Les Miserables (Universal Pictures)

This is the story of Jean Valjean a former prisoner and the people around him that is involved in his past and present.A story of poor people and the the injustice happening in their government.



The Negative:
1.) There are times that the actors singing their lines made me irritated especially when it's out of control.(but well it's a musical film)
2.)Russel Crowe is not for musical.I find his voice off whenever he sings that erased his good acting.

The Positive:

1.) Clap, clap,clap to Hugh Jackman for giving justice to his role as Jean Valjean from the beginning till the end of the movie. He was a great actor. What a transformation.
2.) All the cast are good in this movie and met my expectations.
3.) The movie was well-created and performed. You will feel like your in the 1800's.
4.) A movie full of lessons, an eye-opener to unfair government and facing justice and revenge.

This is the story of Pi Patel and his adventure after the shipwreck that killed his family and surviving the sea with a bengal tiger named Richard Parker....




The Negative:

1.)Some of the symbolism's animals and traditional events may be confusing to some movie goers.

One More Try (Star Cinema) Philippines

This is a story of a single mother with a dying child and her sacrifices to save the life of her son by having another child with her ex-lover who was now married but struggling to have their own child...



The Negative:

1.) First of all the film forgot to fix the dubbing, It was too obvious in the opening of their mouth.
2.) The acting skills shown by Zanjoe Marudo was still lacking that makes it look funny and awkward though it is still acceptable since it's his first drama.
3.)Angelica Panganiban was a bit disappointment for me knowing that she has been long in the business.She has an expression that is not intended and a high-low voice.
4.)In the story,the solution should have been easier if they followed Jac's advice to go abroad for Botchok's (the son) treatment instead of SEX.(It's obvious that the director just wanted to add sexy scenes.)

The Positive:

1.) Well, overall the story and acting was great and complicated that makes it interesting to mass people.
2.)Ding Dong Dantes put justice to his role as a father, a husband and an ex-lover. He was intense and yes-HOT in many scenes!
3.)Angel Locsin have all my praises. She is truly one of the best in Philippine's entertainment.Additional to that was her voluptuous body to die-for and an innocent but naughty beauty. This is so far her BEST.
4.)The scene of Grace (Angel Locsin) and his son hugging each other after the second try made a lot of people cry-Best SCENE for me.
5.)The cat-fight between the two leading ladies was intense and well performed.(so real?!)
6.)The lines are also great that can be an addition to Philippine movies famous lines.
