MOVIE REVIEW | Sully

Sully

There are only a few movies that engage the audience and make them feel like they are part of what's going on. "Sully" is one of those brilliantly crafted works that plays with the audience and make them believe that what is going on can easily happen to them.

Rating: 8.5 / 10
Worth the time and money, so you go watch it on the cinema.

Really enjoyed the movie and it was worth watching it over at Imax, with all the big screen and surrounding sound; one can easily feel that he's really inside that plane. To be honest, I think I was bracing myself half the time because I felt like I was part of the movie- not an audience, but an actual passenger waiting for my eventual demise.

The Revenant (2015)

PS. I forgot to add that watching ‪#‎TheRevenant‬ makes you feel like watching Pocahontas version 2016... just waiting for Pocahontas and Capt Smith to sing ".. have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon..."

Stonewall (2015)

Please watch ‪#‎PriscillaOfTheDesert‬ & ‪#‎BrokeBackMountain‬

MOVIE REVIEW | The Danish Girl (2015)

The Danish Girl (2015)

The movie reminded me about a discussion with a very good friend and mentor, about how transgender people see their bodies differently from the rest. While we see ourselves as what we are, trans people look at themselves as physically anomalous (sexual switched). And thereby wanting to undergo severe operations (in the case of Lily, was fatal).

"But as in all partings, we learn to accept and move on. What is more important is how we spent the short time we've had with the special companies in our lives. Because in the end, it is really not how long we stay with them, but how much we have spent well every single second."

REVIEW | New Year Superstitions

New Year Superstitions

You know how as Filipinos, we tend to be very superstitious on important events, like New Year for instance. When we were young, our parents taught us the DOs and DON'Ts at the struck of midnight. Now when I think about how strange our superstitious belief system is, I just laugh about it.

Gone Girl (2014)- Funny, Sinister and Mind Boggling

To be fair, I won't disclose anything on the narrative of the movie. One has to go and see it to actually realize how it is. What I will be writing in this review is basically how I feel about the overall treatment of the film.
