American Gangster 2008-01-21 15:27:00 Before this movie got out, I never even heard about Frank Lucas. Honestly, I never thought that a black guy could become so efficient in crime. Most of them are too busy shooting at each other just because they live in a different street name. Can’t seem to kill people for a proper reason let alone running an organized crime. So, when I saw the AmericanGangster
movie trailer, I was so surprise. I thought, “For real? A black mafia?”But then when you hear the word mafia the things that come to mind will be the Italians or the Russians, right? I suppose, that’s why the word ‘gangster’ is more appropriate for Frank Lucas and this movie. A super cool gangster, I might add. And this is what the movie is about, a black guy name Frank Lucas, the American Gangster.I liked the way this
Rendition 2008-01-19 15:46:00 Rendition is about an Egyptian-born chemical engineer, Anwar El-Ibrahimi who suddenly became a suspect to a suicide bombing incident. From the point of view of everyone else, he simply disappeared from the airport which doesn’t make sense because the record has shown that he boarded the plane but he never landed. When the truth is, he was escorted to a room and after some interrogation he was taken to a secret location which is where the United State government brings all the suspected terrorists for ‘questioning’.This movie’s adjective is quite simple actually. To tell us all about ‘Rendition’ which is a real thing. I personally think that this movie was inspired by the Maher Arar’s case, a Syrian-born Canadian citizen and a father of two whom has to endure almost a year of
National Treasure: Book of Secrets 2008-01-14 05:25:00 Remember the Indiana Jones? With the cave, cowboy hat, and the monkey brain…etc Boy, it was a classic! Not to mention the stiff acts and the one tone voice during the movie like they’re all reading the news. And the very thing that I remember the most is the hanging bridge. Oh, they always have the hanging bridge in treasure hunting movies back then, don’t they? I love those bridges. No one could ever cross those bridges without a hitch. Something bad will always happen.Treasure
hunting was among my favorite childhood fantasies back then, which is why I decided to watch the National
Treasure. I didn’t get the chance to watch the first one though, so I have no idea whether it’s a good movie or not and how close it would be to the classic ones that we used to love so much. But the Read more:Secrets
Alien vs. Predator 2 2007-12-28 15:58:00 When a friend of mine heard that I went to this movie he responded by questioning my sanity which is rather appropriate to say the least and I don't blame him a bit. In fact, I kinda expected it. Let me tell you why…Hmm.. Where do I begin. Let’s start with the fact that this movie has a new creature, a mixture of an alien and predator which I call the Predalien. The thing is, they didn’t even bother to explain how the alien got inside the predator’s body. Out of sudden, the predator became a new hybrid and crashed their spaceship on earth. And this Predalien went aroud town doing what they do best, procreating.What disappoint me the most is that there was only one Predator
chasing the aliens through the entire movie. His friend called out for help by signaling their headquarters be Read more:Alien
