Here’s something I got from DenofGeek. Some of the movies here are really good, and I so look forward to watching them, while some just makes me go, “Hmmm…?!”
The domination of sequels in the big summer and winter schedules continues, and if the following - in particular order - is anything to go by, it’s going to carry on for many years to come…
The Brazilian Job: the follow up to Paramount’s US remake of The Italian Job is still on the cards, and it’s got a 2009 release date marked. …

The Matrix has been called by some moviegoers as a modern-day rendition of Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. We notice for example the different binary opposing themes found in both the film and the Allegory: appearance/reality, dream/wakefulness, shadows/forms, virtual reality/actual reality. Similar to the Allegory of the Cave, the basic question of the Matrix is: what if what I think of as the real world is not really real? What if I am in “a cave”? Or more specifically in the movie: “How do I know that this world I’m living in, is the real world and not a virtual reality program created by artificial intelligence?”

Which also sounds like Descartes problem in Meditations on First Philosophy. How do I know that I am not just dreaming? That I am not a fool imagining all this in my mind? How do I know that I am not being deceived? And a more fundamental question: of what can I be certain about? Where can I find the ground of certitude?

“The people who are trying to make this world worse are not taking a day off, how can I?

I watched BucketList the other day. It stars two of the best actors of their generation, Morgan Freeman (him with the voice of God) and Jack Nicholson (who just plays himself, really). They were both really good in this film, playing guys who were about to die and trying to go out with guns blazing. This is a must see, if you want to reflect on the meaning of life, and if you want to have a good cry.
I have made my own bucket list and realized that this might …

Their YouTube profile describes what they do as “funny, insightful and unexpected movie reviews by two octogenarians who have over 80 years of experience in the movie business.”
They are really all that and more.
The two octogenarians are simply known on YouTube as “Marcia and Lorenzo”. And if you think they’re amateurs, they’re actually Hollywood-bred and trained. And they know their stuff (it shows in their tongue-in-cheek humor and quality film criticism).
Marcia is Marcia Nasatir, 81, a longtime agent, pioneering woman production executive and producer of such films …

Just read about it. Heath Ledger is dead! I just wrote several weeks ago about him playing the Joker in the next Batman.
Another tragic end to one so young, and so full of potential. I admire Heath for not “selling out” like some of his contemporaries. He could have cashed out by being a heartthrob after his take on 10 Things I Hate About You, but he didn’t; instead, he made some careful choices, focusing on his acting, and the challenge the role will bring, rather on the movie’s blockbuster …

I’ve always loved Batman. I loved the darkness of his character. I loved the way he embraced the dark to save people. I specially loved the fact that he is the most human of all the “superheroes” — he doesn’t really have any superpowers like Superman or Wonderwoman, but he has honed his skills to almost superhuman levels.

That’s why I became more and more frustrated when the Batman movies became more and more eye-candy than dark. I remember watching Michael Keaton as Batman. I watched it at 10AM (on its …

These are the Top 10 Baddest Guys to ever grace the silverscreen.
Hmmm… I don’t know most of them. I would have wanted Clubber Lang to be # 1, but in hindsight, Biff would have been a great choice as well. I think Voldemort of the Harry Potter series ought to be given an honorable mention at least.

Got to watch Stardust the other day. Well, Anj made me do it. haha.
I liked it a lot. There seems to be a dearth of good films the past few months. And this is one of the few good ones. I haven’t read the book so all the characters were new to me and I didn’t know their back stories and because of that I really didn’t anticipate anything. The downside is that I didn’t really know the subtle nuances that reading the book would have afforded me. …

I grew up watching the series Wonder Woman on a local channel. It starred Linda Carter (funfact: she was supposed to be 1st runner up to Filipina Miss Universe Margie Moran Florendo) who had a great tanned body and looked ever so convincing as the Amazon goddess.
Now that there is news of an upcoming Justice League of America movie , people are speculating over who would be best in portraying Wonder Woman. Some girls, like Victoria Hill (of December Boys) and Shannyn Sossamon (Knight’s Tale, One Missed …
