shows that this film is a low budget one...
The story only evolves on the same path of actions. As the movie ends -- probably you'll already memorize lines that kept on repeating all over again..
As the movie reaches the finale, there's still many things left without closure, so you'll end up with lots of questions to yourself such as:
1.) What happened to the first tenant of the apartment room 306? he's the one to be hunted by the spirits of Anna and Lara (Izza Calsado & Denise Guevarra) not other innocent people...
2.) Did the parents of Pinky (Angel Locsin) Already forgive Marvin (Richard Gutierez)?
3.) What happened to the remains of their body? who seen them on 7th floor? what happened to the case?
Many thing's are left without closure, and will leave you lots of questions,but this is a good thrilling experience though,the movie is executed nicely...
The Grudge (2004)
Much Better Than The Original...
Some people won't like this & some would certainly like this movie because this remake is much better than the original, better production,Special effects and the sound effects are really frightening that you'll predict something will going to happen..
Almost Everyone in Cinema was either screaming or covering their eyes but the movie could have been better if they will lengthen the time of some Gore Scenes and used more closer shots..
It's not actually that scary but the creepy atmosphere scenes plus the Sound Effects that's truly unforgettable about this movie..It's fun & entertaining watching this movie...
This is a good Halloween Movie!
The Prince & Me (2004)
Another Fairy Tale Movie..
During the few minutes of watching this movie,I'm some kinda bored,but as the movie goes,it's becoming interesting..
Although The Plot is really simple,an smart woman in her Senior years who fell in Love with a fellow student who happened to be a Prince whom she didn't know early because its been kept as a secret..
The most romantic scene for me,is when the prince proposes,he was holding the ring in his grasp then when he opened his hand a butterfly flies..He was so sweet,and the background fits the scenery because it matches every scene.I just hope the ending we're different as it was.
The Story is very predictable,but entertaining because of the scenes that shows different perspective on being a princess & prince and what they usually do..
