Who would have thought that going into a sex club would put you into sooooo much trouble! Hotties Hugh Jackman and Ewan McGregor grace the big screen in this sexy and sultry thriller movie.
Basically, the story goes when an outgoing lawyer, Wyatt Bose (played by Hugh Jackman) introduces an underground sex club known as “The List” to his newly found friend in the person of a lonely audito0r, Jonathan McQuarry (played by Ewan McGregor). Problem strikes when the woman Jonathan is seeing suddenly disappears without a trace. Plus, to top that, he was also included in a heist.
The character played by Ewan McGregor is subtle than him in millions of ways. First off, he plays an insecure and unsociable guy which is in total contrast to characters he had played in the past. (Insert here his Moulin Rouge character). Jonathan is said to be doomed, ready to be swallowed by work and life.
On the other hand, Hugh Jackman’s character Attorney Wyatt Bose, is the very aggressive type. (I can say that this is perfect for this hunky guy!) His aggressiveness as Wolverine is subtly shown in his character. Wyatt is oozing with self-confidence and charm. Every man wants to be like him.
Their friendship bloomed one day between drug smokes. Wyatt introduced Jonathan to the very exclusive The List where he met “S” (played by Michelle Williams). This is where the confusion and thriller scenes start.
With a certified talented cast, Deception is a must see!

baby maker!
Graded as B- by critics, Baby Mama is one hilarious movie!
Baby Mama stars two of the best sitcom comediennes in the television industry. And now, their hilarious antics and over-the-top acting brings them together in this funny movie.
Kate (played by Tina Fey) is a successful 37 year old single woman. She is independent. She is career driven. She has a successful life. That’s all a woman can ask for, right? Wrong.
Kate’s success cannot compensate her loneliness. To be able to overcome this isolation she plans to have a baby of her own. But, she did not want to give up her successful career so she employs a substitute mother (played by Amy Poehler) who will bear the child for her. The thing is, the one Kate hired is so “slap-happy” and overly-aggressive that this became the worst and the best time of her life.
Critics grade this movie as B- because of its ala sitcom setting and downright flat jokes. But, the superb acting of the two comediennes gave this new movie a boost to stardom.
This movie mixes an extraordinary dose of clumsiness and female jokes and cleverness.
Directed and written by Michael McCullers, the movie is comparable to a dumb blonde. But nevertheless, their funny antics and hilarious comments will leave you laughing so hard on the floor.
This movie is one of the few which are in fact genuinely humorous and witty.

suspense horror film about… strippers!
A certified sex symbol starred in a suspense horror film about… strippers!
Jenna Jameson and Robert Englund stars in this sensual, suspenseful and surprisingly hilarious movie about a fatal chemo disease set by a US government agency. This lethal virus can cause the dead to rise and be alive (or be a zombie) once again. Unluckily, the deadly virus gets to penetrate in an underground strip club where a beautiful stripper (played by Jenna Jameson) was infected and turns into a flesh-eating, sexy-dancing stripper monstrosity! This made the club and her pretty famous which led to the jealousy of her fellow strippers.
This movie is heaven for all men out there! First of all, it’s a horror movie and second, there are a handful of sexy strippers! The combination of sex and gory scenes makes this stripper movie a hit. Who would have thought that a naked dead person can be as sexy as those in Zombie Strippers.
Packed with a sexy cast and an R-rating, Zombie Strippers is definitely so deadly and sexy!

not another croc movie!
Not another croc movie!
From the makers of “Wolf Creek” comes another movie featuring a scary beast—a crocodile.
Michael Vartan stars in this another crocodile movie as Pete McKell, an American travel writer in the quest of covering the vast land and water of the Australian outback. Leading him in his journey-slash-adventure is a hot and sexy tour guide, Kate (played by Radha Mitchell). They were at first not in good terms but as the day progress; Pete began to see Kate as someone he can deal with romantically. But, as any crocodile movie, their journey as cut short when they found out that a scary giant crocodile is after them. They found themselves trying to hold on for their dear lives.
The group found themselves being attacked by a rogue crocodile after venturing on an uncharted terrain. With no other choice but to go ashore on a mud island, they realized that they are trapped in the den of a beast ready to devour his freshly caught victims. As each of their plans to be able to stay alive fail, their hope of surviving is slowly diminishing leaving them to encounter the scary and giant beast face to face.
This film tackles the struggle of a group of tourists who tries to battle it out with a fierce beast. Though there are already a lot of croc films in the movie scene, I think that this movie offers something else that others do not. This will surely give viewers the creeps and able them to gain respect (or even fear) for the crocodiles alive.
Lesson learned: crocodiles can be mean!

My ExBoyfriend's Wedding
From the creator of “Latter Days” and writer of “Sweet Home Alabama” comes a romantic comedy film which will surely be a hit!
Imagine the shock of Matt (played by the most eligible bachelor in 2007, Philipp Karner) when he founds out that his former boyfriend (YES! You read it right a BOYfriend) is getting married to a GIRL. Ryan (played by James O’Shea) is marrying a confident and beautiful woman, Alex (played by Tori Spelling).
He decided to go back to the town where Ryan and Alex lives in the hopes that he can get is former love back. While Matt is trying to steal away Ryan from his fiancé, Alex is beginning to like Matt. Ryan, on the other hand, is trying to forget about what he feels for Matt and focuses more on his new girl and wedding. For Ryan, his “thing” for Matt will always only be mere high school love. For Matt, on the other hand, he is still in love with his bestfriend-turned-exboyfriend. Matt must be able to handle all of these plus much more in this romantic comedy film.
This movie is the gay version of “My Bestfriend’s Wedding” but it’s quirkier and much more fun! The story is quite exceptional and intriguing. Its witty, funny and sensual script will surely make everyone laugh out loud and its romantic story will let everyone fall in love with it. It will surely make a statement on going beyond the actual borders of sexuality, relationships and love and making a say for oneself.

Heee-yah!
Forbidden Kingdom
Want to see an action packed movie? Here it is! It’s coming in theaters this week!
This is the first movie where Jackie Chan and Jet Li teams up!
Michael Angarano stars as in this movie wherein he plays a Kung Fu-obsessed teenager, Jason Williams. His obsession takes him to a wild journey. When he held a Chinese staff in an antique store, he was brought back to the past. There he met Lu Yan (played by Jackie Chan), Silent Monk (played by Jet Li) and Golden Sparrow (played by Crystal Liu Yi Fei). Jason was then trained to be able to return the Chinese staff to the Monkey King. It must be full of action cuts and superb martial arts scenes!
This film must be the bomb! Jackie Chan and Jet Li alone are two of the greatest martial artists in the world. It must be thrilling to watch both martial artists and actors in the same film! Plus, who would be able to forget the superb acting of Michael Angarano in his previous films like Sky High.
Can’t wait for it to hit the big screen! I will definitely watch it!

Another Harold and Kumar movie!
It has been quite some time now when we last saw the tandem of John Cho and Kal Penn in the big screen. These two superb comedians once starred in the movie “Harold and Kumar goes to White Castle”. And now, their humorous antics, racist dialogues and hilarious facial expressions bring us to another comedy film, Harold and Kumar escapes from Guantanamo Bay.
Harold and Kumar (John Cho and Kal Penn), the two best buds, wanted to have yet another great time at the land of smokes (cigarette smoke, that is), Amsterdam. However, their dream of a fun-filled vacation full of beer bars and cigarette smokes was cut short when they were mistaken for terrorists at the airplane their in. Directed and written by Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, witness how they try to get out of their sticky situation in this hilarious movie starring two of the wackiest comedians in the planet.
Can’t wait for this movie! It is yet another wacky and crazy film! I really like John and Kal’s tandem. For two persons coming from two very different races, their chemistry (not the love team chemistry!) on screen is great! Though there isn’t much of a story, I believe that it is still a good laugh-out-loud movie to watch. I hope that this is better than the first installment of the movie! If that is true, then it is worth it to pop some popcorn because the first one left me laughing so hard rather than overworking my brain cells too much.
You don’t have to wear your thinking cap with Harold and Kumar goes to White Castle. It is just a plain comedy movie! And if this one, Harold and Kumar escapes from Guantanamo Bay, is just like the first one, then the viewers must get ready for a funny thrilling ride of their life!

High School Musical
Disney is at it again! High School Musical, another Disney live film, is not like any other teen movie. It is a musical show! High School Musical is, I can say, the most commercialized live Disney flick. There are 2 installments (and counting! one of which was still in progress), various versions of the film (dance, sing-a-long, and trivia), and even Disneyland shows! Kids and tweeners gladly accepted this teen “musical” show.
High School Musical is all about going beyond what is the status quo. The story revolves on the team-up of two very different teens. Gabriella Montez (played by Vanessa Hudgens) is a very smart high school teen who just moved to the city where Troy Bolton (played by Zac Efron) lives. Troy, on the other hand, is the star of the wild cats basketball team. He is the not so typical basketball player since he loves to sing too (which is totally embarrassing according to Troy’s dad, who also coaches the wild cats basketball team). Their “love” brought them to the stage and star the musical show of their school.
It is not a typical teen movie since, for the most part, the characters suddenly bursts into songs and dances. Though their singing and dancing is not at least par with the movie Grease, I still commend the actors since their songs and dances are actually catchy. Every kid on our block knows their songs and dance moves!
The movie in general was intended for kids and tweeners since the story for me was a little shallow. But then again, High School Musical is still worth to watch if you don’t have something better to do at home. :)

the Pacifier: Vin Diesel outside his box
When you're down and low, lower than the floor, And you feel like you ain't got a chance. Bom, bom, bom, Don't make a move till you're in the groove And do the Peter Panda Dance. *clap clap* Just hop three times like a kangaroo, Side-step twice just like those crabs do. Three steps forward, one step back. Quick like a turtle, lie on your back! Roll like a log till you can't roll no more!' Better jump up quick like there ain't no floor. Hold your breath, and slide to the left'. And that's the Peter, I swear that's the Peter, That's the Peter Panda Dance! -- Shane Wolfe from The Pacifier (quote from IMDB.com)
After watching the Disney film, The Pacifier, starring Mr. Vin Diesel, I can´t help myself humming the tune of the ¨Peter Panda Dance¨. Plus, it was amusing to watch Vin Diesel, who is very muscular and manly, sing and dance like that! (And you thought Vin Diesel was only for hard action films!)
The Pacifier is a typical family movie – with a little twist. It is jam packed with action cuts and funny antics by the Plummer kids and Shane Wolfe (Vin Diesel, himself). Vin Diesel showed his expertise in crime-fighting action scenes. He is obviously superb in this kind of field. He also has the serious vibe which definitely showed in his acting!
What I don´t like about its story is the ¨love team¨ between the principal and Shane. It seems it was there just to lengthen the plot. This part of the story was not even developed that much.
Then again, it´s still amusing to watch the movie It´s fun to see Vin Diesel act outside his ¨action movie boundaries¨. Watching The Pacifier will leave you humming the Peter Panda tune for days and feeling good inside. It is the perfect movie to watch if you don´t have something better to do at home.

On Loving and Living
If Only is a movie giving life to the saying ¨If only I could turn back time¨. Jennifer Love Hewitt and Paul Nicholls stars in this drama movie which shows that anyone can die at the blink of an eye. No one can stop death. But no one can stop someone from loving...
Samantha Andrews (Jennifer Love Hewitt) is an American studying in a music school in London. She lives with her British boyfriend, Ian Wyndham, who is busy all the time. Samantha is the typical enthusiastic and perky American who just wants to have fun and live life. Ian, on the other hand, is the mysterious type. He is focused on his career more than anything else-- not even Samantha. The first half of the film takes us on a typical day of Samantha and Ian. However, at the end of the day, fate separated Samantha and Ian apart when Sam dies on a car accident. Ian was disheartened by the situation. The next day, Ian found himself on the same situation, everything happening all over again. He was given another chance to redo all of his mistakes! But then again, found himself failing to defy his and Samantha´s fate. Every ¨premonition¨ still comes true. At the end of the day, Ian was able to express how he really feels. He was able to appreciate Samantha, as what the taxi driver would like him to do. The end of the movie showed an exciting twist on the story. Ian sacrificed his life for Samantha and was able to spare her life. (Isn´t that the essence of love? -- sacrifice.)
¨I have to tell you this and you need to hear it. I loved you since I met you, but I wouldn't allow myself to truly feel it until today. I was always thinking ahead, making decisions soaked with fear... Today, because of you... what I learned from you; every choice I made was different and my life has completely changed... and I've learned that if you do that, then you're living your life fully... it doesn't matter if you have five minutes or fifty years. Samantha if not for today, if not for you I would never have known love at all... So thank you for being the person who taught me to love... and to be love.¨ -- Ian Wyndham*
This movie is a certified tear-jerker! Though the movie´s first 30 minutes was a little dull, the movie´s twist was superb and will keep your eyes glued on the screen. Their acting was average but convincing enough to leave you crying. The cinematography, I can say, was exquisite! This movie will surely inspire you to love and be loved!

Stepping it up the 2nd time around
Should I watch Step Up 2?
I really loved its predecessor Step Up, a movie featuring the hunky and oh-so-talented Channing Tatum. It has a little bit of highschool-ish drama of a rich girl-poor boy kind of plot. It does not require a lot of mental power to decipher whether or not the poor “prince” will end up with the rich and beautiful “princess” (Everyone knows they will end up together eventually and they did in this movie ha-ha). It is a plain feel-good movie. It has nothing new in its plot.
Step Up is not just an ordinary chick flick. It is a dance flick. The end scene features a really interesting dance routine mixing ballet and hip hop together. What makes Step Up different from other flicks is its main feature is not just the plot but an extravagant showcase of talent from its actors.
Now, the makers of Step Up made an installment featuring a new cast and new moves—Step Up 2. I haven’t watched the film yet but I am looking forward to. That did not stop me from searching the internet about critics’ reviews on the movie.
It was not a shocker that critics gave it a mix review—some liking it, some giving it a thumbs down. It is obviously not as good as the plot of Da Vinci Code or
So now, should I still watch Step Up 2?
I should.
I should give it a chance. I should see this movie to check if the reviews are actually right. I really hope this movie won’t fail me.
I’ll tell you what I feel and think about it in my next entry. :)
