RESIDENT EVIL 5 (Retribution)

Sorry for posting this so early. I'm just soooo excited with this 5th sequel of the famous computer game turned movie "Resident Evil".  I've been a fan of this film since the 1st part and I've been watching it over and over again... I'm a fan of Alice (Milla Jovovich) she's totally awesome! I love how tough and at the same time pretty she is. Haha, maybe this is also the reason why I'm jealous of Selene in Underworld bringing 2 pistols and wearing catsuit, because for me, it's for Alice (but now that I've also watched the 1st to 4th Underworld, I'm in love with them both :D). haha. Anyway, back to the film, this will be showing on September 14, 2012.


here it is..

Directed by:  Paul W.S. Anderson

Starring: Milla Jovovich as Alice

Sienna Guillory as Jill Valentine

Michelle Rodriguez as Rain Ocampo

Synopsis: is captured by Umbrella once again, and awakens in the heart of their operation facility; as she moves further in the complex, more of her past is unveiled and she continues to hunt for those responsible for the outbreak. Her quest takes her and her new found allies from Tokyo to New York, Washington D.C. and Moscow. After a "mind-blowing" revelation, she is forced to rethink everything, finally finding out the truth about herself, and the Umbrella Corporation.

Here's a link for the trailer:

Rain Ocampo played by Michelle Rodriguez is from the first part and Jill valentine played by Sienna Guillory is from the 2nd part. I don't know why they're back. Rain became undead and was killed on the 1st part while Jill, I don't know what happened to her, she's on the 2nd part, wasn't killed, then wasn't on the 3rd part. That's why I'm excited with the 5th part of the story. It's kind of intriguing. As I watch the trailer, it seems like there will be a mind-blowing revelation on how everything started, so let's all watch out!

One thing I liked about this film is the casting. The actors are fresh, and Liam Hemsworth is hot. haha.

UNDERWORLD:AWAKENING (review)

UNDERWORLD:AWAKENING

Directed by: Len Wiseman

Whoohoo!
Finally watched Underworld 4 today.


So this is really my first time to write a movie review or a reaction about a movie that I've watched. I don't know if  I'm good or what with this matter so don't expect too much, though, I would love it if you'll enjoy reading this post and maybe leave a message, ask questions, or criticize my work.


The movie as like the synopsis said, is a war between lycans and vampires as the human discovered their existence. Selene, played by Kate Beckinsale is a vampire who fell in love with a lycan and been captivated by humans for 12 years. 
She didn't realize it until one of the humans who captived her set her free to find someone whom they're calling subject two. 


 David played by Theo James found Selene and through her special gift of seeing visions, they found subject 2 who's a 12 year old girl and played by India Eisley. Eve or subject 2 is a hybrid. She's a half vampire and half lycan. 


Selene, Eve, and David were attacked by Lycans and Eve got hurt. She wasn't healing (healing fast is one characteristic of vampires) so they brought her to the vampire's hidden fortress and got her healed. 
Sadly, the other vampires, especially the leader Thomas played by Charles Dance who's the father of David don't want Selene and Eve to stay because they knew that Selene fell in love with a Lycan and Eve is a hybrid and she's the daughter of Selene and Michael played by Scott Speedman.


The lycans are also interested with Eve because  of her strength and abilities so they attack the vampire's fortress to get her and they succeed. They got Eve. David and Selene almost got killed and more than half of the vampires got killed because of the unbelievable strength  of the lycans. 


Sooner, Selene, with the help of Detective Sebastian played by Michael Ealy found out that Dr. Jacob Lane played by Stephen Rea is doing tests and experiments to make the lycans stronger.


Selene made a plan to save her daughter and with the help of detective Sebastian and David, they got Eve back but they didn't got to talk to Michael...


and that's how it ended. :\


Why there's a ":\" face? Because the length of the film is kinda short. hahaha. It just lasted for 80-90 minutes in my watch and that more or less than 90 mins. were just spent in violence and war, but that's not that bad since the mood is really war and though I'm not really a fan of suspense/action film, the mood of the film got into me. The fear of Eve and the anger of Selene got me.


The setting was held in the city compared to the setting of the first movie which was held in forests and old castles. And for me it's good since there are doctors and experiments.


If I'm gonna rank cinematography and sound, I'll give 8 for both.


One thing  I really didn't like is that if you didn't watch the 1st to 3rd film, you can't really catch up. I have proven that since one of my friends, who's with me when I watched the movie haven't watched the 1st to 3rd movie and she can't really understand unless we tell her why certain scenes were happening. 


One more thing is, when I'm seeing Selene, I'm seeing Alice of Resident Evil (played by Mila Jovovich) though they're playing two different roles, I can't help to think of Alice because of Selene's catsuit and 2 pistols. For me it was Alice's. haha. I don't know, maybe I'm just Alice's fan.


All in all, I enjoyed the heartbeat stopping film and will definitely wait for the 5th movie and hoping that I can still write about it. :)


Since the idea of bringing a pen and a notebook to take notes for my blog didn't cross my mind, this is all I got. :|


So, that's all I can say. Hope you enjoyed reading and hoping that while reading my post, you've got to watch it through my eyes. 


P.S.: promise, on the next film that I'll watch, I'm gonna bring pen and will gonna take down notes so I can write tons. haha


:D

(synopsis from www.IMDB.com)

here's a link for the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bor9gCAB9qM&feature=fvst

I think this is an exciting film.I have watched the first film years back and since I wasn't so aware or maybe not so interested before, I didn't know that this film is a series 'til I watched the trailer on TV and it really caught my attention. I'm not really onto horror/suspense film but I'll try this one. I have also read comments from different films saying that this film is great and Kate Beckinsale, on the lead role is totally hot. haha.

So while waiting for the film, I'm gonna watch the 2nd and 3rd film. I still have 4 or more days to watch Underworld:Evolution and Underworld:Rise of the Lycans, then gonna watch this talk of the horror film blogger film. 

What I'm gonna do..

MOVIE..

as the topic of my blog is kind of hard because of the wideness of the topic. MOVIE is just a 5 letter word but as I think of what am I gonna write, I realized that it's huge. So I decided to focus on upcoming movies and movies that are showing here in the Philippines 'cause I want to give personal insights and I won't be able to do that if I won't watch it.

So here's my plan.. I'm gonna post upcoming movies in my blog, gonna watch them all (I know watching them all will gonna be fun but it will surely knock my savings down. haha. but for the sake of this blog and for the passion that I want to pursue, I'll do this) then gonna write about my insights.

This will be a bit hard because i'm not really a pro in writing and this will be my first time writing so much about movies but I'm really hoping that you'll have fun reading my blog though I don't know if this is gonna be helpful. haha.

I'll just try, and hoping that someday, I'll be one of the bloggers that are worth following. :D

enjoy reading as I enjoy watching and writing!
