PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: AT WORLD’S END
Greenbelt 3, Cinema 2, May 27, 8:30pm

I can describe the film while watching it as reading a nice adventure book. It’s a popcorn film, yes, but very intelligently done. Hindi nakakabobo. And it has Johnny Depp (probably this generation’s Marlon Brando)! For me, this sequel is the best among the three Pirates film. A must-see (naks, hahaha).

ZODIAC

Pwedeng pang-Oscars, from Screen Adaptation to acting awards (Robert Downey, Jr., Mark Ruffalo, etc.) kaya lang parang merong kulang. If this film is like sex, parang kulang sa orgasm. But I love this film.

PAANO KITA IIBIGIN?
Power Plant, Cinema 4, June 3, 7:45pm

Yeah, it’s formula. The thing is, it’s not sugarcoated. It even has a dark undertone, confirmed by the suicidal character played by Piolo Pascual. Halos buong movie, suicidal s’ya. ‘Yung plot about raising money is for an airplane to be repaired to be later on used as deathbed. For me, that’s new for a production from Star Cinema (or Regal or GMA Films or….). The film’s not bad but definitely not good enough. Pwede na.
