Cue to perfection, at the very nanosecond that this show was ended, the dude next to me bellowed in pain. For a good ten or twenty seconds, I wasn’t counting. It could well be half a minute. I was giggling. I could feel his pain, even though I could not relate. Like having 117 minutes [...]

Cowboys & Aliens – I Can So Visualize This In A Video Game Setting
August 21st, 2011 2 Comments
It is Daniel Craig once again covered in dirt and sweat working hard to do the impossible. The story of “Cowboys & Aliens” is set in 1873, the cowboy era. I was a bit concerned when I saw that Harrison Ford is part of the casting. In “Morning Glory“, he looks pretty old. OK. In [...]

Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes – NO! I Mean YES!
August 8th, 2011 2 Comments
Cynthia often pokes fun at me saying that I have a special relationship with the primates. And she does not mind accompanying me to watch “Rise of the Plant of the Apes” (what a mouthful don’t you think?) due to my profound love for the apes. Well, to clarify, when I was a teen, I [...]

Captain America: The First Avenger – The Charm Lies In The Heart
July 31st, 2011 No Comments
Of the four showcased in the Marvel Cinematic Universe thus far – Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, and Captain America – I would say, Captain America wins my heart. He is humble with a never give up attitude. He is keen to contribute, in whatever capacity he can. He represents the common people and when he [...]

X-Men: First Class – Not My Cup Of Tea
June 13th, 2011 2 Comments
I have a few issues with the installment of this new trilogy. Considering the fact that “First Class” is a prequel, I am unable to reconcile how, say, McAvoy and Fassbender’s characters are going to grow up and become Professor X and Magneto that we are familiar with on a big screen. I took a [...]

Thor – You’ve Been Expecting It, Haven’t You?
May 2nd, 2011 2 Comments
Frankly speaking, the best 3D viewing experience thus far. I was about to give up on 3D technology wondering why I would want to spend extra dollars to watch a show with color less than vivid, edges at times blurry. Thor has restored my faith on 3D movies. They have done right this time. I [...]

The Adjustment Bureau – Who Writes Your Fate?
March 15th, 2011 4 Comments
I suppose I should count myself lucky that whoever Cynthia thinks is pretty is not that pretty to my eyes. And vice versa. That way, she would feel happy that I am not looking at all the women whom she think are pretty on the street and she would not notice all the pretty women [...]

Red Riding Hood
March 11th, 2011 No Comments
From the director who brought you “Twilight“, we now have a new saga called “Red Ridding Hood”. Cynthia and I adore “Twilight”, despite what the critics said. I was so excited in booking the tickets online so much so that I booked yesterday’s session, instead of today’s. So, we had an early weekend celebration. There [...]

Let Me In – Quite Possibly The Greatest Vampire Love Story Of All
November 11th, 2010 5 Comments
“Let Me In” is not a typical vampire movie, quite possibly something you have not seen before. That is if you have not watched the original Swedish film “Let The Right One In (2008)”. We can debate if this is a horror film or more like a thriller later. For the film characters that are [...]

Inception – Into Subconscious and Dream Whereby Logic Supposes To Dissolve
July 18th, 2010 6 Comments
The idea is tantalizing. Imagine being able to architect your dream, bring others into your dream or trespass into others’ dreams, and if you wish to retain certain fond memories of the past, lock them up inside your head and visit them as often as you like. On the surface, “Inception” appears to be a movie with an [...]
